Exploring Spatial Patterns in Inefficiency Using a Stationary Gaussian Random Field
ABSTRACT This article presents a semiparametric stochastic frontier model that accounts for unobserved spatial heterogeneity in inefficiency by incorporating a stationary Gaussian random field based on geographic coordinates into the inefficiency scaling function. This approach captures spatial patterns in inefficiency at a fine scale.

Sea‐Level Rise Adaptation and Collaboration in Polycentric Governance: A Comparison of Three Regions
ABSTRACT Adaptation to sea‐level rise confronts coastal communities worldwide with a new set of collective action problems that require collaboration. When does collaboration result in concrete action for adaptation? To address this question, we combine the Ecology of Games and Collaborative Governance frameworks using a comparative analysis of three ...

The Price of Prosperity? A Historical Account of Regulating Industrial Pollution in the Netherlands
ABSTRACT Regulatory governance and state‐corporate crime studies link persistent industrial pollution to long‐term regulatory–industry interactions, yet little is known about how these interactions evolve and become entrenched. This article examines two enduring cases of industrial pollution in the Netherlands—Hoogovens/Tata Steel and DuPont de Nemours/

Abstract Cold‐water immersion (CWI) is among the most widely used post‐exercise recovery modalities in elite sport and clinical rehabilitation, yet a fundamental paradox now emerges from the evidence: the same protocols that accelerate parasympathetic reactivation and reduce perceived muscle soreness also suppress the molecular and cellular machinery ...

ABSTRACT Early functional connectivity within the brain's reward circuitry may provide insight into the developmental origins of individual differences in pleasure and motivation. This study examined resting‐state functional connectivity between two key reward‐related regions, the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA), in 94 one ...
