International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of trade liberalisation on income inequality across 24 Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries from 2000 to 2020. Using IV‐Tobit and 2SLS models, we consistently find that greater trade openness significantly exacerbates inequality in the region. Critically, we document an inverted U‐shaped relationship between trade

Motive and Opportunity: Order Choice in a Limit Order Book With Dispersed Information
International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We test predictions of market microstructure theory relating to the determinants of order choice in a limit order book where information is dispersed among traders. Using an experimental limit order book, with a large state space, we find that informed traders exhibit patience, compatible with the ‘waiting game’ behaviour described in Foster ...

Impact of Geography on Institutions in Agricultural and Nomadic Societies
International Studies of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT How geography affects the choice of institutions is studied in a theoretical model. In this model, nations are located around a circle. Rulers compete through choosing tax rates, the level of military spending, and the degree of formality of institutions. Geographic condition is captured by population density.

Conditional Randomization Tests for the Specification of Interference Structure
Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study proposes specification tests for interference structure in causal inference with spillovers. We focus on experimental settings in which the treatment assignment mechanism is known. To test whether a given exposure mapping adequately summarizes the true interference structure, we develop conditional randomization tests by utilizing ...

Stable Cuts, NAC‐Colourings and Flexible Realisations of Graphs
Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A (2‐dimensional) realisation of a graph G $G$ is a pair ( G , p ) $(G,p)$, where p $p$ maps the vertices of G $G$ to R 2 ${{\mathbb{R}}}^{2}$. A realisation is flexible if it can be continuously deformed while keeping the edge lengths fixed, and rigid otherwise.

Last‐minute coordination: Adapting to demand to support last‐mile operations
Journal of Operations Management, Volume 71, Issue 2, Page 176-194, March 2025.Abstract In the highly competitive e‐commerce industry, customer‐facing warehouses are crucial as the “order penetration points” for e‐commerce last‐mile operations. This research examines how warehouses use last‐minute coordination, an unstructured mechanism, to ensure sufficient inventory at the order penetration points. Previous research has focused
