The article discusses Provine’s studies that explored contagious yawning, one of which found eighty-eight per cent of people who were instructed to think of yawns yawned themselves within thirty minutes. It also examines how the contagious nature of yawning may be …</div>

The authors write that Provine’s research helps illustrate the reasons human laugh usually aren’t in response to something that is humorous. “Provine discovered that the laughter of our everyday lives isn’t for the most part in response to anything resembling jokes,” the authors …</div>

<Title>Dennis Coates, Economics, on Econ Journal Watch</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Economics Professor Dennis Coates was recently a guest on an Econ Journal Watch podcast discussing his research that found economists mostly frown on government subsidies for professional sports franchises, facilities and events.

During the interview, Coates commented on claims that sports stadiums bring economic benefits and prosperity to cities and their immediate metropolitan areas. “The evidence is that they are minimal at best, and may in fact even be negative,” Coates said. “We think of tangible benefits as job creation and income …</div>
