A conceptual model for the diapause intensity curve and termination in overwintering Japanese pine sawyer larvae, Monochamus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Larval diapause intensity of Monochamus alternatus follows a declining curve, beginning with an initial refractory phase and reaching termination after approximately 110 days of chilling at 9°C. Residual inhibitory state strongly influenced post‐chilling development; additional chilling shortened the diapause period more at 18°C than at warmer ...

Female Education and Child Marriage

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine why the education of young girls has historically lagged behind that of young boys across different countries. Using data from 105 countries during 1990–2020, we discover some evidence that is consistent with the idea that parents in many traditional societies reduce investments in the primary schooling of their daughters after they

Post‐rice soybeans and peanuts differ in performance, water use, and water‐use efficiency in the rainfed lowlands

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
This study examined patterns of water use and water‐use efficiency in soybeans (Glycine max) and peanuts (Arachis hypogaea), for which data are rare, to assess their suitability as post‐rice (Oryza sativa L.) crops in the rainfed lowlands.

Tariff: The Most Beautiful Word in the Dictionary?

Review of International Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider the welfare impacts of US tariff policy at levels proposed by President Donald J. Trump. General‐equilibrium simulations under a widely used transparent one‐sector trade model reveal sizable US welfare losses. When we extend the model to include bilateral firm selection and high resolution input–output linkages, the US losses ...

Aid to Fight AIDS: An Empirical Analysis of HIV‐Specific Development Aid Effectiveness

Scottish Journal of Political Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using an excludable instrument for HIV‐specific aid, we investigate its effectiveness on HIV outcomes viz., prevalence and death rates. We theorize that HIV‐specific aid fills the funding gap that prevents governments from committing adequate resources to effectively address the epidemic.

Internet, Inequality, and Regime Stability

Scottish Journal of Political Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the link between income inequality and political instability, focusing on the moderating role of Internet penetration. Using data from over 120 countries (1996–2020), we find a conditional relationship: in low‐Internet countries, higher inequality associates with lower instability, likely due to limited political awareness ...
