Point and Risk estImation Using an enSemble of Models for Nowcasting: PRISM‐Now

open access: yesJournal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose PRISM‐Now, a novel ensemble forecasting system for near‐term GDP projection. Recognizing that relevant economic information evolves over time, we treat forecasts from multiple base models as draws from a mixture distribution of “good” and “bad” estimates, whose composition changes continuously and cannot be identified ex ante.

Nowcasting World Trade With Machine Learning: A Three‐Step Approach

open access: yesJournal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We nowcast world trade using machine learning, distinguishing between tree‐based methods (random forest and gradient boosting) and their linear‐regression‐based counterparts (macroeconomic random forest and gradient boosting—linear). While much less used in the literature, the latter are found to outperform not only the tree‐based techniques ...

Breeding switchgrass for reduced nitrogen demand

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Breeding has improved switchgrass biomass yield, but productivity is still heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer application. The genetic diversity needed to improve nitrogen use efficiency of switchgrass remains underused, mainly because of the slow and laborious breeding process, thus leaving the crop's high nitrogen demand as a major barrier to ...

Rethinking a positive‐sum game: US FDI location decisions in the presence of Chinese FDI

open access: yesGlobal Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This study examines how rising Chinese outbound foreign direct investment (OFDI) in third‐country markets shapes US MNEs' foreign direct investment location decisions amid escalating US–China geopolitical rivalry. US firms initially benefit from complementary co‐location dynamics, as Chinese OFDI—particularly in infrastructure—
