A Comparative Note on the Reliability of Inequality Indicator Estimates
Summary The importance of accurate measurement of economic or social inequality is generally accepted. Estimators of its most popular measure, the Gini coefficient, are commonly criticised for becoming increasingly imprecise for increasingly skewed distributions and small to moderate samples, i.e., two phenomena that we face more frequently today.

Background Neurofeedback (NF) is a nonpharmacological approach for ADHD, but standard protocols often overlook individual EEG variability, potentially limiting efficacy. We report the first double‐blind randomized controlled trial of a session‐adaptive individualized upper‐alpha NF protocol in children with ADHD, based on individualized 1/f + alpha ...

Unequal and Unstable: Income Inequality and Bank Risk
Abstract We present a model in which income inequality interacts with banks' risk‐taking incentives, generating financial instability. Competition and deposit insurance cause some banks to lend to lower‐income borrowers at underpriced rates, creating “risky banks” that fail in downturns, while others lend to higher‐income borrowers and avoid default ...
