Marriage, Wealth, and the Spread of Cohabitation in Canada

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research demonstrates a robust link between marriage and wealth. Wealth facilitates marriage, which then fosters wealth accumulation, resulting in significant net worth disparities between married and cohabiting couples. Does the decline of marriage and growth of cohabitation alter this relationship?

Beyond the next step: A multi‐criteria generative validation framework for step selection functions

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Step‐selection functions (SSFs), typically fitted using step‐selection analysis (SSA) or integrated step‐selection analysis (iSSA) are widely used to infer habitat selection and movement kernels from high‐frequency telemetry data, but most standard validation tools focus on one‐step‐ahead prediction and do not guarantee that fitted models ...

Allocative efficiency and the productivity slowdown

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper evaluates the contribution of cross‐sector allocative efficiency to the productivity slowdown in the US during the 1970s and 2000s. We extend the framework of Oberfield (2013) to derive sufficient statistics for allocative efficiency and decompose aggregate productivity growth in a multisector economy.

Invariance principles for random walks conditioned to stay positive [PDF]

, 2008
Let $\{S_n\}$ be a random walk in the domain of attraction of a stable law $\mathcal{Y}$, i.e. there exists a sequence of positive real numbers $(a_n)$ such that $S_n/a_n$ converges in law to $\mathcal{Y}$.

Effects of parachute science on local research capacity 降落伞科学对当地研究能力的影响

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Strengthening research capacity is essential to address the global biodiversity crisis. Yet, parachute science often undermines this goal, and its prevalence, costs, and benefits are unclear. We analyzed 13,502 publications on primate research that we extracted from Scopus (1960–2022) to evaluate the effects of parachute science on local ...

A series of (un)fortunate events: Commercial bank interest rates and deposit reallocation during the Great Depression in the Netherlands

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract During the global economic crisis of 1929–33, deposits in the Dutch commercial banking sector sharply declined as funds shifted to the government‐guaranteed Post Office Savings Bank and other savings institutions. Unlike earlier studies for neighbouring countries, we demonstrate that this shift was driven less by a flight to safety and more by

Abnormal cleavage patterns in equine in vitro‐produced embryos lead to higher early pregnancy loss

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Background Despite significant advances, in vitro production (IVP) of equine embryos continues to lack standardised embryo classification criteria and is associated with increased rates of early pregnancy loss compared with in vivo‐derived blastocysts.
