We motivate our theoretical contribution by presenting some simple empirical analysis of cross-country associations. These provide no evidence of a significant association between abortion legality and birth rates. Our main contribution is an applied economic theory model. Contrary to some policy claims, but in line with stylized empirical facts, abortion bans can <em>lower</em> equilibrium fertility: An abortion ban might cause women to have more unintended births at young ages, but this could reduce their accumulation of capabilities that would prepare them to have a larger family later. We solve a 2-period version of the model, and simulate it and a 3-period version. If women with more resources can afford to choose more children (because of costs of having, raising, and educating children), then the sign of the effect on lifetime fertility depends on whether the increase in fertility due directly to unintended births is outweighed by the effect on subsequent fertility choices. But either way, abortion restrictions are likely to reduce human capital and harm women’s welfare.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"238 ","pages":"Article 107216"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145060553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leveraging the staggered finalisations of State Climate Adaptation Plans (SCAPs) in the United States as a source of exogenous climate regulatory risks, we examine the impact of a male CEO’s facial-width-to-height ratio (<em>fWHR</em>) on corporate carbon emissions post-SCAP finalisation. Drawing from neuroendocrinology literature, <em>fWHR</em> is associated with aggressiveness in pursuing higher social status and self-interest. Our findings show that firms led by high-<em>fWHR</em> CEOs reduce carbon emissions following SCAP finalisation, while those with low-<em>fWHR</em> CEOs exhibit no change. Channel analysis suggests that this emission reduction is driven by a greater tendency to adopt carbon reduction policies. The effect is more pronounced in firms with powerful CEOs, those based in collectivist states, and those facing lower SCAP uncertainty. Despite lowering carbon emissions, high-<em>fWHR</em> CEO-led firms do not achieve better ESG ratings post-SCAP finalisation. This paradox arises from their lower public commitments to emission reduction, suggesting a reduced tendency toward greenwashing.

This method addresses the limitations of previous studies, which have ignored coefficient instability and time-varying relationships between variables. The results reveal that the relationship between OPU and the REA is heterogeneous across different subsamples, with positive and negative relationships. Specifically, the positive impact of OPU on the REA may be attributed to the Russia–Ukraine war and the Israel–Hamas conflict, which increased OPU and enhanced the strategic importance of rare earth elements. However, the rare earth industry has been negatively affected by reduced investment caused by the economic downturn during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rare earth exports typically have a positive effect on OPU, except during periods of China–U.S. tensions. The trade war has underscored the strategic importance of rare earth elements in geopolitical dynamics. These research findings offer valuable insights for formulating China's rare earth export policies amid global oil price fluctuations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"208 ","pages":"Article 114890"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145061239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I use the Baron–Ferejohn game to model bargaining over government formation and resource division in an ethnically fragmented society. Each ethnic group is a unitary actor, voting weights correspond to ethnic group sizes, and recognition probabilities are proportional to voting weights. The voting quota required to pass a decision is a proxy for the level of democracy. When the majority group exceeds half of the population, the expected payoffs of minorities non-monotonically depend on the voting quota. When the voting quota is small, several minorities may form a winning coalition, so minorities get high expected payoffs. This outcome explains the existence of relatively tolerant autocracies. For intermediate values, a coalition of minorities is insufficient to rule while the majority is sufficient. As a result, it gets most of the surplus, which reflects democracies where minorities are underrepresented in the government and get fewer benefits. Finally, when the voting quota is large, minorities are needed to form a winning coalition, so their expected payoffs are high, too. The latter scenario corresponds to democracies with many constraints on the leader, who needs the support of minorities to get approval from various branches of power.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47024,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Economic Theory","volume":"27 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145062813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, traditional origin–destination and time-use surveys often overlook the nuanced and diverse aspects of care-related mobility. They fail to account for the variety of care tasks, socioeconomic conditions, spatial contexts, and relational dynamics that shape different forms of care-related movement. Our article aims to contribute to filling these gaps by analyzing caregivers’ mobility, caregiving tasks, and sociodemographic characteristics. Using a survey in Chile that compares a pre-pandemic scenario with the first reaction to the pandemic, the article uses hierarchical clustering to find caregiving-related profiles and a joint multivariate model to identify observed and unobserved effects impacting the level of stress, ease of movement, and struggle to engage in paid work from home. Our analysis identifies four distinct caregiving mobility profiles, revealing significant disparities. Caregivers with heavier workloads and limited resources experienced the greatest challenges, including restricted mobility, higher stress, and difficulty managing remote work. Our model shows that gender is a critical factor influencing stress, mobility, and work-from-home struggles, even after accounting for socioeconomic and behavioral factors. Individuals less concerned about COVID-19 mobility restrictions reported lower stress levels. Lower stress levels were reported by those less concerned about COVID-19 restrictions, while stress was notably higher among caregivers for individuals with special needs and young children (0–6 years). Connectivity issues further intensified remote work challenges. These findings underscore the need for urban mobility planning and policies that recognize caregiving as a relational activity shaped by spatial and social dynamics, emphasizing the diverse impacts on caregivers.","PeriodicalId":51350,"journal":{"name":"Urban Studies","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145072515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
