What can lithics tell us about food production during the transition to farming? Exploring harvesting practices and cultural changes during the neolithic in Southwest Asia: a view from Qminas (north‐western Syria)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the continuity and change in harvesting practices between the Late Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B (LPPNB) and the Early Pottery Neolithic at Qminas, north‐western Levant, through a traceological analysis of flint sickles. By combining qualitative traceological analysis with quantitative functional approaches, we demonstrate that ...

The amino terminal domain of the human α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit leads to the functional expression of human/insect receptors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Human α7 receptors have been characterised in terms of pharmacological properties. Insertion of the N‐terminal domain of the human α7 subunit leads to honeybee and cockroach chimeric receptors activated by ACh and inhibited by α‐Bgt. Insertion of the human cys‐loop leads to cockroach chimeric receptors modulated by PNU.

Allocative efficiency and the productivity slowdown

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper evaluates the contribution of cross‐sector allocative efficiency to the productivity slowdown in the US during the 1970s and 2000s. We extend the framework of Oberfield (2013) to derive sufficient statistics for allocative efficiency and decompose aggregate productivity growth in a multisector economy.

Aggregate productivity effect of labour and capital market distortions in Canada

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract How efficiently are workers, investment capital, and production distributed across firms in Canada? And how have they varied over time, across regions, and between sectors? To answer these questions, we present novel measures of the degree of resource misallocation over time and space using uniquely detailed firm‐level data (T2‐LEAP) between ...
