Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.Abstract In conventional firms (CFs), workers are unlikely to accept pay and hour reductions in order to secure their jobs, in particular because of information asymmetry. A specific type of firm is not subject to this information asymmetry problem because workers make decisions and share profits: worker cooperatives.

Co‐operatives and public policy: A scoping review
Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.Abstract We sketch a first‐ever map of the scholarly literature on co‐operatives and public policy from a selection of English‐language studies published since 2000 using a scoping review methodology. We find that while co‐operatives are often framed as solutions to societal problems, few scholars draw on formal public policy theories.

With Refinitiv/LSEG data for ~146,000 firm‐years in 86 countries (2002–2023) and World Bank WGI, we apply a Mundlak within/between decomposition to test complementarity versus substitution (performance) and prevention ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.We investigated the potential of iloperidone as an activator of Sigma‐1 receptor (S1R) neuroprotective function in juvenile Huntington's disease (jHD). We tested iloperidone on cortical neurons differentiated from patient‐derived iPSCs, demonstrating that it acts as a S1R agonist, decreasing apoptosis, huntingtin aggregation, and oxidative stress ...
