Harvesting benefits: Exploring the effects of second‐best policies on enhancing soil organic carbon stocks in agriculture

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

A discrete-time model that weakly converges to a continuous-time geometric Brownian motion with Markov switching drift rate

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics
This research is devoted to studying a geometric Brownian motion with drift switching driven by a 2 × 2 Markov chain. A discrete-time multiplicative approximation scheme was developed, and its convergence in Skorokhod topology to the continuous-time ...

Endogenous coalition formation in policy debates

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Political actors form coalitions around their joint normative beliefs in order to influence the policy process on contentious issues such as climate change or population aging. Policy process theory maintains that learning within and across coalitions is a central predictor of policy change but has yet to explain how policy learning works ...

The natural history of periodontal disease—Part 2: In populations with access to dental care: The Studies of Health in Pomerania (SHIP)

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In this descriptive analysis of the 21‐year follow‐up data from the SHIP‐START cohort and the 7‐year follow‐up data from the SHIP‐TREND cohort, we report the progression of clinical attachment levels (CAL), age effects on CAL change, and a detailed description of CAL progression and remission. At baseline, 4307 and 4420 persons participated in

Emotional and motivational experiences in teacher–student relationships and psychological need satisfaction during adolescence: A latent profile and latent transition analysis

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Emotional and motivational aspects of teacher–student relationships are central to adolescents' psychological need satisfaction and academic development. However, few longitudinal studies examine how these relational experiences evolve during adolescence or co‐occur with emotional‐motivational functioning.

Local Search and the Evolution of World Models

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract An open question regarding how people develop their models of the world is how new candidates are generated for consideration out of infinitely many possibilities. We discuss the role that evolutionary mechanisms play in this process. Specifically, we argue that when it comes to developing a global world model, innovation is necessarily ...

Serial dependence in time perception requires consistent motor responses, not shared memory alone

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Serial dependence—the bias from recent experience on present response—has been attributed to shared memory representations, yet previous studies yielded contradictory findings about whether consistent motor responses are required. To address this debate in time perception, we tested whether serial dependence emerges when tasks share identical ...

Power priors for latent variable mediation models under small sample sizes

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Latent variable models typically require large sample sizes for acceptable efficiency and reliable convergence. Appropriate informative priors are often required for gainfully employing Bayesian analysis with small samples. Power priors are informative priors built on historical data, weighted to account for non‐exchangeability with the ...
