Smuggling Sovereignty: Trade, Transgression, and State Authority
ABSTRACT Global supply chains are saturated with transgressions—corruption, smuggling, document forgery, and other practices that blur the line between legality and illegality. States do not merely endure these practices; they actively shape the conditions for them, producing the very illegal systems they then claim to police.

Resource redeployment as an entry advantage in resource‐poor settings
Abstract Research Summary Scarcity of productive factors poses a challenge for firms entering underdeveloped regions. We theorize that incumbent firms can overcome scarcity of skilled human capital in local labor markets by redeploying workers from existing units.

The introduction of a Pt single atom changes the Ru surface structure and results in the reconstruction of the active sites for hydrogen and CO oxidation catalysis. With a Pt loading of only 1 wt.%, RuPtSA exhibited superior HOR activity and resistance to impurities compared to commercial Pt catalysts in both acid and alkaline electrolytes.

This study utilizes density functional theory (DFT) and constrained molecular dynamics (cMD) to investigate the free energy landscape of the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction at a liquid–solid interface. The research highlights a dual‐atom catalyst—specifically a Cu─Sn pair anchored in a nitrogen‐doped carbon framework—that facilitates the ...

A Test of the Coase Conjecture Using Prices of Electronic Books
ABSTRACT The Coase Conjecture predicts that a durable‐goods monopolist without commitment will rapidly cut price toward marginal cost. We test this prediction in the electronic‐book market using release‐day prices. To proxy for marginal cost, we use competitive prices of public‐domain electronic books on the same platforms.
