Habitat use and diel activity of insectivorous bats across land‐cover types on an Afrotropical oceanic island

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Using acoustic surveys, we investigated habitat use and diel activity patterns of insectivorous bats across the main land‐use types of the endemic‐rich Príncipe Island, in Central West Africa. We sampled bat activity at 48 sites spanning old‐growth forests, secondary regrowth forests, shaded cocoa plantations, and horticultural areas.

Is economics self‐correcting? Replications in the American Economic Review

Economic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 463-485, April 2025.
Abstract This paper reviews the impact of replications published as comments in the American Economic Review between 2010 and 2020. We examine their citations and influence on the original papers' (OPs) subsequent citations. Our results show that comments are barely cited, and they do not affect the OP's citations—even if the comment diagnoses ...

Social distance and delegation: Does anonymity matter?

Economic Inquiry, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we report on two experimental studies that examine the impact of social distance on delegation and uncover the role of anonymity driving delegation in a principal‐agent setting. Study 1 shows that reducing the social distance makes principals less likely to delegate.

Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

Mergers and Acquisitions as Navigators of Climate Policy Shocks: Evidence from the NOx Budget Trading Program

Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how mergers and acquisitions (M&As) enable firms to adapt to climate policy shocks. Exploiting the adoption of the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Budget Trading Program (NBP) across US states as an exogenous shock, we find that firms with NOx‐emitting plants subject to the NBP are more likely to engage in M&As, particularly through vertical ...

Factors Influencing the Stocking of Juvenile Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Predator species of fish play crucial roles in ecosystem balance through top‐down control, a mechanism frequently exploited in biomanipulation to stock predator species. Juvenile pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) were stocked (n = 52,887) in spring 2023 and 2024 and autumn 2023 to compare stocking efficiency between Recirculation Aquaculture ...

Flexible Contract, Flexible Morale? Microcredit Design and Repayment Discipline

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flexible repayment benefits borrowers, but practitioners fear increased moral hazard. Investigating their concerns requires disentangling repayment choices from repayment capacity, which is typically infeasible in field studies. We use a lab‐in‐the‐field experiment with 645 microcredit borrowers to cleanly identify the effect of repayment ...

College Financial Aid Application Frictions

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We document that 11 percent of recent U.S. high school graduates did not apply for federal student aid due to difficulty in applying, mistaken beliefs, or lack of awareness. Not applying due to such application frictions negatively predicts college enrollment after controlling for other attributes.

Strategic delegation and risk‐taking in R&D: Partial delegation versus full delegation

International Journal of Economic Theory, EarlyView.
Abstract We examine firm's risk‐taking decisions in R&D under two different delegation strategies between partial delegation (PD) and full delegation (FD): FD authorizes both quantity and R&D risk but PD only authorizes quantity. Cournot firms under the FD set higher profit weights at the expected value of cost realization, which can lessen competition,
