This study of eight IMF-programme economies finds that while banks' net foreign asset deficits do not significantly constrain private credit, central bank reserve shortages act as a binding constraint with a strong, asymmetric long-run impact, where declines in official reserves reduce credit far more severely than equivalent increases boost it.
This integrative literature review synthesizes multidisciplinary research to argue that decentralization in the Global South only fosters regional development when accompanied by matched fiscal autonomy, adequate administrative capacity, and robust accountability mechanisms, otherwise risking elite capture and increased disparities.
This paper constructs a longitudinal dataset and a new analytical framework to demonstrate that current public data lacks the necessary granularity and causal identification to verify whether AI inference efficiency is driving a Jevons Paradox, as observed price stability and unverified volume growth prevent a definitive conclusion on whether efficiency will ultimately limit or increase total energy demand.
This study analyzes Indian listed firms from 2010 to 2024 to demonstrate that economic policy uncertainty significantly reduces corporate investment efficiency, primarily by causing underinvestment, with the negative impact being more severe for financially constrained firms and mitigated for those affiliated with business groups.
This paper demonstrates that decisions generated by large language model agents in a bank balance-sheet management simulation can be effectively approximated by simple equations, which accurately reproduce key financial metrics like return on equity and liquidity dynamics across various scenarios, though the study clarifies that these findings validate the approximation methodology rather than confirming the models' representation of real-world human behavior.
This study of 385 Uber users in Bangladesh reveals that while price fairness and value are initially linked to satisfaction, service quality dimensions—specifically assurance, reliability, and responsiveness—are the primary drivers of customer satisfaction, which in turn strongly predicts continued use and loyalty.
This paper introduces the Hybrid Explainable Pricing Strategy Intelligence (HEPSI) framework, a fuzzy inference system applied to the M5 retail dataset that classifies pricing strategies into Penetration, Premium, and Dynamic categories based on economic drivers, offering a scalable and interpretable alternative to rigid optimization or black-box models.
This study utilizes product-level data on Chinese bank wealth management products to demonstrate that while the breaking of par value initially dispersed risk, the November 2022 episode ultimately heightened systemic risk—particularly for non-Big Six banks and flexible fixed-income products—through balance-sheet feedback mechanisms, thereby underscoring the need for differentiated supervision and improved liquidity management.
This paper empirically demonstrates that China's policy-driven shift toward anti-involution in the new-energy vehicle sector, while temporarily dampening profitability for aggressive price-cutters, ultimately enhances overall corporate financial resilience by significantly improving cash flow and solvency, particularly for high-leverage firms.
This paper proposes and empirically validates a peer-assessed revenue-sharing mechanism with a fixed denominator that endogenously generates firm surplus based on evaluation intensity, thereby eliminating unilateral manipulation while establishing a quantifiable trade-off between retention levels and ranking accuracy.
