Deindustrialization and demographic change: Evidence from big plant closures and downsizing

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the causal effect of big manufacturing plant closures and downsizing on the socioeconomic composition of Canadian cities between 2001 and 2021. Our instrumental variables estimates show that big manufacturing plant closures and downsizing—large local labour demand shocks—lead to less population growth and a shift in the demographic

LeafFit: Plant Assets Creation from 3D Gaussian Splatting

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose LeafFit, a pipeline that converts 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) of individual plants into editable, instanced mesh assets. While 3DGS faithfully captures complex foliage, its high memory footprint and lack of mesh topology make it incompatible with traditional game production workflows. We address this by leveraging the repetition of

Finite Element Analysis of Dentoalveolar Stress in Combat Sports Using Hybrid and Conventional Mouthguards

Dental Traumatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study aimed to contribute to the development of modern mouthguards by evaluating the stresses generated by hook and uppercut punches applied during combat sports on dentoalveolar structures and mouthguards, the protective effectiveness of different mouthguard designs, and the resulting deformations using three‐dimensional finite ...

Foundation governance for the purposeful ownership of enterprise

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Foundation‐owned companies are regarded as real‐world examples of commitment to a company purpose, and several world‐class companies have this ownership structure. They have been found to perform surprisingly well, given the accountability and incentive problems anticipated by conventional economic theories when nonprofit organizations own ...

Collective Bargaining and Monopsony: The Regulation of Noncompete Agreements in France

Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Can collective bargaining mitigate monopsony power? This paper studies the extent to which collective agreements regulating employee noncompete clauses affect firm‐level markdowns in French manufacturing. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences design, we find that such regulation reduces markdowns by 1.3%–2.2% on average.

Counter‐Plantation Imaginaries: Deproletarianisation and Struggle for Autonomy in India

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the decline of the 2015 Pembillai Orumai movement in India's Munnar tea belt as an event revealing the dialectical relationship between labour struggle and agrarian capitalism within the plantation complex. Although widely celebrated for securing wage gains through a historic Dalit woman–led strike, the movement's rapid ...
