Electoral responses to economic crises
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract How do voters respond to economic crises: Do they turn against the incumbent, reward a certain political camp, polarize to the extremes, or perhaps continue to vote much like before? Analyzing extensive data on electorates, parties, and individuals in 24 countries for over half a century, we document a systematic pattern whereby economic ...

Magma volume, volatile emissions, and stratospheric aerosols from the 1815 eruption of Tambora [PDF]
, 2004 We suggest that the Tambora 1815 eruption was smaller than previously thought, yielding 30–33 km3 of magma. Valuable insight into the eruption is gained by comparing it to the much smaller 1991 Pinatubo event, which had a similar eruption style and rate.

Fleshing out Law: Embodied Encounters and the Material Geographies of Legal Space
Area, EarlyView.Short Abstract This article explores how legality is produced, negotiated and contested through embodied encounters in urban courtrooms. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in German district courts, it develops the modalities of appearing, suspending and filtering to analyse how bodies are made to perform, endure and navigate legal processes.

Chasing the perfida Albione: Anglo‐Italian productivity gap in the late 1930s
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents new estimates of Anglo‐Italian labour productivity levels in manufacturing in the late 1930s, derived using the standard single‐deflation approach. The findings confirm a substantial productivity gap between Italy and the United Kingdom at the aggregate level, alongside pronounced intersectoral heterogeneity.

Earth's rotation variability triggers explosive eruptions in subduction zones [PDF]
, 2015 The uneven Earth’s spinning has been reported to affect geological processes, i.e. tectonism, seismicity and volcanism, on a planetary scale. Here, we show that changes of the length of day (LOD) influence eruptive activity at subduction margins ...

Early‐Life Disaster Exposure and the Investment Response to Monetary Policy
Financial Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We place CEOs' formative experiences at the center of analyzing how firms respond to monetary policy. Specifically, we examine how early‐life exposure to natural disasters shapes CEOs’ investment behavior following monetary shocks. CEOs with exposure to moderate natural disasters during their formative years exhibit stronger risk‐taking ...
