Firm turnover under asymmetric information: Tanzania's agro‐dealer sector

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We study firm turnover (i.e., entry and exit) and its consumer implications in a market characterized by asymmetric information. Using a three‐round census of agro‐dealers in Tanzania's Morogoro Region, we document annual firm entry and exit rates of 33% and 17%, respectively.

Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Negotiating contested spaces and places: Narratives of social suffering and resistance in racialized Cape Town communities

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study employs a schizocartographic approach to explore community narratives of space, memory, and violence in Kraaifontein, Cape Town. Through participants' accounts, ordinary places—gardens, shops, blocks, sports grounds, and streets—emerge as ambivalent geographies where trauma, resilience, and belonging intersect.

An X‑Shaped Chiral Non‑Fullerene n‐Type Semiconductor: Application in Perovskite Solar Cells and Chirality‑Induced Spin Selectivity

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A highly electron‑accepting derivative of cyclobisbiphenylenecarbonyl (CBBC‐TIC) is reported. CBBC‐TIC functions as an electron‐transport layer for perovskite solar cells, achieving a power conversion efficiency of 20.6%. Furthermore, the enantiomers of CBBC‐TIC exhibited spin‐selective electron transport with high enantiospecific magnetic conductance ...
