Human skeletal muscle has large capacity to increase carnosine content in response to beta-alanine supplementation: a systematic review with Bayesian individual and aggregate data E-Max model and meta-analysis. bioRxiv [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1101/870584

Beta-alanine (BA) supplementation increases muscle carnosine content (MCarn) and is ergogenic in many situations. Currently, many questions on the nature of the Mcarn response to supplementation are open, and the responses to these have considerable...

Preprint / Working Paper
SHANAEV, S., SHARMA, S., SHURAEVA, A. and GHIMIRE, B. 2019. The marginal cost of mining, Metcalfe's law and cryptocurrency value formation: causal inferences from the instrumental variable approach. [Working paper]. SSRN [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3432431

This paper is the first to rigorously test commonly cited simplistic theories of cryptocurrency pricing, namely, cost-based model and Metcalfe's law, using causal inferences from the instrumental variables approach on block-level data for six proof-o...

This paper uses a unique dataset of 120 regulatory events from five classes to test the relevance of the regulatory framework for cryptocurrency value. Time-series market-wide estimates and panel estimates for 300 individual coins and tokens show sta... Read More about Taming the blockchain beast?
