International Public Sector Accounting Standards Adoption and Financial Reporting Quality in Fragile States: Evidence from Somalia’s Public Sector

This study utilizes survey data from Somalia's public sector to demonstrate that while political support and resource availability significantly enhance financial reporting quality, institutional capacity may initially cause disruption and technical training shows no direct impact, all within a framework of "profound decoupling" that explains the gap between formal IPSAS compliance and operational reality in fragile states.

The Endogenous Reserve Frontier: Cut-off Grade, Capacity, and Sequencing in Resource-to-Reserve Conversion

This paper introduces a tractable mine-level reserve frontier that demonstrates how optimal cut-off grade and capacity decisions are jointly determined by the interplay of sequencing constraints, discounting, and blending, thereby revealing that mineral reserves are endogenous economic stocks rather than fixed geological inputs.

Coordination or Synchronization? Social Interaction, Participation Thresholds, and Liquidity in a Heterogeneous-Agent Asset Market

This paper demonstrates that in a heterogeneous-agent asset market, increasing social interaction intensity triggers a nonlinear transition from dispersed coordination to synchronized instability, where the resulting surge in volatility and mispricing overwhelms market-making capacity regardless of market depth.

This paper utilizes England's 2022 Full Dispersal mandate to demonstrate that while voluntary refugee placement correlates with higher STI detection due to pre-existing selection biases, the mandatory dispersal of asylum seekers does not lead to a statistically significant increase in sexually transmitted infection transmission within host communities.
