Environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow prices for dairy farms

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow price for Ontario dairy farms. We use an input‐oriented directional distance function and farm‐level data from 2000 to 2020. First, we find that while GHG emissions per cow increase with higher milk yields, emission intensity decreases as milk yield per cow increases.

Block scheduling in practice: An optimal decomposition strategy for nonidentical operating rooms

Decision Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract We develop and implement a Master Surgery Schedule for a real‐life hospital, assigning operating room (OR) time to surgical specialties over a multi‐week horizon. Through action research, we identify a critical operational challenge: the issue of split blocks. Split blocks allow two specialties to share an OR on the same day—one in the morning,

From Regression to Reasoning: Predicting M&A Announcement Returns With Large Language Models

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates whether large language models (LLMs) can predict short‐term market reactions to M&A announcements. We prompt OpenAI's latest reasoning models (o3, GPT‐5, and GPT‐5.1) to forecast whether the combined market value of acquirer and target will increase or decrease, drawing on deal‐, firm‐, and macroeconomic data for large ...
