Nighttime lights as a proxy for human development at the local Level

Nighttime lights are increasingly used by social scientists as a proxy for economic activity and economic development in subnational spatial units. However, so far, our understanding of what nighttime lights capture is limited. We construct local indicators of household wealth, education and health from geo-coded Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) for 29 African countries. We show...

Family firms and national competitiveness: Does family firm prevalence matter?

We revisit the question of family firms (FFs) and their capacity for internationalization, and link it to the literature on national competitiveness.

Using data on...

Work-related Social Support Modulates Effects of Early Life Stress on Limbic Reactivity during Stress

Early life stress (ELS) affects stress- reactivity via limbic brain regions implicated such as hippocampus and amygdala. Social support is a major protective factor against ELS effects, while subjects with ELS experience reportedly perceive less of it in their daily life. The workplace, where most adults spend a substantial amount of time in their daily lives, might serve as a major...
