Disasters, Dictators, and Donors: The Impact of Foreign Aid on Economic Activity (Mis)Reporting
ABSTRACT This paper examines how governments manipulate economic data to secure more foreign disaster aid. By using nighttime lighting as a reliable measure of economic activity, we make two key findings: (1) foreign disaster aid is positively linked to a country's understatement of its gross domestic product, indicating a deliberate strategy to ...

The Relationship Between Welfare and Capital Controls
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the relationship between welfare state and capital flow management. Complementing the literature on the implications of financial globalization for social protection, we argue that the coverage and priorities of welfare states matter more than the amount of spending when it comes to the degree of capital account ...

On computing local monodromy and the numerical local irreducible decomposition
Abstract Similarly to the global case, the local structure of a holomorphic subvariety at a given point is described by its local irreducible decomposition. Geometrically, the key requirement for obtaining a local irreducible decomposition is to compute the local monodromy action of a generic linear projection at the given point, which is always well ...

On the automorphisms of the power semigroups of a numerical semigroup
Abstract If H$H$ is a numerical semigroup (i.e., a cofinite subset of the non‐negative integers closed under addition), then the collection of all non‐empty subsets of H$H$ forms a semigroup P(H)$\mathcal {P}(H)$ under the sumset operation induced by addition in H$H$.

Context‐free graphs and their transition groups
Abstract Starting from context‐free inverse graphs, we introduce a new class of groups and study their structural properties. We establish closure properties, show that their coword problems are context‐free, analyze torsion elements, and realize them as subgroups of the asynchronous rational group.

Potential Links Between Physiological and Perceptual Strain in High Heat Stress
ABSTRACT The physiological strain index (PhSI) is widely used to quantify thermoregulatory and cardiovascular strain during heat stress. However, direct physiological measurements may not always be feasible in occupational or athletic settings.
