A Passiflora incarnata extract exerts multi-target effects on selected sleep-related receptors
Ethnopharmacological relevance Since ancient times, passionflower ( Passiflora incarnata L. ) is used to treat insomnia, nervousness, anxiety, and other neurological conditions, but the understanding of the underlying neurophysiological processes is largely limited to the involvement of the GABAergic system. Aim of the study This work aims to elucidate the mechanism by which P . incarnata modulates selected sleep-promoting receptors and neurotran…
Immediate impact of child maltreatment on mental, developmental, and physical health trajectories
OBJECTIVE: The immediate impact of child maltreatment on health and developmental trajectories over time is unknown. Longitudinal studies starting in the direct aftermath of exposure with repeated follow-up are needed. METHOD: We assessed health and developmental outcomes in 6-month intervals over 2 years in 173 children, aged 3-5 years at study entry, including 86 children with exposure to emotional and physical abuse or neglect within 6 months …
Universal Basic Income Versus Unemployment Insurance
Universal Basic Income versus Unemployment Insurance
In this paper we compare the welfare effects of unemployment insurance (UI) with an universal basic income (UBI) system in an economy with idiosyncratic shocks to employment. Both policies provide a safety net in the face of idiosyncratic shocks. While the unemployment insurance program should do a better job at protecting the unemployed, it suffers from moral hazard and substantial monitoring costs, which may threaten its usefulness. The univers…
Measuring Unemployment Insurance Generosity
Unemployment insurance policies are multidimensional objects, with variable waiting periods, eligibility duration, benefit levels, and asset tests, making intertemporal or international comparisons very difficult. Furthermore, labor market conditions, such as the likelihood and duration of unemployment, matter when assessing the generosity of different policies. In this article, we develop a new methodology to measure the generosity of unemployme…
La dissémination de la recherche en sciences économiques
Publier en sciences économiques impose des délais considérables se chiffrant facilement en de multiples années, de la soumission à la parution. Aussi, le contenu des revues est en retard par rapport à la frontière de la recherche. Les principaux médias pour s’informer de cette frontière sont alors les conférences et les cahiers de recherche, des polycopiés qui circulent parmi certains scientifiques. Ceci favorise la formation de petits cercles fe…
Heterodox economics and dissemination of research through the internet
Purpose This paper seeks to study how the democratization of the diffusion of research through the internet could have helped non‐traditional fields of research. Design/methodology/approach The specific case the authors approach is heterodox economics as its pre‐prints are disseminated through NEP, the e‐mail alert service of RePEc. Findings Comparing heterodox and mainstream papers, the authors find that the heterodox are quite systematically mo…
