Abstract This study investigates the valuation gap between buyers and sellers of insurers' contingent capital, driven by asymmetric exposures to tax benefits, capital injections, and bankruptcy costs.

When indemnity insurance fails: Parametric coverage under binding budget and risk constraints
Abstract In high‐risk environments, traditional indemnity insurance is often unaffordable or ineffective, despite its well‐known optimality under expected utility.

We find that more stringent EPS have short‐term negative effects on regional employment, which disappear in the medium term.

Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.
