Optimizing equity and efficiency in the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract This study addresses the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem, formulated as the strategic prepositioning of a heterogeneous aerial firefighting fleet across capacity‐constrained airbases. A novel bi‐objective model is proposed that simultaneously optimizes efficiency (aggregate risk‐weighted accessibility) and equity (minimized ...

Franco‐British Bilateral Diplomacy After Brexit, 2020–2025: Mending the Ties That Bind
JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Brexit shook to its very core one of the European Union's (EU's) prominent partnerships, the Franco‐British bilateral relationship (FBBR), disrupting diplomatic routines and shattering interpersonal trust before circumstances changed and the relationship rapidly began to mend. In this article, we analyse the breakdown and restoration of Franco‐

Quality Regulation and Unexpected Gaming: Evidence From Mandating Flight Delay Compensation
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Policies that target a single aspect of agents' motivation may lead to their diminished efforts in other areas. This paper examines the effect of the European Union's flight delay compensation policy on flight on‐time performance by exploiting a unique policy variation in a difference‐in‐differences framework.

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata; Medfly) has been a primary agricultural pest in Israel for over a century. While chemical control remains the prevalent choice for its management, the integration of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) into the management programme for this pest has been explored and implemented in various ...

Network Effects in Corporate Emissions: Evidence from a Data‐Dependent Spatial Panel Model
Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.Abstract We study spillover effects in corporate toxic emissions using a heterogeneous panel of U.S. industrial facilities from 2000 to 2023. Rather than imposing a network structure a priori, we uncover an unobserved web of influence directly from the data using recent advances in high‐dimensional network econometrics.
