Rethinking a positive‐sum game: US FDI location decisions in the presence of Chinese FDI
Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary This study examines how rising Chinese outbound foreign direct investment (OFDI) in third‐country markets shapes US MNEs' foreign direct investment location decisions amid escalating US–China geopolitical rivalry. US firms initially benefit from complementary co‐location dynamics, as Chinese OFDI—particularly in infrastructure—

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Trust in childhood vaccination is a concern for health policy, particularly in settings of political transition and conflict, where governance, institutional legitimacy and service delivery are often under strain. It is against this backdrop that this study aims to describe evolving interactions between health system governance, trust and ...

Industry Portfolio Volatility Connections and Industry Portfolio Returns
International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper tracks dynamic connections that form among daily US industry portfolio return volatilities using a Bayesian time‐varying parameter VAR model. Market participants often focus on sectors to filter vast amounts of information, and this focus results in cross‐industry return predictability. We characterise connections that form over the

Signaling uniqueness: The psycholinguistic effect of language precision on product perceptions
Journal of Consumer Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract This research reveals a psycholinguistic effect whereby more precise words in product communications increase consumer perceptions of product uniqueness. Drawing on Categorization Theory (Cognitive Psychology, 7, 1975, 573; Foundations of cognitive psychology: Core readings, 2002, MIT Press, 251), the authors propose that more precise words in

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Field visits are common phenomena with non‐governmental organisations in Uganda. During these visits, Ugandan national staff guide visitors on series of meetings and interactions in the field. Following an actor‐oriented approach and drawing on ethnographic data on 14 field visits, this paper understands the field visit as a microcosm for the ...

Integrating Grain to Ground Motion Data for Critical Rock Bridge and Slope Failure Analysis
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rock masses can fail catastrophically with little warning, yet their stability depends on hidden internal connections that channel forces and localise damage. Among these, rock bridges–a “known unknown” in slope mechanics–lock fractured rock and control how failure unfolds, but their concealed geometry and uncertain strength obscure where and ...

Leveraging Public Transit for Robotic Deliveries: A Column Generation Approach
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are small, electric, wheeled vehicles that operate at pedestrian speeds. In the last‐mile delivery service considered in this study, a fleet of AMRs is deployed across multiple recharging depots within a service area, from which they depart to perform point‐to‐point deliveries. We consider an operational setting
