Recent studies support the idea that entrepreneurship can stimulate economic growth, with research on immigrant high-tech start-ups and entrepreneurial decision-making providing avenues for future research. The "Startup America" initiative aims to promote entrepreneurship as a solution to the US economy's recovery process.
As men lose their primary breadwinner roles, depression and marital conflict are likely to increase. Biological and sociological differences may also make it harder for men to care for young children.
A new study from Harvard School of Public Health found that there is little historical evidence to justify cutting global health aid during economic downturns. In fact, some countries have increased their aid commitments during crises, contrary to fears of fiscal austerity.
The ESRC report 'Recovery Britain' examines challenges to the UK's economic recovery, including innovation, trade, finance for small businesses, management practices, and financial regulation. The report provides 20 key challenge areas and policy solutions.
The national job market for college graduates is expected to rebound slightly next year, with a 3% increase in hiring anticipated. Large corporations and small, fast-growth companies will drive the hiring growth, but caution should be exercised as it's just the first step out of the recession.
A majority of Americans supports increased spending on public health in general, but there is a partisan divide and divisions within specific areas. Meanwhile, most people believe the US is not spending enough on improving and protecting public health, and many see long-term savings from measures to improve health and prevention.
Rice University scientists used evolutionary theory to show that globalization makes the global economy more sensitive to recessionary shocks and recovers more slowly from them. The researchers found a trend of increasing modularity in the trade network since 1969, but also a brief increase in modularity after each recession.
The US hourly workforce is shouldering increased burdens during the economic slowdown, with many workers forced to accept reduced hours or irregular schedules. This lack of job security and predictability can have severe consequences for workers' well-being, including instability in family routines and increased stress.
State agencies and universities nationwide will receive funding to upgrade their volcano monitoring networks, producing high-resolution maps of high-threat volcanoes and analyzing recent eruption data. This investment aims to provide more reliable information for emergency responders and create jobs in the equipment manufacturing sector.
Research published in Strategic Organization highlights micro-level underpinnings of macroeconomic events, arguing that traditional theories are inadequate. The authors propose a new approach based on heterogeneous resources and capabilities, which can help resolve the current crisis.

Carbon dioxide emissions from human activities reached an all-time high of 1.3 tonnes of carbon per capita per year in 2008, driven mainly by increased use of coal. The global effort to reduce emissions from human activity must be accelerated to avoid the worst-case scenario of climate change.
Steve Kaplan predicts lower default rates and higher recoveries in private equity deals due to increased efficiency and operating value. The industry can prevent overpriced deals by promoting larger equity commitments from financial sponsors.
Scientists have recovered uranium from polluted waters using bacteria and inositol phosphate, a cheap waste material. The process is economically viable, especially as the world price of uranium is likely to increase, offering an environmental protection benefit.
Yale University has received over 100 research grants totaling $36 million since February 2009. These grants will fund groundbreaking research projects addressing devastating illnesses such as autism, autoimmune disease, and brain disorders.

The vessel will enable scientists to study global issues like sea-level rise and climate change affecting Alaska's fisheries and ecosystems.
A new study found that local governments issue more traffic citations when revenue falls, as a means of generating additional income. The research controlled for demographic and economic differences, revealing a statistically significant correlation between revenue shortfalls and increased ticket issuance.
A recent study documents significant increases in El Salvador's wooded areas since the 1990s, driven by population movements and remittances. The research found that households receiving foreign funds felt less need to maintain existing fields, resulting in reduced land clearing and forest regrowth.
Researchers discovered a reversible 'breathing' action in nanoporous materials, with a 230% increase in volume, similar to the lungs' function. The materials can be expanded by immersing them in solvents, and then reversed by heating, exhibiting remarkable selectivity in gas absorption.
A recent study by Ohio State University researchers suggests that publicizing the names and locations of grocery stores where recalled meat has been sold could increase recovery rates. The Food Safety and Inspection Service is proposing a new rule to require this information.
Researchers found that Reading Recovery helped African-American and poor children reach average reading levels for first-graders in 16-20 weeks. The intervention narrowed the achievement gap along racial-ethnic and economic lines, with all students catching up to average levels.
The chemical industry is expected to experience increased production and demand, leading to historic levels of growth in the US, Canada, and Asia-Pacific. In contrast, European chemical industries are forecasted to exhibit modest growth due to economic constraints.
The US economy is expected to experience strong growth in the coming years, driven by rising consumer confidence and labor productivity. According to Dr. James Smith, a leading economist, real GDP growth will be around 4.0 percent this year, with some countries such as Argentina and Mexico growing faster than predicted.
A team of experts from UC Berkeley's engineering school have developed a machine to zap static cling, allowing fragile ancient papyrus documents to survive. The recovery includes royal proclamations, land transactions, and literary texts from the third century B.C., dating back thousands of years.
The Endangered Species Act's economic impacts are unclear due to inadequate data, according to a University of Wyoming economist. The lack of scientifically-based national estimates of the economic benefits of most listed species limits decision-making.
