Harvesting benefits: Exploring the effects of second‐best policies on enhancing soil organic carbon stocks in agriculture

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

Back(reaction) to the future in the Unruh-de Sitter state

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
Motivated by black hole physics, we define the Unruh state for a scalar field in de Sitter space. Like the Bunch-Davies state, the Unruh-de Sitter state appears thermal to a static observer.

Leading slow roll corrections to the volume of the universe and the entropy bound

open access: yes, 2013
We make an extension to recent calculations of the probability density \rho(V) for the volume of the universe after inflation. Previous results have been accurate to leading order in the slow roll parameters \epsilon=\dot{H}/H^2 and \eta=\ddot{\phi ...

Web3 and Demurrage Money

open access: yesThe American Journal of Economics and Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the application of demurrage money, a concept developed by Silvio Gesell, into Web3. Demurrage money, designed to discourage the hoarding of currency and prevent economic stagnation and concentrations in wealth, offers a potential remedy for the problems of traditional fiat and gold‐backed monetary systems.

Developing Predictive and Explainable Models for Cryptocurrency Delistings: A Case Study of Binance Exchange

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Financial Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This study develops an explainable machine learning model to predict cryptocurrency delistings using Binance data. It combines quantitative indicators (price, volume) with qualitative data from real‐time news and Reddit. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is used to extract topic trends and community reactions, which are transformed into time ...

The Biological Big Bang model for the major transitions in evolution

open access: yesBiology Direct, 2007
Background Major transitions in biological evolution show the same pattern of sudden emergence of diverse forms at a new level of complexity. The relationships between major groups within an emergent new class of biological entities are hard to decipher ...

Towards a gauge invariant volume-weighted probability measure for eternal inflation

open access: yes, 2007
An improved volume-weighted probability measure for eternal inflation is proposed. For the models studied in this paper it leads to simple and intuitively expected gauge-invariant results.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figs, few misprints corrected, comments ...

The hole in the doughnut: Formalizing and testing a key model of degrowth

open access: yesContemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Degrowth scholars often claim that capitalism generates social and ecological imbalances, as captured by Kate Raworth's leading doughnut model. We formalize this model using social and environmental indices and measure imbalances using their coefficient of variation.

Marginally Eternal Inflation

open access: yes, 2007
We examine the amount of parameter tuning to make slow-roll inflation marginally eternal by considering an R-invariant chaotic inflation as an example of one-parameter tuning in supergravity. The primordial inflation turns out to be possibly marginal in such a setup.
