Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study revealed major findings on spatio‐temporal behavior of commensal rodents on a pig farm showing the influence of interspecific dominance on movement behavior and the resulting species‐specific ecological adaptations. Additionally, rodents tend to stay in their home ranges and migration to other stable buildings is only rare.

Economic Inquiry, EarlyView.
Abstract Can consumer confidence account for the leading indicator property of household investment (HI) over the US business cycle? We find that it does. Consumer confidence leads HI and housing starts by two and one‐quarter, respectively. Household investment increases persistently after a positive confidence shock, and so do total hours worked ...

A series of (un)fortunate events: Commercial bank interest rates and deposit reallocation during the Great Depression in the Netherlands

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract During the global economic crisis of 1929–33, deposits in the Dutch commercial banking sector sharply declined as funds shifted to the government‐guaranteed Post Office Savings Bank and other savings institutions. Unlike earlier studies for neighbouring countries, we demonstrate that this shift was driven less by a flight to safety and more by

Life‐cycle living standards of male‐headed households: Evidence from Stockholm, 1800–80

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent research in economic history argues for using a household life cycle standard‐of‐living approach that includes the income and expenses of all household members and considers fluctuations in the household over the life course. This study builds on that approach by empirically examining the development of living standards in male‐headed ...
