What causes professionals in organizations to practice differently in similar situations? This paper studies practice variation in team decisions, among physicians trainees, who frequently switch teams and are randomly assigned patients. I identify the effect of relative experience on influence in team decisions by a discontinuity in relative experience across the one-year tenure mark. The infl...

After an expansionary monetary policy shock employment increases and unemployment falls. In standard New Keynesian models the fall in aggregate unemployment does not a¤ect employed workers at all. However, Lüchinger, Meier and Stutzer (2010) found that the risk of unemployment negatively a¤ects utility of employed workers: An increases in aggregate unemployment decreases workers’subjective well...

BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the leading cause of suicidal behaviors. Risk related to suicide attempts among individuals with MDD remains uninvestigated in upper northern Thailand, where the completed suicide rate is the highest in the nation. OBJECTIVE To examine risk related to suicide attempts among individuals with MDD. METHODS Individuals diagnosed with MDD using the I...

Background: Present educational system is most competitive and lesser opportunities in educational institutes and services later on. High expectations of family and future insecurities among students force them to take pressure of competitive exams beyond their compromised abilities by various factors. It leads to psychiatric problems among students at very young age. Aim: To study psychiatric ...

We investigated the in vivo effects of a glucocorticoid on fJagonist-induced downregulation of j31and .82-adrenergic receptors (determined by ["lI] iodocyanopindolol binding), mRNA expression (assessed by Northern blotting), and gene transcription (using nuclear run-on assays) in rat lung. Dexamethasone (Dex) (0.2 mg/kg/d, days 1-8) increased 181and ,82-receptor numbers by 70 and 69% above cont...

BACKGROUND Data linkage studies find that depression before or after a breast cancer diagnosis predicts reduced survival. This study aimed to determine whether depression or bipolar recorded in routine hospital admission data independently predicts survival in English breast cancer patients and whether onset in relation to cancer diagnosis is significant. METHODS Data on 77,173 women diagnose...

Nonlinear quasigeostrophic flows in two layers over a topographic slope are considered. Scaling the lower layer potential vorticity equation yields two parameters which indicate the degree of nonlinearity in the lower layer. The first, u' (the strength of the deep flow divided by the product of the effective bottom slope and the squared length scale), is related to the advection of relative vor...

This chapter is structured in three parts. The first part outlines the methodological steps, involving both theoretical and empirical work, for assessing whether an observed allocation of resources across countries is efficient. The second part applies the methodology to the long-run allocation of capital and consumption in a large cross section of countries. We find that countries that grow fa...

BACKGROUND In this study we wished to determine the diagnostic accuracy of unaided general practitioners' (GPs') clinical diagnosis in the evaluation of depression in depressed patients under their care compared with the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II). SUBJECTS AND METHODS From 17,000 patients in 10 GPs' offices as representative sample in the city of Zagreb, 5100 patients from three G...
