Cyclo(RGDfK) Functionalized Spider Silk Cell Scaffolds: Significantly Improved Performance in Just One Click (2020)
Journal Article
Harvey, D., Bray, G., Zamberlan, F., Amer, M., Goodacre, S. L., & Thomas, N. R. (2020). Cyclo(RGDfK) Functionalized Spider Silk Cell Scaffolds: Significantly Improved Performance in Just One Click. Macromolecular Bioscience, https://doi.org/10.1002/mabi.202000255

Recombinant spider silk has the potential to provide a new generation of biomaterial scaffolds as a result of its degree of biocompatibility and lack of immunogenicity. These recombinant biomaterials are, however, reported to exhibit poor cellular ad...

Monetary Policy, Credit Markets, and Banks: A DSGE Perspective (2020)
Journal Article
Rubio, M. (2020). Monetary Policy, Credit Markets, and Banks: A DSGE Perspective. Economics Letters, 195, Article 109481. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.econlet.2020.109481

The monetary policy transmission mechanism changed after the 2008 crisis. Evidence shows that credit markets and the banking system play now a predominant role in the pass-through of monetary policy to the real economy. This paper examines the moneta...

Optimal similarity judgments in intertemporal choice (and beyond) (2020)
Journal Article
Adriani, F., & Sonderegger, S. (2020). Optimal similarity judgments in intertemporal choice (and beyond). Journal of Economic Theory, 190, Article 105097. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jet.2020.105097

We use a simple cost-benefit analysis to derive optimal similarity judgments – addressing the question: when should we expect a decision maker to distinguish between different time periods or different prizes? Our key premise is that cognitive resour... Read More about Optimal similarity judgments in intertemporal choice (and beyond).

Collective management of an environmental threat when exposure is heterogeneous: A complementary methods approach (2020)
Journal Article
Barr, A., Owens, T., & Perera, A. (2020). Collective management of an environmental threat when exposure is heterogeneous: A complementary methods approach. World Development, 135, Article 105078. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.worlddev.2020.105078

We adopt a complementary methods approach to investigate whether and how heterogeneity in individual returns to a public good affects public good provision. We engage smallholder farmers in Sri Lanka in: a one-shot, framed, lab-in-the-field experimen...

Labor Responses, Regulation and Business Churn (2020)
Journal Article
Aloi, M., Dixon, H., & Savagar, A. (2021). Labor Responses, Regulation and Business Churn. Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, 53(1), 119-156. https://doi.org/10.1111/jmcb.12694

We develop a model of sluggish firm entry to explain short-run labor responses to technology shocks. We show that the labor response to technology and its persistence depend on the degree of returns to labor and the rate of firm entry. Existing empir...

Inflation targeting in low‐income countries: Does IT work? (2020)
Journal Article
Morozumi, A., Bleaney, M., & Mumuni, Z. (2020). Inflation targeting in low‐income countries: Does IT work?. Review of Development Economics, 24(4), 1529-1550. https://doi.org/10.1111/rode.12690

Previous research on inflation targeting (IT) has focused on high‐income countries and emerging market economies (EMEs). Only recently have sufficient data accumulated for the performance of IT in low‐income countries (LICs) to be assessed. We show t...

The differential impact of friendship on cooperative and competitive coordination (2020)
Journal Article
Chierchia, G., Tufano, F., & Coricelli, G. (2020). The differential impact of friendship on cooperative and competitive coordination. Theory and Decision, 89(4), 423-452. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11238-020-09763-3

Friendship is commonly assumed to reduce strategic uncertainty and enhance tacit coordination. However, this assumption has never been tested across two opposite poles of coordination involving either strategic complementarity or substitutability. We...

Real‐Time Detection of Regimes of Predictability in the U.S. Equity Premium (2020)
Journal Article
Harvey, D. I., Leybourne, S. J., Sollis, R., & Taylor, A. R. (2021). Real‐Time Detection of Regimes of Predictability in the U.S. Equity Premium. Journal of Applied Econometrics, 36(1), 45-70. https://doi.org/10.1002/jae.2794

We propose new real-time monitoring procedures for the emergence of end-of-sample predictive regimes using sequential implementations of standard (heteroskedasticity-robust) regression t-statistics for predictability applied over relatively short tim...

Demand-driven Technical Change and Productivity Growth: Theory and Evidence from the Energy Policy Act (2020)
Journal Article
Impullitti, G., Kneller, R., & McGowan, D. (2020). Demand-driven Technical Change and Productivity Growth: Theory and Evidence from the Energy Policy Act. Journal of Industrial Economics, 68(2), 328-363. https://doi.org/10.1111/joie.12231

We present novel evidence on the effect of market size on technology adoption and productivity. Our tests exploit a natural experiment in the US corn industry where changes to national energy policy created exogenous increases in demand. Difference-i...
