Do Product Market Reforms Work? Assessing Regulatory Changes Impacting Competition

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We create a new dataset that characterizes studies of product market reforms implemented from 1932 to 2011. We examine the size and origins of differences in estimated impacts based on an OECD classification scheme for potentially competitive restrictions of regulation. The median impact from switching to a pro‐competitive environment is a 19%

From Consumer Plastics to Aquatic Toxicants: Oxidative and Endocrine Effects of Microplastics on Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) Larvae

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Secondary microplastics (MPs) from single‐use consumer products are rapidly becoming one of the most persistent and widespread pollutants of our time. Freshwater systems act as early sinks for MPs where fragmentation and additive leaching expose aquatic life to a broad spectrum of toxic compounds.

Sulfasalazine Enhances Copper Toxicity in Danio rerio Larvae: Divergent Protective Roles of Deferoxamine and Ferrostatin‐1

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Copper is an environmental contaminant capable of disrupting redox homeostasis and impairing antioxidant defenses in aquatic organisms, thereby increasing susceptibility to oxidative stress. The cystine/glutamate antiporter (system xc−) plays a central role in maintaining intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels, a major antioxidant defense ...
