Rise of the south: How Arab‐led maritime trade transformed China, 671–1371 CE
Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 3-38, March 2025.Abstract China's center of socioeconomic activities was in the North prior to the Tang dynasty but is in the South today. We demonstrate that Arab and Persian Muslim traders triggered that transition when they came to China in the late seventh century, by lifting maritime trade along the South Coast and re‐creating the South.

The Influence of Heterogeneous Meninges on the Brain Mechanics under Primary Blast Loading [PDF]
, 2012 In the modeling of brain mechanics subjected to primary blast waves, there is currently no consensus on how many biological components to be used in the brain–meninges–skull complex, and what type of constitutive models to be adopted.

American Ethnologist, EarlyView.Abstract An anthropology of horror can serve as a vernacular critique of financial speculation. Drawing on fieldwork in San Pedro, Paraguay, I track horror across three registers: pombero tricksters; plata yvyguy (buried money) as a founding myth of postwar finance; and obligations binding sesame farmers to monsters, patrones, and creditors.

Deindustrialization and demographic change: Evidence from big plant closures and downsizing
Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.Abstract We estimate the causal effect of big manufacturing plant closures and downsizing on the socioeconomic composition of Canadian cities between 2001 and 2021. Our instrumental variables estimates show that big manufacturing plant closures and downsizing—large local labour demand shocks—lead to less population growth and a shift in the demographic

Volatility ≠ Risk: When Timing Alpha in Crypto Markets Reflects Mispricing
Financial Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Volatility timing in cryptocurrency markets generates significant alpha, but only during periods of loose monetary policy and high uncertainty. Analyzing S&P crypto indices (2017–2023) dominated by large‐cap assets, we show realized volatility can reflect noise‐driven speculative flows, not risk compensation. This effect is strongest for small‐

The Dynamics of Gender Norms and Fertility Decline
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper models fertility as the outcome of gender‐biased technological progress interacting with endogenous social norms governing childcare. When rising female wages outpace norm adjustment, the inherited norm makes reallocating childcare toward fathers costly, so mothers bear a disproportionate burden and the shadow price of children ...

A Horse Race of Machine‐Learning Methods to Predict Banking Crises
International Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To examine if one machine‐learning model can consistently elucidate financial vulnerabilities, both over time and across levels of development, this paper applies 13 machine‐learning algorithms to evaluate comparative forecasting performance across several banking crises.

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.Abstract We evaluate whether deposit insurance (DI) promotes liquidity by influencing depositor behavior. We use the postal savings (PS) system and state‐adopted DI schemes during the 1920s to examine the effect of bank suspensions on PS deposit growth in pairs of border cities (DI versus non‐DI).
