open access: yes, 2011
We define a group stucture on the primitive integer points (A,B,C) of the algebraic variety Q_0(B,C)=A^n, where Q_0 is the principal binary quadratic form of fundamental discriminant \Delta and n is a fixed integer greater than 1.

Going beyond academics: Individualised education plan priorities of parents of autistic children in Ireland

open access: yesBritish Journal of Special Education, EarlyView.
Abstract As the numbers of autistic children attending school in Ireland increases, there is a growing reliance on specialised provision.

Rich Dad Poor Dad? CEO Private School Background and Firm Risk

open access: yesEuropean Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the effect of CEO childhood socioeconomic status (SES) on firm risk. Using hand‐collected data on US CEOs' private high‐school attendance as proxy for high‐SES, we find that firms led by high‐SES CEOs exhibit 5.35% lower firm risk. This effect diminishes with CEO tenure, analyst coverage, and institutional ownership, consistent with

Fine‐scale genetic structure in co‐operatively breeding Palmchats (Dulus dominicus) suggests mixed kinship in compound nests

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.

Not applying due to such application frictions negatively predicts college enrollment after controlling for other attributes.
