Spatial skill premium along the process of structural transformation by Qin, Jin, Chen, Zhuo, Zhao, Yunyi

“…We develop a tractable general equilibrium framework to quantitatively measure and predict the magnitude of these impacts over the period 2005 to 2024. We find that the simultaneous increase in both skilled worker demand and supply lead to a 38% increase in the skill premium, but 19% decrease in the social welfare.…”

Combing carbon fibre arrays by Howell, P, Ockendon, H, Ockendon, JR, Roberts, J

“…The model reveals how the ultimate alignment of the fibres depends on key control parameters, including the gap between the cylinders and their relative velocities. We also find a small region of parameter space where solutions may exhibit singularities.…”

Automation and the displacement of labor by capital: asset pricing theory and empirical evidence by Knesl, J

“…In the model, firms optimally adopt technology to gain competitive advantage but in equilibrium competition erodes profits and decreases firm value. Empirically, I find that firms with high share of displaceable labor have negative exposure to technology shocks. …”

A counterexample to the coarse Menger conjecture by Nguyen, T, Scott, A, Seymour, P

The role of supply chains for the sustainability transformation of global food systems: a large‐scale, systematic review of food cold chains by Trotter, PA, Becker, T, Renaldi, R, Wang, X, Khosla, R, Walther, G

“…We find a multitude of deep links between food cooling and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but also identify underexplored areas of sustainable food cooling research regarding its (1) goals, (2) analytical depth, and (3) context specificity: There is a limited understanding how several relevant synergies between SDGs can be captured, how to best design sustainable food cold chains across multiple value chain stages, and how to scale sustainable cold chains in low-income and lower-middle-income country contexts. …”
