The effect of high school gender composition on university major choice: Evidence from Canada
Economic Inquiry, EarlyView.Abstract Does the gender composition of high school peers affect whether students pursue a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) major at university? Using administrative data from British Columbia, Canada, I exploit idiosyncratic within‐school variation in gender composition. I find that having larger proportions of female peers has

Fluctuations of Omega-killed level-dependent spectrally negative Lévy processes [PDF]
In this paper, we solve exit problems for a level-dependent Lévy process which is exponentially killed with a killing intensity that depends on the present state of the process. Moreover, we analyse the respective resolvents.

From dilemmas to paradoxes: A complex systems view of sustainability management in UK universities
European Management Review, EarlyView.Abstract Recently, universities have transformed from passive contributors to active participants in the global sustainability movement. However, the absence of robust theoretical frameworks and larger‐scale samples has limited the progress that universities can make towards becoming sustainable.

Optimal switching between two spectrally negative Lévy processes to minimise ruin probability [PDF]
, 2020 We consider an optimal underwriting problem where given two insurance portfolios that generate cash flows according to two spectrally negative Lévy processes of bounded variation X and Y, one has to underwrite adaptively a convex combination of the two ...

Before It Was ‘New’: A Neglected History of Lived Experience–Led Criminal Justice
The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A growing range of criminal justice initiatives are being shaped and delivered by people with lived experience, including peer mentoring, prisoner councils and policy advocacy roles. While often seen as recent innovations, we reveal a deeper, largely unacknowledged history dating back to at least the 19th century.

From inclusion to (neuro)divergent safe space in organizations
International Journal of Management Reviews, EarlyView.Abstract Neurodiversity in organizations remains an underexplored area, leaving gaps in understanding how organizations may create safe spaces for and with neurodivergent employees. This article engages with current neuro‐inclusion debates and advocates for a shift towards a framework of (neuro)divergent safe space, offering a more refined exploration ...

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.Background Altered social cognition in autism may be influenced by difficulties in domain‐general functions, such as selective attention. Here, we manipulated the requirement for selective attention during a visual perspective taking (VPT) task and used neurophysiological indices to delineate underlying mechanisms.

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Following recent calls to deepen understanding of the Global Pesticide Complex, this article delves into the China‐to‐Australia supply chain of a single herbicide—paraquat. First released in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, acutely toxic paraquat is now primarily produced in China.

Occupation times of spectrally negative Lévy processes with applications
In this paper, we compute the Laplace transform of occupation times (of the negative half-line) of spectrally negative Lévy processes. Our results are extensions of known results for standard Brownian motion and jump-diffusion processes.

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.Myxomatous mitral valve disease, an acquired valvular degeneration, is the most common cardiac disorder in dogs, affecting approximately 10% of dogs in primary care veterinary practice. Dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease frequently require anaesthesia for routine procedures.
