All in the family: Kidney donation in aging Japan

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the ethical and cultural logics shaping living donor kidney transplantation in Japan, where donation is restricted to kin and deceased donation remains rare. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a Tokyo‐area hospital, it analyzes how Japan's kin‐based transplantation regime contrasts with the utilitarian model dominant in

Do Consumers Respond to Marginal Prices at Kink Points? Evidence From 40+ Million Electricity Bills in Ethiopia

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Leveraging over 40 million residential electricity billing records from more than one million meters in Ethiopia, we test whether consumers respond to marginal prices at kink points under an increasing block tariff (IBT). We exploit a unique institutional setting in which two distinct billing systems (manual postpaid and automated prepaid ...

Politics and Justice: Aristotle, Rawls, and the Case for Realism in Political Theory

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristotle's analysis of stasis in Book V of the Politics offers a striking example of “distinctively political thought,” as advocated by Bernard Williams's political realism, and in contrast to the moralist approach exemplified by John Rawls. Aristotle identifies disputes over justice, driven by partial and conflicting conceptions of equality,

Diversity and Plasticity of Hydraulic Traits Across a Relative Moisture Supply Gradient: Results From Multiple Common Gardens

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining cellular hydration is essential for plant metabolic activity and carbon gain. Plants typically maintain hydration through efficiency of water transport networks, the ability to avoid network disruption, and retention of water via accumulation of osmotica. Given their global domain and their enduring presence across geological eras,
