Impact of Sovereign Debt Maturity on Fiscal Sustainability

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study is the first to investigate the impact of the term structure of public debt on fiscal sustainability. We adopt the widely used backward‐looking measure of fiscal sustainability—fiscal responsiveness as proposed by Bohn. Using data from De Graeve and Mazzolini and focusing on a sample of 19 most developed countries, we demonstrate ...

Characterization of river plume dynamics for a better water quality management

Frontiers in Marine Science
Excessive riverine nutrient inputs are a main driver of eutrophication in marine waters. Thus, identifying areas most affected by river plumes is a key challenge for effective water quality management.

Controls on zooplankton methane production in the central Baltic Sea [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2019
Several methanogenic pathways in oxic surface waters were recently discovered, but their relevance in the natural environment is still unknown. Our study examines distinct methane (CH4) enrichments that repeatedly occur below the thermocline during the ...

Examining New Donors in the OECD's Development Assistance Committee

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How do emerging donors integrate into the existing international aid architecture? While the existing literature focuses largely on emerging donors from the Global South, such as Brazil, China, India and Russia, there are many emerging donors from the Global North that have joined the OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC)—the premier ...

The Role of Knowledge‐Based Resources in Leveraging Business Analytics

Knowledge and Process Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Business analytics enhances managerial decision‐making. To this end, previous research guides firms to combine their tangible business analytics resources, such as data and technology, with intangible knowledge‐based business analytics resources to enable that business analytics supports decision‐making.

Comparison between fluorometry and microscopy‐based phytoplankton assessments in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Photosynthetic pigment fluorescence is commonly used in limnology and oceanography as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Fluorometry has been used to detect subsurface algal blooms, characterize dynamics of the deep chlorophyll layer, and to provide greater vertical resolution to phytoplankton monitoring.

Control of Vibrio vulnificus proliferation in the Baltic Sea through eutrophication and algal bloom management

Communications Earth & Environment
Due to climate change the pathogenic bacterium Vibrio vulnificus proliferates along brackish coastlines, posing risks to public health, tourism, and aquaculture. Here we investigated previously suggested regulation measures to reduce the prevalence of V.

The effects of seasonality and parasitism on diet and habitat selection in the common periwinkle

Oikos, EarlyView.
The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is an ecologically important grazer, known for its strong influence on algal communities and its role in structuring ecosystems. It serves as the first intermediate host for several trematode species in the Baltic Sea, especially for the fluke Cryptocotyle lingua.
