In empirical macroeconomics, proxy structural vector autoregressive models (SVARs) have become a prominent path towards detecting monetary policy (MP) shocks. However, in practice, the merits of proxy SVARs depend on the relevance and exogeneity of the instrumental information employed. Our...

The Weapon-Target Assignment (WTA) problem seeks to compute an optimal assignment of m weapons to n targets such that the expected total survival possibility of the targets is minimized (or equivalently, the expected total damage of the targets is maximized). The WTA problem is known to be...

We analyze data about cigarette tax compliance from the first national scale littered cigarette packs collection. We code each pack based on whether an appropriate tax had been paid at the location where it was found. Noncompliance across our 132 sample communities ranges from zero to one...

Clinoptilolite zeolite (Z) has been widely used for reducing nutrient loss and improving crop productivity. However, the impacts of zeolite on CH4 and N2O emissions in rice fields under various irrigation regimes are still unclear. Therefore, a three-year field experiment using a split-plot...

With "carbon peaking and neutrality" and high-quality development strategy, agricultural is facing the multi-objective demand of "guaranteeing food security, promoting eco-friendly and improving farmers' income" in China. Consequently, a sustainable farmland (SF) system is proposed, integrating...
