Do Zambian farmers manage climate risks?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates production responses to climate risk among farmers in Zambia by combining historical rainfall with nationally representative household data. After identifying the importance of January and February rainfall in maize production, we define these months' historical rainfall variations as the climate risk index.

Stringency and dissimilarity of Maximum Residue Levels affect bilateral agri‐food trade stability

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Food standards are rising in both prevalence and stringency. They protect consumers and may enhance demand stability but also pose compliance challenges to producers, with ambiguous effects on the stability of trade relationships. We analyze the impact of importers' Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) along with bilateral MRL dissimilarity between ...

The effects of extreme weather on rural transportation infrastructure and crop prices along the Lower Mississippi River

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Extreme weather events are worsening the fragile rural infrastructure in the United States, impacting trade flows of agricultural products. The Mississippi River, vital for transporting agricultural commodities, reached historic lows during the 2022 and 2023 fall harvests, increasing transportation costs and lowering crop prices.

From Graphene Oxide to N‐Doped Graphene: Understanding the Doping Process

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Nitrogen‐doped graphene has gained attention as an alternative electrocatalyst, making attractive the development of scalable synthesis methods. However, a current bottleneck is to optimize the appropriate nitrogen species present. Here, the N‐doping mechanism is explored in detail starting from graphene oxide as the precursor, to contribute toward the

On the Relevance of Static Cells for Fast Scale‐Up of New Redox Flow Battery Chemistries

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
The static cell is a powerful tool in the search for the ultimate organic molecules bridging the gap between fundamental electrochemical characterization and full redox flow battery. The absence of flowing conditions simplifies the system facilitating a low‐cost and low‐effort investigation of degradation mechanisms.
