Here, we report a new di(hydroxyphenyl)imidazolate ligand with an N2O2 donor set synthesized by modified Debus–Radziszewski procedure. Its binuclear nickel(II) complexes feature weak antiferromagnetic interaction J12 = −3.16 cm−1 between the two ions identified magnetometry measurements. As follows from cyclic voltammetry experiments and DFT calculations, they undergo ligand-centered oxidation ...

We construct a time series of college attendance patterns for the United States and document reversal: family background was better predictor before World War II, but academic ability afterward. model choice that explains this reversal. The model’s central mechanism is an exogenous surge leads colleges to be oversubscribed, institute selective admissions, raise their quality relative peers, as ...

This paper presents the ®rst attempts by economists to estimate a random utility maximisation model for the choice of desired involvement level in heterosexual relationships. A sample of newspaper `personal' advertisements is used to estimate a multinomial logit. Age is found to reduce the net probabiblity of seeking a casual relationship.

The consisted history political economy, starting with ideas French Physiocrats, and its further development Adam Smith David Ricardo. intended as an introduction to 1960 book. concludes brief discussion ‘central propositions’ book, seen rigorous theore...

We estimate long-run intergenerational persistence in human capital using information on outcomes for the extended family: dynasty. A dataset including entire Swedish population, linking four generations, allows us to identify parents’ siblings and cousins, their spouses, spouses’ siblings. Using various measures, we show that traditional parent-child estimates underestimate by at least one-thi...
