This study mimics clinical patch testing for the diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis, by application of patch test preparations of fragrance terpenes to ex vivo human skin samples. The study investigates the penetration of linalool hydroperoxide and limonene hydroperoxide in skin, alongside an analysis of the lipid‐modifying effects of the patch ...

When in Doubt, Tax More Progressively? Uncertainty and Progressive Income Taxation
ABSTRACT We study the optimal income tax problem under parameter uncertainty about household preferences and wage dynamics. We derive conditions characterizing how such uncertainty affects optimal tax policy. To quantify the effect, we estimate a life‐cycle model using US data and a Bayesian approach.

In the model, startups choose the source of financing from VC, angel investors, or banks, depending on their growth potential, and invest in innovation.

Labor Market Monopsony Power and the Dynamic Gains to Openness Reforms
ABSTRACT We embed labor market monopsony into a dynamic heterogeneous‐firm general equilibrium model with exporting, horizontal FDI, and rich firm lifecycle dynamics. Rising marginal costs with monopsony slow and limit incumbent firm growth in response to liberalization, shifting adjustment to the extensive margin.
