We analyse the time evolution of empirical cross-sectional distribution firms’ profit and growth rates. In particular, we conditional properties distributions depending on size firms business cycle phase. order to do so, employ Laplace as a benchmark, further considering Subbotin Asymmetric Exponential Power (AEP hereafter) distributions, capture potential asymmetry leptokurtosis distribution. ...

Craniofacial asymmetry is a convergent trait widely distributed across animals that colonize the extreme cave environment. Although craniofacial asymmetry can be discerned easily, other complex phenotypes (such as sensory organ position and numerical variation) are challenging to score and compare. Certain bones of the craniofacial complex demonstrate substantial asymmetry, and co-localize to r...
