TL;DR: It is found that common genes influenced the phenotypic correlations between only Extraversion and Openness to Experience and the tendency to be an entrepreneur.
Abstract: We applied multivariate genetics techniques to a sample of 3,412 monozygotic and dizygotic twins from the United Kingdom and 1,300 monozygotic and dizygotic twins from the United States to examine whether genetic factors account for part of the covariance between the Big Five personality characteristics and the tendency to be an entrepreneur. We found that common genes influenced the phenotypic correlations between only Extraversion and Openness to Experience and the tendency to be an entrepreneur. Although the phenotypic correlations between the personality characteristics and the tendency to be an entrepreneur were small in size, genetic factors accounted for most of them.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the appeal of "grand" historical narratives of nationalism by focusing on the ways in which history and identity are contested in the context of Greek Cypriot society and pay particular attention to diverse expressions of nationalism formulated by the state, political parties, and individual social actors.
Abstract: In this article I consider the appeal of "grand" historical narratives of nationalism by focusing on the ways in which history and identity are contested in the context of Greek Cypriot society. I pay particular attention to diverse expressions of nationalism formulated by the state, political parties, and individual social actors. By examining how nationalism is articulated on these different levels, I propose an understanding of the dialectical process between "above" and "below" that accounts for the appeal of specific constructions of nationalism. I investigate this process by looking at how individual social actors discuss the past in ways that blend elements of personal, local, and national political history. Such an approach provides an alternative to theories that hold that nationalism's appeal lies in proposing a new kind of community as the local community collapses under the dislocating impact of the forces of modernity. In contrast, theories of nationalism phrased in terms of broad cultural ontologies are problematic for explaining the presence of multiple models of nationalism within a community, and the ways in which nationalisms can be internally contested, [nationalism, history, identity, narrative, Cyprus]

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of methods of estimating cointegrating vectors and testing for causality in cointegrated VARs is presented, and some implications for the applied researcher are drawn.
Abstract: This paper surveys various methods of estimating cointegrating vectors and testing for causality in cointegrated VARs, and draws some implications for the applied researcher. In a single equation framework a number of estimators can be used, whose asymptotic efficiency depends on the extent to which they correct for possible endogeneity and serial correlation of the regressors. Such estimates are asymptotically equivalent to those obtained using full system methods, even if the cointegration space is multidimensional, provided there are no cross‐equation restrictions. Using the triangular representation proposed by Phillips (1988), we show that one can employ in the context of an ECM a least squares estimator if weak exogeneity holds. If not, the alternatives are augmenting it by the leads of the regressors as in Stock and Watson (1993), or using the fully modified (FM) estimator due to Phillips and Hansen (1990). Other possibilities are the nonparametric approach developed by Bierens (1997), or the ARDL formulation due to Pesaran and Shin (1995). As for causality testing, we argue that it should be conducted within an ECM rather than a VAR formulation, as the limit distributions are much more likely to be standard in the former case. Alternatively, one can carry out statistical tests in the context of a VAR in levels estimated either by using the FM‐VAR method as in Phillips (1995), or by augmenting the VAR as in Toda and Yamamoto (1995). Other, computationally easier tests have been introduced by Dolado and Lutkepohl (1996) and Saikkonen and Lutkepohl (1996).

TL;DR: In this paper, a measurement of W-boson production in PbPb collisions carried out at a nucleon-nucleon (NN) centre-of-mass energy sqrt(s[NN]) of 2.76 TeV at the LHC using the CMS detector.
Abstract: A measurement is presented of W-boson production in PbPb collisions carried out at a nucleon-nucleon (NN) centre-of-mass energy sqrt(s[NN]) of 2.76 TeV at the LHC using the CMS detector. In data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.3 inverse microbarns, the number of W to mu mu-neutrino decays is extracted in the region of muon pseudorapidity abs(eta[mu]) 25 GeV. Yields of muons found per unit of pseudorapidity correspond to (159 +/- 10 (stat.) +/- 12 (syst.)) 10E-8 W(plus) and (154 +/- 10 (stat.) +/- 12 (syst.)) 10E-8 W(minus) bosons per minimum-bias PbPb collision. The dependence of W production on the centrality of PbPb collisions is consistent with a scaling of the yield by the number of incoherent NN collisions. The yield of W bosons is also studied in a sample of pp interactions at sqrt(s)= 2.76 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 231 inverse nanobarns. The individual W(plus) and W(minus) yields in PbPb and pp collisions are found to agree, once the neutron and proton content in Pb nuclei is taken into account. Likewise, the difference observed in the dependence of the positive and negative muon production on pseudorapidity is consistent with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations.
