A field experiment into the cheating habits of undergraduate students sheds new light on the use of threats and sanctions to curb dishonest scholastic behavior. Georgia Tech School of Economics professor Daniel Dench, along with Theodore Joyce at Baruch College, published the research online in the February 14, 2022 issue of Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization. They conclude that a professor informing students that the school has the means to detect cheating has little effect.

Despite earning more than half of all doctoral degrees conferred in the U.S., women are significantly underrepresented in faculty positions at colleges and universities. This is particularly true in tenure-track and tenured positions, with women making up just over a third of all full professors. Women are also less likely to receive tenure or be promoted to full professor, a situation known as the academic “leaky pipeline,” where women’s representation continues to decline the further they advance in their careers.

Professor and School Chair Laura Taylor's paper "Utility-Scale Solar Farms and Agricultural Land Values" was accepted into the journal Land Economics. She writes:

Fly ash is a byproduct of burning pulverized coal in electric power generating plants. It can be a pollutant when carried in the exhaust gases from the plant chimneys or stored at large external containment sites, but collected fly ash may be reused to make cement, bricks, roads and bridges.
