Abstract Firms may under‐ or over‐invest in risk management from the social planner's perspective, resulting in a negative externality on other economic agents in the supply chain. The externality of risk management is particularly relevant for agrifood supply chains, which frequently experience disruptions and play a primary role in preventing major ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We address the interconnected issues of externalities in the use of a natural common‐pool resource system and adverse effects of environmental uncertainty on risk‐averse resource users. We set up a simple analytical model and derive conditions such that insurance by means of an income sharing mechanism mitigates externalities and hence ...

Reverse auctions for drought‐responsive water buybacks: Evidence from co‐designed lab and field experiments

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.

Are dairy cows replaced too early? Evidence from a structural model and cow‐level data

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.

Abstract In order to quantify the impact of agricultural policy uncertainty on European farmers' investment behavior, we construct a newspaper‐based monthly index of European agricultural policy uncertainty from 2013 to 2023. We use 327,224 newspaper articles to assess and compare the trends in policy uncertainty across five top agricultural producers ...

B/ordering and healthcare access for migrants with precarious status: The role of healthcare workers in counteracting restrictive policies

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In Canada, precarious migration is largely invisibilized. Nonetheless, b/ordering greatly affects people's realities by limiting access to social rights. In Quebec, migrants with precarious status (MPS) do not have access to healthcare, although Quebec has a “universal” healthcare coverage.

Initial Stay Time and Work‐Rest Scheduling During Consecutive Heavy‐Intensity Workdays in Hot Environments in Young and Older Males

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This study examined initial stay times (IST), defined as the duration of uninterrupted work before core temperature approaches recommended safety limits (38.0°C, ~1.0°C above baseline), and the efficacy of work‐rest cycles during repeated heavy work across consecutive workdays in young and older males.

Reframing Trisomy 13 and 18 Care: Moving Beyond the Myth of “Incompatibility With Life” in a South African and Low‐and Middle‐Income Country Context

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trisomy 13 (T13) and trisomy 18 (T18) have historically been described as “lethal” or “incompatible with life,” contributing to diagnosis‐based limitations of care. Contemporary evidence demonstrates greater heterogeneity in survival and outcomes than previously recognized, including among selected children receiving intensive care or cardiac ...
