When Thriving for More Collapses the System: The Academic Reproduction of Uncaring Structures
Abstract This essay argues that the widening gap between aspirational aims and visionary orientations and the prevailing practices in neoliberal academia stems from deeper, historically rooted, market‐based logics shaping our institutions, increasingly governed by economic values and academic subjectivities therein.

Examination of Afghanistan's Development Traps
Abstract We examine the factors behind Afghanistan's persistent underdevelopment. Drawing on various theories of development traps operating at the demographic, economic and institutional levels, we seek to assess whether and to what extent their functioning affects Afghanistan's development. To capture the functioning of development traps empirically,

Anisotropic distribution of alpha particles in a tokamak reactor
We carried out systematic study of neoclassical equilibrium distribution of α particles born from deuterium–tritium nuclear fusion in a tokamak reactor. The distribution in the phase space is visualized in various 2D planes. We studied a previously known

Resilience in a noisy urban system
Abstract The ability of cities to recuperate from disturbances and return to their evolutionary pathways depends, first and foremost, on the type of damage that the shock created. But in addition, it depends on how information is transmitted in the urban system and on how noise filters distort the information that reaches economic agents.

Exploration of the parameter space of piecewise omnigenous stellarator magnetic fields
Piecewise omnigenous fields are stellarator magnetic fields that are optimized with respect to radial neoclassical transport thanks to a second adiabatic invariant that is piecewisely constant on the flux-surface.

ABSTRACT Accountants should engage more with natural and cultural capital accounting to make tools more accessible and to ensure critical information is provided to decision‐makers. While ecological economists have continued to innovate and design tools, corporate‐level accounting has seemingly lagged behind.

CEO's Early‐life Experience of Disasters and Corporate Environmental Performance
We investigate the nexus between the early‐life disaster experiences of chief executive officers (CEOs) and their firms’ environmental performance metrics. We hypothesize that first‐hand experience of the adversities of natural disasters in the formative years of a CEO can catalyze a transformation in their environmental cognizance and perspective ...
