Accurate Nonstandard Path Integral Models for Arbitrary Dielectric Boundaries in 2-D NS-FDTD Domains

Sensors
An efficient path integral (PI) model for the accurate analysis of curved dielectric structures on coarse grids via the two-dimensional nonstandard finite-difference time-domain (NS-FDTD) technique is introduced in this paper.

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Do Taxpayers Embrace Social Norms to Comply? Empirical Evidence From Indonesia

Asian-Pacific Economic Literature, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the powerful role societal norms play in shaping taxpayers' behaviour in Indonesia, with a focus on how the prevalence of compliance influences both tax filing and payment practices. By examining the ratio of tax evaders to compliant taxpayers in specific regions, we measured the strength of these norms and explored their ...

Broke Autocrats, Broken Elections: Trade Shocks and Electoral Fraud in Autocracies

Economics &Politics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We argue that when terms‐of‐trade (ToT) shocks reduce resource rents, autocrats lose the fiscal capacity to sustain loyalty through patronage and increasingly rely on electoral manipulation as a survival strategy. We present a simple model in which rents finance patronage in normal times, while adverse shocks reduce the effectiveness of ...

Coworking spaces and workplaces of the future: Critical perspectives on community, context and change

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The last decade has witnessed increased demand by employers and workers for greater flexibility, especially regarding remote and hybrid work. There has therefore been a substantial increase in academic interest in coworking, including within business and management studies. We conduct a systematic literature review of research on coworking and

Geopolitical Risk and Domestic Bank Deposits

Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the relationship between global geopolitical risk and bank deposit flows across a wide panel of European countries. Motivated by the pivotal role of deposit stability for financial intermediation and systemic resilience, we explore whether geopolitical shocks alter depositors’ portfolio choices.

Integrating Merit and Equality to Address Gender Inequality at Work

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although the extant literature provides a comprehensive account of workplace gender inequalities, the mechanisms that produce inequalities, and the underlying assumptions and principles of those mechanisms, remain opaque. The concept of “merit,” although morally persuasive and ubiquitous in organizational contexts, is a significant point of ...
