We track 38,916 production facilities—including plantations, livestock farms, and factories—in war-torn Colombian regions; we also collect the data of 5,138 attacks performed by the two rebel groups involved in Colombia’s civil war. To obtain exogenous variation in the conflict intensity, we use a difference-in-differences model that hinges on the peace process between the government and one of the guerrilla groups. We find that when the conflict intensity increases by one order of magnitude, inventory decreases by up to 10.38%. Firms, however, barely reduce finished inventory during war; they mainly reduce raw and work-in-process inventory. To offset this inventory reduction, firms increase their cash holdings—that is, they shift their working capital from physical inventory to liquid assets. The location of the facility moderates the effect of war: when a facility is close to a distribution center—hence, inventory travels short distances—the firm responds to violence by aggressively reducing inventory; when a facility is far from a distribution center, the firm reacts less aggressively to war.</p> <p> Fri, 13 Nov 2020 17:02:37 +0000 julie.lapalme@affiliate.mcgill.ca 76594 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/professor-kim-awarded-sshrc-insight-grant-342784 <p>Congratulations to <a href="/desautels/anna-kim">Anna Kim</a>, Associate Professor in Strategy & Organization, and Sustainability, who was awarded a 2022 SSHRC Insight Grant</p> <p><strong>“Resilience and Impact of Social Enterprises”</strong></p> Thu, 13 Oct 2022 18:42:54 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 87768 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/2020-sshrc-insight-grants-awarded-329114 <h4>Congratulations to the Desautels professors who received 2020 SSHRC Insight Grants and Insight Development Grants.</h4> <hr /> <h5>SSHRC Insight Grants</h5> <ul> <li>Professor <a href="/desautels/laurent-barras">Laurent Barras</a> (with Professor <a href="/desautels/david-schumacher">David Schumacher</a>)</li> <li>Professor <a href="/desautels/sebastien-betermier">Sebastien Betermier</a></li> <li>Professor <a href="/desautels/lisa-cohen">Lisa Cohen</a></li></ul> Tue, 23 Feb 2021 23:02:04 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 79909 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/professor-perez-aleman-awarded-2020-2021-sshrc-partnership-engage-grant-332084 <p><big><a href="/desautels/paola-perez-aleman"><strong>Paola Perez-Aleman</strong></a>, Associate Professor of Strategy & Organization, awarded 2020-2021 SSHRC Partnership Engage Grant</big></p> Thu, 22 Jul 2021 21:34:13 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 80981 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/professors-etzion-animesh-and-luederitz-awarded-sshrc-partnership-development-grant-332085 <p><big><strong><a href="/desautels/dror-etzion">Dror Etzion</a></strong>, <strong><a href="/desautels/animesh-animesh">Animesh Animesh</a></strong> and <strong>Christopher Luederitz</strong> awarded SSHRC Partnership Development Grant</big></p> Thu, 22 Jul 2021 21:37:43 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 80982 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/professor-hewlin-and-colleagues-awarded-over-2m-sshrc-funding-322584 <p>Congratulations to Professor <strong><a href="/desautels/patricia-faison-hewlin">Patricia Faison Hewlin</a> </strong>and her colleagues across 25 academic institutions who have been awarded a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Partnership Grant for the establishment of the "Inclusive Innovation and Entrepreneurship Network (IIE-Net)".</p> Thu, 04 Jun 2020 13:34:20 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 75996 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/implications-research-carbon-labels-340710 <p><strong>Author:</strong> <a href="/desautels/dror-etzion">Dror Etzion</a></p> <p><strong>Publication:</strong> <a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-022-01442-1"><i>Nature Climate Change, </i>Correspondence article, Published online 04 August, 2022</a></p> <p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Thu, 11 Aug 2022 19:46:10 +0000 sabatino.dellicompagni@mcgill.ca 87512 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/desautels-professors-awarded-ivado-research-funding-323073 <p>Four Desautels professors have been awarded research grants by the Institute for Data Valorization (IVADO), a Montreal-based scientific and economic data science hub.

Yet often there simply isn’t enough infrastructure to go around, creating a major barrier to success. In 2016, the vehicle sharing company Car2Go sold off its fleet of EVs in San Diego largely because the city<span>’s charging infrastructure couldn<span>’t keep pace with demand. Or so it seemed. With too many vehicles being dropped off at a few charging points in high-use areas, delays grew. </span></span></p> Wed, 16 Jun 2021 20:37:43 +0000 julie.lapalme@affiliate.mcgill.ca 80915 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/scouting-and-schmoozing-gender-difference-networking-during-job-search-328391 <p><strong>Authors:</strong> <strong><a href="/desautels/elena-obukhova">Elena Obukhova</a></strong> and A.M.
