Redistributive land reforms, agricultural productivity, and structural change: New cross‐national evidence

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Spectral gap of the Erlang A model in the Halfin-Whitt regime

open access: yesStochastic Systems, 2012
We consider a hybrid diffusion process that is a combination of two Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes with different restraining forces. This process serves as the heavy-traffic approximation to the Markovian many-server queue with abandonments in the ...

The role of venture‐financed startups in innovation for US agriculture

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract To evaluate the role played by startup companies in the innovation ecosystem of US agriculture, we compile a unique dataset of 6024 new entrants founded 1987–2019 that details their financing lifecycles, annual economic performance, and patenting activities.

"An Asymptotic Expansion with Malliavin Weights: An Application to Pricing Discrete Barrier Options" [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper proposes a new approximation method for pricing barrier options with discrete monitoring under stochastic volatility environment. In particular, the integration-by-parts formula in Malliavin calculus is effectively applied in an asymptotic ...

Long‐term demography and spatial genetic structure reveal mechanisms of Sassafras albidum population persistence through clonality

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Vegetative regeneration is a key mechanism of woody plant persistence in forest ecosystems, and the coupled roles of basal sprouting and clonal growth in shaping long‐term population dynamics have been understudied. Basal sprouting replaces stems at fixed ramet locations, whereas clonal growth via root suckering produces spatially ...

Asymptotic properties of the Bernstein density copula for dependent data [PDF]

open access: yes
Copulas are extensively used for dependence modeling. In many cases the data does not reveal how the dependence can be modeled using a particular parametric copula. Nonparametric copulas do not share this problem since they are entirely data based.

Pollination by long‐proboscid horseflies and its implications for reproductive isolation among coflowering Satyrium orchids in South Africa

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Floral adaptations to pollinators can drive lineage diversification and promote coexistence of species. We investigated the reproductive biology of Satyrium longicolle, a South African orchid that we hypothesized to belong to a long‐proboscid horsefly pollination guild and examined overlap of pollinators and floral traits among ...

The negative discrete spectrum of a class of two-dimensional Schrödinger operators with magnetic fields

open access: yes, 2005
We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of negative eigenvalues of a class of two-dimensional Schrodinger operators with small magnetic fields. This number increases as a coupling constant of the magnetic field tends to zero.

Late Cytomegalovirus Infections After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (ptCY) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) prophylaxis with letermovir have changed the clinical epidemiology of CMV infection. We studied the incidence, risk factors for, and outcomes of CMV infection after Day + 90 of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (alloHCT ...
