The Herfindahl neutral point: A firm‐level threshold for managing market concentration with evidence from US hog packing

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper derives a firm‐level threshold, the Herfindahl Neutral Point, from the standard concentration index used in merger review. At this threshold, a marginal expansion leaves the index unchanged. Firms below the threshold reduce concentration when they expand; firms above it increase concentration.

Strain and crack development in continuous reinforced concrete slabs subjected to catenary action [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Several structural calamities in the second half of the 20th century have shown that adequate collapse-resistance cannot be achieved by designing the individual elements of a structure without taking their interconnectivity into consideration.

Ecological niche modeling reveals habitat differentiation and climatic vulnerability in two imperiled, sympatric southern Appalachian carnivorous plants

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Understanding the habitat requirements of imperiled flora is critical for informing ex situ conservation practices, designing effective reintroduction strategies, and understanding how climate change will impact such species, especially in montane regions with high levels of environmental heterogeneity. In southern Appalachia, USA, the

Sustaining Circular Innovation Under Volatile Market Conditions: The Critical Role of Industry Platforms

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While industry platforms are widely recognized as enablers of circular innovation, we still know little about how they evolve to scale and sustain innovation as economic conditions tighten and circular economy funding schemes become more selective.
