No Cocoa Without Deforestation? A Field‐Type Analysis of Forest Frontiers in West Africa

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyses the interrelations of production systems, class relations and deforestation in a smallholder forest frontier. Using the concept of field types, we provide a plot‐level analysis of deforestation processes in West Africa, where smallholders convert forest into cocoa farms.

The Power of State Capitalism: Political Regime Shifts and Divergent Outcomes in SOE Performance

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The extent to which governments should intervene in state‐owned enterprises (SOEs), and the consequences of such intervention for firm performance, remain subjects of ongoing scholarly debate. Building on competing perspectives that view the state as either a strategist or a liability, we argue that the effects of state intervention depend on ...

Reinforcement Learning for Jump‐Diffusions, With Financial Applications

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study continuous‐time reinforcement learning (RL) for stochastic control in which system dynamics are governed by jump‐diffusion processes. We formulate an entropy‐regularized exploratory control problem with stochastic policies to capture the exploration–exploitation balance essential for RL.

A High‐Throughput Phenotyping Pipeline for Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) Panicles Using Image Analysis With Convolutional Neural Networks

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quinoa is a grain crop with excellent nutritional properties that has attracted global attention for its potential contribution to future food security in a changing climate. Despite its long history of cultivation, quinoa has been improved little by modern breeding and is a niche crop outside its native cultivation area.
