Water Scarcity and the Future of Rural Communities in West Texas: Economic Correlates of Ogallala Aquifer Depletion

This study finds that while Ogallala Aquifer depletion is significantly reducing irrigated cotton acreage in specific West Texas counties, its broader economic impacts on county-level employment, wages, and income remain statistically indistinguishable from zero, likely due to sectoral adjustments and economic diversification masking the underlying agricultural stress.

Patent Eligibility Guidance and Rejection Composition in Corporate Patenting

This study utilizes a local difference-in-discontinuities design to demonstrate that while the USPTO's January 2019 guidance significantly reduced eligibility-based rejections and claim counts in corporate patent applications, it did not substantially alter overall grant rates or abandonment outcomes, suggesting the policy primarily shifted the composition of examination objections rather than the ultimate acquisition of patents.

Equilibrium Transmission and Dynamics in Price Networks

This paper proposes a network model demonstrating that equilibrium price transmission and dynamic adjustment are jointly constrained by a shared structural characteristic, revealing that aggregate prices may mask underlying cross-sectional disagreement which can only be detected through a combined analysis of cross-sectional dispersion and time-series dynamics.

Do data artefacts manufacture climate and ESG risk signals in energy markets? Evidence from contract rolls in JKM LNG futures

This paper demonstrates that data artefacts arising from contract rolls in JKM LNG futures create artificial, calendar-driven price jumps that significantly distort risk signals, volatility estimates, and market linkage analyses, necessitating a specific diagnostic correction to ensure accurate energy market modeling.

Does Consumption Drive Growth or Does Growth Drive Consumption? Multivariate Time-Series Evidence from Bangladesh (1961–2024)

Using 63 years of multivariate time-series data from Bangladesh (1961–2024), this study confirms a unidirectional causal relationship where economic growth drives household consumption, while rejecting the consumption-led growth hypothesis and identifying GDP growth, remittances, and trade openness as key short-run determinants.
