Additive Manufacturing of Ni‐Based Thermoelectric Materials for Waste Heat Recovery
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Thermoelectric generators convert waste heat into electricity but are constrained by conventional fabrication. Here, laser powder bed fusion enables direct printing of customised n‐type Cu60Ni40 and p‐type Ni90Cr10 legs. The assembled module achieves 0.8% efficiency at ΔT = 419 K, demonstrating scalable additive manufacturing of eco‐friendly, design ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Reconsidering the evidence: are Eurozone business cycles converging? [PDF]
This paper, using 40 years of monthly industrial production data, examines the relationship between the business cycles of the 12 Eurozone countries. Since estimates of the business cycle have been found to be sensitive to how the cycle is measured, a ...

A Bias-reduced Estimator for the Mean of a Heavy-tailed Distribution with an Infinite Second Moment [PDF]
, 2012 We use bias-reduced estimators of high quantiles, of heavy-tailed distributions, to introduce a new estimator of the mean in the case of infinite second moment.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the role of managerial ability in driving environmental performance and overall environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings in the context of the European Union sustainability reporting regulations. Using a sample of 7242 firm‐year observations over the period 2015–2023, our results indicate a structural change in ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Firms are increasingly looking into carbon dioxide removal (CDR), a set of options to take past emissions of greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Often two basic categories of CDR are distinguished: nature‐based solutions, such as planting trees or restoring wetlands, and technology‐based solutions, such as various forms of carbon capture ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines how the European Union Emissions Trading System allowance prices reshape the link between corporate environmental performance (CEP) and firms' growth expectations, measured by Tobin's Q. Using a panel of 1370 listed firms across 15 European countries from 2005 to 2024 and high‐dimensional fixed‐effects models, we first ...
