The Direct and Indirect Effects of the Belt and Road Initiative on Exports to China
ABSTRACT This study investigates the direct effect of a country's participation in China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) on that country's exports to China, as well as the indirect effect of such participation on other countries' exports to China. Using panel data covering 187 countries from 2006 to 2023, we employ an event study approach, a staggered

Despite having similar climatic niches, woody plant species can exhibit contrasting responses to climate change. Using MaxEnt and spatial prioritization, we evaluated Isoberlinia doka and I. tomentosa under future climate scenarios (2041–2060). Despite high niche overlap (D = 0.635; I = 0.788), I. doka experienced severe habitat contraction, whereas I.
