By harmonizing four Jordanian household surveys (2022–2025) using a consensual indicator framework, this study reveals that while absolute energy poverty rates vary due to methodological differences, structural deprivation gradients across income and rural–urban divides remain stable, supporting targeted income-based interventions over universal subsidies.
Using a novel partial proportional-odds model on 2023 Jordanian household data, this study reveals that the transition from traditional to transitional heating fuels is primarily driven by wealth and geography, while the shift to modern fuels depends more on infrastructure and supply availability, thereby challenging the assumption of a uniform energy ladder and highlighting the need for geographically targeted policies and infrastructure investment.
This study utilizes a discrete choice experiment in Pakistan to demonstrate that enhancing flood insurance uptake for climate adaptation requires affordable premiums, faster claim settlements, and initiatives to build institutional trust, as evidenced by respondents' strong preference for higher coverage and shorter payout durations.
This study integrates econometrics, unsupervised clustering, and supervised machine learning to analyze European regional innovation data, revealing that while innovation drivers follow systematic positive relationships, regional performance exhibits significant heterogeneity and nonlinear predictability best captured by K-Means clustering and K-Nearest Neighbors regression.
This paper systematizes disparate distributed energy resource (DER) cost and performance data by screening 33 datasets, harmonizing them to a common total overnight cost model, and synthesizing representative systems across various capacities to serve as consistent inputs for techno-economic and lifecycle analyses.
This paper utilizes a quasi-experimental design based on China's medical-elderly care integration pilot to demonstrate that improved access to formal care for older adults triggers a "reverse-substitution" effect, where time previously spent receiving care is reallocated to increase grandchild care provision.
This qualitative study argues that the aggressive, volume-driven pricing strategies of quick-commerce platforms are financially and environmentally unsustainable due to their incompatibility with efficient batching, proposing differentiated pricing to shape demand as a critical solution for a viable last-mile ecosystem.
This study challenges the assumption that legal adoption of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) improves financial reporting quality in Africa, demonstrating through mixed-method analysis that statutory mandates often fail to predict actual performance and that tracking outcome-based indicators like PEFA scores is essential alongside legal milestones.
This study reveals that the impact of Covid-19 uncertainty on housing markets is phase-dependent and varies by asset tier and location, with top-tier homes in select states, mid-tier homes in populous states, and bottom-tier homes in major MSAs demonstrating safe-haven characteristics under specific shock conditions.
This multi-agent simulation study reveals that the impact of increasing investment freedom on wealth inequality is conditional on household consumption behavior, reducing inequality only when annual consumption remains below a critical threshold of approximately 7% of wealth.
