Bioethics and the World Order: A Curious Coincidence Between Chinese and African Approaches

Developing World Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The post‐1945 world order is standardly pictured as a Westphalian system, in which each state is equal under the law with sovereign authority over its territories. This paper argues that the Westphalian system is changing and examines the implications for bioethics. We show that cross‐border health, economic, ecologic, and sociopolitical risks

Underpowered studies and exaggerated effects: A replication and re‐evaluation of the magnitude of anchoring effects

Economic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 387-402, April 2025.
Abstract We reconsider one of the most widely studied behavioral biases: anchoring effects. We estimate that study designs in this literature, including replication studies, routinely fail to achieve statistical power of more than 30%. This study replicates an anchoring study that reported an effect size of a 31% increase in participants' bids.

Do Banks Learn From Natural Disasters? Evidence From the U.S. Financial Sector

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines whether U.S. banks learn from natural disasters. We explore several potential channels of adjustment and find that exposed banks primarily respond by adopting precautionary capital measures. This behaviour is evident both in the long run, when assessing divergent trends in the evolution of equity over time, and in the short

Early‐Life Disaster Exposure and the Investment Response to Monetary Policy

Financial Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We place CEOs' formative experiences at the center of analyzing how firms respond to monetary policy. Specifically, we examine how early‐life exposure to natural disasters shapes CEOs’ investment behavior following monetary shocks. CEOs with exposure to moderate natural disasters during their formative years exhibit stronger risk‐taking ...

Subpixel Target Detection in Hyperspectral Imaging Using a Deep Neural Network With a Variable Stepsize Gradient Descent Method

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
The main difficulty in using artificial neural networks, which are designed for classification, to detect a rare subpixel target in hyperspectral imaging is that there is typically only one actual target pixel available for training the neural networks ...

Effects of the Invasive Round Goby on Swedish Recreational Fishing Values

Fisheries 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

Using Long‐Term Monitoring Data to Assess Temporal Patterns in Fish Community Assemblages in Florida Lakes

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In an effort to increase the relevancy of fish community data for management, we used fish community data to conduct a statewide assessment of Florida's freshwater fisheries resources and compare the relationships between environmental factors and freshwater fish communities over time.

Rapid increase in abundance and distribution of invasive pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) within a diverse, large Barents Sea catchment

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pink salmon originate from the North Pacific area but were introduced into northwest Russia from the late 1950s onwards. Since 2017, the alien species has increased dramatically in abundance and rapidly invaded adjacent areas of the North Atlantic region.
