Quality Regulation and Unexpected Gaming: Evidence From Mandating Flight Delay Compensation
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Policies that target a single aspect of agents' motivation may lead to their diminished efforts in other areas. This paper examines the effect of the European Union's flight delay compensation policy on flight on‐time performance by exploiting a unique policy variation in a difference‐in‐differences framework.

Imaging malaria parasites across scales and time
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract The idea that disease is caused at the cellular level is so fundamental to us that we might forget the critical role microscopy played in generating and developing this insight. Visually identifying diseased or infected cells lays the foundation for any effort to curb human pathology.
