Quota Trading and Profitability: Theoretical Models and Applications to Danish Fisheries [PDF]

open access: yes
Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), we provide a framework to analyze the potential gains from quota trading. We compare the industry profit and structure before and after a free trade reallocation of production quotas.

Attending to Preservice Teachers' Assets: Beliefs and Practices for Supporting Expansive Sensemaking in Elementary Science

open access: yesScience Education, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 756-779, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Preservice elementary science teachers' beliefs and practices influence the kinds of adaptations they make to curriculum materials and the extent to which they are able to enact justice‐oriented science lessons. Through this qualitative study, we explored the beliefs and practices of five focal preservice teachers through an analysis of their ...

Fractional regression models for second stage DEA efficiency analyses [PDF]

open access: yes
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is commonly used to measure the relative efficiency of decision-making units. Often, in a second stage, a regression model is estimated to relate DEA efficiency scores to exogenous factors. In this paper, we argue that the

Gaining insights into MmpL3: combining structural and computational approaches to unlock transport and inhibitor‐binding mechanisms

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 550-570, May 2026.
This study investigates the mycobacterial membrane protein MmpL3, a key target for new antituberculosis drugs, by combining high‐resolution crystallography and computational simulations. It reveals how the inhibitor UPAR‐1109 binds to MmpL3, providing detailed insights into the function and flexibility of the protein and supporting the rational design ...

What are the carbon services from cover‐crop adoption worth from farmers' perspective?

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 3, Page 901-925, May 2026.
Abstract We derive shadow prices of carbon services provided by cover crops relative to non‐cover‐crop agricultural practices, accounting for carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We model the agricultural technology by integrating crop production, carbon sequestration, and GHG emissions.

Comparing the Productive Efficiency of Cooperatives and Private Enterprises: The Portuguese Wine Industry as a Case Study [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper compares the efficiency of cooperatives and private enterprises in the Portuguese wine industry, employing data envelopment analysis (DEA). The use of DEA for the analysis of comparative efficiency within a sector is a key tool in evaluating ...

Optimal timing and rate of nitrogen fertilizer use: An integrated network technology approach

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 3, Page 856-873, May 2026.
Abstract Both the rate and timing of crop fertilizer application play an important role in agricultural productivity. However, inefficient fertilizer use can significantly increase production costs, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. To capture both the spatial heterogeneity and dynamic nature of this problem, we develop a multi‐stage ...

MEASURING THE PERFORMANCE OF TWO-STAGE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS WITH SHARED INPUTS BY DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS [PDF]

open access: yes
As a non-parametric technique in Operations Research and Economics, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) evaluates the relative efficiency of peer production systems or decision making units (DMUs) that have multiple inputs and outputs.

Nonparametric efficiency and artificial intelligence techniques in higher education: a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1427-1464, May 2026.
Abstract In a sector that needs to work as efficient as possible, artificial intelligence (AI) can guide the efficiency improvements of higher education institutions (HEIs). This paper explores both the AI literature and the efficiency literature as applied to HEIs following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review guidelines. The goal is to
