Two Paths: Why States Join or Avoid China’s Belt and Road Initiative by Atkins, Eleanor, Fravel, M Taylor, Wang, Raymond, Ackert, Nick, Huang, Sihao

“…Thus, we argue that most states should join the BRI unless they view the costs of participation as higher. We hypothesize, and find support for, the argument that democracies are less likely to join because they view participating in a Chinese-led initiative as more costly than non-democracies. …”

Can Plants Perceive Human Gestures? Using AI to Track Eurythmic Human–Plant Interaction by Gil, Alvaro Francisco, Weinbeer, Moritz, Gloor, Peter A.

“…Using machine learning, we found that the voltage differentials over time of the plant predict if (a) eurythmy has been performed, and (b) which kind of eurythmy gestures has been performed. We also find that the signals are different based on the species of the plant. …”

To What Extent Do Alternative Energy Sources Displace Coal and Oil in Electricity Generation? A Mean-Group Panel Analysis by Liddle, Brantley

“…As such, our approach avoids/addresses several statistical issues common in long-macro panel analyses—heterogeneity, nonstationarity, and cross-sectional dependence—that have largely been ignored/unaddressed in previous displacement studies. Ultimately, we find that the displacement effect is small and only marginally significant for nuclear, and is significant though less than unity for natural gas and hydro, whereas intermittent renewables (solar and wind) have unitary displacement effect. …”

Machine learning-guided discovery of gas evolving electrode bubble inactivation by Lake, Jack R, Rufer, Simon, James, Jim, Pruyne, Nathan, Scourtas, Aristana, Schwarting, Marcus, Ambadkar, Aadit, Foster, Ian, Blaiszik, Ben, Varanasi, Kripa K

“…We study electrode inactivation caused by oxygen evolution while using surface engineering to control bubble formation. We find that the inactivation of the entire projected area, as is currently believed, is a poor approximation which leads to non-physical results. …”

Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coasts by Palermo, Rose V, Ashton, Andrew D, Soderblom, Jason M, Birch, Samuel PD, Hayes, Alexander G, Perron, J Taylor

“…Applying this framework to Titan, we find that the shorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded by waves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates at fetch lengths of tens of kilometers.…”

Effects of provision on non-audit services on audit lag : test of the knowledge spillover hypothesis. by Low, Jeremy Peng Mun., Lew, Zining., Tse, Man Yee.

“…Our sample comprises 5,495 companies listed on the major stock exchanges in the United States spanning 2000 to 2003 and is the largest sample study on knowledge spillover or audit lag. We find that the provision of nonaudit services is significant and negatively associated with audit lag. …”

Minority shareholders' control rights and the quality of corporate decisions in weak investor protection countries : a natural experiment from China by Chen, Zhihong, Ke, Bin, Yang, Zhifeng

“…Using a 2004 Chinese securities regulation that requires equity offering proposals to obtain the separate approval of voting minority shareholders, we examine whether giving minority shareholders increased control over corporate decisions helps reduce value-decreasing corporate decisions for firms domiciled in weak investor protection countries. We find that the regulation deters management from submitting value-decreasing equity offering proposals in firms with higher mutual fund ownership. …”
