The future of dispute resolution in international trade

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Given ongoing dysfunction of the World Trade Organization's Appellate Body, the focus of this article is on the future of trade dispute resolution, with evaluation of two questions: (i) What is the current status of WTO dispute resolution as compared to that conducted through existing preferential trade agreements (PTAs)? and (ii) What are the

Light‐Triggered CRISPR/Cas12a for Genomic Editing and Tumor Regression

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A photo‐triggered CRISPR/Cas12a machinery for gene editing is introduced. The machinery is applied for endogenous DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) gene editing and for in vitro disruption of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) gene. The machinery is used for in vivo knockout and disruption of the HGF gene in HepG2 tumors, resulting in effective apoptosis

What matters for agricultural trade? Assessing the role of trade deal provisions using machine learning

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper employs machine learning to determine which preferential trade agreement (PTA) provisions are relevant to agricultural trade patterns and the factors that may influence their adoption. Utilizing the three‐way gravity model, we apply plug‐in Lasso regularized regression to pinpoint predictive PTA provisions for agricultural trade ...

Forecasting Net Migration By Age: The Flow-Difference Approach [PDF]

arXiv
Most population projection models require age-specific information on net migration totals as a key demographic component of population change. Existing methods for predicting future patterns of net migration by age have proven inadequate. The main reason is that methods applied to model net migration are unable to distinguish factors influencing the ...

Foreign labor, peer‐networking and agricultural efficiency in the Italian dairy sector

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract While the presence of immigrants in the agricultural sector is widely acknowledged, the empirical evidence on its economic consequences is lacking, especially from a microeconomic perspective. Using the Farm Accountancy Data Network panel data for Italian dairy farms in the period 2008–2018, the present study investigates the relationship ...

Self-consistent $N$-body simulation of Planetesimal-Driven Migration I. The trajectories of single planets in the uniform background [PDF]

arXiv
Recent exoplanet observations have revealed a diversity of exoplanetary systems, which suggests the ubiquity of radial planetary migration. One powerful known mechanism of planetary migration is planetesimal-driven migration (PDM), which can let planets undergo significant migration through gravitational scattering with planetesimals. In this series of
