Does U.S. Immigration Policy Facilitate Financial Misconduct?
Journal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine whether U.S. immigration policy, specifically the H‐1B visa program, affects the likelihood of financial misconduct. We argue that employers have leverage over employees on H‐1B visas because such employees must maintain H‐1B–eligible employment to legally reside in the United States. We posit that companies relying on H‐1B visas to

House prices and the allocation of consumer credit
Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.Abstract While housing market booms improve homeowners' credit access, they could constrain credit availability to renters. Using individual‐level consume credit data, I show that renters have poorer credit access if they live in locations where lenders are more exposed to housing booms and extend more mortgage lending to homeowners across the country.

Journal of Geometric Mechanics, 2016 In Riemannian manifolds the elastica are critical points of the restriction of total squared geodesic curvature to curves with fixed length which satisfy first order boundary conditions. We verify that the Palais-Smale condition holds for this variational problem, and also the related problems where the admissible curves are required to satisfy zeroth ...

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Many citizens find politics too uncivil, and incivility is often considered a source of political disaffection. However, research studying these effects almost exclusively relies on survey experiments, which yield contrasting results depending on design choices and do not study downstream consequences for satisfaction with democracy and ...

Playing the sycophant card: The logic and consequences of professing loyalty to the autocrat
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the centrality of the loyalty–competence framework in research on authoritarian politics, scholars have only focused on material aspects of what elites do in their service to the dictator. Yet nonmaterial aspects such as sycophantically praising the autocrat in speech—a common, everyday practice under authoritarianism, have been ...

Multiparameter discrete Morse theory
Journal of Applied and Computational TopologyThe main objective of this paper is to extend Morse-Forman theory to vector-valued functions. This is mostly motivated by the need to develop new tools and methods to compute multiparameter persistence. To generalize the theory, in addition to adapting the main definitions and results of Forman to this vectorial setting, we use concepts of ...
