The Architecture of Consolidation: Nests of Corporate Control in the Agrochemical Network

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on agricultural consolidation tends to equate corporate control with the dominance of a few large firms. We take an alternative approach that examines control through the explosive growth of legally distinct firms that fragment accountability. Using a new global dataset of 6982 entities linked to BASF, Bayer, Corteva, Dow, DuPont, FMC,

The Incentive Virtues of Performance‐Based Trade Allowances and Loss Leading

The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A retailer can boost demand for a manufacturer's product through non‐verifiable activities. Performance‐based trade allowances—rebates conditional on the retailer's successful sales efforts—help mitigate this moral hazard problem. In equilibrium, the wholesale contract includes a retail price set below cost, complemented by a rebate for ...

Responsible Innovation: The Impact of Major Industrial Disasters and Gender in a Global South Context

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Responsible innovation (RI) dynamics remain underexplored in Global South contexts, which have a high prevalence of micro‐ and small enterprises and are vulnerable to the devastating effects of industrial disasters. Only a few studies examine RI within such settings, where it is arguably needed most.

Indoor residual spraying of distinct insecticide formulations in a household‐scale micro‐mosaic format: Feasibility and effectiveness for malaria vector control in rural Zambia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Densities of all Anopheles species were approximately comparable across all IRS regimes. No differences observed between treatment regimes regarding species composition of the Anopheles funestus group or An. gambiae complex. This operational pilot demonstrates the practical feasibility of IRS micro‐mosaics, despite the inherent increase in deployment ...
