AbstractThis paper analyzes buying decisions when consumers consider the risk that a bottle of wine may be cork-tainted. Drawing on a sample of 804 subjects, we examine the role of gender, price level, and subjects’ country of origin and their personal cork-taint risk assessments. We find that women assess the cork-taint risk higher than men but are still more likely to buy bottles with cork closures. Young consumers from Asia are more risk-averse than people from Western countries. Gender and regional differences vanish for wines in higher price brackets. (JEL Classifications: C90, D12, L66)

Gastric Cancer Patients

4110 Background: The clinical significance of cancer stem cells (CSC) has been well established; however, its prognostic role remains controversial. CD44 is recognized as a CSC marker in gastric cancer (GC) and, recently, the clinical impact of CD166 in GC was reported. Our group previously reported SNPs of CD44 and CD166 are associated with outcome in US patients (pts) with adjuvant GC and colorectal cancer, respectively. Since GC has regional differences in epidemiology and clinicopathology, we hypothesized that ethnicity and regional differences in GC could influence the prognostic role of CD44 and CD166. Methods: A total of 369 pts with histopathologically-confirmed localized (stage Ib to IV; AJCC-6th) GC were enrolled from Japan (n=169), the US (n=137), and Austria (n=63) between 2002 and 2010. CD44 rs187116 G>A and CD166 rs1157 G>A were analyzed. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood or tissue, and all samples were analyzed by PCR-based direct DNA-sequencing. Results: Pts homozygous for A/A CD44rs187116 (n=20) showed a median OS of 2.0 yrs vs not reached for patients harboring at least one-G allele (n=144) (HR: 2.87 [95%CI: 1.61-5.13], p<0.001) in Japanese cohort, while pts homozygous A/A (n=30) showed a median OS of 7.3 yrs vs 4.1 yrs for pts harboring at least one-G allele (n=94) (HR: 2.0 [95%CI: 0.90-4.55], p=0.079) in the US cohort. There were no significant differences in Austrian cohort alone or in combination with US cohort. In CD166 rs1157, pts harboring at least one-A allele (n=27) showed a median OS of 3.9 yrs vs not reached for pts homozygous G/G (n=142) (HR: 1.81 [95%CI: 1.05-3.12], p=0.033) in Japanese cohort., Although there were no significant differences in the US or Austrian cohort when analyzed separately, combining cohorts demonstrated that pts homozygous A/A (n=12) showed a median OS of not reached yrs vs 4.7 yrs for pts harboring at least one-G allele (n=179) (HR: 5.00 [95%CI: 0.70-35.95], p=0.073). Conclusions: SNP profiles in CSC markers predicted opposite prognostic outcomes in patients with GC among Asian and Western countries. This is the first report suggesting that the prognostic role of CSC markers in GC may differ based on ethnic groups or etiology differences.

Chapter four turns to a more intimate form of affiliation than either nation or community: family. The period from the 1970s onward has produced the greatest concentration of cycles since modernism, because writers embraced the cycle to express the contingency of being ethnic and American. Family, rather than community or time, is the dominant linking structure for many of these cycles, reflecting how immigration laws placed family and education above country of origin. This chapter focuses on the role of family in the production and reception of Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club (1989), Julie Alvarez’s How the García Girls Lost Their Accents (1991), and Jhumpa Lahiri’s Unaccustomed Earth (2008). These cycles argue that subjectivity—and by extension gender and ethnic attachments—derives not only from biological relationships but also from “formative kinship,” which originates in shared experiences that the characters choose to value.

SUMMARY We obtain a novel dataset of workplace satisfaction ratings submitted by about 100,000 employees working for large public U.S. companies. We document that lower workplace ratings are associated with higher audit fees and longer audit report lags. Lower workplace ratings also increase the likelihood of firms receiving modified going concern opinions. Our study shows that organizational workplace environments affect auditor risk assessments and auditing outcomes and provide insights for practicing auditors and corporate executives. Our interviews with practicing auditors at large U.S. accounting firms also provide insights as to how workplace quality affects the corporate audit. JEL Classifications: G3; J28; M14; M42.

Moderating Role

Raghunathan and Pham conducted a pioneer study in 1999 on the motivational influences of anxiety and sadness on decision making and indicated that anxiety would motivate individuals to be risk averse, whereas sadness would motivate individuals to be risk taking. A replication study was employed in the domain of perceived travel risk. Compared to participants in a neutral mood, anxious participants showed higher perceived travel risk than sad participants. Moreover, the differential effect of anxiety and sadness on perceived travel risk was only pronounced under the high personal relevance condition, in which participants made personal decisions and expected that they would be affected by the outcomes. In general, the results extend the notion proposed by Raghunathan and Pham suggesting that travelers' implicit goals primed by anxiety or sadness used for mood-repair purposes appear to be moderated by personal relevance.

The United States has enacted economic sanctions against North Korea since the early 1950s when North Korea attacked South Korea. Can North Korea be pressured into giving up its nuclear weapons? This article discusses the role of economic sanctions as a tool of international diplomacy with North Korea. Using concepts and tools taught in undergraduate economics classes, the article discusses the operation of sanctions and then it applies this analysis to the case of North Korea. The article examines the success that sanctions have achieved in bringing Kim Jong Un to the bargaining table and the difficulties that sanctions encounter in promoting a lasting resolution of the conflict between North Korea and the United States. The article is written for a broad audience of economics students. JEL Classifications: F0, F1
