duchene and becker muscular dystrophy (dmd and bmd) are x-linked conditions that result from a defect in the dystrophin gene located on xp21. dmd is the most frequent neuromuscular disease in humans (1/3500 male newborns). in approximately 65% of dmd and bmd patients, deletions in the dystrophin gene have been identified as the molecular determinant. population-based variations in frequency and...

Understanding the link between temperature and educational outcomes is important in assessing the efficiency and equity implications of various schooling interventions and the potential welfare impacts of climate change. Using student-level administrative data for the largest public school district in the United States, I estimate the causal impact of hot temperature on high-stakes exam perform...
