This paper analyses the enduring impact of neighbourhood deprivation on youth development, exploring multigenerational aspects often overlooked in existing research. I investigate how neighbourhood environments experienced across two generations impact youth outcomes, focussing on cognitive skills and socio-emotional behaviour. Using data from the 1958 National Child Development Study in the UK, this study employs a Regression with Residuals (RWR) design to comprehensively assess any long-lasting effects.

Premise: Tree structure and function are constrained by and acclimate to climatic conditions. Drought limits plant growth and carbon acquisition and can result in "legacy" effects that last beyond the period of water stress. Leaf and twig-level legacy effects of past water abundance, such as that experienced by trees that established under wetter conditions are unknown.

Historical origins of corruption in the Romanian public health system - path dependency and contagion effect.

Background: In this paper, we estimate the long-lasting influence of the former Habsburg Empire's border on the territory of Romania, specifically on the prevalence of corrupt behaviour and practices in health services.
Methods: Employing microdata from the 2016 Life in Transition Survey and applying ordered probit regression, we explore the hypothesis that the geographical proximity of respondents' residences to the former imperial border-restricting the analysis within a bandwidth of 50 km, 75 km or even 100 km on either side - significantly influences current individual tendencies towards corrupt behaviour.
Results: The results indicate that individuals in Transylvania living in the immediate vicinity of the former border of the Habsburg Empire (no more than 75 km away) show a higher propensity towards corrupt behaviours, similar to those from Moldova and Wallachia who reside in the same bandwidth but to the east of the former historical border.
