Subsistence hunting shapes the spatial variation of jaguar densities in community‐managed forests
Jaguars and people can coexist in community‐managed forests, but distance matters. In Guatemala's Maya Biosphere Reserve, jaguar numbers increased markedly in areas harder to reach on foot, yet jaguars were still found near communities, showing that responsibly managed forests can support jaguar populations while allowing people to maintain traditional

Employee Fraud and the Statute of Limitations in a Search and Matching Model
ABSTRACT This paper integrates employee fraud into a Mortensen‐Pissarides search and matching model to analyze labor market dynamics under imperfect legal enforcement. We introduce a time‐dependent punishment structure where the offender's effective liability is governed by the statute of limitations. We characterize both short‐ and long‐run equilibria,
