Why Does Individualism Affect Economic Development: Is It Values, Policies, or Institutions?

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial body of literature highlights the positive roles of individualism and economic freedom in fostering prosperity, and recent work links the two.

ABSTRACT Explaining why people pay taxes has not been a central focus in the many important contributions of Jim Cox. Even so, I argue here that his work has greatly affected the way that we think about taxpayer compliance, by adding both directly and indirectly much needed realism to the theories and the applications of compliance.

Probabilistic estimation of reliable sensor spacing for wire break detection in prestressed concrete using acoustic emission technique

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The acoustic emission (AE) technique has proven to be an effective method for detecting individual wire breaks in prestressed concrete structures affected by stress corrosion cracking (SCC). However, despite its widespread application, the quantitative assessment of AE monitoring reliability and optimal sensor placement remains unresolved ...

A comparison of thermal drones and camera trap population estimates for Sitka black‐tailed deer in Alaska

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
One of the most difficult challenges for wildlife managers is reliably estimating wildlife populations. Camera traps combined with spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are a popular tool for population estimation. They have limitations, however, including long data processing times.
