We use conjoint choice questions to investigate people’s preferences for income and reductions in mortality risks delivered by contaminated site remediation policies. Our survey is self-administered using the computer by residents of four cities in Italy with severely contaminated sites. We estimate the Value of a Statistical Life to be about €5-6 million for an immediate risk reduction. If the...

A majority of the air pollution currently regulated under U.S. emissions trading programs is nonuniformly mixed, meaning that health and environmental damages depend on the location and dispersion characteristics of the sources. Most emissions trading programs ignore this fact. Emissions are penalized at a single permit price, regardless of the location of the source. In theory, di¤erentiated p...

The human ANKRD2 gene was isolated from a cDNA library of human esophageal carcinoma cell line by immunoscreening (Moriyama et al., 2001), and independently cloned from two other laboratories in relation to skeletal muscle development and stretch-induced hypertrophy (Kemp et al., 2000; Pallavicini et al., 2001). It encodes an ankyrin-repeated protein highly homologous to the cardiac-restricted ...

Introduction: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a rare but highly aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. BL exhibits characteristic immunophenotype that positive for pan-B cell markers and CD10. The genetic hallmark of the translocation MYC oncogene under regulation an immunoglobulin (IG) heavy or light chain enhancer, resulting in protein overexpression. Notably, by itself not sufficient oncogenesis v...

This paper examines the long-term impacts of early childhood exposure to air pollution on adult outcomes using U.S. administrative data. We exploit changes in air pollution driven by the 1970 Clean Air Act to analyze the difference in outcomes between cohorts born in counties before and after large improvements in air pollution relative to those same cohorts born in counties that had no improve...
