We used Bonferroni corrections for multiple comparisons with alpha set at 0.008 for each comparison of two TES components. We used continuous and not dichotomous versions of our trauma, SES, and stress variables in post-hoc analyses to more precisely examine the contribution of each variable by utilizing the full range of variability in each of the…

Ferrare and Setari also collected grant-making…

Journalistic accounts and my own elite interviews have highlighted the importance of mobilizing employees in the growing political sway of the marijuana industry, especially in states that have adopted adult-use legalization . A second reason members might support industries with a presence in their districts draws on the logic of structural power . Because their re-election prospects…

While the upshot of Tiebout’s model is generally positive, firms’ and individuals’ mobility across the federal system can also have negative consequences. Government competition for mobile individuals and firms can lead to a regulatory “race to the bottom” to the extent that governments seek to attract business investment, and believe that they can do so…

The mean age at baseline was 33 years and most participants were male; 25% were female and 78% had more than a 9th grade education. More men than women were employed. The monthly median income was 20,000 Rubles , approximately $550 USD at a conversion rate averaged over the time of survey administration , and women appeared more likely than men…
