A theoretical foundation for predicting the distribution of trade strength and the rate of change of trade strength was developed. These two quantities were found to satisfy the Pareto distribution function. The equations were confirmed using data from the World Integrated Trade Solution and the World Bank by comparing the Akaike information criterion and Bayesian information criterion to five types of distribution functions (exponential, lognormal, gamma, Pareto, and Weibull). Furthermore, the fitted Pareto power parameter is quite similar to the theoretical prediction. The developed distribution function is expected to be useful in forecasting international trade in countries and global economics, enabling the implementation of optimal policies.

The benefit-cost study of the Clean Air Act conducted by the EPA a decade ago found that the benefit from that act far exceeds its cost. However, 85% of that benefit came from the EPA's valuation of the lives saved by the act. This valuation was based on estimates of the statistical value of a life, the majority of which were made using a hedonic wage equation. The analysis presented here shows that such a valuation may not accurately capture willingness to pay for improved air quality. In fact, it is only capable of doing so in a very special case, when air quality does not affect the probability of developing non-fatal conditions.

The purpose of the present study is to determine if there is a relationship between red flag laws and mass shootings. Mass shootings may be averted if the potential shooter’s firearms are seized per a warrant emanating from a red flag statute. Using a fixed effects model and a propensity score matching model, it was found that red flag laws are not significantly related to the number of mass shooting victims (killed and injured). One potential reason for this result is the rarity of mass shootings and the infrequency with which red flag laws are used. Data used in the present study are for the period 1999 to 2020. Mass shootings data were obtained from the Mother Jones mass shooting database. The present study is the first study in the English language literature to examine the relationship between red flag laws and mass shootings.
本研究的目的是确定红旗法与大规模枪击案之间是否存在关系。如果潜在枪手的枪支是根据红旗法的授权令扣押的，那么大规模枪击案就可能被避免。通过使用固定效应模型和倾向得分匹配模型，研究发现红旗法与大规模枪击案受害者（死亡和受伤）人数没有显著关系。造成这一结果的一个潜在原因是大规模枪击事件的罕见性以及红旗法的使用频率较低。本研究使用的数据是 1999 年至 2020 年期间的数据。大规模枪击案数据来自 Mother Jones 大规模枪击案数据库。本研究是英语文献中第一项研究红旗法与大规模枪击案之间关系的研究。

The growing weight being placed on self-directed retirement accounts within the United States retirement income policy framework, and the time inconsistency challenge of individuals, particularly women, tending to under-invest in retirement savings accounts motivated the current work. Using data from the United States Federal Reserve Board’s Survey of Consumer Finances, for a period spanning from 1989 to 2019, 11 cross-sections of data, the paper investigated the role of gender in United States retirement risk-taking investment strategies of single (never married) individuals. The analysis documented increasing trends in the risk-taking of both single women and single men but recorded differences in the risk-taking profiles of the two groups, with single men taking more risk than single women in their retirement wealth building in most cross-sections, with the gender risk-taking gap dropping, nonetheless, algebraically in magnitude from 1989 to 2019.
