Aspiring to a better future: Can a simple psychological intervention reduce poverty?
(Oxford University Press, 2025)Do higher aspirations for the future motivate people living in poverty to make long-term investments? Do their aspirations increase when economic conditions improve? To answer these questions, we run a 415-village field ... -
Temperature sensitivity, mispricing, and predictable returns
(Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 2025)We examine the relation between temperature changes and firm performance using a novel time-varying measure of firm-level temperature sensitivity. We find that firms with higher temperature sensitivity have lower future ... -
Designer gapped and tilted Dirac cones in lateral graphene superlattices
(AIP Publishing, 14 April 2025)We show that a planar array of bipolar waveguides in graphene can be used to engineer gapped and tilted two-dimensional Dirac cones within the electronic band structure. The presence of these gapped and tilted Dirac cones ... -
