ABSTRACT We examine how mergers and acquisitions (M&As) enable firms to adapt to climate policy shocks. Exploiting the adoption of the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Budget Trading Program (NBP) across US states as an exogenous shock, we find that firms with NOx‐emitting plants subject to the NBP are more likely to engage in M&As, particularly through vertical ...

ABSTRACT Weaning is a stressful stage in the lives of young mammals. Early weaning, in particular, can lead to long‐lasting physiological and psychological changes. We investigated the effects of precocial weaning on anxiety, social behavior, cognition, and maternal behavior in adult African four‐striped mice (Rhabdomys dilectus chakae). Mice weaned at

ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...
