Introduction: Targeting of inflammatory states with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’S) is an attractive proposition for cancer prevention. There is abundant epidemiological and experimental evidence that NSAID’S can inhibit tumour development in a number of organs and such drugs have given positive results in human intervention studies. It is hoped that problems with side effects c...

Between 1973 and 1987, men's average earnings declined and the percentage of men with low earnings (defined as annual earnings less than $12,000 a year) increased for whites, blacks, and Hispanics. We estimate regression models for the level and distribution of male earnings for each of these three groups using data from the 1974, 1980, and 1988 March Current Population Surveys. Much of the dec...

Rubble Women: The Long-Term Effects of Postwar Reconstruction on Female Labor Market Outcomes During World War II, more than one-half million tons of bombs were dropped in aerial raids on German cities, destroying about forty percent of the total housing stock nationwide. With a large fraction of the male population gone, the reconstruction process had mainly fallen on women in postwar Germany....

The function of angiotensin peptides is dependent upon the action of several aminopeptidases (APs) termed angiotensinases. Soluble (SOL) and membrane (MEM)-bound alanyl-AP (AlaAP) and cystinyl-AP (CysAP) are involved in the metabolism of angiotensins and related to the modulation of behavior and memory. To study the interactions between angiotensinase activity in the hippocampus and behavioral ...

Many have suggested we adopt policies that explicitly encourage the elderly to work. Behind this suggestion is the assumption that if an older person desires a job, one will be found; however, little is known about the extent to which this is true, and in the Health and Retirement Study, many more respondents say they expect to work after retirement than actually undertake work. This raises an ...

We use detailed information from U.S. consumers’credit card purchases to provide the first largescale description of the geography of consumption. We find that consumers’mobility is quite limited and document significant heterogeneity in the importance of gravity across sectors. Gravity is stronger in more frequently purchased sectors. Consumers actively manage the spatial dimension of their co...

Policy changes intended to delay retirements of older workers and extend their work lives may run up against demand-side barriers from age discrimination, and supply-side barriers owing to rising physical challenges of work as people age. We study three questions. How do age discrimination protections affect labor market transitions of workers encouraged to work longer by increases in Social Se...

We construct a news-based viral disease index and study the dynamic impact of epidemics on world economy, using structural vector autoregressions. Epidemic shocks have persistently negative effects, both directly indirectly, affected countries output. The lead to signi?cant fall in global trade, employment, consumer prices for three quarters, losses are permanent. In contrast, retail sales incr...
