Welfare consequences of the compound risks of index insurance

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Index insurance is an attractive variant on the standard insurance contract that allows the determination of a loss event to be defined by one or more thresholds on an index that is positively correlated with actual losses. Index insurance also comes with a compound risk, basis risk.

Endogenous Distress Contagion in a Dynamic Interbank Model: How Possible Future Losses May Spell Doom Today

open access: yesMathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce a dynamic and stochastic interbank model with an endogenous notion of distress contagion, arising from rational worries about future defaults and ensuing losses. This entails a mark‐to‐market valuation adjustment for interbank claims, leading to a forward‐backward approach to the equilibrium dynamics whereby future default ...

Anselm's Temporal‐Ontological Proof

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In his Reply to Gaunilo, Anselm presented two additional arguments for the existence of God beyond those that appear in the Proslogion. In “The Logical Structure of Anselm's Argument,” Robert M. Adams isolates each. One, he develops into a modal ontological argument along the lines of other 20th century ontological arguments (e.g., those of ...

Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Evolution of crop phenotypic spaces through domestication

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary We used domestication as an in vivo replicated experiment to investigate how divergent selection has shaped the evolution of multivariate phenotypic spaces. We measured 11–57 qualitative and quantitative traits in 13 species, either unique or shared between species, and established a framework for cross‐species comparisons. Our results revealed
