This paper introduces the Diplomatic Capital Model to explain how the quality of diplomatic missions moderates the conversion of formal treaties into economic outcomes, demonstrating through a Spain–Nigeria case study that deficits in operational diplomatic capital cause investment underperformance and proposing targeted institutional reforms to bridge this gap.
This quantitative study of 92 respondents in Mogadishu, Somalia, reveals that while medium-sized enterprise development significantly reduces poverty through job creation and income enhancement, small entrepreneurship does not demonstrate a statistically significant impact in this post-conflict context.
This study utilizes second-generation panel data techniques on 21 major economies from 1995 to 2021 to demonstrate that economic complexity and environmental technology are persistent drivers of clean energy production, while highlighting the potential of environmental tax revenues to fund human capital and technological upgrades when supported by effective government institutions.
This study empirically validates an integrated TAM-TPB framework using data from 512 Indian online shoppers to demonstrate that AI perceptions, particularly intelligence and personalization, drive customer loyalty through the sequential mediation of perceived usefulness, attitude toward AI shopping, and purchase intention.
This paper employs an agent-based model to demonstrate that while income remains the primary driver of battery electric vehicle adoption in Portugal, strategic investment in charging infrastructure is more effective than fiscal incentives for boosting adoption rates and reducing spatial inequality.
This study analyzes the 1991–2024 bilateral trade dynamics between India and Singapore using intensity ratios and structural break modelling to demonstrate a progressive deepening of economic interdependence driven by policy reforms and global events, despite occasional fluctuations.
This paper argues that Nigeria's 2026 shift to an ad valorem sugar-sweetened beverage tax is structurally flawed for public health goals because it fails to incentivize recipe reformulation, is obscured by high inflation, and bypasses the informal market, necessitating a transition to a tiered, gram-specific volumetric tax model.
This paper demonstrates that first-difference models outperform traditional level-based specifications in forecasting cross-market volatility when data exhibit strong persistence, highlighting the critical need to align modeling strategies with forecasting objectives.
While Kenya's Structural Adjustment Program achieved some macroeconomic stabilization and fostered political pluralism, it ultimately failed to drive sustained industrial growth and instead exacerbated unemployment, poverty, and public debt through harsh austerity measures.
