Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- Peña finds that older male Oscar nominees are more likely to win that younger nominees, while there is no effect of age among female nominees
- Elizalde and Kampanelis (open access) find a strong and positive relationship between pre-colonial institutions and contemporary economic development among Latin American countries
- Cummins (open access) uses the change in compulsory schooling in England in 1972 to investigate the effect of education on age at marriage and marital fertility, finding that an extra year of education at age 15 or 16 may have raised age at marriage, but had no causal effect on marital fertility
- Ackermann, Bradley, and Cameron (open access) find that digital piracy complements box-office revenue for “spectacle”-oriented films (where the value of the good is linked to in-theatre viewing), but that piracy displaces box office sales for “story”-oriented films (where the value is inherent, that is, unenhanced by in-theatre viewing)
