We use a behavioural microsimulation model embedded in a numerical optimization procedure in order to identify optimal …

We examine the effect of school traffic pollution on student outcomes by leveraging variation in wind patterns for …

In this paper, we describe a novel iterative procedure called SISTA to learn the underlying cost in optimal transport … ("ISTA"). It alternates between a phase of exact minimization over the transport potentials and a phase of proximal gradient … descent over the parameters of the transport cost. We prove that this method converges linearly, and we illustrate on …

unit of input that are duesimply to changes in the composition of traffic, as initially happened with the mid-20th centuryU …

It is well established that boys perceive themselves to be better in mathematics than girls, even when their ability is … the same. We examine the drivers of this male overconfidence in self-assessed mathematics ability using a longitudinal … exploit the random assignment of the sex of one's co-twin. Using measures of individual self-assessment in mathematics from …

We find that mathematics skills have a stronger relationship to university performance than verbal skills. While both … are predictive of degree completion and class of degree obtained, mathematics skills have a larger effect, and are …

and the gender test score gap in mathematics. We employ a novel two-stage empirical strategy in which the first stage … involves decomposing the gender mathematics gap into a part that is explained by gender differences in observable …
