Premium subsidy designs and crowding out of insurance demand

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is an important instrument to protect farmers against extreme weather events. Many countries provide subsidies for crop insurance products to make insurance more affordable for farmers. The Federal Crop Insurance Program in the United States and major European crop insurance programs such as in Spain, Italy, and France focus on ...

Whose Sustainability Counts? Board Governance, ESG Ratings, and Sustainable Development Goals: Evidence on the ESG–SDG Wedge

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Institutional investors increasingly rely on ESG ratings to evaluate financially material sustainability risks, while governments promote corporate alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Because these frameworks differ substantially in capital market salience and monitoring intensity, board oversight may not ...

Decomposing venture evaluation: Learning about belief formation

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Evaluating early‐stage ventures is difficult because observable signals of future quality are weak and noisy. How closely are evaluators' assessments related to venture quality, and do their subjective judgments add to the information already available about a venture?

When is the bait worth the risk? A mechanistic model of a compensatory ecological trap in seabirds

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological traps occur when organisms preferentially select habitats that reduce fitness. In seabird–fishery systems, fishery‐derived trophic subsidies can increase foraging success, reinforce habitat preference and indirectly enhance reproductive output or recruitment,

New PMCT multi‐indicator ossification standards for age estimation of the knee in modern Australian and North American children

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Skeletal age estimation is crucial to medicolegal work, aiding subadult identification, and living age assessments in legal contexts. This study aims to document the ontogeny of knee skeletal indicators on post‐mortem computed tomography (PMCT), and quantify interpopulation variation between modern American and Australian children.

Abstract Researchers are often interested in the long‐run relationship (LRR) between variables where the dependent variable has dynamic properties. Though determining the long‐run multiplier (LRM) for an independent variable is straightforward, correctly estimating the significance of the LRM is often difficult, especially when time series are short ...

2D Piecewise Linear Scalar Fields with Invertible Integral Lines

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Integral lines of the gradient flow are standard features in continuously differentiable scalar fields that enjoy some useful properties: They cover the domain densely, do not split, merge, or intersect, and are therefore invertible. For widely used discretizations of scalar fields, the corresponding polygonal approximations of integral lines ...
