The Compatriot Win Effect and Behavioural Biases in Lottery Markets

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents evidence to support the compatriot win effect as a behavioural bias in lottery demand. We exploit the quasi‐random assignment of the jackpot prize across provinces in the Christmas draw of the Spanish National Lottery to examine whether lottery sales increase in jackpot‐winning provinces in subsequent draws.

Macroeconomic Spillovers of Weather Shocks Across U.S. States

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the short‐run effects of weather‐related disasters on local economic activity and cross‐border spillovers that operate through economic linkages between U.S. states. To this end, we use emergency declarations triggered by natural disasters and estimate their effects using a monthly global vector autoregressive (GVAR) model for U.S.

Removal of Transgenes and Evaluation of Yield Penalties in Genome Edited Bacterial Blight Resistant Rice Varieties

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacterial blight (BB) of rice, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is one of the major drivers of yield losses in Africa and Asia. Xoo secretes TAL‐effectors (TALe) that induce host SWEET sucrose uniporter by binding to the effector binding element (EBE) of SWEET promoters, likely required for Xoo reproduction and virulence.
