Investor Perceptions of Climate Policy: Insights From the US Inflation Reduction Act

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper provides the first event study evidence on how the Inflation Reduction Act's (IRA) dedicated climate provisions reshaped equity valuations in the US carbon‐intensive sectors. Focusing on environmentally sensitive industries (ESI), we analyze cumulative abnormal returns around the four key IRA milestones in 2022–2023.

Bilateral Symmetry and Variation of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve and Inferior Thyroid Artery Patterns: An Intraoperative Study of 150 Nerves

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The anatomical relationship of the inferior thyroid artery (ITA) and the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is highly variable. This study aims to evaluate bilateral RLN branching patterns and their relationship to the ITA within the same patient, predicting contralateral anatomical variations and ultimately reducing intraoperative risk of RLN ...
