This study demonstrates that in Indonesian Islamic boarding schools, digital payment systems enhance students' financial discipline both directly and indirectly by strengthening self-regulation, highlighting the role of institutional context in shaping the behavioral outcomes of cashless governance.
This paper utilizes an agent-based model to demonstrate that while extractive characters may boost short-term economic performance by eliminating low-productivity agents, they ultimately undermine long-term economic inclusiveness in decentralized markets, highlighting the critical need for generative characters to sustain collective prosperity.
This paper proposes a model-agnostic regime-aware decision calibration layer that dynamically adjusts trading thresholds based on detected market states, significantly enhancing performance across diverse deep learning models by leveraging market regime information as a distinct mechanism complementary to probability calibration.
This paper employs a maximum-entropy framework and Bayesian estimation on U.S. industry data from 1962 to 2024 to demonstrate that while long-run profitability has declined, profit-rate equalization has increased, leaving limited scope for further gains from capital reallocation in recent decades.
This study analyzes the 2020 Somaliland Demographic and Health Survey data to reveal that household electricity access is low (29%) and significantly influenced by wealth, household size, media exposure, and geographic location, with rural and nomadic populations facing the greatest disparities.
This theory-driven systematic literature review of 59 Scopus-indexed articles challenges the traditional Human Capital Theory by introducing the "Human Capital Paradox" framework, which explains how rapid digital transformation and technological advancements have created a complex skill mismatch leading to widespread underemployment despite high educational attainment.
This study addresses growth-based benchmarking bias in public services by introducing a time-comparable efficiency framework that distinguishes between productivity growth and stable performance levels, revealing that rapid growth often masks low baselines while identifying four distinct, context-sensitive pathways to sustained high efficiency in China's provincial fitness services.
This study analyzes monthly trade data from 2011 to 2024 to reveal a significant asymmetry in India-Myanmar trade relations, where Myanmar exhibits high and volatile dependence on India marked by two structural breaks, while India's trade remains stable and largely unaffected by Myanmar, highlighting Myanmar's economic vulnerability and the urgent need for trade diversification.
Drawing on dynamic capabilities theory and survey data from 333 Chinese manufacturing firms, this study reveals that AI-powered capabilities significantly enhance green new product development through dual mediating roles of green exploratory and exploitative processes, with the exploratory pathway demonstrating a significantly stronger mediating effect than the exploitative one.
This study demonstrates that while total population growth negatively impacts economic performance in ECOWAS countries, the ongoing demographic transition—characterized by a growing working-age population and supported by agricultural and industrial sectors—significantly contributes to economic growth, confirming that these nations are currently in the second phase of demographic transition.
