Order Allocation and Emergency Transportation Decisions Amid Multi-Source Procurement Disruptions

This study proposes a two-stage stochastic mixed-integer programming model that integrates supplier selection, capacity reservation, and multi-mode transportation decisions to demonstrate that a risk-constrained strategy significantly outperforms lowest-bid and weighted-score approaches by reducing total costs, minimizing order delays, and accelerating recovery from supply chain disruptions.

Are Pensions and Disability Benefits concordant with Means and Health? A Tobit Approach to SHARE data from 50-to-89-year-olds covering 12 European Countries from 2015 to 2022

Using Tobit models on SHARE data from 12 European countries (2015–2022), this study finds that while old-age and disability pensions exhibit a gender gap and respond inversely to self-reported health, public payment schemes generally ensure a fair, means-tested allocation of resources to support beneficiaries' living standards.

Financial Distress and Homeownership: Evidence from SHARE Data covering 50- to 90-year-old Citizens of the Nordic and Baltic States from 2020 to 2022

Using SHARE data from 2020 to 2022, this study analyzes Nordic and Baltic citizens aged 50–90 to find that while exiting homeownership alone does not alleviate financial distress, it can improve financial well-being when combined with better food budgets and income, whereas debt relief and job changes tend to hinder such improvements.

Rehabilitative Econometrics of Indian Correctional Homes: A Legal-Economic and Time-Series Evaluation of Spiritual Interventions, Recidivism, and Prison Overcrowding

This study employs a comprehensive time-series econometric analysis of Indian data from 2001 to 2022 to explore the complex, non-causal relationship between rising crime and prison populations, declining recidivism, and increasing spiritual rehabilitation interventions, ultimately advocating for a robust national data architecture to better evaluate and support evidence-based correctional reforms.

From Prediction to Causation: Heterogeneous Policy Effects of Rent Stabilization and Rental Assistance on Severe Housing Cost Burden in New York City

This paper employs an AI-driven causal inference framework combining machine learning with quasi-experimental designs to demonstrate that New York City's housing policies, particularly the 2019 rent stabilization expansion, effectively reduce severe housing cost burden but exhibit significant heterogeneous effects across different neighborhood contexts, thereby enabling more precise, targeted policy interventions.
