The Role of Admission Probabilities in the Deferred Acceptance Mechanism: An Experimental Study

International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although students theoretically need not consider admission probabilities under strategy‐proof mechanisms in school choice problems, our study reveals a significant correlation between students' applications and their beliefs about admission probabilities in the deferred acceptance mechanism.

Identifying Peer Effects in Networks with Unobserved Effort and Isolated Students

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peer influence on effort devoted to some activity is often studied when effort is unobserved, and the researcher instead observes an outcome that combines effort with other shocks. For instance, in education, achievement measures such as GPA reflect both effort and idiosyncratic GPA shocks.

Deniers and Compliers: Unpacking the Heterogeneous Effectiveness of U.S. Stay‐at‐Home Mandates During the COVID‐19 Pandemic

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While existing work shows COVID‐19 stay‐at‐home (SAH) policies decreased mobility on average, we lack evidence regarding heterogeneity in policy effectiveness across US counties. To uncover potential heterogeneity, we implement a novel two‐stage approach.

We provide estimates of two key mobility measures: overall mobility, which captures total intergenerational movement ...

The Relevance of Apology to Reparations for Historical Injustice

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explains the centrality of apology to an adequate account of reparations. I look in depth at what goes on in apology. As I have previously argued, apology is an expressive action through which we seek to mark adequately the significance of our own wrongdoing. I claim that apology so understood is not merely ornamental.

No Apologies? The Role of Apology for Structural‐Historical Injustice

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During this era of political apologies, a new literature has emerged in historical injustice interrogating the relationship between structural and historical injustice, with various theories conceptualising the relationship in different ways. Interestingly, ‘apology’ rarely appears in this literature.

Love and Cause: When Is Biomedically Enhanced Love Desirable?

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is a philosophical debate about whether the use of biomedical enhancements to promote or sustain love in romantic relationships is compatible with the desirability of such love. We argue that enhancements are problematic in this respect only if they substantially replace the causal role of the beloved's identity in generating the lover's

Mode‐of‐Action and Human Relevance Assessment for Diisononyl Phthalate‐Induced Liver Tumors in Rodents

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) is a high molecular weight phthalate and high production volume chemical. DINP's carcinogenic potential has been investigated in four rodent bioassays, with liver tumors observed in three of the studies. Authoritative assessments have hypothesized that DINP acts through the peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor

A counterfactual and random intercept cross‐lagged panel analysis of the effects of reading frequency on adolescent mental health in a large longitudinal study

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Reading has been proposed as a protective factor in mental health; however, evaluating this is challenging due to a lack of trials and the possibility of confounding in observational studies. Methods We used the complementary approaches of covariate balancing propensity score weighting and random intercepts cross‐lagged panel models
