Urinary and Faecal Amino‐Acids as Biomarkers for Colorectal Neoplasia in Lynch Syndrome—A Prospective Longitudinal Study

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Lynch syndrome, colonoscopy surveillance for colorectal cancer (CRC) is burdensome and post‐colonoscopy CRCs still occur. Unlike the faecal immunochemical test (FIT), gut metabolomic alterations including amino‐acids have shown potential as non‐invasive biomarkers for detecting both advanced and non‐advanced sporadic colorectal neoplasia ...

Revisiting the Nexus Between Trade Liberalisation and Income Inequality: The Case of Sub‐Saharan African Countries

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of trade liberalisation on income inequality across 24 Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries from 2000 to 2020. Using IV‐Tobit and 2SLS models, we consistently find that greater trade openness significantly exacerbates inequality in the region. Critically, we document an inverted U‐shaped relationship between trade

Asymmetric Long‐Run Effects of Monetary Policy on Generational Inequality

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the asymmetric long‐run effects of reversing contractionary monetary policy to expansionary policy on generational inequality in the UK using non‐linear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL). The results show that there exists a long‐term relationship between monetary policy and income, consumption, and wealth ...

Maize Yield, Water Productivity and Economic Analysis Under Different Irrigation and Nitrogen Management Strategies Using Field Data and CERES‐Maize Model

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is limited integrated evaluation of nitrogen (N) and irrigation management strategies for improving maize yield and productivity using crop models. The effects of N and irrigation on maize yield and productivity under centre pivot (CPI) and subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) using the CERES‐Maize model were investigated. N treatments were (

On the Negative Bias of the Gini Coefficient due to Grouping [PDF]

Journal of Classification, 2018
The Gini coefficient is a measure of statistical dispersion that is commonly used as a measure of inequality of income, wealth or opportunity. Empirical research has shown that the coefficient may have a nonnegligible downward bias when data are grouped. It is unknown under which grouping conditions the downward bias occurs.

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.
