One of the reasons of why some musical instruments more successfully continue their evolution and actively take part in the history of music is partially attributed to the existing compositions made specifically for them, pieces that remain and are still played over a long period of time.

A growing literature claims beautiful workers receive higher wages. Using five nationallevel surveys, we find that in multivariate regression models there is no beauty premium. Most beauty coefficients are statistically insignificant, even in replications of published work. Simple model alterations, such as clustering on the primary sampling unit or redefining other covariates, eliminate much o...
