Positive feedback in skill aggregation across Chinese cities
This paper examines whether human capital levels diverged across Chinese cities between 1990 and 2010. By employing a series of instruments for the initial human capital share, consistent positive feedback between current human capital levels on the subsequent growth of human capital in the 2000s is found. The findings are also robust to alternative instrumental variables.

The rise in drug overdose deaths in the United States since the turn of the millennium has been extraordinary. Changes in the medical profession's view of prescription opioids have dramatically increased the availability of potent drugs, but concurrent increases in suicides and liver disease suggest a demand element to the crisis.

Trump’s policies will harm coal areas instead of helping them | Lexington Herald Leader
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is moving to repeal the Clean Power Plan as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to bring jobs and prosperity to communities that rely on the coal industry. Our research focuses on determining which factors help create sustainable and prosperous regions, with a special focus on rural areas. In our view, Trump’s proposals will do little to help coal-dependent regions, and some will actually worsen their decline.

Communities that have historically relied on coal production, especially in Appalachia, have been suffering major economic and employment losses for decades.

How should the U.S. government help coal communities?
As the United States adopts policies to lower greenhouse gas emissions, some communities will benefit from the shift to lower-carbon energy sources. But others will lose. Communities that have historically relied on coal production – especially in Appalachia – have been suffering major economic and employment losses for decades.
Copyrights and Wrongs
Mega-trainer and motivational speaker Anthony Robbins and his team created a 350-page manual in 1996 for a seminar called "Financial Power." The materials caught the attention of Wade B. Cook, author of the best-seller Wall Street Money Machine, who claimed that four passages from Robbins' manual-72 words-were copied from his book. Robbins had read Cook's book and admitted he used some of Cook's phrases because of their creativity. A jury awarded Cook $655,900 for copyright infringement.
Detection of genetically modified soya in a range of organic and health food products: Implications for the accurate labelling of foodstuffs derived from potential GM crops
Abstract A selection of organic/health foods containing soya beans was tested for the presence of genetically modified (GM) material. Out of 25 samples of food products containing unrefined soya ingredients, ten tested positively for the presence of GM material. This was surprising because eight out of the ten GM‐positive samples were either labelled as “GM free” and/or were labelled as “organic”, both of which imply the absence of GM ingredients.
