Estimating Yield Curves by Kernel Smoothing Methods [PDF]
We introduce a new method for the estimation of discount functions, yield curves and forward curves for coupon bonds. Our approach is nonparametric and does not assume a particular functional form for the discount function although we do show how to ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Selective CO formation in bicarbonate electrolysis is achieved by retaining reactive CO2 and tuning pH, while the competing hydrogen evolution reaction occurs at the interface. The rate‐determining step couples the chemical equilibrium of bicarbonate/CO2 with electrochemical charge transfer, offering insight into optimizing reaction conditions for ...

Pay-performance Sensitivity and Firm Size: Insights From the Mutual Fund Industry [PDF]
, 2010 I examine the ex ante decision to make an agent\u27s pay-performance sensitivity an inverse function of organization size. I focus on mutual funds and their decision to use compensation contracts that reduce the advisor\u27s marginal compensation as the ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study develops a co‐precipitation followed by hydrothermal synthesis strategy for synthesizing Co3O4 catalyst with multiple high‐index facets. Experiments and density functional theory calculations demonstrate that Co3+ on the (400–400) facet can form a novel active Co3+‐O* motif during the reaction.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.TarPass provides a rigorous benchmark for target‐aware de novo molecular generation by jointly evaluating protein‐ligand interactions, molecular plausibility, and drug‐likeness on 18 well‐studied targets. Results show that current models often fail to consistently surpass random baseline in target‐specific enrichment, while post hoc multi‐tier virtual ...

How Can We Improve Evaluation Methods for Public Infrastructure? [PDF]
Given the smaller total budget for public expenditure and the fact that the cost of public funds to Ireland has increased, it is more important than ever to ensure that public investment is prioritised properly in order to derive maximum benefit. Inorder

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Amid rising food and fertilizer prices, understanding farmers' policy preferences is critical for effective crisis response. We use best‐worst scaling experiment to assess Kenyan mobile‐owning crop farmers' preferences for government support under high and normal price scenarios.

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Estimates of reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from lower demand for cattle‐based products must account for substitution effects. This study collected data through two surveys—one on ground beef and another on dairy milk—to evaluate substitution effects and potential GHG reductions.

Tax Policy and Farm Organization
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) introduced substantial changes to the tax code, affecting farms' organizational incentives. This study examines farms' responses to the TCJA along extensive and intensive margins, focusing on organizational and labor expense adjustments.

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We link American Community Survey and SNAP records for 185,000 units with ground‐sourced social food infrastructure data from FindFoodIL (Illinois Extension SNAP‐Ed) to examine SNAP participation determinants among eligible units. Bivariate probit models reveal, beyond SNAP offices, quantity of social infrastructure is associated with ...
