Air Pollution and Criminal Activity: Microgeographic Evidence from Chicago
American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2021 A growing literature documents that air pollution adversely impacts health, productivity, and cognition. This paper provides the first evidence of a causal link between air pollution and aggressive behavior, as documented by violent crime.

Observation of hypersonic phononic crystal effects in porous silicon superlattices [PDF]
, 2009 Brillouin light scattering experiments were carried out on porous silicon superlattices with modulation wavelengths in the range 37–167 nm. Phonon frequencies deduced from the Brillouin spectra show good agreement with those obtained from an elastic ...

The Social Costs of Keystone Species Collapse: Evidence from the Decline of Vultures in India
Social Science Research NetworkScientific evidence has documented we are undergoing a mass extinction of species, caused by human activity. However, allocating conservation resources is difficult due to scarce evidence on damages from losing individual species.

The motion of a deformable drop in a second-order fluid [PDF]
, 1979 The cross-stream migration of a deformable drop in a unidirectional shear flow of a second-order fluid is considered. Expressions for the particle velocity due to the separate effects of deformation and viscoelastic rheology are obtained.

The Local Economic and Welfare Consequences of Hydraulic Fracturing
American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2017 Exploiting geological variation and timing in the initiation of hydraulic fracturing, we find that fracking leads to sharp increases in oil and gas recovery and improvements in a wide set of economic indicators. There is also evidence of deterioration in
