Henning Hermes, Philipp Lergetporer, Frauke Peter, & Simon Wiederhold: "Behavioral Barriers and the Socioeconomic Gap in Child Care Enrollment"

Welcome to the Brown Bag Seminar in Economics organized by the Department of Economics, SSE. The seminar speaker is Gosia Majewska, Toulouse School of Economics (ENTER), presenting "Merger and Advertising in the Pharmaceutical Industry".

We find that `"crime communities'' depend both on the crime typology and time.
