Again, this week on the blog has been quiet as I've been travelling. I'll be at the 12th International Conference on Population Geographies in Belfast this coming week, presenting a paper entitled "Subnational population ageing in New Zealand: Past, present, and future". In the meantime though, here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- Peng et al. (open access) find that a grant proposal’s percentage of promotional language is associated with up to a doubling of the grant’s probability of being funded, and that the percentage of promotional language is predictive of the expected citation and productivity impact of publications that are supported by funded grants
- Sarsons (open access) summarises 2024 Nobel Prize winner Claudia Goldin’s contributions to our understanding of women’s labour market outcomes
- McFarland, Groothuis, and Guignet (open access) find that NCAA football win percentage does not significantly change the number of students who apply to a college, except in the smaller “Group‐of‐Five” conferences, where win percentage is associated with an increase in the number of applications
- Weinbach et al. (open access) find that greater market concentration of the top four artists in the Billboard Hot 100 between 1952 and 1989 is associated with longer #1 songs and shorter songs in the #2 through #10 spots on the Billboard charts, but that there is little evidence of changes in song construction that might indicate a form of 'selling‐out'
- Dreber, Johannesson, and Yang (open access) find that there has been significant underreporting of placebo tests in eleven top economics journals between 2009 and 2021 (an indicator of p-hacking behaviour)
- Rabie, Rashwan, and Miniesy (open access) find that exerting effort while fasting reduces honesty, using a sample of employees and students at an Egyptian university, before and after Ramadan
- Cardazzi et al. find that that unexpected NBA losses lead to increases in domestic violence, using data from 2012 to 2018
