The perils of a dual mandate by Cantore, C, Dhamija, V

“…Specifically, the government controls the quantity of nominal debt, enabling price level determination independently of the interest rate trajectory (Hagedorn, 2021). Our findings indicate that under an inflation-targeting regime, price level determinacy is often the exception than the norm when the central bank pursues a dual mandate. …”

Fine-scale genetic structure and natural selection signatures of southwestern Hans inferred from patterns of genome-wide allele, haplotype, and haplogroup lineages by Wang, Mengge, Yuan, Didi, Zou, Xing, Wang, Zheng, Yeh, Hui-Yuan, Liu, Jing, Wei, Lan-Hai, Wang, Chuan-Chao, Zhu, Bofeng, Liu, Chao, He, Guanglin

“…Generally, we provided a case and ideal strategy to reconstruct the detailed demographic evolutionary history of Guizhou Hans, which provided new insights into the fine-scale genomic formation of one ethnolinguistically specific targeted population from the comprehensive perspectives of the shared unlinked alleles, linked haplotypes, and paternal and maternal lineages.…”

Diversity of Idea Flows and Economic Growth by Pentland, Alex

“…New forms of geo-located communications and economic data allow measurement of human interaction patterns and prediction of economic outcomes for individuals, communities, and nations at a fine granularity, with the strongest predictors of income, productivity, and growth being measures of diversity and frequency of physical interaction between communities (clusters of interaction). This finding provides both new investment opportunities and new methods of risk assessment. …”

Agricultural transition and the adoption of primitive technology by Ang, James B.

“…Using a proxy for the geographic diffusion barriers of Neolithic technology and an index of biogeographic endowments to isolate the exogenous component of the timing of agricultural transition, the findings indicate that countries that experienced earlier transitions to agriculture were subsequently more capable of adopting new technologies in 1000 BC, 1 AD, and 1500 AD. …”

What motivates parents to mediate children’s use of smartphones? An application of the theory of planned behavior by Shin, Wonsun, Kim, Hye Kyung

“…A survey conducted with parents of young smartphone users aged 10–17 shows that parents tend to perceive discussion-based active mediation to be more desirable, as compared to rule-making restrictive mediation. Findings also indicate that the extent to which parents believe that they have control over their parental mediation practices plays an important role in forming positive intentions to practice parental mediation, regardless of the mediation domain.…”

Perceived economic prospects during the early stage of COVID-19 breakout by Li, Keyang, Qin, Yu, Wu, Jing, Yan, Jubo

“…Results show that fewer new confirmed COVID-19 cases significantly increase individuals' expectations on gross domestic product and consumer price index growth rates. Our finding provides evidence that at the early stage of an unfamiliar epidemic, containing the spread of the disease may help to maintain positive economic expectations among individuals.…”
