Synthetic directed evolution for targeted engineering of plant traits.
Improving crop traits requires genetic diversity, which allows breeders to select advantageous alleles of key genes. In species or loci that lack sufficient genetic diversity, synthetic directed evolution (SDE) can supplement natural variation, thus ...

Random Carbon Tax Policy and Investment Into Emission Abatement Technologies
Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyze the problem of a profit‐maximizing electricity producer, subject to carbon taxes, who decides on investments into CO2$\rm CO_2$ abatement technologies. We assume that the carbon tax policy is random and that the investment in the abatement technology is divisible, irreversible, and subject to transaction costs.

Relative Arbitrage Opportunities With Interactions Among N Investors
Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The relative arbitrage portfolio outperforms a benchmark portfolio over a given time‐horizon with probability one. With market price of risk processes depending on the market portfolio and investors, this paper analyzes the multi‐agent optimization of relative arbitrage opportunities in the coupled system of market and wealth dynamics.

A Model of Strategic Sustainable Investment
Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study a problem of optimal irreversible investment and emission reduction formulated as a nonzero‐sum dynamic game between an investor with environmental preferences and a firm. The game is set in continuous‐time on an infinite‐time horizon.

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how bureaucratic strategies for structuring the policy environment shape regulatory outcomes, focusing on the extent to which agencies achieve their original policy preferences. Drawing on resource dependence theory and bureaucratic politics, we conceptualize the policy environment in two dimensions: internal ...

Likelihood Estimation for Stochastic Differential Equations with Mixed Effects
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Stochastic differential equations provide a powerful tool for modelling dynamic phenomena affected by random noise. When time series are observed for several experimental units, it is often the case that some of the parameters vary between the individual experimental units.
