Ideology on Trial: How CEO Political Leanings Shape Firms' Propensity to Litigate Over Patents

open access: yesR&D Management, Volume 56, Issue 4, Page 620-640, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how CEOs' political ideology affects corporate decisions to sue for patent infringement. Integrating upper‐echelons and behavioral‐agency perspectives, we theorize that conservative‐leaning CEOs—marked by heightened threat sensitivity and low tolerance for ambiguity—frame infringement as a looming loss and therefore ...

Equivalent Subsurface Thermal Characteristics for Heterogeneous Surfaces

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Land‐surface and atmospheric models often represent subgrid‐scale variability using a single set of effective properties. Estimating these equivalent properties is critical for predicting land‐atmosphere exchanges accurately, but challenging when materials with distinct radiative and thermal characteristics coexist, particularly in urban ...
