Running towards: Labour market incentives for runaway slaves in the British Cape Colony, 1830–1838

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent scholarship on slave escapes has increasingly emphasised economic motivation, but few studies have empirically investigated how market incentives influenced the decision‐making of enslaved individuals during transitions from coerced to wage labour.

Buyers' response to third‐party quality certification: Theory and evidence from Ethiopian wheat traders

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract When quality attributes of a product are not directly observable, third‐party certification (TPC) enables buyers to distinguish between quality levels and reward sellers accordingly. We study the adoption of TPC by traders in smallholder‐based agricultural value chains in low‐income countries, where traders aggregate products from many small ...

Experience and self‐interest: Diverging responses to global warming

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract People are increasingly feeling global warming's effects through extreme heat and natural disasters. How do these climate shocks affect political attitudes? We argue that the effect of climate‐related experiences depends significantly on self‐interest.

Carbon Sequestration Potential in Abandoned Coal Mines

As global efforts intensify to combat climate change, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has emerged as a key strategy to reduce atmospheric CO₂ emissions. Abandoned coal mines offer a novel and potentially large-scale option for underground CO₂ sequestration. This study investigates the geological, technical, and environmental feasibility of repurposing

Response of Remote Tropical West Pacific Islands to Climate Variability: A Multiproxy Record From T‐Lake, Palau, Spanning the Early Holocene to Present

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake sediments are natural archives of past environmental dynamics and how these systems have responded to past climate variability. Sediment geochemistry, governed by local geology and climate processes, is unique to each lake‐catchment and geochemical proxies must be validated for each study site.
