This paper studies the effects of adding criminal offenders to a DNA database. Using large expansion Denmark’s database, we find that registration reduces recidivism within following year by up 42 percent. It also increases probability are identified if they recidivate, which use estimate elasticity crime with respect detection and 1 percent higher more than 2 We likelihood employment, enroll i...

Bertrand, Kamenica, and Pan (2015) document that in the United States there is a discontinuity to right of 0.5 distribution households according female share total earnings, which they attribute existence gender identity norm. We provide an alternative explanation for this discontinuity. Using linked employer-employee data from Finland, we show emerges as result equalization convergence earning...

Introduction and Aim: Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have emerged at an alarming rate. Multi locus sequence typing (MLST) is important parameter for identifying drug resistant organisms. The present study was carried out elucidating the mechanisms of CRE MLSTs associated with CRE. Materials Methods: (n=14) were obtained from various clinical samples subjected to Rapidec Carba NP ...

We introduce social capital accumulation into a neoclassical model, showing how it differs from physical and human capital accumulation. We take the view that social capital is crucial to the enjoyment of socially provided goods and that it is mainly accumulated by means of participation to social activities. Under-investment in social capital may lead a growing economy to fall into a social po...

The Supply of Child Labour The paper develops a theoretical framework, and a diagrammatic apparatus, for explaining the supply of child labour. It examines the effect of credit, insurance, and poverty (defined as more than just low income). It also explains bonded child labour, a modern form of slavery closely associated with the worst forms of child exploitation. The analysis is positive, but ...

We show that measurement error in the constructed price of child care can explain why previous Australian studies have found partnered women’s labour supply to be unresponsive to child care prices. Through improved data and improved construction of the child care price variable, we find child care price elasticities that are statistically significant, negative and in line with elasticities foun...

We show that a calibrated life cycle two-earner household model with endogenous labor supply can rationalize the extent of consumption insurance against shocks to male and female wages, as estimated empirically by Blundell, Pistaferri, Saporta-Eksten (2016) in US data. In model, 35 percent 18 permanent wage pass through consumption, compared empirical estimates 32 19 percent. Most is provided p...

This paper uses job seekers’ elicited beliefs about finding to disentangle the sources of decline in job-finding rates by duration unemployment. We document that have strong predictive power for finding, but are not revised downward when remaining unemployed and subject optimistic bias, especially long-term unemployed. Leveraging beliefs, we find substantial heterogeneity with resulting dynamic...

We assess South African workseekers’ skills and disseminate the assessment results to explore how limited information affects firm workseeker behavior. Giving workseekers that they can credibly share with firms increases employment earnings better aligns their skills, beliefs search strategies. cannot easily has similar effects on search, but smaller earnings. only shifts interview decisions. T...

For complex oligosaccharides, which are relatively rigid with modest excursions from a single minimum energy conformation, it is straightforward to build conformational models from NOE data. Other oligosaccharides are more flexible with transitions between distinct minima separated by substantial energy barriers. We show that modeling based on scalar coupling data is superior to NOE-based model...
