90 Pages Posted: 27 May 2025 Date Written: May 01, 2025 Abstract We examine how selection bias in CEO promotion amplifies risk-taking, using prenatal exposure to pollution as an exogenous shock to individual risk preferences. CEOs born in future Superfund sites are more likely to be promoted internally, suggesting firms reward observed success without recognizing underlying risk tolerance. These "Superfund CEOs" excel in internal roles but pursue riskier external policies once promoted-leadin

Nearly a decade ago, I started waking up with back pain. Often it was just an ache, but some mornings it hurt so much I could barely get out of bed. I found out I have two permanent conditions in my spine: scoliosis, a sideways curvature that developed in my mid-twenties (usually teens develop it, but that didn't stop me in my twenties), and spondylosis in my lower spine, which is abnormal wear and tear on the cartilage. Both caused serious pain overnight, and I assumed it was just something I’d

Booting the RP2350 from UART The RP2350 is a nice microcontroller from Raspberry Pi. Recently I thougt about a new project, where a lot of PWM channels would be needed. The RP2350B has 24 PWM channels, which is a lot - but not enough. I would need at least 33 PWM channels, and also some more GPIOs, so the RP2350 alone isn't enough. So I thought about a port expander... But what about using a second RP2350 as a port expander? The chip is relatively cheap (about $0.90), needs few components arou
