Quality Regulation and Unexpected Gaming: Evidence From Mandating Flight Delay Compensation
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Policies that target a single aspect of agents' motivation may lead to their diminished efforts in other areas. This paper examines the effect of the European Union's flight delay compensation policy on flight on‐time performance by exploiting a unique policy variation in a difference‐in‐differences framework.

Review of the Lightning Strike Incident at Launch Complex 37 on July 27, 1967, and Comparison to a Gemini Lightning Strike [PDF]
, 1967 The Launch Complex 37 lightning strike of July 27, 1967, was reviewed and compared to a similar incident on the Gemini Program. Available data indicate little likelihood of damaging currents having been present in SA-204 Launch Vehicle or the ground ...

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.

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Nationalist–Feminine Bifurcation: The Construction of National Morality Through Gender Regimes
Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article introduces the concept of nationalist–feminine bifurcation to analyse how nationalist–populist regimes construct moral orders through gendered representations. It explores how women are simultaneously portrayed as the idealized ‘national woman’ and the excluded ‘moral threat’. Through a comparative discourse analysis of four cases—
