Natural Resources and Political Patronage in Africa: An Ethnicity Level Analysis

open access: yesReview of Development Economics, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 1957-1972, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We investigate the effect of resource discoveries on ethnicity‐level political patronage in Africa using a large geospatial dataset of 254 ethnic groups in 15 countries over the period 1960–2004. We find that the first (or single first) resource discovery in a virgin ethnic homeland increases the share of cabinet posts of that ethnicity.

Platform competition and strategic trade‐offs for complementors: Heterogeneous reactions to the entry of a new platform

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, Volume 47, Issue 6, Page 1671-1729, June 2026.
Abstract Research Summary We study how the entry of a rival platform affects the strategies of the incumbent's complementors. The latter face a trade‐off: While the entry threatens their benefits from indirect network effects, it also allows them to escape intense within‐platform competition.

Study on the Mechanism of the Influence of Injection Medium and Gas Injection Method on the Recovery Rate of Fuman Oilfield in Tarim Basin

open access: yesGeofluids, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study investigates the impact of different injection media and gas injection methods on oil recovery in the Fuman Oilfield within the Tarim Basin, aiming to optimize gas injection strategies for enhancing oil recovery in the Manshen 4 well area, known for its light, low‐viscosity, low‐sulfur volatile oil and stable strata thickness.
