Does Competition Destroy Ethical Behavior?
(American Economic Association, 2004)Explanations of unethical behavior often neglect the role of competition, as opposed to greed, in assuring its spread. Using the examples of child labor, corruption, "excessive" executive pay, corporate earnings manipulation, ... -
Does Evolutionary Psychology Show That Normativity Is Mind-Dependent?
(Oxford Scholarship Online, 2014)Suppose we grant that evolutionary forces have had a profound effect on the contours of our normative judgments and intuitions. Can we conclude anything from this about the correct metaethical theory? This chapter argues ... -
Does Federal Student Aid Raise Tuition? New Evidence on For-Profit Colleges
(American Economic Association, 2014)We use administrative data from five states to provide the first comprehensive estimates of the size of the for-profit higher education sector in the U.S. Our estimates include schools that are not currently eligible to ... -
Does Headedness Affect Processing? A New Look at the VO–OV Contrast
(Cambridge University Press, 2009)This paper examines the relationship between headedness and language processing and considers two strategies that potentially ease language comprehension and production. Both strategies allow a language to minimize the ... -
Does heritability hide in epistasis between linked SNPs?

Does Indivisible Labor Explain the Difference between Micro and Macro Elasticities? A Meta-Analysis of Extensive Margin Elasticities
(University of Chicago Press, 2013)Macroeconomic calibrations imply much larger labor supply elasticities than microeconometric studies. One prominent explanation for this divergence is that indivisible labor generates extensive margin responses that are ... -
Does it always feel good to get what you want? Young children differentiate between material and wicked desires
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)One line of research on children's attributions of guilt suggests that 3-year-olds attribute negative emotion to self-serving victimizers, slightly older children attribute happiness, and with increasing age, attributions ... -
Does microchimerism mediate kin conflicts?
(Informa UK Limited, 2014)Fetal microchimerism (FMc) is predicted to promote the fitness of the fetus and maternal microchimerism (MMc) to promote the fitness of the mother. Offspring and mothers benefit from each other’s health. Therefore, ... -
Does Shear Heating of Pore Fluid Contribute to Earthquake Nucleation?
(American Geophysical Union, 2006)Earthquake nucleation requires reduction of frictional strength \(\tau = \mu (\sigma - p) \) with slip or slip rate, where \(\mu, \sigma_n\), and \(p\) are the friction coefficient, normal stress, and fluid pressure, ... -
Does Sleep Play a Role in Memory Consolidation? A Comparative Test
(Public Library of Science, 2009)Sleep is a pervasive characteristic of mammalian species, yet its purpose remains obscure. It is often proposed that ‘sleep is for the brain’, a view that is supported by experimental studies showing that sleep improves ... -
Does Systems Research Measure Up?
(1997)We surveyed more than two hundred systems research papers published in the last six years, and found that, in experiment after experiment, systems researchers measure the same things, but in the majority of cases the ... -
Does temperature contain a stochastic trend? Evaluating conflicting statistical results
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2009)We evaluate the claim by Gay et al. (Clim Change 94:333–349, 2009) that “surface temperature can be better described as a trend stationary process with a one-time permanent shock” than efforts by Kaufmann et al. (Clim ... -
Does the Delivery of CBT for Youth Anxiety Differ Across Research and Practice Settings?
(Elsevier BV, 2017-07)Does delivery of the same manual-based individual cognitive-behavioral treatment (ICBT) program for youth anxiety differ across research and practice settings? We examined this question in a sample of 89 youths (M age = ... -
Does the Mass Accretion Rate Depend on the Radius of the Accreting Star?
(American Astronomical Society, 2001)In some circumstances, the mass accretion rate (M) over dot (*) onto a compact star may depend not only on external boundary conditions but also on the radius R-* of the accreting star. Writing the dependence as M-* ... -
Does the Minimum Legal Drinking Age Save Lives?
(Oxford University Press, 2009)The minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) is widely believed to save lives by reducing traffic fatalities among underage drivers. Further, the Federal Uniform Drinking Age Act, which pressured all states to adopt an MLDA of ... -
Does the Repressor Coping Style Predict Lower Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms?
(Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S., 2011)We tested whether a continuous measure of repressor coping style predicted lower posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in 122 health care professionals serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Zero-order correlational ... -
Does the SDR Have a Future?

Does the Turing Test demonstrate intelligence or not?
(Assocation for the Advancement of Artifical Intelligence, 2006)The Turing Test has served as a defining inspiration throughout the early history of artificial intelligence research. Its centrality arises in part because verbal behavior indistinguishable from that of humans seems like ... -
The Dollar and Real Interest Rates
(Elsevier Science B.V., 1987)In this paper, we investigate the link between the real foreign exchange value of the dollar and real interest rates since 1979. We argue that it is important to consider the possibility that real exchange rate movements ...
