Women's wages do not grow with experience or tenure as much as men's do. Many accounts of this cumulative gender disadvantage attribute it to women's underinvestment in firm-specific skills. Yet if that were true, this disadvantage would no...
Sequencing and its consequences: path dependence and the relationships between genetics and medicalization [0.03%]
测序及其影响：路径依赖和遗传与医学化之间的关系

Both advocacy for and critiques of the Human Genome Project assume a self-sustaining relationship between genetics and medicalization. However, this assumption ignores the ways in which the meanings of genetic research are conditional on it...
