Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Constructed value of information (CVoI) is an expert elicitation decision‐analytic tool used to prioritize sources of uncertainty based on their potential to improve decision outcomes if resolved. Despite increased application of CVoI, the robustness of CVoI prioritization of sources of uncertainty relative to differences in expert elicitation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Using 1H NMR metabolomics, we measured polar and lipid metabolites from human blood neutrophils from people with frailty (n = 31, mean age 84Y), people with rheumatoid arthritis (n = 16, mean age 55Y), robust older (n = 24, mean age 66Y) and healthy younger people (n = 21, mean age 22Y).

When in Doubt, Tax More Progressively? Uncertainty and Progressive Income Taxation
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the optimal income tax problem under parameter uncertainty about household preferences and wage dynamics. We derive conditions characterizing how such uncertainty affects optimal tax policy. To quantify the effect, we estimate a life‐cycle model using US data and a Bayesian approach.

Dynamics of High‐Growth Young Firms and the Role of Venture Capitalists
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Motivated by the substantial growth and upfront investments of venture capital (VC)‐backed firms observed in administrative US Census data, this study develops a life‐cycle firm dynamics model. In the model, startups choose the source of financing from VC, angel investors, or banks, depending on their growth potential, and invest in innovation.

Accounting for the Evolution of China's Production and Trade Patterns
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the evolution of China's production and trade patterns during its integration into the global economy. Using firm‐level microdata, we document how production and exports shifted across industries and within industries across firms.

Labor Market Monopsony Power and the Dynamic Gains to Openness Reforms
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We embed labor market monopsony into a dynamic heterogeneous‐firm general equilibrium model with exporting, horizontal FDI, and rich firm lifecycle dynamics. Rising marginal costs with monopsony slow and limit incumbent firm growth in response to liberalization, shifting adjustment to the extensive margin.

A new family of models with generalized orientation in data envelopment analysis
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In the framework of data envelopment analysis, we review directional models and show that they are inadequate when inputs and outputs are improved simultaneously under constant returns to scale. Conversely, we introduce a new family of quadratically constrained models with generalized orientation and demonstrate that these models overcome this

Multi‐objective maritime vessel routing with safety considerations
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The routing of maritime vessels is a challenging optimization problem that involves finding an adequate balance between conflicting and multiple objectives. This paper proposes a methodology based on inverse optimization to find appropriate objective weights that account for conflicting objectives. To formulate the inverse optimization problem,

An approach to minimize inventory risk due to weather using buyback contract with weather rebate
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract This paper addresses the inventory risk owing to weather fluctuations faced by retail companies and designs a new class of contract incorporating financial risk hedging. The designed contract not only coordinates the supply chain as the buyback contract does but also improves the supply chain profit by considering the inventory risk due to ...
