Possible triplet superconductivity in MOSFETs
, 1998 A theory that predicts a spin-triplet, even-parity superconducting ground state in two-dimensional electron systems is re-analyzed in the light of recent experiments showing a possible insulator-to-conductor transition in such systems.

Building a Potemkin village in occupied China: Japan's wartime system of linked trade, 1939–43
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract The paper discusses the novel but little‐known exchange rate system of Japanese‐occupied North China during the Second Sino‐Japanese War, in which exporters were given the right to import in the form of a piece of yellow paper, which could be sold in the secondary market.

Chasing the perfida Albione: Anglo‐Italian productivity gap in the late 1930s
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents new estimates of Anglo‐Italian labour productivity levels in manufacturing in the late 1930s, derived using the standard single‐deflation approach. The findings confirm a substantial productivity gap between Italy and the United Kingdom at the aggregate level, alongside pronounced intersectoral heterogeneity.

Gender inequality in urban British Africa: Evidence from Anglican marriage registers
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract We examine the colonial origins and evolution of gender inequality in mission schooling and formal labour force participation across six cities in British colonial Africa, using marriage register data for some 30,000 Anglican brides and grooms well‐positioned to benefit from colonial educational and employment opportunities.

Automatically R-Conserving SUSY SO(10) Models and Mixed Light Higgs Doublets
, 1994 In automatic R-parity conserving SO(10) models, the simplest way to accomodate realistic fermion masses is to demand that that the light Higgs doublets be linear combinations of the {10} and {126}-bar grand unified Higgs representations.

Exploring the leaky pipeline: Tokenism, status group effects, or self‐selection?
European Management Review, EarlyView.Abstract In most European universities today, more than 50% of bachelor's degrees are awarded to women, but the corresponding share of full professorships is only about 25%. This phenomenon is called the leaky pipeline. Most explanations refer to gender biases and stereotypes, motherhood, discrimination, and tokenism.
