This paper exploits a short-lived cooperation program between the U.S.S.R. and China, which led to the construction of 156 “Million-Rouble plants” in the 1950s. We isolate exogenous variation in location decisions due to the relative position of allied and enemy airbases and study the...

Auctions are widely used online to conduct commercial transactions. An important feature of online auctions is that even bidders who intend to buy a single object frequently have the opportunity to bid in sequential auctions selling identical objects. This paper studies key features of the...

Abstract : The threat of climate change resulting from carbon dioxide emissions is one of the greatest threats to human survival and natural ecosystems. However, it is still unclear whether hazardous air pollutant regulations will simultaneously reduce air pollutant emissions and greenhouse gas...

Magnesium-lithium dual-ion batteries (MLDBs) use Mg2+ /Li+ dual-ion electrolytes and safe magnesium anodes to achieve high performances. Coincidentally, conversion-type chalcogenides are widely used as cathodes for MLDBs due to their high theoretical specific capacities. In this work, we...

A novel chitosan stabilized biochar supported sulfide nano-zero valent iron composite material (CB- S-nZVI ) was prepared to high effectively remove Cd2+ and Cu2+ from wastewater. Batch experiments showed that CB-S-nZVI had higher affinity for Cd2+ and Cu2+ than other nZVI modified materials....

We study the role of bargaining as a barrier to migration in the equilibrium of a two-country world with imperfectly competitive labor markets. Equilibrium migration is jointly determined by relative labor market bargaining powers, productivity and costs of migration. If migrants complement host...

The paper estimates the demand for new digital cameras sold in eBay auctions. EBay data seems to offer significant advantages over traditional transactions data for estimating demand for differentiated products. However, there are a number of concerns including censoring bias and the...
