Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Abstract In Western societies, most married working employees are now part of a dual-earner couple, meaning both people are engaged in the paid workforce to some extent. Such arrangements introduce benefits as well as challenges in managing two unique work roles and the shared family domain. In this review, we first summarize research about how dual-earner couples manage work and family, including the division of labor, decision-making processes, and specific behavioral strategies. Next, we discuss research on dual-earner couples’ well-being and quality of life, making explicit comparisons to single-earner couples where possible. We close our review with a discussion of research on the macroenvironment, including how cultural norms and state policies relate to dual-earner couples’ functioning. Lastly, we offer numerous recommendations for future researchers to explore the contexts and conditions that facilitate the blending of dual-earner couples’ work and family roles.

Abstract There is little disagreement among insurance actuaries and financial economists about the societal benefits of longevity-risk pooling in the form of life annuities, defined benefit pensions, self-annuitization funds, and even tontine schemes. Indeed, the discounted value or cost of providing an income for life is lower -- in other words, the amount of upfront capital required to generate a similar income stream with the same level of statistical safety is lower -- when participants pool their financial resources versus going it alone. Moreover, when participants' financial circumstances and lifespans are homogenous, there is consensus on how to share the "winnings" among survivors, namely by distributing them equally among survivors, a.k.a. a uniform rule. Alas, what is lesser-known and much more problematic is allocating the winnings in such a pool when participants differ in wealth (contributions) and health (longevity), especially when the pools are relatively small in size. The same problems arise when viewed from the dual perspective of decentralized risk sharing (DRS). The positive correlation between health and income and the fact that wealthier participants are likely to live longer is a growing concern among pension and retirement policymakers. With that motivation in mind, this paper offers a modelling framework for distributing longevity-risk pools' income and benefits (or tontine winnings) when participants are heterogeneous. Similar to the nascent literature on decentralized risk sharing, there are several equally plausible arrangements for sharing benefits (a.k.a. "skinning the cat") among survivors. Moreover, the selected rule depends on the extent of social cohesion within the longevity risk pool, ranging from solidarity and altruism to pure individualism. In sum, actuarial science cannot really offer or guarantee uniqueness, only a methodology.

Abstract Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a pre-malignant condition of multiple myeloma (MM). Evidence suggested old age, black race, male gender, and obesity as risk factors for MGUS development; however, whether they are associated with an increased risk of progression to MM among patients with MGUS is unclear. A systematic search of PUBMED and EMBASE for cohort studies investigating the association between age/race/gender/obesity and progression to MM. We used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) to assess the methodologic quality of the included studies. Summary risk ratios were calculated using random-effects models. We identified 24 publications, of which 17 articles were included in the main analyses. Overall, the quality of the studies was fair (mean NOS = 5.5). Our meta-analyses showed that old age was positively associated with the risk of the MGUS-MM progression (risk ratio: 2.38; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.59-3.57), while race was not statistically significantly associated with the risk (blacks vs whites: 1.09; 95% CI: 0.77-1.54). Males had a lower risk of MGUS-MM progression, compared to females (risk ratio: 0.70; 95% CI 0.50-1.0; P-value = .048). High body mass index was significantly associated with an increased risk of MGUS-MM progression (risk ratio: 1.32; 95% CI 1.12-1.57). Based on extant research, old age, female sex, and obesity may be implicated in MGUS-MM progression. However, several studies which found an insignificant association between age/gender and progression did not report the risk estimates. Publication bias exists and our risk estimates may be overestimated. More studies are warranted to confirm our findings.

Vibhuti Dhingra, Harish Krishnan, and Juan Serpa (Forthcoming). "Project Networks and Reallocation Externalities", Management Science.

Abstract A project involves several participants—including clients, contractors, and subcontractors—that work concurrently on multiple projects and allocate resources among them. This interdependency creates a network of otherwise unrelated projects. We map the network of U.S. government projects involving over 150,000 participants. We show that a seemingly localized disruption, affecting only one project site, eventually causes delays across unrelated projects. This is because participants opportunistically reallocate resources into disrupted projects, at the expense of other projects, triggering a domino effect of further reallocations in the network. Thus, the costs of on-site disruptions end up being shared by multiple participants in the network, rather than being fully absorbed by the affected project. Performance-based incentives, which reward contractors for timeliness, exacerbate these externalities by encouraging self-interested resource reallocation.

Abstract Does policy uncertainty affect productivity? Policy uncertainty creates delays as firms await new information about prices, costs, and other market conditions before committing resources. Such delays can have real consequences on firms’ productivity and corporate decisions. First, we find that economic policy uncertainty has a negative impact on firm-level productivity. Second, policy uncertainty is positively related to cash holdings, but this effect is mostly driven by highly productive firms and by firms with higher levels of irreversible investments since these firms face higher opportunity costs in future states. Third, debt magnifies the adverse effects of policy uncertainty on productivity, but access to external financing during periods of significant policy uncertainty shocks has a positive impact on firm- level productivity. The three findings are robust to various specifications and provide an affirmative answer to the opening question.
