Economic activity during extreme events

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract Although extreme weather events, natural disasters or infrastructure failures potentially have important economic effects, quantifying these effects over small areas and fine time intervals has been difficult because of the fairly coarse scales available in most data sources. This paper surveys the use of relatively new and finely grained data

The Relationships Between Lower‐ and Higher‐Level Cognitive Skills and Multimodal Reading Comprehension Among Fourth‐Grade Students in the Digital Age

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multimodal reading skills are essential for 21st‐century students to interpret and navigate information across various modalities on the Internet and in multimedia environments. While previous studies have delved into the effects of lower‐ and higher‐level cognitive skills on traditional reading comprehension, which involves solely written ...

Estimating National and Foreign Trade Elasticities Using Generalized Transport Costs

Journal of Regional Science, Volume 65, Issue 2, Page 471-496, March 2025.
ABSTRACT We introduce the definition of two distinct trade elasticities corresponding to imports from regions located in the same country (national elasticities) and foreign regions located in other countries (foreign elasticities). We resort to a three‐tier nested CES utility structure to derive the corresponding demand gravity equations.

Children's Foreign Word Recognition at First Exposure: The Role of Phonological Similarity and Utterance Position

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract The current study examined how children apply their phonological knowledge to recognize translation equivalents in a foreign language. Target words for recognition were either phonologically similar (cognate) or dissimilar (noncognate) to words they already knew in their first language.

KRP3 Stability Controls Rice Plant Architecture and Productivity via MPK3‐Mediated Phosphorylation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Yield is a critical agronomic trait in cereal crops, shaped by factors like tiller and seed number, and seed weight. Understanding the factors governing these traits will help in improving the yield of plants. In this study, we identified an orphan gene, KRP3, belonging to cereal crops as a key regulator of rice plant architecture.

An Approach for Economic Analysis of Intermodal Transportation

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
A different intermodal transportation model based on cost analysis considering technical, economical, and operational parameters is presented. The model consists of such intermodal modes as sea-road, sea-railway, road-railway, and multimode of sea-road ...
