Employing instrumental-variable estimation to address endogeneity, we find that board independence and disclosure quality are associated with materially lower credit spreads, with the effect concentrated among firms facing greater information asymmetry."} {"id": "medieval-history", "field": "History / Humanities", "accept": ["1202", "1200", "1208"], "text": "Drawing on previously unexamined chancery records, this article reconstructs patterns of monastic landholding in the late medieval Rhineland. It argues that the conventional narrative of continuous ecclesiastical accumulation obscures a sustained period of alienation driven by fiscal pressure, and situates these transactions within wider debates about the economic agency of religious houses."} {"id": "sociolinguistics", "field": "Linguistics / Arts & Humanities", "accept": ["3310", "1203", "1200", "3316"], "text": "This study investigates code-switching practices among second-generation multilingual speakers in an urban migration context.
