Meeting the challenges of chemical and biological weapons: strengthening the chemical and biological disarmament and non-proliferation regimes by Edwards, Brett, Novossiolova, Tatyana, Crowley, Michael, Whitby, Simon, Dando, Malcolm, Shang, Lijun

“…During this century despite the agreement of some positive measures to strengthen these Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Regimes, there is little doubt that both are facing considerable difficulties at present. However, there is a long and diverse tradition of civil society efforts to help strengthen these regimes and there is some hope that, following the dangers from biological agents exposed in the pandemic, States Parties will be able to find ways to improve the protection afforded by the two Conventions. …”

Rural transformation and productivity in China by You, Kefei, Sarantis, Nicholas

“…This paper carries out for the first time an econometric investigation of the contribution of rural transformation to total factor productivity in China. We find that the efficiency gains resulting from rural transformation make a significant and nontrivial contribution to factor productivity in China. …”

Construing economic behaviour by Theodoulou, Stella

“…Economic behaviour does not take place in a vacuum or separate from other aspects of human behaviour. For too long, the expression ceteris paribus has been the catchall of economic modelling, and when pressed for examples of "other things being equal", invariably many of these are psychological factors. …”
