Visual, vestibular, and ocular motor changes during nitroglycerin‐triggered vestibular migraine
Plain Language Summary Vestibular migraine (VM) is a common cause of intermittent dizziness, but there have been no studies with provoked (induced) VM used to characterize how the vestibular and ocular (vision) systems interact. We injected 20 patients with VM with nitroglycerin to provoke an attack and used a specialized camera to record their eye ...

Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.

The Rising Tide Lifts Some Interest Rates: Climate Change, Natural Disasters, and Loan Pricing
ABSTRACT Banks adjust loan spreads after observing natural disasters linked to climate change. We isolate this updating process by identifying loans to borrowers at risk of, but not directly affected by, such disasters. Loan spreads for these borrowers spike in both primary and secondary markets, while no such updating occurs for non–climate‐related ...

How the Threat of Knowledge Loss Drives Firms’ R&D Dynamism: A Threat Rigidity Perspective
Abstract Drawing on threat rigidity theory, this paper argues that the threat of knowledge loss gives rise to a threat rigidity effect in firms’ R&D function, that is, reduces their R&D dynamism. It further argues that the dampening of R&D dynamism is greater for firms more vulnerable to the threat of knowledge loss due to facing greater product market

Abstract Prior studies on crisis management often highlight the adaptiveness of generalist leaders, whose diverse functional experiences allow for flexible and innovative responses. However, we propose that in situations where crises lead to abrupt shifts in dominant institutional pressures, leaders with specialized functional backgrounds potentially ...

Contingent capital: A tale of two valuations
Abstract This study investigates the valuation gap between buyers and sellers of insurers' contingent capital, driven by asymmetric exposures to tax benefits, capital injections, and bankruptcy costs. We develop a novel Twin‐Tree Model with Jumps (TTMJ) that models the insurer's asset value dynamics by incorporating catastrophe risk, insolvency risk ...

Abstract The relative rates of sexual versus clonal reproduction partition genetic diversity, but the quantification of these rates remains limited in natural populations. This knowledge gap is particularly acute among tropical macroalgae. Chondria tumulosa is a red macroalga that has been documented at high abundance in the three northernmost atolls ...

Supply Chain Coherence: Building Resilience for an Ever‐Changing World
ABSTRACT In this article, it is argued that a key to resilience is maintaining a coherent supply chain despite the multitude of—often unforeseeable—challenges it encounters. Because there is a dearth of literature focusing specifically on supply chain coherence, this research explores the meaning and conceptualization of coherence in related fields ...

Abstract The quantification and analysis of forced displacement, driven by political unrest or natural disasters, has become increasingly central to both humanitarian and demographic research. With displaced populations reaching record numbers, there is an urgent need for accurate and timely data on displacement patterns, particularly disaggregated by ...
