Prairie management practices influence biodiversity, productivity and surface–atmosphere feedbacks
Summary Grassland restoration efforts aim to reestablish vegetation cover and maintain ecosystem services. However, there is a lack of systematic evaluation of the effects of grassland restoration and management strategies on biodiversity, productivity and surface–atmosphere feedbacks affecting climate.

The Beveridge Curve, Matching, and Labour Market Flows: A Reinterpretation
ABSTRACT A standard theory of the Beveridge curve is based on the matching function: when unemployment is high, vacancies are filled quickly, so fewer vacancies are needed to balance the inflow into unemployment. Estimating matching functions on panel data, we find no (or very weak) evidence that vacancies are filled quickly when unemployment is high ...

Does wetland restoration create an ecological trap for migrating Brown trout smolts?
Restoring wetlands is often used by management to boost ecosystem services like improving downstream water quality, but it may create ecological traps for migrating salmonids by increasing migration time and predation rates, potentially compromising self‐sustaining populations.

Global sensitivity analysis of integrated assessment models with multivariate outputs
Abstract Risk assessments of complex systems are often supported by quantitative models. The sophistication of these models and the presence of various uncertainties call for systematic robustness and sensitivity analyses. The multivariate nature of their response challenges the use of traditional approaches.

Gains From Trade in an Asymmetric Cournot World With Trade Costs
ABSTRACT We compare free trade with autarky in a partial equilibrium model with asymmetric Cournot competition and linear demand and costs. While the existing literature can only guarantee under strong symmetry without trade costs that trade increases world output, consumer surplus, and total welfare, we show that weaker conditions such as partial ...

Leadership in Scholarship: Editors' Appointments and Scientific Narrative
ABSTRACTAcademic journals disseminate new knowledge and therefore can influence the direction and composition of ongoing research by choosing what to publish. We study the change in the topic structure of papers published in the American Economic Review (AER) after the appointments of editors and coeditors of the AER between 1985 and 2011 using a ...

Hunting for Paradoxes: A Research Strategy for Cognitive Science
Abstract How should we identify interesting topics in cognitive science? This paper suggests that one useful research strategy is to hunt for, and attempt to resolve, paradoxes: that is, apparent or real contradictions in our understanding of the mind and of thought.
