Rerouted, Not Resolved: A Theoretical and Distributional Analysis of the Israel–Iran War's Transmission into India's Fuel Crisis

This paper proposes the Integrated Distributionally Conscious Energy Security Framework (IDCESF) to analyze how the Israel–Iran war's disruption of the Strait of Hormuz exposes India's energy vulnerabilities, arguing that while price shocks are partially absorbed by public finances, the resulting burden disproportionately impacts low-income households, necessitating a policy approach that explicitly links geopolitical risk to distributional equity.

Generative AI and the Reconfiguration of Skill Demand in Chinese Job Postings

Using Chinese job postings from 2018 to 2025, this study finds that while generative AI has not uniformly increased routine task demand or educational requirements, it is reshaping labor markets by altering task allocations, increasing within-job task complexity, and raising experience demands, thereby signaling a shift toward incentives for adaptable and complementary skills.

Nowcasting Meso-Level Industrial Production Using Multi-Source Satellite Data and Hybrid DFM–Machine Learning Framework

This study demonstrates that a hybrid framework combining dynamic factor models with machine learning techniques can effectively nowcast Japan's meso-level industrial production using multi-source satellite data, though optimal performance requires target-specific customization of signals, factor structures, and prediction algorithms.

Does university ownership reduce academic invention? Evidence from the abolition of the professor’s privilege in Türkiye

This paper analyzes the impact of Türkiye's 2017 reform transferring academic invention ownership from professors to universities, finding that while total academic patenting remained stable, the shift caused a sharp but temporary 76% drop in filings owned by academics and an 18% overall decline in applications, suggesting that the negative effects of such ownership transfers depend heavily on the readiness of technology transfer offices and the specific channels they replace.

The innovation benefits and limits of institutionalized science-industry collaboration: Evidence from China’s academician workstations

Using a staggered difference-in-differences approach on China's Academician Workstations, this study finds that while institutionalized science-industry collaboration initially boosts inventive output and collaboration, these innovation benefits diminish as the program expands and local density increases, suggesting that such organizational forms scale more easily than the underlying conditions required to sustain their effectiveness.

From Data-Driven Personalization to Culturally Adaptive Merchandising: A Systematic Review and the CAMI-DM Framework

This paper addresses the gap in culturally sensitive personalization by conducting a systematic review of existing literature and proposing the CAMI-DM framework, an integrative architecture that combines behavioral data with cultural context and spatial optimization to enable adaptive, culturally aware merchandising across physical, digital, and phygital retail environments.

Inequality at a Location: A Local Inequality Index Based on Mean Log Deviation

This paper introduces the Local Inequality Index (LII), a novel measure based on mean log deviation that satisfies both Locality and Spatiality properties by weighting income deviations with a distance-decay kernel, thereby revealing localized inequality patterns in Chinese cities that conventional global measures fail to detect.

The Rising Burden of Perceived Financial Strain Across the Working-Age Decades

Using extensive European Social Survey data, this study reveals that the negative impact of perceived financial strain on well-being intensifies with age, being least severe for adults in their twenties who view hardship as temporary, and most severe for those in their sixties.
