Contrastive ecoacoustic indices: Large‐scale global soundscape characterization with contrastive inference

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecoacoustics mainly aims at monitoring soundscapes by means of non‐invasive protocols. Despite the widespread adoption of machine and deep learning techniques, existing ecoacoustic models predominantly rely on supervised learning and, consequently, face two primary limitations: (1) the necessity of annotated data; and (2) the restriction to ...

When Accounting Qualities Collide: Accruals Quality, Comparability and Information Risk in SEO Underpricing

open access: yesAccounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how accounting quality attributes jointly mitigate underpricing associated with two dimensions of information risk in seasoned equity offerings (SEOs). In information environments with relatively more potent information asymmetry, the evidence suggests that accruals quality and accounting comparability act as substitutes; i.e ...

Police department design, political pressure, and racial inequality in arrests

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper theorizes a source of bias in discretionary arrests: strategic limits on police officer learning. Officers have a variety of tactics at their disposal besides arrest that they use for less serious offenses when they judge the underlying behavior to be less severe. In departments led by a chief with special expertise in crime control,

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

China and Limits to the European Union's Geoeconomic Turn

open access: yesJCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The European Union's (EU) pivot from a commitment to efficiency to concern about security is commonly referred to as its ‘geoeconomic turn’. This paper analyses the EU's capacities to enhance its economic security and to engage in economic statecraft by focusing on China, which, at least until recently, posed the greatest geoeconomic challenge
