Estimating National and Foreign Trade Elasticities Using Generalized Transport Costs

Journal of Regional Science, Volume 65, Issue 2, Page 471-496, March 2025.
ABSTRACT We introduce the definition of two distinct trade elasticities corresponding to imports from regions located in the same country (national elasticities) and foreign regions located in other countries (foreign elasticities).

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Gastric Motility in Conscious Rats

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
By training rats to remain awake inside an MRI scanner, we can now noninvasively scan their gastrointestinal tracts without using anesthesia. This allows us to assess gastric motility and emptying in conscious rats without the various confounding effects that anesthesia might cause.
