Seasonality, stock returns and the macroeconomy
Article Abstract:
Seasonalities of stock returns in the United Kingdom are highly associated with seasonalities in expected returns. The presence of risk factors in seasonal months, such as January and December, is found to create an effect on the seasonality of expected returns. For the months of January and December, risks exist since they are considered as significant period in the annual business cycle. For the month of April, risks present are associated with changes in government regulation.

Are women less selfish than men?: evidence from dictator experiments
Article Abstract:
Women are less selfish than men as evidenced by their socially-oriented behavior. Utilization of a double-anonymous dictator experiment, which was developed to determine basic gender differences in economic behavior, revealed that women donate two times more than men to their anonymous partners when factors that might complicate cooperation are removed. The experiment also showed that men are more individually-oriented than women.
