Why is competition in the European football market failing, and what should be done about it?
Economic Affairs, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 59-75, February 2026.Abstract The European football (soccer) market increasingly funnels rents to superstar players and intermediaries while weakening competitive balance. We trace this dynamic to two forces: (a) technological innovation that globalised broadcasting and magnified superstar returns, and (b) legal rulings boosting player mobility and causing bidding wars ...

Why Personnel Selection Should Target Job Performance AND Well‐Being
International Journal of Selection and Assessment, Volume 34, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT In this “Provocation Article”, we argue that the sole focus of personnel selection research and practice on job performance criteria represents a substantial limitation. While job performance remains a key outcome, employee well‐being is also relevant—both as an intrinsic value and as a predictor of important organizational outcomes such as ...

Sustainability and Its Seven Sisters
Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT There are many concepts of sustainability. Robert Solow argued that sustainability would consist of conserving human well‐being over the “very long run”, through the interactions of the environment and other stocks in human decisions and activity.

How Inheritance Expectations Impact Household Savings
Review of Income and Wealth, Volume 72, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines how expecting to receive an inheritance impacts household savings. Life‐cycle consumption models indicate that the expectation of inheriting should reduce current savings for forward‐thinking consumers. We investigate this economic prediction, considering factors such as liquidity constraints and education.

Omni Geometry Representation Learning Versus Large Language Models for Geospatial Entity Resolution
Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT The development, integration, and maintenance of geospatial databases rely heavily on efficient and accurate matching procedures of Geospatial Entity Resolution (ER). While resolution of points‐of‐interest (POIs) has been widely addressed, resolution of entities with diverse geometries has been largely overlooked.

One‐Dimensional Finite Elements With Arbitrary Cross‐Sectional Displacement Fields
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.ABSTRACT This paper introduces an unprecedented unified approach for developing structural theories with an arbitrary kinematic variable over the beam cross‐section. Each of the three displacement variables can be analyzed using an independent expansion function. Both the order of the expansion and the number of terms in each field can be any. That is,
