On sampling SCJ rearrangement scenarios
The Single Cut or Join (SCJ) operation on genomes, generalizing chromosome evolution by fusions and fissions, is the computationally simplest known model of genome rearrangement. While most genome rearrangement problems are already hard when comparing three genomes, it is possible to compute in polynomial time a most parsimonious SCJ scenario for an arbitrary number of genomes related by a bina...

This paper uses exceptionally rich data on Swedish corporate executives and their personal characteristics to study gender gaps in CEO appointments and pay.

متن کاملApproval of Equal Rights and Gender Differences in Well-Being
Women earn less than men but are not less satisfied with life. This paper argues that norms on the appropriate pay for women compared to men explain these findings. We take citizens’ approval of an equal rights amendment to the Swiss constitution as a proxy for the norm that “women and men shall have the right to equal pay for work of equal value”. We find that the gender wage gap narrows by on...
