Food Security Strategy, Macroeconomic Dynamics and Food Import Sensitivity in Qatar

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Qatar has limited agricultural land and water resources and therefore remains highly dependent on food imports. This structural dependency makes Qatar vulnerable to external shocks such as the recent Gulf crisis, threatening food security and disrupting global supply chains. In response to previous shocks, Qatar started implementing a National

DeepMapper: Attention‐Based AutoEncoder for System Identification in Wound Healing and Stage Prediction

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
The authors develop a deep learning model for real‐time tracking of wound progression. The deep learning framework maps the nonlinear evolution of a time series of images to a latent space, where they learn a linear representation of the dynamics. The linear model is interpretable and suitable for applications in feedback control.

Towards Human‐Centered Intelligent Inhabitable Spaces: A Review

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review introduces Robot‐Rooms as a new category of architectural‐scale robots that do not operate within a space but actively form and reconfigure the space around their occupants. Drawing from robotics, HCI, architecture, and the arts, an interdisciplinary framework is proposed that maps the enabling technologies and integration challenges ...

Food inflation pass‐through from agricultural imports in a small open economy

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper develops a new framework for quantifying cost pass‐through in a small open economy by estimating firm‐level markup responses to agricultural import price shocks. We show theoretically that markup adjustments depend on firms' reliance on imported inputs and demand curvature, generating heterogeneous inflationary effects across firm ...

Preferential trading in agriculture: New insights from a structural gravity analysis and machine learning

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preferential trade agreements (PTAs) contain various non‐tariff provisions, yet identifying their trade effects remains challenging because these commitments are high‐dimensional and strongly correlated within agreements. We estimated a theory‐consistent structural gravity model with domestic flows for 26 agricultural subsectors over 1988–2017

Farm labor scarcity and its uneven impacts on crop producers in the United States

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study is the first to evaluate the impacts of farm labor scarcity on producers in the United States across different crop production systems. Between 2002 and 2017, we disentangle the effects of labor scarcity from the impacts of rising commodity demand, technological change, and supply of other inputs on labor market outcomes.
