Economic activity during extreme events

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract Although extreme weather events, natural disasters or infrastructure failures potentially have important economic effects, quantifying these effects over small areas and fine time intervals has been difficult because of the fairly coarse scales available in most data sources. This paper surveys the use of relatively new and finely grained data

The Heterogeneous Impact of Children on Maternal Employment: Evidence From East and West Germany

open access: yesEconomics of Transition and Institutional Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the causal effect of fertility on female labour market outcomes in East and West Germany. We use twin births as an exogenous variation for family size. Our results suggest a negative relationship between the number of children and maternal labour market outcomes.

Impurity transport and bulk ion flow in a mixed collisionality stellarator plasma

open access: yes, 2017
The accumulation of impurities in the core of magnetically confined plasmas, resulting from standard collisional transport mechanisms, is a known threat to their performance as fusion energy sources.

The differential effects of prevention and restrictive policies in crises: What can we learn from the COVID‐19 pandemic?

open access: yesEuropean Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aims to investigate the impact of lockdown and vaccination policies on business confidence in Europe, offering insights for future pandemic responses. Our research confirms that vaccination significantly boosts business confidence and mitigates the negative effects of lockdowns.

Risk Disclosure as a Resilience Tool in Central Governments: Assessing Current Practices in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands

open access: yesFinancial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To be resilient, governments must quickly adapt their policies and working methods to new and uncertain situations. This article examines whether risk disclosure, as part of the anticipatory capacities of these organizations, can help identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Mergers and Acquisitions as Navigators of Climate Policy Shocks: Evidence from the NOx Budget Trading Program

open access: yesFinancial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how mergers and acquisitions (M&As) enable firms to adapt to climate policy shocks. Exploiting the adoption of the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Budget Trading Program (NBP) across US states as an exogenous shock, we find that firms with NOx‐emitting plants subject to the NBP are more likely to engage in M&As, particularly through vertical ...

Study of Finite-Orbit-Width Effect on Neoclassical Transport in Tokamak Core Region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Neoclassical transport simulation using the δ f Monte-Carlo method is carried out to investigate the finite-orbitwidth (FOW) effect on the transport near the magnetic axis.

Effects of the Invasive Round Goby on Swedish Recreational Fishing Values

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The round goby, an invasive fish from the Black and Caspian Seas, has spread to Swedish waters, threatening recreational fisheries. We modeled impacts on the future recreational fishery in Sweden using data from a recreational fishing survey, and estimated effects of the round goby on other fish species. Values attached to recreational fishing

Quasilinear drift kinetic theory of alpha particle transport by neoclassical tearing modes

open access: yesJournal of Plasma Physics
Kinetic theory of particles near resonances is a current topic of discussion in plasma physics and astrophysics. We extend this discussion to the kinetic theory of the interaction between alpha particles (energetic particles predicted to exist in large quantities in next-generation fusion experiments) and a neoclassical tearing mode (NTM), a ...
