Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Critics of human genetic engineering warn that if ever put into practice, this will diminish human diversity, especially regarding skin color. Nonetheless, given the solid and shameful causal link between skin color and discrimination, the provocative question is whether to manipulate this feature and create children whose stereotype‐aligning ...

How do ecologists estimate occupancy in practice?
Ecography, EarlyView.Over 20 years ago, ecologists were introduced to the site occupancy model (SOM) for estimating occupancy rates from detection‐nondetection data. In the ensuing decades, the SOM and its hierarchical modeling extensions have become mainstays of quantitative ecology, and estimating occupancy rates has become one of the most common applications of ...

Consumer Bankruptcy, Mortgage Default, and Labor Supply
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We specify and estimate a life‐cycle model of consumption, housing demand, and labor supply in an environment where individuals can file for bankruptcy and/or default on their mortgages in the presence of house price shock, income shock, and catastrophic expenditure events.

A large deviation principle for last passage times in an asymmetric Bernoulli potential
, 2018 We prove a large deviation principle and give an expression for the rate function, for the last passage time in a Bernoulli environment. The model is exactly solvable and its invariant version satisfies a Burke-type property. Finally, we compute explicit limiting logarithmic moment generating functions for both the classical and the invariant models ...

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In response to the increasing complexity of modern products, dynamic markets, and intensified competition, project‐based organizations are actively seeking methodologies to efficiently manage their expanding project portfolios. This paper analyzes the project portfolio selection problem in uncertain environments. Despite recent advances in the

Bubbles and crashes: A tale of quantiles
Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.Periodically collapsing bubbles, if they exist, induce asymmetric dynamics in asset prices. In this article, I show that unit root quantile autoregressive models can approximate such dynamics by allowing the largest autoregressive root to take values below unity at low quantiles, which correspond to price crashes, and above unity at upper quantiles ...

A strong maximum principle for minimizers of the one-phase Bernoulli problem
Indiana University Mathematics JournalWe prove a strong maximum principle for minimizers of the one-phase Alt-Caffarelli functional. We use this to construct a Hardt-Simon-type foliation associated to any 1-homogenous global minimizer.
