Assessing the Effectiveness of Workers' Selection Exams: The Case of the Bank of Italy

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐stakes exams can be used to rank and select candidates for job openings, and the ability of those selected hinges on the design of the exam. I propose a method to model candidates' performance to assess how effective the exam is at selecting high‐ability candidates.

CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Identifying Hydrological Drivers of Surface Water Extent in Endorheic and Exorheic Basins over the Mu Us Sandy Land

Remote Sensing
Surface water extent (SWE) is a key indicator of the regional water balance in dryland environments. However, the hydrological processes regulating SWE responses remain poorly constrained.

Trade Reform in Services: Structural Change and Production Networks

Review of International Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the effects of services trade reforms in a multi‐country multi‐sector quantitative trade model with input–output linkages. Services matter both as final consumption and as production inputs: cheaper traded services lower household prices directly and reduce the costs of downstream producers also indirectly.

The Relationship Between Welfare and Capital Controls

Social Policy &Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the relationship between welfare state and capital flow management. Complementing the literature on the implications of financial globalization for social protection, we argue that the coverage and priorities of welfare states matter more than the amount of spending when it comes to the degree of capital account ...
