Assessing the Effectiveness of Workers' Selection Exams: The Case of the Bank of Italy

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐stakes exams can be used to rank and select candidates for job openings, and the ability of those selected hinges on the design of the exam. I propose a method to model candidates' performance to assess how effective the exam is at selecting high‐ability candidates.

Prospective Head Motion Correction in T1‐ and T2‐Weighted Long Echo Train Sequences Using Servo Navigation

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 4, Page 1741-1754, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To integrate MR‐based servo navigation in MPRAGE and 3D‐TSE sequences and demonstrate its potential for prospective head motion correction in structural imaging. Methods Repeated modules of servo navigators were inserted before each preparation pulse of MPRAGE and 3D‐TSE sequences (before‐prep) for rapid convergence of motion parameter

Converting an Integer to a Decimal String in Under Two Nanoseconds

open access: yesSoftware: Practice and Experience, Volume 56, Issue 8, Page 963-977, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Converting binary integers to variable‐length decimal strings is a fundamental operation in computing. Conventional fast approaches rely on recursive division and small lookup tables. The goal of this work is to develop a significantly faster method for this task.

Basins of Attraction and Escape in Pendulum‐Type Potentials with Quadratic Air Drag

open access: yesZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Volume 106, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Quadratic air drag is a common dissipative mechanism at moderate to high velocities, yet in nonlinear one‐degree‐of‐freedom systems, it typically blocks closed‐form solutions and energy‐based phase‐plane partitions. We study the autonomous class ẍ+α(x)|ẋ|ẋ+β(x)sgn(ẋ)+V′(x)=0,$$\begin{equation*} \ddot{x}+\alpha (x)\,|\dot{x}|\,\dot{x}+\beta

Tackling the Regressivity at the Top of the Italian Tax System: An Optimal Taxation Framework With Heterogeneous Returns to Capital

open access: yesReview of Income and Wealth, Volume 72, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In this work, we exploit the new data available from the European Central Bank's Distributional Wealth Accounts to reconstruct the distribution of capital income in Italy by accounting for heterogeneous returns to capital. We find stark disparities in returns to wealth: average rates rise from 2.5% for the bottom 90% to 5% for the top 10% of ...
