Using a non-linear ARDL model on data from 1980–2019, this study reveals that country risk exerts an asymmetric impact on FDI inflows in Mauritius, where negative risk shocks significantly reduce investment more strongly than positive risk changes promote it.
This quantitative study of 477 Latin American university students demonstrates that entrepreneurial discovery significantly mediates the transition from individual profile to exploitation, supporting opportunity creation theory and offering evidence-based guidance for designing effective entrepreneurship curricula.
This study proposes an adaptive employment pooling and competence alignment model to mitigate labor volatility, turnover, and service inconsistency in Egypt's hospitality industry by creating a shared, skilled workforce pool supported by unified standards and sustainable funding.
Drawing on a sample of A-share listed firms from 2008 to 2022, this study demonstrates that digital transformation accelerates enterprise internationalization speed through the parallel mediating mechanisms of exploitative and exploratory innovation, with policy uncertainty acting as a positive moderator that strengthens both the transformation-innovation and innovation-internationalization relationships.
This empirical study of four European consumer testing organizations demonstrates that they produce highly consistent product quality rankings and that their expert scores provide significant value beyond price information, particularly in categories characterized by strong branding and specification complexity.
This paper employs a game-theoretic model to demonstrate that an e-platform can strategically leverage extended warranty services—either by offering them to bolster reselling competitiveness or withholding them to reduce supplier incentives—as an effective countermeasure against supplier encroachment, potentially yielding win-win outcomes for both parties.
This study proposes a Bayesian methodology to combine multiple geographic and semantic proximity networks, demonstrating that integrating these multidimensional inter-firm connections significantly enhances the understanding of knowledge spillovers and their impact on firm performance within Milan's tech ecosystem.
Using Baidu big data to overcome previous spatial limitations, this study reveals that China's county-level daily consumption exhibits significant east–west disparities driven by administrative levels and urbanization, where consumption markets reduce low-level consumption while amenities expand high-level consumption.
Despite widespread usage in Mogadishu, this quantitative study finds that mobile money services alone do not significantly enhance financial inclusion among low-income communities, suggesting that structural and behavioral factors like financial literacy, trust, and income stability are more critical drivers.
Using South Korean panel data, this study reveals that lower-income households face a distinct "heat-or-eat" trade-off in winter by sacrificing food spending to meet heating needs, a seasonally asymmetric and income-stratified pattern that does not occur in summer.
