The Bumpy Road From a Well‐Paid Earmarked Parental Leave to Engaged Fatherhood: Externally Driven Reform in a Persistently Gendered Culture

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.

An enhanced adaptive large neighborhood search algorithm for the multiple allocation p‐hub location problem with a mesh backbone network in video‐on‐demand services

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This study tackles the multiple allocation p$p$‐hub location problem (MApHLP) in the context of video‐on‐demand services, where digital content is partitioned into segments and stored exclusively at selected hub locations. Users, distributed across a wide geographical area, can connect to multiple hubs based on demand patterns, with all hubs ...

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.
