Does legal protection of trade secrets reduce the cost of debt? Evidence from the inevitable disclosure doctrine

open access: yesJournal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We examine the effect of the inevitable disclosure doctrine (IDD) on cost of debt. Our difference‐in‐differences analyses reveal that the IDD significantly reduces the loan spread for borrowers in adopting states. To elucidate the mechanisms of such finding, we find that the IDD's effect is weaker in industries with high management turnover ...

Three Dimensions of Care and Their Relationships With Caring, Inclusive, and Toxic Masculinity

open access: yesJournal of Family Theory &Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Are men becoming more caring? Is masculinity evolving to align with the ethics and principles of care? Drawing on literature on care work, the ethics of care, and the four principles of bioethics, we identify three dimensions of care: as work, as ethical frameworks emphasizing empathy and compassion, and as moral principles such as non ...

Competition Enforcement and Accounting for Intangible Capital

open access: yesThe Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Antitrust laws mandate review of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) that exceed an asset size threshold based on accounting standards that exclude most intangible capital. We show that this exclusion leads to thousands of intangible‐intensive M&As being nonreportable. Acquirers in nonreportable deals achieve higher equity values and price markups,

Dynamic Capabilities as Drivers of Circular Business Models: Exploring Direct and Indirect Relationships

open access: yesJournal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Despite the urgent need for a circular economy, firms' transition from linear to circular business models (CBMs) remains slow. While previous research suggests that dynamic capabilities are the key drivers of this transition, it assumes a direct link, overlooking that these capabilities can facilitate change but do not ...

Novel murine closed‐loop auditory stimulation paradigm elicits macrostructural sleep benefits in neurodegeneration

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Boosting slow‐wave activity (SWA) by modulating slow waves through closed‐loop auditory stimulation (CLAS) might provide a powerful non‐pharmacological tool to investigate the link between sleep and neurodegeneration. Here, we established mouse CLAS (mCLAS)‐mediated SWA enhancement and explored its effects on sleep deficits in neurodegeneration,

open access: yesAcademic Journal of Management and Social Sciences
"Trademark use" is the core thread running through trademark law and the cornerstone of the trademark legal system. However, there are still disputes over whether "trademark use" is a prerequisite and independent element for trademark infringement and the criteria for determining "trademark use".

Sleep Deprivation in Mice: Looking Beyond the Slow Wave Rebound

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep is a fundamental process supporting the dynamic regulation of neural function. Emerging methods have proposed that the aperiodic components of brain signals (such as the spectral slope, spectral intercept, and spectral knee), in addition to entropy‐based measures, offer robust empirical markers of neural states.

Effective When Distinctive: The Role of Phonetic Similarity in Nested Dependency Learning Across Preschool Years

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Parallel tracking of distant relations between speech elements, so‐called nonadjacent dependencies (NADs), is crucial in language development but computationally demanding and acquired only in late preschool years. As processing of single NADs is facilitated when dependent elements are perceptually similar, we investigated how phonetic ...
