ABSTRACT This paper examines student admissions to higher education based on past performance, focusing on two measures: high school GPA and national exam scores. GPA is teacher‐assigned and based on repeated assessments, while these exams are externally graded, one‐off standardized tests. Using a nationwide dataset, we investigate how the relevance of

ABSTRACT Scale is central to inference in natural and social systems, and geography and ecology have treated it as an explicit object of theory for decades. This paper builds on that work with a formal view in which scale is a degree of freedom of description, parameterizing both the mappings between representations and the metric defining distance and

ABSTRACT Natural disasters disrupt the normal functioning of both communities and businesses. However, past literature often segregates the disaster relief view from the business continuity perspective, leaving a gap in understanding how firms can proactively support relief efforts.

Random Carbon Tax Policy and Investment Into Emission Abatement Technologies
ABSTRACT We analyze the problem of a profit‐maximizing electricity producer, subject to carbon taxes, who decides on investments into CO2$\rm CO_2$ abatement technologies. We assume that the carbon tax policy is random and that the investment in the abatement technology is divisible, irreversible, and subject to transaction costs.

Dam Management in the Era of Climate Change
ABSTRACT Climate change has a dramatic impact, particularly by concentrating rainfall into a few short periods, interspersed with long dry spells. In this context, the role of dams is crucial. We consider the optimal control of a dam, where the water level must neither exceed a designated safety threshold nor fall below a minimum level to ensure ...

Trace Mg doping into gallia–alumina generates hole‐type oxygen species that accelerate hydrogen recombination, eliminating the need for Pt promotion. The fully oxide‐based catalyst resists sintering under repeated regeneration, outperforming benchmark PtSn and CrOx catalysts with exceptional stability over 30 dehydrogenation–regeneration cycles ...
