CEO's Early‐life Experience of Disasters and Corporate Environmental Performance

Abacus, EarlyView.
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 ...

Farmers' pro‐social motivations and willingness‐to‐accept in markets with public goods

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract To explain how some farmers' decisions may diverge from profit‐maximization, we incorporate proactive social preferences for public goods in an expected utility framework, in addition to reactive risk preferences to uncertainty. We offer empirical evidence that proactive preferences influence farmers' decisions alongside reactive preferences ...

Tokamak edge-SOL turbulence in H-mode conditions simulated with a global, electromagnetic, transcollisional drift-fluid model

Nuclear Fusion
The design of commercially feasible magnetic confinement fusion reactors strongly relies on the reduced turbulent transport in the plasma edge during operation in the high confinement mode (H-mode).

Private Land Ownership: Tax or Socialize?

The American Journal of Economics and Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study compares the land reform concepts of Henry George and Silvio Gesell, both of whom rejected private appropriation of land rent as unjust. While George proposed to “hollow out” private land ownership through a comprehensive land value tax, Gesell aimed at full socialization of land combined with lease auctions and compensation of ...

Turbulence-reduced high-performance scenarios in Wendelstein 7-X

Nuclear Fusion
In the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator, turbulence is the dominant transport mechanism in most discharges. This leads to a ‘clamping’ of ion temperature over a wide range of heating power, predominantly flat density profiles where hollow profiles ...

The institutional paradox of a substantivist conception of the economy in public policy: Insights from public procurement for solidarity economy in Ecuador

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecuador's 2008 Constitution advanced an ambitious substantive economic vision through Buen Vivir (Good Living), recognizing a plural economy which encompasses private, public and solidarity economy (SE) sectors. This paper aims to analyze public procurement programs in Ecuador, one of the flagship Buen Vivir policies for SE promotion.

MONKES: a fast neoclassical code for the evaluation of monoenergetic transport coefficients in stellarator plasmas

Nuclear Fusion
MONKES is a new neoclassical code for the evaluation of monoenergetic transport coefficients in stellarators. By means of a convergence study and benchmarks with other codes, it is shown that MONKES is accurate and efficient.

Envisioning the Future of Work: From Ideas to Reforms

British Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Two different theoretical perspectives concerning technology and the future of work are examined. One is linked to mainstream economics, whereas the other is associated with critical (‘post‐work’) discourse. Ideas about work—its nature and impacts on well‐being—matter in both perspectives.

High-Z impurity neoclassical transport in the tokamak plasmas due to the single-null divertor configuration

Nuclear Fusion
A new mechanism for the high-Z impurity neoclassical particle transport in the tokamak plasmas due to the single-null divertor configuration is discovered for the first time.

Frisch Elasticity, Directed Technical Change, and Automation: A Unified Framework for Wage Polarization and Skill Premium Dynamics

Bulletin of Economic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how labor‐supply responsiveness, captured by the inverse Frisch elasticity, shapes wage inequality in the presence of directed technical change and automation. We develop a dynamic general equilibrium model with task‐based production, heterogeneous labor, and endogenous R&D.
