Ectomycorrhizal community composition, diversity, and their environmental drivers across common UK temperate woodlands by Ong, Wei Sern

“…The main variables identified to influence ECM community composition (pH, vegetation species richness) were also different from the variables identified to influence ECM richness (vegetation proportions, fine root biomass). Overall, our findings contribute towards developing a more comprehensive assessment of ECM communities and their driving factors in the context of common UK woodlands habitats.…”

When Do Investors Freak Out? Machine Learning Predictions of Panic Selling by Elkind, Daniel, Kaminski, Kathryn, Lo, Andrew W., Siah, Kien Wei, Wong, Chi Heem

“…Using a novel dataset of 653,455 individual brokerage accounts belonging to 298,556 households, we document the frequency, timing, and duration of panic sales, which we define as a decline of 90% of a household account’s equity assets over the course of one month, of which 50% or more is due to trades. We find that a disproportionate number of households make panic sales when there are sharp market downturns, a phenomenon we call ‘freaking out.’ …”

Temperature and Cognitive Performance: Evidence from Mental Arithmetic Training by Krebs, Benjamin

“…Using data from 31,000 individuals and 1.15 million games played, I analyze frequent engagement in a cognitively challenging task in a non-stressful and familiar environment. I find that, above a threshold of 16.5∘ C, a 1∘ C increase in outside air temperature leads to a performance reduction of 0.13%. …”

Life-cycle stock market participation in taxable and tax-deferred accounts by Zhou, Jie.

“…This paper develops a quantitative life-cycle model to study the optimal stock market participation choice for households with assets in both TAs and TDAs. We find that differential costs of stock market participation in the two accounts explain the higher participation rate in TDAs early in life relative to TAs and the increasing stock market participation rate in TAs over the life cycle. …”
