Economic inequality and social mobility in preindustrial societies: What we know, what we don't (but should) know

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent years economic inequality has become a major research topic in economic history. However, much remains to be done to complete our knowledge of long‐term distributive dynamics. This article highlights several promising avenues for future research, focusing on the preindustrial period.

Insights into the catalytic mechanism of formate dehydrogenases from different microbial sources

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This integrated study combines experimental enzyme kinetics with QM/MM simulations to map the catalytic mechanisms of four formate dehydrogenases at the atomic level. This approach reveals the key determinants of catalytic efficiency and guides the rational design of biocatalysts for effective CO2 reduction—a crucial step towards sustainable ...

Risk Perceptions and Corporate Financing Behavior

open access: yesFinancial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a recently developed measure of financial market risk perceptions, we show that risk perceptions affect firm‐level corporate financing behavior. Firms tend to adjust their capital structures to cater to investors' appetite for risk. When perceived risks are low, firms tend to choose more leveraged capital structures to take advantage of ...

Simulating the Impacts of Deep Geothermal Development on Shallow Hydrothermal Resources in a Rocky Mountain Rift Valley

open access: yesGroundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Numerical modeling has been widely used to assess the feasibility of geothermal energy development at sites across the world, but modeling applications simulating the potential impacts on shallow hydrothermal resources and surface water are relatively scarce. In this study, we apply the MODFLOW 6 groundwater energy (GWE) code to simulate fully

Optimal Healthcare Contracts: Theory and Empirical Evidence

open access: yesJournal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate the contracts offered by a large healthcare purchaser to health service providers. Contracts are based on the DRG principle that all hospitalizations in a diagnosis group are reimbursed at the same rate. This principle is relaxed in practice, as in several cases, the amount reimbursed within each DRG exhibits ...
