Disasters, Dictators, and Donors: The Impact of Foreign Aid on Economic Activity (Mis)Reporting
Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines how governments manipulate economic data to secure more foreign disaster aid. By using nighttime lighting as a reliable measure of economic activity, we make two key findings: (1) foreign disaster aid is positively linked to a country's understatement of its gross domestic product, indicating a deliberate strategy to ...

Beyond the war: Essays on loss, resilience and Hope. Introduction to a “Ukrainian section”
Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract This short essay examines epistemic injustice within contemporary hierarchies of knowledge, and it argues for more insightful, sensuous, and grassroots forms of knowledge production “from the edges” to shine a light on the persistent inequality between ways of knowing and ways of (de)valuing different epistemologies.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.Abstract Global kilometer‐scale model simulations have demonstrated clear benefits from refining horizontal resolution in representing mesoscale weather phenomena, yet the role of vertical resolution remains comparatively underexplored. To address this gap, 40‐day experiments with the model for prediction across scales systematically varied both ...

Hailstorm Events Over a Maritime Tropical Region: Environmental Influences on Microphysics
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.Abstract Building on a previous study showing that NetCAPE0C—formulated as CAPE calculated up to the 0° ${}^{\circ}$C isotherm, after subtracting CIN and correcting for water loading—is effective in predicting hail occurrence in maritime tropical (mT) environments, we examined the microphysics to understand why, particularly for ordinary pulse storms ...
