Consequently, attempts to freeze assets linked to unlawful activity can occasionally produce unintended consequences, leaving legitimate users with restricted funds despite facing no allegations of wrongdoing. “Often, legitimate funds are only frozen by accident,” he said, adding: “…

Genetics seems to drive individual differences in the marginal benefits and costs of schooling. The evidence suggests that fluid intelligence and self-control partly mediate the relationship between the PGI and education. Genetic effects are economically meaningful, comparable in size to effects of family environment. Source…
