Asymmetric Information With Multiple Risks: The Case of the Chilean Private Health Insurance Market

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We extend the Rothshild and Stiglitz (1976) model to two sources of risk –inpatient and outpatient risk– to better proxy real‐world health insurance markets. We uncover an interesting theoretical possibility: Take individuals A and B, who are low risks in, say, the inpatient dimension but A is riskier in the outpatient dimension.

Reducing response bias in reports of trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder: An application of the nonverbal response card in a survey of youth in Burkina Faso

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract Response bias for sensitive questions in face‐to‐face interviewer‐administered surveys is a common problem. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the nonverbal response card (NVRC) in soliciting responses to questions about lifetime trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms.

Enhancing Soil Aggregation and Water Retention by Applying Kaolinite Clay to Post‐Tin‐Mined Land on Belitung Island, Indonesia

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐mining sandy soils have low water retention, which causes soil particle separation and persistent soil erosion. Although organic matter is commonly used for soil restoration, it is lightweight, washes away during heavy rain, and decomposes under strong sunlight.

Optimizing Rice Yield and Heat Stress Resilience Through Nitrogen Top Dressing Before Panicle Emergence

Nitrogen
The increased frequency of extreme heat stress events due to climate change is adversely impacting rice yield. Nitrogen (N) is an essential element in the synthesis of chlorophyll in rice, contributing substantially to the achievement of spikelet ...

Dissecting the Genetic Basis of Lateral and Central Spikelet Development and Grain Traits in Intermedium-Spike Barley (Hordeum vulgare Convar. Intermedium)

Plants, 2020
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the major grain crops worldwide and considered as a model plant for temperate cereals. One of the barley row-type groups, named intermedium-barley, was used in our previous study where we reported that other genetic ...

Analysis of the Maize dicer-like1 Mutant, fuzzy tassel, Implicates MicroRNAs in Anther Maturation and Dehiscence [PDF]

, 2016
Sexual reproduction in plants requires development of haploid gametophytes from somatic tissues. Pollen is the male gametophyte and develops within the stamen; defects in the somatic tissues of the stamen and in the male gametophyte itself can result in ...
