The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Demonstrating the existence of a soaring demand for strategic materials in fifteenth‐century Rome, the article pioneers research in the late medieval trade in saltpetre, the irreplaceable, rare component of gunpowder, indispensable for waging war following the diffusion of artillery technology.

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract This essay aims to reveal the conceptual unity of an ensemble of concepts of organic, animal, and anthropological life articulated by the young Karl Marx between 1842 and 1844. To lay the groundwork for my analysis, I begin with Marx's general account of “life as activity.” I argue that Marx articulates a hylomorphic theory of organic form in ...

ESG, Bank Debt and Firm Value: A Signaling Perspective
Journal of International Financial Management &Accounting, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper delves into the influence of bank debt in shaping the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and a firm's value. As a result of the superior informational and monitoring functions of bank borrowers in their lending relationships, we argue that a firm's degree of bank debt might signal the ...

Proximity to War: The Stock Market Response to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.Abstract We identify a “proximity penalty” in the stock market response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine: the closer countries are to Ukraine, the lower their equity returns in a four‐week window around the start of the war. This result holds even at the firm level within Ukraine's neighbors. Trade linkages explain two‐thirds of the proximity penalty.

Of Carcasses and Christ: Rereading the Repugnant Ecological Other
Journal of Religious Ethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This essay claims that a collection of hunting and fishing devotionals provincializes a common trope in environmental literatures: the figure of the repugnantly anti‐ecological conservative Protestant. A close reading of these texts reveals their authors’ and ideal audiences’ extensive knowledge of land and animal minds, which deflates their ...
