Has falling crime invited gentrification?

It’s Prices, Stupid: Explaining falling crime in the UK

o We further analyse a sub-set of commodity-related goods jewellery, fuel and metals. These goods offer a clean quasi-experimental setting to look at the effects of a pure change in price on criminal activity. Specifically, they are homogenous in their quality and supported by efficient resale markets (for example, the scrap metal recycling industry). Price changes for these goods are also exog...

Has Psychiatric Medication Reduced Crime and Delinquency?

Estimates suggest that medication usage has increased to as much as 9% of the youth population and up to 20% of the adult population in the United States and is high among populations associated with the criminal justice system. Studies show that fo...

Two Cheers for Gentrification

Coherent optical OFDM: has its time come? [Invited]

There has been growing interest in coherent optical orthogonal frequencydivision multiplexing (CO-OFDM). We aim to present the case that the time for CO-OFDM has come, in terms of the demand from today’s ever-advancing optical networks and the availability of its underlying technologies. We first lay out the signal processing aspect for CO-OFDM and then show a 2 2 multiple-input–multiple-output...
