Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Within the Danian Scaglia Rossa Formation appears a regionally correlatable horizon cutting across multiple sections and outcrops within the Umbria–Marche Basin of NE Italy, where it is intercalated with uniform pelagic carbonate successions. This horizon is called “ALE layer” and has tentatively been interpreted as a fine‐grained volcanic ash.

Pseudo, or Not? Neo‐Goodwinian Growth Cycles With Financial Linkages
Metroeconomica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A profit‐led Goodwin mechanism generates the observed counterclockwise activity–labor share cycle. Introducing a financial linkage can reproduce this pattern even when demand is not profit‐led. This paper extends neo‐Goodwinian theory by incorporating the valuation ratio into a four‐dimensional model.

Inequality of Opportunity in a Multiperiod Framework
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper offers a simple model to evaluate and measure inequality of opportunity in a multiperiod framework, in which both circumstances and effort may change over time. We adopt a norm‐based approach and an axiomatic methodology: we first characterise two alternative definitions of a ‘fair distribution’, associated respectively with the ex ...

PlantRG: A Comprehensive and User‐Friendly Database for Plant Resistance Gene Analogs (RGAs)
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Resistance genes are critical for plant defence against biotic stresses, and building a comprehensive, integrated data resource platform for these genes holds great significance for plant research and agriculture. Here, we developed PlantRG (http://plantrg.bio2db.com), a user‐friendly plant resistance gene database, which is built on 2 163 397

Charting Income Inequality: The Lorenz Curve
This paper explains how to build Lorenz Curves for income distributions and discusses their use for inequality measurement. A short conceptual background, a step-by-step procedure and a simple numerical example illustrate how to calculate and draw Lorenz

What's Wrong With “Conceptual Amelioration”?
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Conceptual amelioration aims to make the world a more just place by ameliorating our concepts. I offer three arguments against this enterprise as currently practiced to show how social philosophy aimed at producing social change can be better practiced. First, ameliorators often fail to provide plausible stories to vindicate their claims about

From cognitive coherence to political polarization: A data‐driven agent‐based model of belief change
Political Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Political polarization represents a rising issue in many countries, making it more and more important to understand its relation to cognitive‐motivational and social influence mechanisms. Yet, the link between micro‐level mechanisms and macro‐level phenomena remains unclear.

The construction and interpretation of combined cross-section and time-series inequality datasets [PDF]
The inequality dataset compiled in the 1990s by the World Bank and extended by the United Nations has been both widely used and strongly criticized. The criticisms raise questions about conclusions drawn from secondary inequality datasets in general. The
