Can prisons move people into better jobs? A look at correctional vocational training programs and sectoral employment outcomes

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Three‐quarters of US prisons offer vocational training programs, which aim to place trainees in middle‐skills jobs in specific occupational sectors post‐release.

Resource Availability and Habitat Quality Drive Time‐Lag Effects in High‐Altitude Ungulate Distribution

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Our analysis revealed that while climate strongly influenced species distributions, habitat change drove most observed delays in distribution responses. In terms of community ecology, dispersed communities exhibited shorter time lags than concentrated groups. Analyses of lag duration revealed a 5–6‐year distribution lag effect in high‐altitude ungulate

Using US drive‐in theater market (1945–1957) data, we find robust evidence for this non‐monotonic relationship ...

Abacus, EarlyView.
This paper examines empirically the association between sustainability restatements (SRS), that is, restatements in sustainability reports, and analyst forecast accuracy, measured by analysts’ forecast errors for current‐year earnings. We find that SRS are related to greater earnings forecast errors, especially when they are related to environmental or
