This paper introduces a backtestable Longevity-at-Risk (LaR) framework that quantifies adverse mortality improvement tail risks to enhance liability-linked stress testing, pricing, and risk management for annuity, pension, and reinsurance markets.
Based on survey data from 808 respondents in Queensland, Australia, this study utilizes a multivariate Generalised Poisson model to demonstrate that rising petrol prices significantly reduce participation in weekly activities—particularly social and shopping events—while exacerbating transport disadvantage, thereby necessitating policy interventions that ensure affordable and reliable transport alternatives.
This cross-national study of 165 countries demonstrates that higher state administrative capacity, particularly control of corruption, and lower subnational development inequality are significant predictors of more complete civil birth registration.
Drawing on data from 406 Chinese construction companies, this study demonstrates that stakeholder collaboration drives green innovation through the mediating role of corporate social responsibility, a relationship further strengthened by stakeholder pressure.
This paper introduces RT-SIM, a simulation framework demonstrating that frontier large language models can effectively reconstruct trades from trader communications for financial reconciliation, provided the dialogue is explicit or merely noisy, though performance significantly declines under ambiguous or semantically degraded conditions.
This study analyzes the moderate awareness and implementation of Lean Construction in India's large-scale construction industry, revealing that while knowledge correlates with usage, adoption is primarily hindered by organizational culture and leadership rather than technical constraints, making mandatory policies the most effective driver for improvement.
This study demonstrates that both R&D expense deductions and income tax incentives significantly reduce industrial carbon intensity through the mediating role of green technology innovation, with R&D deductions playing a dominant and complementary role that exhibits threshold effects dependent on the level of income tax incentives.
This paper argues that governments systematically prefer suppressive policy instruments over marginally adjusting alternatives not because they are more efficient, but because they reduce the visibility of adjustment costs, preserve administrative discretion, and stabilize political coalitions, thereby creating institutional drag that leads to persistent resource misallocation and slower long-run economic adaptation.
This study utilizes a difference-in-differences framework on Japanese panel data to demonstrate that the 2016 Act on Promotion of Women's Participation and Advancement in the Workplace, while designed to support female advancement, has inadvertently reduced job satisfaction, health, and increased stress among non-managerial male employees in covered firms.
This paper finds that while higher state capacity is associated with lower private credit spreads, this relationship is primarily mediated by increased financial depth and income rather than acting as a direct, independent price signal.
