Leader Propagation Characteristics Under Positive Lightning Impulse Voltages
IEEE AccessLightning strikes on transmission lines often generate overvoltage, which is the primary reason for insulator string flashover. This overvoltage, with a rapid rise time of just a few microseconds, causes leader propagation characteristics to differ ...

Can Enterprises Invest Efficiently in Smart Cities?
Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the digital economy has accelerated smart city (SC) development in China. Using a time‐varying difference‐in‐differences approach, we examine the impact of SC policies on corporate investment efficiency. We document that SC construction significantly enhances investment efficiency, with robust results across multiple ...

Catalysis and allostery in bacterial ATP phosphoribosyltransferases
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.ATP phosphoribosyltransferase (ATPPRT) catalyses the first reaction of L‐histidine biosynthesis. L‐Histidine allosterically inhibits ATPPRT to regulate this energy‐intensive pathway in histidine‐synthesising organisms, such as bacteria, archaea and plants.

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.

When insurers retreat: The governance of wildfire disasters and how FAIR plans allocate climate risk
Risk Management and Insurance Review, EarlyView.Abstract As wildfire risk accelerates private insurer retreat, state‐governed FAIR Plans increasingly serve as the primary coverage available in hazard‐prone areas. This paper analyzes these residual markets as instruments of disaster governance, arguing that their design reflects distributive political choices regarding risk allocation.

Disasters, Dictators, and Donors: The Impact of Foreign Aid on Economic Activity (Mis)Reporting
Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines how governments manipulate economic data to secure more foreign disaster aid. By using nighttime lighting as a reliable measure of economic activity, we make two key findings: (1) foreign disaster aid is positively linked to a country's understatement of its gross domestic product, indicating a deliberate strategy to ...
