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.

ABSTRACT We estimate the causal effects of the introduction of the minimum wage in Germany on the distributions of hourly wages, monthly earnings, and hours worked, combining rich large‐scale data sources. We compare linear and non‐linear versions of distribution regression difference‐in‐differences (DR‐DiD) and also estimate bivariate DR‐DiD.

Economies of Scale to Consumption in Collective Households
ABSTRACT Browning et al. (2013) model collective‐household economies of scale in goods consumption by having each good be partly shared, instead of each good being public or private. We modify their model to achieve simple point identification and estimation of the economies of scale of consumption of each good, and we provide a new index of household ...

School Starting Age and the Gender Pay Gap Over the Life Cycle
ABSTRACT This paper replicates and extends the evidence on the lifetime effects of school starting age on earnings by Fredriksson and Öckert (2014) for Sweden. Using German data for individuals born between 1945 and 1965, we examine a more rigid system of ability tracking in secondary education, a potential driver of long‐term effects.

Robustness to Model Misspecification in Bayesian Experimental Design
Scientific experiments can be costly to conduct due to various reasons. Therefore, researchers need to choose the experimental design which allows them to obtain the highest amount of information possible. As an information-theoretical framework based on

Exchange Rate Expectations and Functional Misspecification.
The authors employ the Cooley-Prescott adaptive model to examine for functional misspecification in three commonly used exchange rate expectation models. They also test for heterogeneity among forecasts.

ABSTRACT Mental health concerns among college students remain a pressing issue, yet most research examines psychopathology in isolation from positive mental health. This study integrated the stress process model (SPM) and the dual‐continua model to test whether belongingness, resilience, and perfectionism‐standards mediate the associations between ...

ABSTRACT The ability of organisms to effectively respond to challenges is critical for survival. We investigated how an acute stressor affected corticosterone, mitochondrial function, and DNA oxidative damage in a wild population of Leach's storm‐petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous).

Causal inference in oral health research: Beyond statistical significance toward a causal framework
Abstract Background Oral health research has adopted sophisticated statistical methods, yet studies routinely present adjusted associations as causal effects. The problem is not statistical competence but the absence of explicit causal reasoning. This commentary proposes a principled framework for causal reasoning in oral health research.
