Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads
ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...

China's Strategic Approach to Tech Diplomacy in a Time of Global Uncertainty
ABSTRACT In the wake of U.S.‐China technological competition and the COVID‐19 pandemic, “tech diplomacy” has gained prominence in Chinese political and academic discourse. This concept is often ideologically framed to critique Western hegemonic narratives perceived as hindering China's technological advancement.

The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a keystone species and ecosystem engineer, has declined by ~80% over the past century due to primarily habitat loss. In a 28‐year resurvey of federally protected Mobile County and state‐protected Baldwin County, we found tortoise populations persisted at ~59% and ~31% of sites, respectively, with significant ...

Abstract This study examines the adaptive market hypothesis in the prewar and wartime Japanese stock market using a new market capitalization‐weighted price index. First, we find that the degree of market efficiency varies over time and with major historical events. This implies that the hypothesis is supported in this market.
