Asymmetric Effects of Non‐Tariff Measures: Evidence From Argentina's Automotive Value Chain
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effects of Argentina's non‐automatic import licenses (NAILs), introduced in late 2011 to reduce the automotive trade deficit by increasing local content. Using rich product‐ and firm‐level data, we assess whether these measures curtailed imports o...

Smart Bins in an Intermediate Mexican City: Citizen Perceptions and Implementation Conditions
Municipal solid waste management remains a major challenge in intermediate cities because limited source separation, infrastructure constraints, and uneven citizen participation reduce system performance. Smart bins can support waste separation and operational monitoring. However...

Sex-specific control of locomotor behavior by neuronal Arhgef10 in aged Drosophila
Mutations and polymorphisms in the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 10 (ARHGEF10) locus are associated with behavioral and locomotor dysfunctions in humans, including psychiatric disorders and polyneuropathies that show age- and sex-specific prevalence. ARHGEF10 encodes a c...
