Sectoral Effects of Social Distancing

AEA Papers and Proceedings, 2020
The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has led many states to take the drastic measures of social distancing. Using US executive order, occupation, and survey data, we measure the fall in labor supply due to these measures. Starting from a model of production networks, we analyze the sectoral effects of these labor shocks for the United States.

Foreign Language Effect and Psychological Distance

Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2017
Does using a foreign language result in forming different moral decisions than using our mother tongue? Two studies were conducted to investigate whether there is a relationship between foreign language effects (differences between native vs. foreign language conditions) and psychological distance. Study 1 tested four moral dilemmas adapted from Greene

Boundary Distance Effects on Overshooting

Journal of Motor Behavior, 1976
Experiments with a subject-paced pursuit tracking task show that overshoot rate is dependent upon the distance between the target and the display boundary measured in the direction of movement, and that a previously noted inverse relationship with distance to the target is artifactual.

The effect of spatial distance on numerical distance processing

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology
The close relationship between numerical and spatial representation has been widely studied. However, little is known regarding the influence of spatial distance on the processing of numerical distance. The purpose of this study was to examine this relationship by employing a modified numerical Stroop task, in which the spatial distance was either ...

Effects of Distance Between Paired Tourniquets

Journal of Special Operations Medicine, 2017
In practice, the distance between paired tourniquets varies with unknown effects.Ratcheting Medical Tourniquets were applied to both thighs of 15 subjects distally (fixed location) and proximally (0, 2, 4, 8, 12cm gap widths, randomized block). Applications were pair, single distal, single appropriate proximal.

Effect of Distance on Heterochromatic Matching

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
The brightness of colors in a number of paintings by Francis Pratt appeared to vary as a function of the viewing distance. These pictures were composed of narrow strips of different colors varying in brightness and saturation. Five experiments were undertaken to replicate and study this effect under controlled conditions using heterochromatic ...
