Trade shocks can have various impacts on the economic activities of a country, yet it remains uncertain whether such shocks influence the environmental behaviors of firms. Albert Duodu shows, in a recent investigation, that trade shocks originating from countries with less stringent environmental regulations can spur significant demand for emission-intensive goods from Swedish firms, subsequently

Thousands of people could be spared from a hip fracture each year if a new method to identify the risk of osteoporotic fractures were to be introduced in healthcare. This is the view of the researchers at Lund University in Sweden who are behind a new 3D-simulation method. The results were recently published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research. Osteoporosis causes 120,000 bone fractures in
