U.S. Competitiveness in Science and Technology

Autor: Titus Galama, James Hosek

Is the United States in danger of losing its competitive edge in science and technology (S & T)? This concern has been raised repeatedly since the end of the Cold War, most recently in a wave of reports in the mid-2000s suggesting that globalization

The UK Biobank (UKB) is a large cohort study of considerable empirical importance to fields such as medicine, epidemiology, statistical genetics, and the social sciences, due to its very large size (∼ 500,000 individuals) and its wide availability

We estimate a stochastic life-cycle model of endogenous health spending, asset accumulation and retirement to investigate the causes behind the increase in health spending and longevity in the U.S. over the period 1965-2005. We estimate that technolo

Epidemiological studies show high comorbidity between different mental health problems, indicating that individuals with a diagnosis of one disorder are more likely to develop other mental health problems. Genetic studies reveal substantial sharing o

Background Extant obesity efforts have had a limited impact among low-income underserved children, in part because existing programs are limited in terms of their short duration and low dosage, limited accessibility and sustainability; and failure to
