Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week (another quiet week):
- Ghorbani and Meltzer test whether local retail services are considered a nuisance or an amenity in New York City, and find that retail services that are more frequently consumed and experiential, and that are located in relatively more mixed-use neighbourhoods are positively capitalised into property values
- Alkusari, Datta Gupta, and Etcoff (open access) find that more attractive female junior researchers are significantly more likely to hold an academic job five years post-PhD
- Adda and Ottaviani (with ungated earlier version here) show that grading research proposals on a curve inefficiently discourages even the very best candidates from applying when evaluation is perfect, so there are gains to ensuring that evaluation is in some way imperfect (seems quite counterintuitive)
