From Tap Water Access to Income‐Generating Work Time: Evidence From Rural China
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines whether household tap water access affects income‐generating work time among employed rural adults in China. While existing studies have mainly examined the effects of improved water access on employment participation, off‐farm transition and household income, this paper focuses on the intensive margin of labour supply ...

Climate Change and (Mal)Adaptation in Tourism‐Intensive Alpine Regions
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Tourism, especially in winter, accounts for a large share of economic income in Alpine regions. At the same time, these regions are more severely affected by climate change, leading to shorter winter seasons and reduced snow cover. This presents a pressing issue for areas reliant on income from winter tourism through activities such as skiing.

The Inverted Circuit: Attribution, Answerability, and Accountability in Canadian Health Governance
The Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.Policy Points Canada and the United States have not failed for want of accountability mechanisms in health governance. They have failed because accountability is repeatedly invoked where attribution and answerability are not already standing, so the result is the punishment of visible individuals rather than structural correction.
