As work organizations become increasingly gender diverse, existing theoretical models have failed to explain why such diversity can have a negative impact on idea generation. Using evidence from two group experiments, this paper tests theory on the effects of imposing a political correctness (PC) norm, one that sets clear expectations for how men and women should interact, on reducing interacti...

This paper studies the political economy of fertility. Specifically, I argue that fertility may be a strategic choice for ethnic groups engaged in redistributive conflict. I first present a simple conflict model where high fertility is optimal for each ethnic group if and only if the economy’s ethnic diversity is high and/or institutions are weak. I then test the model in a cross-national datas...

Sports can contain events that occur too quickly to be captured by 25 frames-per-second video. An audio signal, sampled at a much higher temporal rate, provides a way to detect events over a shorter timescale. However, there are complications such as noise, echoes and latencies. Nevertheless, we have found statistical evidence that could allow an audio-based stroke detector to predict future ev...

BACKGROUND Ecological and cross-sectional studies have indicated that conservative political ideology is associated with better health. Longitudinal analyses of mortality are needed because subjective assessments of ideology may confound subjective assessments of health, particularly in cross-sectional analyses.
