Traffic-related ultrafine particles impair mitochondrial functions in human olfactory mucosa cells – Implications for Alzheimer's disease

Redox Biology
Constituents of air pollution, the ultrafine particles (UFP) with a diameter of ≤0.1 μm, are considerably related to traffic emissions. Several studies link air pollution to Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet the exact relationship between the two remains ...

Automobile engine variants and price discrimination [PDF]

Using a structural model of demand for automobile engine variants, this paper finds that there is second-degree price discrimination: markups increase with engine size. Still, average markups are lower than when models have just one engine.

Price discrimination and price sensitivity in the car market : working paper, comment welcome [PDF]

The model in Verboven (2002) is extended to include non-zero price elasticities and behavior in the fuel market is modelled explicitly. With the aid of simulations it is shown, that this makes quite a difference and, therefore, might lead to bias in ...
