Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- Tillinghast, Mjelde, and Yeritsyan found that class GPAs at the College of Agriculture at Texas A&M University increased by 0.2 points in Spring 2020 because of COVID-19 and then approximately 0.2 points in the subsequent two semesters (open access)
- St Amour presents a life-cycle model of the value of a statistical life year, then derives estimates of various measures of the value of life using data from the US Panel Study of Income Dynamics (see also this post on a related point)
- Gaenssle looks at whether the degree of nudity affects the income of Instagram stars, and finds that it does - for both male and female stars (open access)
- Yamada et al. find that, among female sex workers in Myanmar, higher risk tolerance is associated with a lower transaction price (open access)
New from the Waikato working papers series:
- Tucker and Xu revisit an important 2001 paper in experimental finance on the formation of bubbles in asset markets
