This week in research #7

I've been a bit busy this week due to a heavy dose of research fieldwork, but nevertheless, here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:

  • Hoekman and Rake (open access) investigate the geography of academic authorship and find, perhaps unsurprisingly, that authorship is more likely for researchers who are located closer to project sponsors, and where there is less national competition
  • Jedwab, Johnson, and Koyama (with ungated earlier version here) find significant heterogeneity in recovery after the Black Death, with populations returning disproportionately to locations endowed with more rural and urban fixed factors of production
  • Pazzona (open access) conducts a meta-analysis on the relationship between income inequality and crime, and finds a statistically significant but economically insignificant relationship

And from my own research:

  • With a large number of co-authors led by John Oetzel, our new article (open access) in the journal Frontiers in Public Health reports on the levels and covariates of health-related quality of life, self-rated health, spirituality, life satisfaction, and loneliness, from a sample of 75 kaumātua (Māori elders)
