Mergers and Acquisitions as Navigators of Climate Policy Shocks: Evidence from the NOx Budget Trading Program

Financial Management, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 457-484, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT We examine how mergers and acquisitions (M&As) enable firms to adapt to climate policy shocks. Exploiting the adoption of the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Budget Trading Program (NBP) across US states as an exogenous shock, we find that firms with NOx‐emitting plants subject to the NBP are more likely to engage in M&As, particularly through vertical ...

Copper Smelting Could Have Been Discovered in Connection with the Massive Production of Lime Plaster in the Near East During the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B, which is Much Earlier than Previously Believed

EXARC Journal, 2022
A common theory is that copper smelting first appeared in the Near East in close connection with the early pottery industry. However, copper smelting may well have been discovered many times in history and at many places.

Nutritional Composition of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in Ghana: Effects of Culture Conditions, Feed and Processing

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
This review synthesizes current evidence on the nutritional composition of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus), with emphasis on Ghanaian aquaculture. The species is a valuable source of high‐quality protein, essential amino acids, minerals and vitamins, although lipid composition varies widely.

Smelting Conditions and Smelting Products: Experimental Insights into the Development of Iron Bloomery Furnaces

EXARC Journal, 2020
The material record for bloomery furnaces in Iron Age and Roman Britain is fragmentary and, because of this paucity of evidence, the reconstruction of the ceramic structures used in iron production is difficult. Experiments have nevertheless been carried
