Life Cycle Consumption and Portfolio Choice Under Real Interest Rate Risk

Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We set up a life cycle model with real interest rate risk to demonstrate that real interest rates have implications for optimal household consumption and investments. Lower interest rates lead to higher optimal stock investments and lower consumption.

Social Status, Inequality, and Redistribution

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We explore implications of social status concerns for redistribution, income inequality, and growth in a political economy framework. Salience of such concerns leads to a propagation mechanism, whereby initial income inequality and reduced willingness to redistribute income reinforce each other, potentially giving rise to multiple steady ...

Genetic Determination of Maternal Behaviour in Pigs

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In sows, maternal behaviour is a commercially important trait which affects sow and piglet welfare and the quality and safety of human‐animal interactions, especially if free farrowing of sows without crates is in place. The aim of this study was to evaluate maternal behaviour and to estimate its quantitative genetic parameters in Swiss ...

Field Attraction of Natural Enemies to Methyl Salicylate Differs Between Annual and Perennial Cropping Systems

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

Climate‐Neutrality Transition and Banks' Loan Pricing

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel methodology to quantify firms' climate‐change transition risk (CCTR) and its implications for credit markets. We utilize the regulatory framework of the European Green Deal's 2050 carbon neutrality roadmap, focusing on large Eurozone firms and their banking relationships.

Financial Fragility and the Fiscal Multiplier

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract We show that undercapitalized banks with large holdings of government bonds subject to sovereign default risk lead to a new crowding‐out channel: deficit‐financed fiscal stimuli lead to higher bond yields, triggering capital losses for the banks. Banks then cut back loans, which reduces fiscal multipliers.

A Unified Approach to Estimating Production Functions: Proxy Variables and Dynamic Panel Data

The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a new approach to production function estimation that integrates the strengths of the proxy‐variable (PV) and dynamic panel data (DPD) methods. Our framework augments the set of instruments for the level equation in Blundell and Bond [8] with a Berkson‐type instrument motivated by economic theory, following Olley and Pakes [28 ...

Effect of sintering cycle on the strength and translucency of multilayered zirconia

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose A newly introduced sintering protocol promises to offer higher translucency while not significantly compromising the flexural strength of the material. However, the effect of the novel sintering protocol has not been thoroughly validated.

Contingent capital: A tale of two valuations

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the valuation gap between buyers and sellers of insurers' contingent capital, driven by asymmetric exposures to tax benefits, capital injections, and bankruptcy costs. We develop a novel Twin‐Tree Model with Jumps (TTMJ) that models the insurer's asset value dynamics by incorporating catastrophe risk, insolvency risk ...
