This paper demonstrates that the lack of standardized fairness metrics in AI ethics allows for arbitrary and contradictory audit outcomes, arguing that implementing disclosure requirements similar to financial alternative performance measures—rather than mandating a single correct metric—can significantly reduce this discretion and improve transparency.
This paper empirically demonstrates that while international sanctions generally erode domestic state capacity by creating economic uncertainty and institutional instability across a global sample from 1950 to 2022, they may paradoxically enhance capacity in developed and high-income nations, thereby calling for more targeted sanction policies and support mechanisms to mitigate institutional damage.
This paper analyzes the 2016 Ecuador earthquake to demonstrate that severe ground shaking caused a sharp, temporary surge in property crime arrests—driven by offenders shifting criminal activity to the present due to lowered enforcement costs—while violent crime remained stable and alternative socioeconomic factors were ruled out as primary causes.
This paper analyzes commercial mortgage-backed securities data from 2010 to 2023 to demonstrate that commercial property insurance costs have risen sharply since 2018, driven significantly by climate risk factors such as expected natural-hazard losses and realized disaster impacts, particularly in regions with concentrated insurer exposure and lenient rate regulations.
Using a combination of simulated microdata analysis and official aggregate statistics, this paper concludes that while AI has not caused aggregate job destruction in India, it is driving a significant skill and formality divide by increasing wages for graduates while penalizing non-graduates with lower pay and higher informal employment.
This study introduces a Multi-Dimensional Urban Energy Stress Index (MD-UESI) to analyze Bangladesh's electricity system from 2005 to 2024, revealing a shift from chronic high stress to stabilization driven by generation expansion, followed by renewed pressure from infrastructure limitations and external shocks.
This paper investigates whether established socio-economic and demographic determinants of pro-immigration attitudes, such as labor supply, earnings, gender, education, and religiosity, apply to the Arab countries and Turkey in the context of rising anti-refugee sentiment following the significant influx of migrants and refugees since 2020.
A quantitative study of 310 employees in four manufacturing companies in Gondar City, Ethiopia, reveals that Strategic Human Resource Management significantly enhances organizational performance, with a particular emphasis on employee development as the strongest predictor among the dimensions of performance management, strategic integration, and long-term goal focus.
This study utilizes Structural Equation Modeling on manufacturing firms to demonstrate that while specific corporate governance mechanisms lack direct impact on firm value in the disruptive economy, their effectiveness is significantly mediated by social investment effectiveness and corporate reputation, which ultimately drive market valuation.
This study utilizes Data Envelopment Analysis and a pooled Tobit regression with district-level interaction effects on 383 small tea growers across six Assam districts to demonstrate that while factors like education, credit access, and training generally enhance economic efficiency, their impact varies significantly by region, necessitating location-specific policy interventions rather than uniform strategies.
