Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- Chan (open access) finds that, between 1870 and 1910, ports which increased their proportion of steam in shipping volumes increased trade by diversifying their trade flows in terms of the range of trading partner countries and products traded
- Brodeur, Kattan, and Musumeci (with ungated earlier version here) study the relationship between statistical significance and placement outcomes for 200 empirical economics job market papers from 2018-2021, finding that marginally significant results are associated with higher academic placement likelihoods, providing a strong incentive for young researchers to 'p-hack' for statistical significance
- Gershoni and Stryjan (with ungated earlier version here) find significant declines in both exam attendance and demonstrated knowledge following the switch to online instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic in Israel
