Does nature shape risk preferences? Evidence from Chile, Norway, and Tanzania

open access: yesEconomic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 568-590, April 2025.
Abstract Does exposure to a more risky environment affect risk preferences? Going beyond single‐case study evidence, we report results from five surveys conducted in three countries and link this with administrative data to study whether a link between exposure and preferences is detectable and widespread. We find no evidence for endogenous preferences

Relationships Between Oceanic Primary Production, Human Habitation and Variation in the Life‐History Traits of Coral Reef Fishes Across the Northern Line Islands

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biophysical processes associated with large‐scale nearshore oceanographic upwelling can influence coral reef communities by increasing the delivery of nutrient subsidies and food resources to reefs. However, these processes occur alongside anthropogenic activities that may alter ecological patterns across coral reef ecosystems.
