Bias Adjustment for Mean Squared Error Estimation in M‐Quantile Models for Small Area Estimation

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary M‐quantile (MQ) regression provides a robust and flexible alternative to mixed models for small area estimation. However, several theoretical aspects remain underexplored. In this paper, a parametric bootstrap method is proposed to approximate the distributions of area‐specific MQ coefficients and applied to adjust the bias in the mean squared ...

How the Threat of Knowledge Loss Drives Firms’ R&D Dynamism: A Threat Rigidity Perspective

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on threat rigidity theory, this paper argues that the threat of knowledge loss gives rise to a threat rigidity effect in firms’ R&D function, that is, reduces their R&D dynamism. It further argues that the dampening of R&D dynamism is greater for firms more vulnerable to the threat of knowledge loss due to facing greater product market

Macroeconomic Effects of Public Investment in EMDEs: Nonlinear Effects of the Business Cycle, Fiscal Space, Capital Stock and Efficiency

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper examines the macroeconomic effects of public investment in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs). To this end the analysis develops a new measure of public investment shocks based on cyclically adjusted government investment.

Diet composition of the Red‐billed curassow (Crax blumenbachii) and its role as seed disperser in the Atlantic Forest: conservation insights

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest fragmentation and defaunation are major drivers of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, where 70–90% of tree species depend on animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Reintroduction of large frugivores, such as cracids, is being used to restore species populations and lost ecological functions.

Unconventional Fiscal Policies in Response to Inflation: The Iberian Exception in Portugal

Scottish Journal of Political Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The surge in Eurozone inflation in 2022 compelled European governments to implement unconventional fiscal policies. One initiative, the Iberian Exception, imposed a cap on the cost of natural gas used for electricity generation in Portugal and Spain.

Optimized content caching strategies for multi-access edge computing (MEC)-assisted future cellular networks

(English) Handling the tsunami of multimedia content is a big challenge for heterogeneous cellular networks. Serving large volumes of content from the central system to end-users, through a bandwidth-limited network, at peak time leads to network congestion. Typically, popular contents impede network performance and incur a high cost because they are

The Taboo of Withdrawal: Firsthand Perspectives From Former Doctoral Candidates in Poland and Portugal

Higher Education Quarterly, Volume 80, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT In knowledge‐based societies, withdrawal from doctoral education is often seen and spoken about as embarrassing, undesirable, and awkward. Emerging from complex conditions—a mix of profoundly personal factors and weighty contextual factors—withdrawal tends to be a silenced or shamed process, producing a layered dynamic of taboo upon taboo upon
