Emission Reporting for Agriculture: Frameworks and Metrics Matter
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Frameworks and metrics that reliably describe agricultural emission sources and carbon sinks are critical to the formulation of cost‐effective mitigation investment. This study identifies and compares three distinct emission reporting frameworks across metrics of total emissions and emissions intensity.

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract COVID‐19 has intensified interest in crisis policy learning, yet the micro‐level interactions among political, bureaucratic, and expert actors remain underexplored. We conceptualise an ideal‐type framework for the micro‐flow of crisis learning, an ordinarily epistemic and context‐specific process of individual‐level interactions, where lessons

Economic Record, EarlyView.We study the effects of heat and high temperature shocks on inflation in Australia using monthly, state‐level temperature anomaly data via two stages. In the first stage, we decompose temperature anomalies into orthogonal components using a structural vector autoregression with long‐run restrictions.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...
