What Are The Drivers of Labor Productivity in Italy?
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel sign restriction identification within a structural Bayesian vector autoregression (VAR) to analyse how labour productivity responds to supply and demand shocks and to quantify the contribution of shocks to cyclical fluctuations.

Inequality of Opportunity in a Multiperiod Framework
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper offers a simple model to evaluate and measure inequality of opportunity in a multiperiod framework, in which both circumstances and effort may change over time. We adopt a norm‐based approach and an axiomatic methodology: we first characterise two alternative definitions of a ‘fair distribution’, associated respectively with the ex ...

Public Administration, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in public decision‐making; yet existing governance tools often lack clear definitions of harm and benefit, practical methods for weighing competing values, and guidance for resolving value conflicts.

Difference‐Making Under Metaphysical Indeterminacy
Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many of the most pressing moral problems we face involve collective harms generated by large numbers of individually insignificant actions. Unlike triggering cases—where a threshold exists such that a single act could be decisive—non‐triggering cases lack any such sharp cutoff.

Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Two major tasks in applications of hidden Markov models are to (i) compute distributions of summary statistics of the hidden state sequence, and (ii) decode the hidden state sequence. We describe finite Markov chain imbedding (FMCI) and hybrid decoding to solve each of these two tasks.

Journal of Investigative Psychology and Offender Profiling, Volume 23, Issue 3, October 2026.ABSTRACT Commercial crime is a global problem and Commercial Forensic Practitioners (FPs) play a crucial role during the investigative process to investigate, detect and/or prevent this type of crime. Commercial forensic interviewing forms an integral and unavoidable part of any investigation process and is one of the most effective tools for obtaining

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 9, Page 2107-2157, September 2026.ABSTRACT The leading‐order asymptotic behavior of the solution of the Cauchy initial‐value problem for the Benjamin–Ono equation in L2(R)$L^2(\mathbb {R})$ is obtained explicitly for generic rational initial data u0$u_0$. An explicit asymptotic wave profile uZD(t,x;ε)$u^\mathrm{ZD}(t,x;\epsilon)$ is given, in terms of the branches of the multivalued ...

GAMM-Mitteilungen, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract This article investigates the modeling of metallic isotropic porous materials by evaluating and comparing macroscopic and microstructure‐resolved simulation approaches. At the macroscopic level, different variants of the Deshpande‐Fleck (DF) model are implemented to describe the elastoplastic behavior of metallic porous materials.

Colourings of Uniform Group Divisible Designs and Maximum Packings
Journal of Combinatorial Designs, Volume 34, Issue 9, Page 437-456, September 2026.ABSTRACT A weak c‐colouring of a design is an assignment of colours to its points from a set of c available colours, such that there are no monochromatic blocks. A colouring of a design is block‐equitable, if for each block, the number of points coloured with any available pair of colours differ by at most one.

Free semigroups of large critical exponent
Journal of Topology, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract For a convergence group equipped with an expanding coarse‐cocycle, we construct finitely generated free subsemigroups, which we call Bishop−−Jonessemigroups$\textit{Bishop--Jones semigroups}$, of critical exponent arbitrarily close to but strictly less than the critical exponent of the ambient group.
