Job choice by high-skilled foreign-born workers in the US correlates strongly with country of origin. We apply a Frechet-Roy model of occupational choice to evaluate the causes of immigrant sorting. In a gravity specification, we find that revealed comparative advantage in the US is stronger for...

Would Lehman Sisters have saved the financial industry from the 2008 financial crises? We provide the first empirical test of this hypothesis by investigating how female executives impact bank risk-taking using US bank panel data from 2002 to 2010. Controlling for a wide range of factors...

Bacterial infections pose a serious threat to public health. It is therefore essential to develop systems with effective antibacterial properties. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of materials which are considered promising for applications due to several properties, such as large...

We hypothesized that statistical analyses could be used to quantitate the effect of secondary fermentation on the sensory characteristics of sparkling ciders. We used champagne yeast and cider yeast strains to elaborate sparkling cider by the traditional method that is commonly used to produce...
