Qatar’s immigrants at higher risk of diabetes حسب Nature Research (16552612)

"…The researchers stress, however, that their preliminary results should be confirmed in future studies involving larger numbers of participants. 1 “We would advise the Qatari government to screen all immigrants entering the country, as this would decrease the risk of unnecessary complications due to the late diagnosis of diabetes,” says lead author Dennis Mook-Nakamori. …"

Why do some countries produce more capital intensive output than others? حسب Toukan, Amjad

"…The intuitive explanation of my hypothesis is that the risk of expropriation by corrupt government officials is higher in the case of capital-intensive projects due to the larger size of the prize (many economists argue that it is easier for a corrupt government official to expropriate large non-standard capital-intensive projects as opposed to smaller standardized labor-intensive projects), so in countries where the quality of governance is low, investors prefer to invest in labor-intensive projects with lower output per worker instead of capital-intensive projects with higher output per worker. …"
