Quantifying Mozambique's Peace Dividend: An Application of the Synthetic Control Method
Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using the synthetic control method and data from 20 African countries, this study quantifies the peace dividend in Mozambique, a country that experienced over 15 years of civil war. More specifically, we use data from 1977 to 2018 to investigate whether the end of the civil war in Mozambique in 1992 brought significant benefits to the country ...

3G Internet Diffusion and Secondary Education Attainment: Evidence of Opportunity Cost in Vietnam
Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mobile internet diffusion has led to significant societal and economic transformations since its early diffusion, especially in the Global South. This has implied changes in human capital formation, particularly through education, and has reshaped the trade‐off between education and employment, especially among the younger population.

From Expansion to Erosion: The Global Trajectory of Judicial Independence, 1960–2018
Sociological Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Judicial independence expanded globally throughout the twentieth century, but this trajectory has recently come under pressure. In recent years, governments around the world have increasingly challenged judicial autonomy. This study unpacks this global reversal by analyzing data from 156 states between 1960 and 2018.

Mathematical model of the zebrafish ventricular cardiomyocyte action potential and calcium transient
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend This study presents the development and validation of the first biophysically detailed computational model of the zebrafish ventricular action potential (AP). The model is based on a human cardiomyocyte framework and reparameterized using published and newly generated patch‐clamp recordings of zebrafish ionic currents.

Production routing decisions in a two‐echelon supply chain with multiple delivery modes
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 3385-3421, September 2026.Abstract We study an original two‐echelon production routing problem with multiple delivery modes (2E‐PRP‐MDM). In the first echelon, the primary production facility is tasked with satisfying the demands of two distinct entities: a set of warehouses and a set of customers through direct shipments. In the second echelon, warehouses become delivery hubs,
