From accidents to assets—The value pathways of patents for serendipitous inventions

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Firms often celebrate accidental inventions that lead to major breakthroughs, yet little is known about how the value of serendipitous inventions materializes. Using data from 8530 patented inventions across 23 countries, our research shows that these inventions differ from planned R&D outcomes.

Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production

Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.

Using Harvest Data to Assess Factors Influencing Regional Population Declines of Muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) 利用捕获数据评估影响麝鼠 (Ondatra zibethicus) 区域种群数量下降的相关因素

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Reported annual per‐capita harvest of muskrats (PCHM) decreased as wetland complexity (total number of wetland patches) decreased in 13 state and federal wetland areas in the Midwest, USA. Our results support the hypothesis that regional‐scale declines in the abundance of muskrats are likely associated with the losses to wetland habitats throughout the

Consumers' Willingness to Pay for Solar Fuel Adoption in Quebec, Canada: Evidence From a Discrete Choice Experiment

The American Journal of Economics and Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates consumer preferences for renewable fuels in Quebec, with a particular focus on a solar fuel produced through artificial photosynthesis. Using a discrete choice experiment (DCE) and both conditional logit (CL) and random parameters logit (RPL) models, we estimate marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for key fuel attributes,

Economic Valuation of Renewable Transport Fuels: Evidence From Solar Fuel Willingness to Pay in Quebec, Canada

The American Journal of Economics and Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transport sector is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, making it a key priority for climate mitigation policies. In this context, renewable fuels represent a promising complementary pathway to transport electrification, particularly due to their compatibility with existing internal combustion engine ...

Optimal Hedging Strategies in the Low‐Sulphur Bunker Fuel Landscape

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The IMO2020 regulation for the green transition in shipping turned the industry into using two compliant bunker fuels: very low‐sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low‐sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO). VLSFO futures contracts introduced in late 2019 and other energy‐related futures contracts indicate that the VLSFO contracts trading on the Singapore ...
