Environmental and energy gains from using molten magnesium-sodium-potassium chlorides for electro-metallisation of refractory metal oxides (2015)
Journal Article
Li, W., Yuan, Y., Jin, X., Chen, H., & Chen, G. Z. (2015). Environmental and energy gains from using molten magnesium-sodium-potassium chlorides for electro-metallisation of refractory metal oxides. Progress in Natural Science, 25(6), 650-653. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pnsc.2015.11.002

© 2015 The Authors. The molten eutectic mixture of magnesium, sodium and potassium chlorides (MgCl2-NaCl-KCl) has inappreciable solubility for oxide ions, and can help disengage a carbon anode from the oxide ions generated at a metal oxide cathode, a...

Short and long-term interest rates and the effectiveness of monetary and macroprudential policies (2015)
Journal Article
Rubio, M. (2016). Short and long-term interest rates and the effectiveness of monetary and macroprudential policies. Journal of Macroeconomics, 47A, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmacro.2015.09.007

In this paper, I analyze the ability of monetary and macroprudential policies to stabilize both the macroeconomy and financial markets under two different scenarios: short and long-term rates. I develop and solve a New Keynesian dynamic stochastic ge... Read More about Short and long-term interest rates and the effectiveness of monetary and macroprudential policies.

Strategic and natural risk in entrepreneurship: an experimental study (2015)
Journal Article
Morgan, J., Orzen, H., Sefton, M., & Sisak, D. (2016). Strategic and natural risk in entrepreneurship: an experimental study. Journal of Economics and Management Strategy, 25(2), https://doi.org/10.1111/jems.12140

We report on the results of experiments where participants choose between entrepreneurship and an outside option. Entrepreneurs enter a market and then make investment decisions to capture value. Payoffs depend on both strategic risk (i.e. the invest... Read More about Strategic and natural risk in entrepreneurship: an experimental study.

A model of firm heterogeneity in factor intensities and international trade (2015)
Journal Article
Emami Namini, J., Facchini, G., & López, R. (2015). A model of firm heterogeneity in factor intensities and international trade. Canadian Journal of Economics / Revue Canadienne d'Économique, 48(4), 1456-1480. https://doi.org/10.1111/caje.12150

Empirical evidence suggests that exporters – besides being more productive – are significantly more skilled labor intensive than non–exporters. In a setting which captures both these features, we show that the firm selection induced by trade liberali...

Globalization and wage polarization (2015)
Journal Article
Cozzi, G., & Impullitti, G. (in press). Globalization and wage polarization. Review of Economics and Statistics, 98(5), https://doi.org/10.1162/REST_a_00551

In the 1980s and 1990s, the US labour market experiences a remarkable polarization along with fast technological catch-up, as Europe and Japan improve their global innovation performance. Is foreign technological convergence an important source of wa... Read More about Globalization and wage polarization.

Imported inputs and invoicing currency choice: theory and evidence from UK transaction data (2015)
Journal Article
Chung, W. (2016). Imported inputs and invoicing currency choice: theory and evidence from UK transaction data. Journal of International Economics, 98, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jinteco.2015.11.003

A significant proportion of international trade is in intermediate goods. This paper considers theoretically and empirically how exporters' dependence on imported inputs affects their choice of invoicing currency. The model predicts that exporters th...

Global innovation races, offshoring and wage inequality (2015)
Journal Article
Impullitti, G. (2016). Global innovation races, offshoring and wage inequality. Review of International Economics, 24(1), 171-202. https://doi.org/10.1111/roie.12202

In the 1970s and 1980s the US position as the global technological leader was increasingly challenged by Japan and Europe. In those years the US skill premium and residual wage inequality increased substantially. This paper presents a two-region qual...

Multiple mortality modeling in Poisson Lee–Carter framework (2015)
Journal Article
D'Amato, V., Haberman, S., Piscopo, G., Russolillo, M., & Trapani, L. (2016). Multiple mortality modeling in Poisson Lee–Carter framework. Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 45(6), 1723-1732. https://doi.org/10.1080/03610926.2014.960580

The academic literature in longevity field has recently focused on models for detecting multiple population trends (D'Amato et al., 2012b D'Amato, V., Haberman, S., Piscopo, G., Russolillo, M., Trapani, L. (2012b). Detecting longevity common trends b... Read More about Multiple mortality modeling in Poisson Lee–Carter framework.

Human cooperation in groups: variation begets variation (2015)
Journal Article
Berg, P. V. D., Molleman, L., Junikka, J., Puurtinen, M., & Weissing, F. J. (2015). Human cooperation in groups: variation begets variation. Scientific Reports, 5, Article 16144. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep16144

Many experiments on human cooperation have revealed that individuals differ systematically in their tendency to cooperate with others. It has also been shown that individuals condition their behaviour on the overall cooperation level of their peers.... Read More about Human cooperation in groups: variation begets variation.
