ALTAA: Analysis of long‐term activity patterns in ant colonies
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Collective behaviours are a fascinating study area due to the emergent properties that can only arise in groups of interacting individuals. However, their quantitative study is often impaired by technical difficulties, creating either low‐quality and sparse data or impractical data amounts, particularly when capturing large groups over long ...

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Despite increasing demands for resilient and sustainable supply chains, inventory management often relies on outdated single‐criterion analyses. While multi‐criteria ABC (MCABC) analyses provide a theoretically mature assessment of resilience‐sustainability‐benefit trade‐offs in inventory, their adoption remains limited due to fragmented ...

Do robots boost productivity? A quantitative meta‐study
Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This meta‐study analyzes the productivity effects of industrial robots. More than 1800 estimates from 85 primary studies are collected. The meta‐analytic evidence suggests that robotization has so far provided, at best, a small boost to productivity. There is strong evidence of publication bias in the positive direction.

Fiscal policy and economic activity: new causal evidence
The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Utilizing a quasi‐natural experiment design, we identify an exogenous cut in local taxes accompanied by an equivalent reduction in local government spending, and we estimate the impact of these exogenous changes on income. We exploit a unique regional dataset that combines local income data with local voting outcomes on current expense tax ...
