Using cross-sectionally augmented panel data for 42 African countries from 1980 to 2022, this study reveals that while health infrastructure and economic development boost longevity, the westernization of diets toward ultra-processed foods significantly undermines life expectancy, highlighting a critical trade-off between food security and public health.
This study proposes a hybrid ensemble machine learning framework that integrates financial ratios and market dynamics to significantly improve the accuracy and stability of early corporate bankruptcy predictions for firms listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, offering a robust alternative to traditional statistical models.
Utilizing 2024 American Community Survey data, this study reveals that the U.S. public-sector workforce is significantly older and more credentialed than its private-sector counterpart, facing a critical succession crisis with a thinner early-career pipeline and concentrated risks in management that necessitate shifting monitoring focus from headcount to composition and succession exposure.
This study demonstrates that in Central and Eastern European countries, higher out-of-pocket payment shares significantly widen income-related inequalities in unmet medical needs, primarily by disproportionately preventing low-income individuals from accessing care due to cost.
This study integrates a Main Path Analysis of 3,359 academic papers on supply chain decarbonization with a case study of Acer Inc.'s sustainability initiatives to explore the intersection of environmental goals, green inflation, and actionable corporate strategies for balancing economic viability with net-zero commitments.
This paper proposes a network-aware, falsifiable model linking four technology-transfer arrangements to adoption and multi-dimensional value creation in university ecosystems, demonstrating its computational estimability and measurement requirements through synthetic data and an illustrative audit, while noting that empirical validation remains pending due to data limitations.
This paper evaluates China's job-related invention scheme, which granted ownership rights to scientists, and finds that while it increased individual firm-side patenting, it failed to accelerate university-industry technology transfer, suggesting that ownership reforms are ineffective without a supporting institutional infrastructure.
This paper utilizes plausibly exogenous variation in Washington's recreational cannabis market to demonstrate that new retail entry significantly reduces incumbent variable profits primarily by decreasing sales quantities rather than prices, with the most pronounced effects occurring in jurisdictions where regulatory caps had previously constrained competition.
This paper argues that creditors, rather than shareholders, are the structurally positioned guardians against workforce collapse due to their concave risk exposure, and proposes replacing reactive financial covenants with proactive "well-being covenants" that trigger remediation based on operational indicators to prevent the austerity measures that currently exacerbate the very risks threatening debt repayment.
Using a difference-in-differences approach on Korean manufacturing data, this study finds that the 2022 Serious Accident Punishment Act, which imposes criminal liability on officers of firms with 50+ employees, caused a transitory dip in radical innovation among covered firms during the enactment window without evidence of a permanent level shift or subsequent recovery beyond their pre-existing trend.
