Does Inequality Blur Class Lines? Meritocratic Attitudes in Comparative Perspective

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scholars of inequality generally find that lower‐class individuals are more skeptical of meritocratic narratives that link economic success to individual work effort.

Corporate Tax System Complexity and Investment Sensitivity to Tax Policy Changes

Journal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.

Edges as ecological filters: Asymmetrical orientation‐specific arthropod activity across forest boundaries

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.

Tax Planning Under Pressure: The Impact of Carbon Emissions Management Post‐Paris Agreement

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how the Paris Agreement affects corporate tax planning across a global data set. We find that emissions‐reducing firms are associated with higher levels of tax planning than nonemissions‐reducing firms. The effect is stronger for firms facing tighter cost pass‐through constraints, such as operating in more competitive markets, with ...
