Multi-Period Rent-Seeking Contests with Carryover: Theory and Experimental Evidence [PDF]
The majority of theoretical and experimental research stemming from Tullock’s (1980) model of rent-seeking considers static, single-period contests. This paper contributes to a growing body of research on multi-period rent-seeking contests by developing ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agricultural soils offer great potential for carbon sequestration through humus formation. One way to motivate farmers to build up humus is through humus programs. These are still at an early stage of development, poorly explored, and the number of participating farmers is low. Our aim is to explain the heterogeneity of farmers' willingness to

Flexible Memory: Progress, Challenges, and Opportunities
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Flexible memory technology is crucial for flexible electronics integration. This review covers its historical evolution, evaluates rigid systems, proposes a flexible memory framework based on multiple mechanisms, stresses material design's role, presents a coupling model for performance optimization, and points out future directions.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work presents a tip‐growing eversion robot that uses phase‐changing alloys for reversible stiffening and localized actuation, achieving 43× stiffness modulation, 15× force amplification, and segmental steering. The system enables precise navigation and force delivery in constrained, tortuous pathways.

Rent-seeking competition from state coffers in Greece: a calibrated DSGE model [PDF]
We incorporate an uncoordinated redistributive struggle for extra fiscal privileges and favors into an otherwise standard dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Popular society increasingly questions preferences that drive many resource allocations and production decisions, with many groups actively seeking to alter those preferences to achieve changes to resource use. Agricultural and applied economists, who are already equipped with excellent technical skills to undertake consumer preference and ...

Rent-seeking For Public Goods: Group´s Size and Wealth Heterogeneity [PDF]
In this paper, we study how between-group wealth and size heterogeneity affectsuccess probabilities as well as aggregate rent-seeking efforts when two groups compete for the allocation of a pure public good.

Economics of land‐based carbon mitigation
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Agricultural land holds tremendous potential to contribute to net zero greenhouse gas emission goals by providing low carbon renewable energy to displace fossil fuels and by serving as a sink for sequestering carbon in the soil with climate‐smart practices. This potential is, however, far from being realized.
