Optimal Public Sector Premium, Talent Misallocation, and Aggregate Productivity: Evidence From Egypt

ABSTRACT We develop a tractable general equilibrium model to quantify the long‐run aggregate productivity gains from adjusting the public‐sector premium and the size of the public sector to their productivity‐maximizing levels. The model incorporates an endogenous choice between...

Local supplier rescue and relayable liquidity

This article develops a model of sequential supplier rescue in rooted supply trees. An active customer can meet a direct supplier’s fixed activation requirement, but relationship-specific support cannot finance more remote suppliers. Activation instead releases the supplier’s own...

Robustness of Regionally Derived, Short-Duration Rainfall Depth-Duration-Frequency Estimates to the Choice of Minimum Interevent Time: Evidence across Climates, Rain Gauge Densities, and Regionalization Approaches

Abstract The choice of minimum interevent time (MIT)—a criterion used to discern independent events from a continuous rainfall record—can affect the resulting partial duration series (PDS) and depth-duration-frequency values (DDFs). However, the mechanisms by which MIT choice aff...

A framework to compare the performance of spatial disaggregation methods of statistical climate downscaling in South America

Study region Chile and South America. Study focus Climate change is simulated at a coarse scale with General Circulation Models. Impact and regional studies require downscaling to increase spatial resolution. Several downscaling methods exist, but most studies do not analyze or c...

Latin American Studies and Irish Studies: reflections on the representation of Latin America in the writing of James Joyce

Why should those of us working in Irish Studies care about the research, conclusions, and insights emerging from the field of Latin American Studies? Through a reading of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake in dialogue with previous scholarship on Dubliners and Ulysses, this article arg...
