Unequal hiring wages and their impact on the gender pay gap
Abstract Payroll data from Great Britain reveal that men are paid more than women upon entry into firms. Although this hiring wage gap has narrowed over the past two decades, it still accounts for over two‐thirds of the steady‐state gender pay gap—the wage gap that would eventually prevail under constant employment levels.

Success and failure in England's patent system: New evidence from patent applications, 1783–1834
Abstract Our understanding of the relationship between the English patent system and technical change during the industrial revolution is based entirely on the study of successful patents. We address this feature by providing the first study of unsuccessful patent applications in England during the first industrial revolution.

Three closed forms for convolved Fibonacci numbers
In the paper, by virtue of the Faà di Bruno formula and several properties of the Bell polynomials of the second kind, the author computes higher order derivatives of the generating function of convolved Fibonacci numbers and, consequently, derives three

Abstract Focusing on women entrepreneurs in a large British city, we examine how women's commercially listed businesses populated that city. Using commercial property rental records, our study allows us to understand sectoral variation and the distribution of businesses across the city and to assess both the absolute and relative contribution of women ...

Strong Asymptotics of the Generating Polynomials of the Stirling Numbers of the Second Kind
Let \(Q_n(z) = \sum_{k=1}^n S(n,k) (nz)^k,\) where \(S(n,k)\) is the Stirling number of the second kind. The author proves an asymptotic formula for \(Q_n(z)\) with \(z \in {\mathbf C}\backslash[-e,0]\) and proves an Airy-asymptotic formula for \(Q_n\) as \(z \to -e\).

Appraisal of Six Natural Mica Reference Materials for In Situ Rb‐Sr Geochronology
Key Points Evaluated six natural mica reference materials for in situ LA‐ICP‐MS/MS Rb‐Sr geochronology using geochemical, microstructural and isotopic characterisation. Identified robust primary reference materials: Mount Dromedary biotite (99.37 Ma) and Mica‐Fe biotite (307.75 Ma). La Posta biotite and Högsbo muscovite are suitable secondary reference

Before It Was ‘New’: A Neglected History of Lived Experience–Led Criminal Justice
ABSTRACT A growing range of criminal justice initiatives are being shaped and delivered by people with lived experience, including peer mentoring, prisoner councils and policy advocacy roles. While often seen as recent innovations, we reveal a deeper, largely unacknowledged history dating back to at least the 19th century.
