Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

An Economic Analysis of Difficulty Adjustment Algorithms in Proof‐of‐Work Blockchain Systems

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the stability of cryptocurrency systems through difficulty adjustment. Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment algorithm (DAA) exhibits instability when the reward elasticity of the hash rate is high, implying that a sharp price reduction could disrupt the current Bitcoin system.

Cryptocurrency Bubbles and Costly Mining

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops a model of a cryptocurrency by incorporating mining into the otherwise standard search‐theoretic monetary framework. As usual, multiple equilibria exist. To obtain a sharp prediction on whether a cryptocurrency' s value will last in the future, I propose a notion of equilibrium refinement based on the feature that mining ...
