Despite increasing research in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), there are few studies showing the impact of the poor glycemic control on biological processes occurring in T2D. In order to identify potential genes related to poorly/well-controlled patients with T2D, our strategy of investigation included a primary screen by microarray (Human Genome U133) in a small group of individuals followed b...

We investigate the importance of heterogeneity using random-assignment data from Connecticut’s Jobs First waiver, which features key elements of post-1996 welfare programs. Estimated quantile treatment effects...
