TL;DR: The first results of a direct search for dark matter operating in the underground Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) and searching for the rare nuclear recoils possibly induced by weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) were reported in this paper.

TL;DR: This paper showed that less home bias is associated with more international risk sharing and that more financial integration was associated with risk sharing when measuring financial integration as the ratio of foreign assets to Gross Domestic Product.

TL;DR: A CFA of the BFNE, using the two‐factor model proposed by Rodebaugh et al., supported their conclusion that the reverse‐worded items comprise a separate, methodologically based factor, but resulted in an acceptable unitary model that conforms to the theoretical basis for theBFNE, without risking loss of sensitivity from item removal.
Abstract: Rodebaugh et al. [2004: Psychol Assess 2:169-181] recently performed a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation scale (BFNE; Leary, 1983: Psychol Bull 9:371-375]. Their study resulted in the emergence of a two-factor solution comprising straightforwardly worded items and reverse-worded items. They concluded by recommending use of only the straightforwardly worded items in the BFNE. Our intent in this study was to evaluate this recommendation through replication and extension. Participants included 385 undergraduates from the Universities of Regina and Houston, who provided responses to a questionnaire battery including either the BFNE or a revision utilizing straightforwardly worded versions of the reverse-worded items (BFNE-II). A CFA of the BFNE, using the two-factor model proposed by Rodebaugh et al., supported their conclusion that the reverse-worded items comprise a separate, methodologically based factor. However, CFA of the BFNE-II resulted in an acceptable unitary model that conforms to the theoretical basis for the BFNE, without risking loss of sensitivity from item removal. Additional analyses suggest use of the BFNE-II rather than a shortened form.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the half-life of purchasing power parity deviations among studies using long-horizon data and found that, even though most of the point estimates lie within the 3-5 year range, univariate methods provide virtually no information regarding the size of the half life.
Abstract: Rogoff (Journal of Economic Literature 1996;34:647–668) describes the ‘remarkable consensus’ of 3–5 year half-lives of purchasing power parity deviations among studies using long-horizon data. These studies, however, focus on rejections of unit roots in real exchange rates and do not use appropriate techniques to measure persistence. Our half-life estimates explicitly account for serial correlation, sampling uncertainty and, most importantly, small sample bias. Calculating confidence intervals as well as point estimates for long-horizon and post-1973 data, we find that, even though most of the point estimates lie within the 3–5 year range, univariate methods provide virtually no information regarding the size of the half-lives.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between the quality of corporate governance and information asymmetry in the equity market around quarterly earnings announcements, using the change in market liquidity (i.e., bid-ask spreads and depths) around the announcements as a proxy for information asymmetric.
