Using a regression-based Fields decomposition of 2017/2018 Argentine household data, this study identifies household size and education as the primary determinants of consumption inequality, accounting for approximately 63% of the disparity, while suggesting these factors should guide public policy to reduce inequality and enhance well-being.
This research paper analyzes how the rapid adoption of digital payment systems like UPI and digital wallets in India has transformed consumer spending behavior, specifically examining changes in purchase frequency, transaction values, impulse buying, and budget discipline through secondary data analysis from 2019 to 2025.
This study employs a hybrid PLS-SEM and machine learning approach on data from Turkish supply chain managers to demonstrate that environmental risk and regulatory pressure increase disruption probability primarily by heightening operational vulnerability, suggesting that managers should prioritize mitigating internal vulnerabilities over merely monitoring external threats.
This paper analyzes a global dataset from 1990 to 2021 to demonstrate that while medical research responsiveness to endemic disease burdens has increased over time, it remains uneven across regions, with outbreak alerts triggering rapid research surges and distinct funding patterns emerging between philanthropic and corporate sources.
This paper argues that successful industrial decarbonization requires a systemic transformation into coordinated green industrial ecosystems, as demonstrated by China's Ordos Net-Zero Industrial Park, rather than relying solely on carbon pricing or single-technology solutions, with critical implications for ensuring green investment builds domestic productive capabilities in the Global South.
Using panel data from 31 Tanzanian regions (2006–2022), this study employs spatial Durbin models to demonstrate that financial agglomeration significantly promotes high-quality regional development through both direct and spillover effects, though these impacts dynamically shift between siphoning and positive spillovers over time and are moderated by industrial structure and education.
This systematic literature review identifies that while Green Customs offers a vital pathway for Indonesia's sustainable development through environmental governance and green trade, its effectiveness is currently hindered by regulatory fragmentation and weak policy implementation, necessitating a shift toward coordinated, data-driven, and digitally enabled customs practices.
This paper presents a decentralized general-equilibrium model of the big push where sectoral growth depends on the growth rates of other sectors, demonstrating that the spectral radius of the complementarity matrix governs balanced growth and identifying a specific subset of "Perron-critical" sectors that must be activated to escape a development trap, while highlighting that market failures can still prevent equilibrium even when a viable configuration exists.
By developing a dynamic approach that accounts for uncertainties in future discount rates and the relative price changes of ecosystem services, this study reveals that the social costs of tropical deforestation in the Brazilian Legal Amazon are more than double previous estimates, thereby strengthening the economic argument for forest conservation.
This paper analyzes how rating systems influence both consumer learning and seller incentives in markets with endogenous product quality, using structural estimation and counterfactual experiments to demonstrate that rating manipulation harms market outcomes while rating forgiveness improves revenue, quality, and welfare.
