When attentive insider trading matters: Evidence from government investment
Abstract We examine whether insiders can exploit public information to increase their trading profitability. By exploiting, as a quasi‐natural experiment, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), announced in the U.S. in March 2021 and implemented in November 2021, we provide evidence that insiders earn higher profits when government investment plans ...

Segment disclosure reduces the information advantage of suppliers relative to investors in evaluating firm default risk, reducing firms' reliance on trade credit. Exploiting the adoption of SFAS 131 as a shock to segment disclosure, we find that segment disclosure

Rhododendron diversity patterns provide new insights for conserving China's montane flora
Integrating distribution, phylogenetic, and functional trait data for 603 Rhododendron species in China identified significant conservation hotspots of multidimensional diversity, particularly in the Hengduan Mountains. Climate seasonality and topographic heterogeneity jointly influenced these patterns; however, notable conservation gaps remained ...

Do Tech‐Based New Ventures Founded During Major Economic Crises Generate Different R&D Outputs?
ABSTRACT Tech‐based ventures—regardless of external circumstances—must allocate resources to research and development (R&D) activities to satisfy their raison d'être and establish their market positioning. When founded during economic crises, these ventures encounter distinctive opportunities but also face resource scarcity, both of which significantly

A trait‐based integration of competition and abiotic tolerance underlies plant success
Competitive effect and abiotic tolerance show positive associations with species' niche breadth and local dominance. Summary Understanding what determines species' ecological success is a central challenge in ecology. Competitive ability and abiotic tolerance are expected to be strong predictors of species success, yet theory predicts a trade‐off ...
