Industrial Park Land-Use Composition and Occupancy Performance: Explaining Nonlinear Determinants of Industrial Land Absorption in South Korea

This study utilizes interpretable machine learning on 1,161 South Korean industrial parks to demonstrate that non-linear thresholds in internal land-use composition, particularly the balance between industrial and public facility land, are more decisive for occupancy performance than broad locational factors, thereby advocating for a policy shift from land expansion to targeted functional rebalancing.

Does the level of financial development matter for the fiscal response? A PSTR Approach for EU Countries

This paper employs a Panel Smooth Transition Regression model on EU countries from 2000 to 2019 to demonstrate that the level of financial development significantly shapes fiscal policy, where low development regimes tend to support debt sustainability and pro-cyclical output, while high development regimes often lead to debt unsustainability and counter-cyclical behavior.

The paper reveals that financial markets are pricing in significantly higher oil reserve values than climate mitigation scenarios allow, creating a $46.2 trillion valuation gap by 2034 concentrated in state-owned entities of six nations, which poses a severe risk of sovereign debt crises if oil-dependent economies fail to diversify.

The Cost of Inaction: Quantifying the Economic Burden of Overweight and Obesity in Australia

This study estimates that overweight and obesity impose a substantial AUD $45.0 billion economic burden on Australia in 2025, driven primarily by indirect costs that increase monotonically with BMI class and are distributed unevenly across government, employers, and households, with women experiencing disproportionately higher employment and income losses.

From Cash to Code: FinTech Adoption, Digital Public Infrastructure, and Economic Inclusion Among Tribal Communities in India

While India's Digital Public Infrastructure has driven significant aggregate growth in financial access and digital payments, this paper argues that meaningful economic inclusion for tribal communities remains hindered by structural barriers like connectivity gaps and low digital literacy, necessitating targeted interventions to ensure autonomous and equitable financial participation.

When R&D Taxonomies Travel: Target-Population Validity in the Selection of Young Technology-Oriented SMEs

This study demonstrates that technology-transfer taxonomies constructed on broad industry populations often lack selection validity for young SMEs, showing that recalibrating R&D criteria specifically to the target SME population significantly improves screening accuracy for identifying high-growth firms compared to using standard OECD sector classifications.
