In praise of ambidexterity: How a continuum of handedness predicts social adjustment

Denny, Kevin; Zhang, Wen - School of Economics, University College Dublin - 2010

This paper estimates the relationship between handedness and social adjustment. In addition to binary measures of hand preference, we also use a continuous measure of hand skill. Outcomes at ages 7, 11 and 16 are studied. Using a semi-parametric estimator it is shown that non-righthandedness (as...

Cognitive ability and continuous measures of relative hand-skill : a note

Denny, Kevin - School of Economics, University College Dublin - 2008

The economic consequences of being left-handed : some sinister results

Denny, Kevin - School of Economics, University College Dublin - 2004

This paper provides the first estimates of the effects of handedness on hourly earnings. Augmenting a conventional earnings equation with an indicator of left handedness shows there is a well determined positive effect on male earnings with non-manual workers enjoying a slightly larger premium....
