Examination of Afghanistan's Development Traps

Regional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract We examine the factors behind Afghanistan's persistent underdevelopment. Drawing on various theories of development traps operating at the demographic, economic and institutional levels, we seek to assess whether and to what extent their functioning affects Afghanistan's development. To capture the functioning of development traps empirically,

Revealing Structure–Property Coupling During Thermal Conversion of Metal–Organic Frameworks

Small, EarlyView.
Multifrequency atomic force microscopy (AFM) combined with hybrid density functional theory (DFT) and complementary spectroscopic techniques uncovers transient nanoscale states during Cu‐BTC MOF conversion. Intermediate Cu2O/CuO‐carbon nanocomposites maximize mechanical robustness and functionality, while fully oxidized porous CuO enhances light ...

Why Does Individualism Affect Economic Development: Is It Values, Policies, or Institutions?

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial body of literature highlights the positive roles of individualism and economic freedom in fostering prosperity, and recent work links the two. This paper disentangles their contributions to economic development. In cross‐country data, we show that both are independently associated with per capita income, even after extensive ...

A Bird's Eye View of English Grammar: Connecting the Dots in Two Dimensions

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, discussions on grammar instruction have primarily focused on teaching methodologies, such as whether grammar should be taught explicitly or implicitly, and whether the focus should be on form or forms. This paper, however, shifts the focus to grammar itself, aiming to provide a “shape” for pedagogical grammar.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

CAPITALIZING CRISIS: Urban Extractivism in Athens Amidst Neoliberal Restructurings

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article we examine the post‐2009 transformation of Athens through the analytical lens of urban extractivism. We argue that the Greek sovereign debt crisis did not operate as a temporary disruption, but as a durable political condition that enabled the institutionalization of extractive urban governance.

Intra‐Seasonal Crop Management and the Potential Benefit of Seasonal Precipitation Forecasts: Farm‐Level Embedded Risk Analysis in Ethiopia

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How large is the potential benefit for farmers from obtaining forecasts of total rainfall in the upcoming season? This critically depends on the local farm system and the crop management actions available to farmers to respond to the forecasts issued. Studies assessing the financial value of seasonal precipitation forecasts have so far focused
