A Paradox of Plenty? Rent Distribution and Political Stability in Oil States [PDF]
Resource curse theory claims that resource abundance encourages violent conflict. A study of 37 oil-producing developing countries, however, reveals that oil states with very high levels of oil revenue are remarkably stable.

Broke Autocrats, Broken Elections: Trade Shocks and Electoral Fraud in Autocracies
ABSTRACT We argue that when terms‐of‐trade (ToT) shocks reduce resource rents, autocrats lose the fiscal capacity to sustain loyalty through patronage and increasingly rely on electoral manipulation as a survival strategy.

Abstract Biomass burning aerosol (BBA) impacts climate through aerosol‐cloud‐radiation interactions, but models disagree on the sign and magnitude of BBA radiative effects. We quantify the sensitivity of BBA radiative effects and transport to three BBA‐relevant processes and properties: parameterized oxidative aging of organic aerosol (OA), a combined ...

Entanglement of A Qubit‐Qutrit System: Impact of Ohmic Noise
ABSTRACT This research examines the dynamics of quantum correlations in a hybrid qubit–qutrit system subjected to an Ohmic noisy environment. While entanglement degradation in homogeneous systems is well‐documented, the behavior of disparate‐dimensional interfaces remains a critical challenge for the interoperability of future quantum networks.

This article shows contrasting impacts of deforestation on inequality: in the Borneo‐Mekong countries, deforestation reduces inequality in the short term; in the Amazon, it has no influence on inequality in either the short or long term; and in the Congo Basin countries, it contributes to long‐term inequality.
