Household sector innovation in China: Impacts of income and motivation
(Elsevier BV, 2020)© 2020 The Authors This research note reports upon the first survey of household sector innovation in China. Compared to previous survey studies we add two first-of-kind variables and related findings. First, we include ... -
Houses as ATMs: Mortgage Refinancing and Macroeconomic Uncertainty
(Wiley, 2019-10)Mortgage refinancing activity associated with extraction of home equity contains a strongly countercyclical component consistent with household demand for liquidity. We estimate a structural model of liquidity management ... -
The Housing Market Effects of Local Home Purchase Restrictions: Evidence from Beijing
(Springer US, 2016-10)Home prices have surged in major Chinese cities, leading to concerns of asset price bubbles and housing affordability. The policy of home purchase restrictions (HPR) has been one of China’s harshest housing market interventions ... -
Housing Market Spillovers: Evidence from the End of Rent Control in Cambridge, Massachusetts
(University of Chicago Press, 2014-06)We measure the capitalization of housing market externalities into residential housing values by studying the unanticipated elimination of stringent rent controls in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1995. Pooling data on the ... -
Housing Prices and the Skills Composition of Neighborhoods
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021-05)In the United States (US), low-income workers are being pushed away from city centers where the cost of living is high. The effects of such changes on labor mobility and housing price have been explored in the literature. ... -
Housing tenure and labor market impacts: The search goes on
(Elsevier, 2008-12)We develop two search-theoretic models emphasizing firm entry to examine the Oswald hypothesis, the idea that homeownership is linked to inferior labor market outcomes, and compare their predictions to three extant theories. ... -
How a nested framework illuminates the challenges of comparative environmental analysis
(National Academy of Sciences (U.S.), 2013-05)Stratospheric ozone loss is on course to become a solved environmental problem, with all significant producing countries (including China and India) undertaking complete phase-outs of ozone-depleting substances. The universal ... -
How a Single-Point Mutation in Horseradish Peroxidase Markedly Enhances Enantioselectivity
(American Chemical Society, 2009-08)The effect of all possible mutations at position 178 on the enantioselectivity of yeast surface-bound horseradish peroxidase (HRP) toward chiral phenols has been investigated. In contrast to their wild-type predecessor, ... -
How accurate can genetic predictions be?
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2012-07)Background Pre-symptomatic prediction of disease and drug response based on genetic testing is a critical component of personalized medicine. Previous work has demonstrated that the predictive capacity of genetic testing ... -
How adults understand what young children say

How Alkyl Chain Length of Alcohols Affects Lignin Fractionation and Ionic Liquid Recycle During Lignocellulose Pretreatment
(Springer US, 2015-07)Abstract Alcohols of increasing alkyl chain length were investigated as precipitants in an ionic liquid (IL) pretreatment system. Switchgrass samples pretreated by 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate were ... -
How American Adults Obtain Work Skills: Results of a New National Survey
(SAGE Publications, 2022)<jats:p> Employer-provided training is an important determinant of economic outcomes, yet our understanding of its extent and distribution is well out of date—with the most recent national survey being from 2008. This ... -

How can we use one fracture to locate another?
(Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2011)Hydraulic fracturing is an important tool that helps extract fluids from the subsurface. It is critical in applications ranging from enhanced oil recovery to geothermal energy pro-duction. As the goal of fracturing is to ... -
How closely do changes in surface and column water vapor follow Clausius-Clapeyron scaling in climate change simulations?
(IOP Publishing, 2010-04)The factors governing the rate of change in the amount of atmospheric water vapor are analyzed in simulations of climate change. The global-mean amount of water vapor is estimated to increase at a differential rate of 7.3% ... -
How Coalescing Droplets Jump
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014-09)Surface engineering at the nanoscale is a rapidly developing field that promises to impact a range of applications including energy production, water desalination, self-cleaning and anti-icing surfaces, thermal management ...
