Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NBS) for climate adaptation encompass a range of approaches that work with nature to increase resilience to climate change while providing ecological, economic and social co‐benefits. These solutions have frequently been put forward for application in urban contexts, such as the creation of urban forests, but can ...

Governing Within the Constraints of Carbon Budgets: Regional Insights From Sweden
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Staying within the limits of a rapidly shrinking global carbon budget while avoiding dependency on negative emissions technologies and carbon dioxide removal remains a significant challenge in a multi‐level governance system, where resources and responsibilities are dispersed among different actors.

Pitman Efficiencies of Sequential Tests and Uniform Limit Theorems in Nonparametric Statistics
The Annals of Statistics, 1978 In this paper Pitman's method of constructing and comparing tests based on statistics which are asymptotically normal under the null hypothesis and the local alternatives is extended to sequential tests of statistical hypotheses. The asymptotic normality assumption in Pitman's theory is replaced in its sequential analogue by the weak convergence of ...

New $U$-empirical tests of symmetry based on extremal order statistics, and their efficiencies
, 2014 We use a characterization of symmetry in terms of extremal order statistics which enables to build several new nonparametric tests of symmetry. We discuss their limiting distributions and calculate their local exact Bahadur efficiency under location ...

Practice adoption in MNCS: A multi‐level interactionist model of trait activation
Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary Sharing knowledge through organizational practices is an important source of advantage for multinational corporations (MNCs). While prior research on practice adoption by subsidiaries of MNCs has identified several individual and organizational factors, this study examines their interplay in the context of HQ‐mandated ...

Talent Management in SMEs: Unraveling the Role of Contextual Factors
Human Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Employing a multiple case study analysis, this paper explores the contextual factors—internal, external, and relational—that affect small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) in designing their approaches to talent management (TM). Results underscore the significance of two prominent internal variables—namely, organizational size and ownership ...

On the limiting Pitman asymptotic relative efficiency of two Cramér-von Mises tests
, 2013 The Cramér-von Mises test is one of the classical goodness-of-fit tests, for simple as well as for composite null hypotheses. In the classical theory of independent and identically distributed data the corresponding test statistic is based on the empirical distribution function, which is well known to be the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator ...

Generalized Species Sampling Priors with Latent Beta reinforcements
, 2014 Many popular Bayesian nonparametric priors can be characterized in terms of exchangeable species sampling sequences. However, in some applications, exchangeability may not be appropriate. We introduce a {novel and probabilistically coherent family of non-
