University Students’ Notion of Autism Spectrum Conditions: A Cross-Cultural Study (2020)
Journal Article

Cultural background might influence knowledge and attitudes regarding autism, influencing willingness to interact. We studied whether beliefs, knowledge, contact, and attitude differed between the UK and Malaysia. With mediation analyses, we studied...

Write better, publish better (2020)
Journal Article

There is evidence that having more readable abstracts and introductions help authors get cited. I show that, in economics, there is also an effect of readability on the probability of publishing in a Top 5 journal (and in a higher-ranked journal in g...

How Hard Is It to Maximize Profit? Evidence from a 19th century Italian State Monopoly (2020)
Journal Article

In this paper we study the ability of the 19th century Italian government to choose profit maximizing prices for a multiproduct monopolist. We use very detailed historical data on the tobacco consumption in 62 Italian provinces from 1871 to 1888 to e... Read More about How Hard Is It to Maximize Profit? Evidence from a 19th century Italian State Monopoly.

X-ray microtomography analysis of soil pore structure dynamics under wetting and drying cycles (2020)
Journal Article

The soil water retention curve is one of the most important properties used to predict the amount of water available to plants, pore size distribution and hydraulic conductivity, as well as knowledge for drainage and irrigation modeling. Depending on... Read More about X-ray microtomography analysis of soil pore structure dynamics under wetting and drying cycles.
