Coloration Technology, Volume 142, Issue 1, Page 156-169, February 2026.Abstract This study aims to optimise the dyeing process of cotton fabrics using Mexican cochineal (Dactylopius coccus Costa). The objective is to obtain purple hues through the design of experiments and by using multivariate analysis. Plackett–Burman experimental designs and the response surface method were used to systematically optimise the dyeing ...

The World Economy, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 321-345, February 2026.ABSTRACT We address two important sources of bias that remain unaccounted for in most analyses of firm‐level productivity and trade policy; that is, omitted output price bias and demand shocks. Using firm‐level data that includes product‐level price and physical output measures, we mitigate the omitted output price bias typically encountered when using
