Investigation of implementation of solar thermal energy on electric power system of Singapore by Ling, Gerald Chien-Ie.

“…There is a great reliance on imported fuel to supply our energy needs. We will need to find other ways to supplement our needs. The unlimited amount of sunshine in Singapore may be able to cover some of these needs. …”

Financial constraints and propagation of shocks in production networks by Demir, B, Javorcik, B, Michalski, TK, Ors, E

“…Using data on almost all Turkish supplier-customer links, we exploit the heterogeneous impact of an unexpected import-tax increase for identification. We find that this relatively minor shock had a nontrivial economic impact on exposed firms and propagated downstream through affected suppliers. …”

Monetary policy and inequality by Andersen, AL, Johannesen, N, Jørgensen, M, Peydró, J

“…We use administrative household-level data covering the entire population in Denmark over the period 1987 to 2014 and exploit a long-standing currency peg as a source of exogenous variation in monetary policy. We find that gains from softer monetary policy in terms of income, wealth, and consumption are monotonically increasing in ex ante income. …”

Exon skipping is correlated with exon circularization by Kelly, S, Greenman, C, Cook, PR, Papantonis, A

“…Here, we stimulated primary human endothelial cells with tumor necrosis factor α or tumor growth factor β, purified RNA, generated > 2.4 billion RNA-seq reads, and used a custom pipeline to characterize circular RNAs derived from coding exons. We find that circularization of exons is widespread and correlates with exon skipping, a feature that adds considerably to the regulatory complexity of the human transcriptome.…”

Policy complexity suppresses dopamine responses by Gershman, SJ, Lak, A

“…In support of this hypothesis, we find that policy complexity suppresses midbrain dopamine responses to reward outcomes. …”

Nietzsche and the significance of genealogy by Prescott-Couch, A

“…On this view, Nietzsche provides a ‘deconstructive genealogy’ that indicates whether and where we should expect to find unity in our current moral practices. Moreover, Nietzsche’s history contributes to a critique of contemporary morality because it reveals that morality is unlikely to have the kind of unity required by many of its defenders. …”

Should investors care where private equity managers went to school? by Fuchs, F, Füss, R, Jenkinson, T, Morkoetter, S

“…In particular, we explore three potential channels of how their educational background may influence fund performance: (i) institutional quality, (ii) individual performance, and (iii) academic variety. We find that a combination of top-tier education and work experience identifies individual performance in the management team. …”
