American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

The role of venture‐financed startups in innovation for US agriculture
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract To evaluate the role played by startup companies in the innovation ecosystem of US agriculture, we compile a unique dataset of 6024 new entrants founded 1987–2019 that details their financing lifecycles, annual economic performance, and patenting activities.

Cobalt‐Catalyzed C─N Bond Formation via Metal‐Hydride Hydrogen Atom Transfer (MHAT)
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Cobalt‐catalyzed metal‐hydride hydrogen atom transfer (Co‐MHAT) converts simple alkenes into C─N bonds under mild, near‐neutral conditions. A shared Co─H‐initiated radical/organocobalt intermediate is channeled into radical trapping, radical‐polar crossover, or radical ligand transfer, unifying hydroamination, hydroazidation, hydroamidation, and remote

APPLICATION OF THE ECONOMIC THRESHOLD FOR INTERSEASONAL PEST CONTROL [PDF]
We show how an interseasonal pest control problem can be simplified to enable an intraseasonal model to be empirically applied, extending the range of application of the intraseasonal model. Three alternative economic thresholds are compared. The optimal

Improving access to new technologies: An experiment with Kenyan input sellers
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Agrodealers play a critical role in rural economies, selling essential inputs for agricultural production, stocking new products, and providing farmers with technical advice. However, uncertainty can discourage them from stocking newer, less familiar products, limiting the availability of innovative technologies and leading to market failures ...

Conformationally Switchable Copper(I) Complexes Amplify BODIPY Triplet Photosensitization
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Coupling a structurally switchable Cu(I) complex to an organic light‐harvesting chromophore boosts photoinduced intersystem crossing via the transient formation of a Cu(II) intermediate. Spectroscopic, physical, computational, and photocatalytic studies support this unique new approach to solar energy upconversion.

Risk management externalities in agrifood supply chains
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Firms may under‐ or over‐invest in risk management from the social planner's perspective, resulting in a negative externality on other economic agents in the supply chain. The externality of risk management is particularly relevant for agrifood supply chains, which frequently experience disruptions and play a primary role in preventing major ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.
