Seasonal allergies affect over 400 million people globally, yet the broader economic consequences of pollen exposure remain understudied. Evidence from Japan's ambulance records suggests that high-pollen days are associated with increases in accidents, including traffic accidents and...

Rational choice theories assume that voters accurately assess the outcomes of policies. However, many important policies—such as regulating prices and introducing Pigouvian taxation—yield outcomes through indirect or equilibrium effects that may differ from their direct effects. Citizens may...

However, many important policies - such as regulating prices and introducing Pigouvian taxation - yield outcomes through indirect or equilibrium effects that may differ from their direct effects.

Story telling is part of life, and the retelling of stories is an important form of communication, cultural practice, and message transmission. Insufficient sleep is known to affect relevant cognitive skill areas necessary for story retelling or transmission fidelity. We conducted a...

This study provides novel evidence on the isolated effect of carbon dioxide on cognition, economic decision-making, and the physiological response in healthy office workers. The experiment took place in an air-tight respiration chamber fully controlling the environmental conditions. In a...

Given the critical role of neurocognitive development in early life, this study assesses how racial differences in early-life circumstances are collectively and individually associated with racial disparities in late-life cognition. Leveraging uniquely rich information on life history from the...

Disparities in cognition persist between non-Hispanic Black (hereafter, Black) and non-Hispanic White (hereafter, White) older adults, and are possibly influenced by early educational differences stemming from structural racism. However, the relationship between school racial segregation and...

Neuromarketing, an emerging subject and generating diverse body of knowledge in the extant literature, this study aims to present qualitative and quantitative knowledge of the neuroscientific domain by analysing the application of various neuromarketing tools and techniques in conducting the...

Entrepreneurship helps to mainstream the disadvantaged. In order to design policy for the promotion of entrepreneurship among disadvantaged people a proper understanding of entrepreneurship is imperative and cognition has been considered as the best interpreter of entrepreneurship. This study...

Disparities in cognition persist between non-Hispanic Black (hereafter, Black) and non-Hispanic White (hereafter, White) older adults, and are possibly influenced by early educational differences stemming from structural racism. However, the relationship between school racial segregation and...

We study the relative effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and interaction of family- and schoolbased learning interventions using a randomized controlled trial in Colombia that assigns children to a parental engagement program, a teacher professional development program, both, or a control group....

Welche neuen und bislang wenig beachteten Themen werden die Unternehmenskommunikation in Zukunft prägen? Der Communication Management Radar 2026 identifiziert interdisziplinäre Phänomene in Management, Technologie, Psychologie und Medien, die sich gerade konkretisieren und in naher Zukunft zu...

This study investigates how cognitive traits and support mechanisms influence entrepreneurial propensity across diverse economic contexts, with a focus on implications for entrepreneurship education. It examines whether creativity and critical thinking function as broadly relevant predictors of...

This research explores how the information technology capabilities of board directors contribute to firm performance. Using a multisectoral sample of 3752 observations from 2008 to 2021, comprising 268 companies listed in the S&P 500 index, a discontinuous growth model was applied to analyze...

We use population-level administrative data covering secondary school students in England to study how mathematical and verbal skills shape education and labour market outcomes. Following cohorts completing national exams at age 16 through higher education and into employment until age 34, we...

This study offers a descriptive analysis of complex thinking as a form of cognitive competency among a group of 52 public servants holding local leadership positions in the Philippines. By extending the empirical examination of complex thinking beyond educational contexts and into local public...

We estimate the effect of neighborhood disorder on dementia risk among middle-aged and older adults in the United States and identify cardiometabolic dysregulation as a mediating biological pathway. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS, 2006-2020), we show that exposure to...

We report the results of over 30 experiments to study the elasticity of economic decisions with respect to fundamentals. Our experiments cover a broad range of domains, from choice and valuation to belief formation, from strategic games to generic optimization problems, involving investment,...

Most news stories contain both granular quantitative information and coarse categorizations. For instance, company earnings are reported as a dollar figure alongside categorizations, such as whether earnings beat or missed market expectations. We formalize and study the hypothesis that when a...

In this paper, we investigate how an automated home energy management system (AHEMS), operated through a new app can help consumers optimize their decisions. Optimizing self-consumption is a complex task for prosumers, i.e., households that produce, consume, and sell electricity to the grid,...

China's One-Child Policy (OCP) restricted most couples to a single birth, leading to a rapid increase in the prevalence of only children. Using longitudinal data and a regression discontinuity design around the policy's start, we estimate the effects on grandchildren's human capital. We find...
