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 ...

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.

Axial muscle‐fibre orientations in larval zebrafish
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 517-533, April 2025.In 4 days post‐fertilization zebrafish larvae, the fast axial muscle fibres follow helical trajectories that taper towards the tail. Adjacent muscle fibres form substantial angles relative to each other to accommodate this pattern. Using a novel semi‐automatic method, we quantified 3D fibre angles over the whole muscle volume.

Mind &Language, EarlyView.Humans seek to predict, explain, and control their environments. Generalizations—like those expressed by “children like candy” and “cigarettes cause cancer”—provide one resource to facilitate these tasks. We develop a proposal tying the acceptability judgments of generics to the psychological functions of generalizations.

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 ...

3-Dimensional Lightning Observations Using a Time-of-Arrival Lightning Mapping System [PDF]
, 2001 A lightning mapping system has been developed that lo-cates the sources of VHF radiation from lightning dis-charges in three spatial dimensions and time. The system consists of several VHF receivers distributed over an area of about 100 km diameter.
