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.
This paper analyzes India's 2026 sugar price surge using structural models to conclude that the volatility stems from a complex interplay of tighter future fundamentals, global price transmission, and inventory expectations rather than speculation alone, prompting a proposal for a new Sugar Pressure Index and dynamic remuneration framework to enhance policy coordination.
Using data from SHARE and Eurostat, this study simulates the financial sustainability of disability care in the Baltic States through 2036, predicting significant increases in total benefits for older women and specific working-age men while offering critical insights for policymakers.
Using an empirically calibrated agent-based model, this study demonstrates that a climate club initiated by major economies like the EU, China, or the US can expand into a global treaty if it implements sufficiently stringent border carbon tariffs and strategically allocates tariff revenues to mitigate trade retaliation and incentivize membership.
This study demonstrates that China's Fair Competition Review System significantly enhances corporate ESG performance and reduces greenwashing by strengthening market competition, with these positive effects being particularly pronounced among state-owned enterprises and firms in monopolistic industries, ultimately leading to improved financing and market outcomes.
Using data from the RAND Health and Retirement Study, this dyadic analysis reveals that couples in blended families report significantly lower financial satisfaction than those in nuclear families, with husbands experiencing a steeper decline than wives and both partners' satisfaction levels being interdependent, particularly as the partner's satisfaction increases.
This paper employs a game-theoretic framework to demonstrate that Li (ritual propriety) in Chinese civilization functions as an endogenous focal point by systematically restricting the strategy space to eliminate non-compliant actions, thereby resolving coordination problems and selecting a unique equilibrium without relying on traditional payoff or risk dominance criteria.
This research argues that crowdfunding serves as a superior predictor of SME internationalization and growth compared to traditional financial indicators by leveraging the "wisdom of the crowd" for market validation and strategic foresight.
This article argues that enhancing the financial resilience of Cameroonian local authorities requires a synergistic approach combining diversified funding sources—specifically through strengthened local taxation, optimized transfers, innovative mechanisms, and climate finance—with effective multilevel governance to ensure sustainable fiscal stability amidst economic and environmental pressures.
Using panel data from 269 Chinese cities (2011–2023), this study demonstrates that green finance pilot policies not only boost local green finance but also significantly drive development in adjacent non-pilot cities through spillover effects, particularly in economically advanced, large, non-resource, and digitally developed regions, while highlighting the need for improved policy mechanisms to sustain these benefits.
