City size, borrowed size and institutional educational supply: Evidence from the Fergana economic region, Uzbekistan

This study analyzes educational institutional supply across five cities in Uzbekistan's Fergana region, revealing that while composite indices mask significant imbalances, a decomposed analysis shows a weak relationship between city size and provision, a U-shaped disparity pattern across educational levels, and the utility of borrowed size and agglomeration shadow frameworks for understanding service distribution in data-scarce Central Asian contexts.

The Unified Field of Spreads: The China-U.S. Yield Spread as a Regime Variable in Global Asset Pricing—On the Hierarchical Structure of Institutional Interfaces and Supplements to Interest Rate Parity, the Triffin Dilemma, and Related Theories

This paper proposes the "Unified Field of Spreads" hypothesis, demonstrating that the China-U.S. yield spread functions as a critical regime variable that determines the pricing dynamics of global core assets like gold and crude oil, thereby shifting the pricing anchor from U.S. to Chinese interest rates and necessitating a revision of classical theories such as Interest Rate Parity and the Triffin Dilemma.

Medical Loss Ratio and Accounting-Based Financial Fragility among Brazilian Health Plan Operators: A Predictive Panel Study

This predictive panel study demonstrates that a high Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) serves as a significant, threshold-based early-warning indicator for future financial fragility, market exit, and forced regulatory exit among Brazilian health plan operators, particularly when MLR exceeds 0.835, though it functions best as a partial marker rather than a standalone screening tool.

Scenario-Based Markov Modeling: An Exploratory Analysis of AI's Potential Impact on Customer Retention – The Netflix Case

This exploratory study utilizes a Markov chain simulation and theoretical frameworks to demonstrate that, under specific assumptions, AI-driven personalization mechanisms could hypothetically more than double customer retention for Netflix compared to a low-AI baseline, while highlighting the need to view AI as a dynamic capability and addressing associated ethical concerns.

Global GHG Emission Dynamics, Regional Convergence, and Cross-Border Emission Spillovers: Evidence from a Hierarchical Dynamic Factor Model

Using a hierarchical Dynamic Factor Model on global EDGAR data from 1970 to 2024, this study reveals that greenhouse gas emissions are driven primarily by structural forces rather than climate policies, exhibit a persistent two-club divergence pattern across regions, and show evidence of significant cross-border spillovers from Europe to North America and Latin America, though causal attribution to carbon leakage remains statistically inconclusive.
