This paper employs an integrated DEA-TOPSIS framework to evaluate the 2022/23 efficiency of 22 Indian life insurers, revealing that inefficiency is primarily driven by managerial incompetence rather than scale issues, with Reliance Nippon Life Insurance ranking highest and Edelweiss Tokio Life Insurance lowest.
This paper applies category theory to analyze the Academic Journal Guide (AJG), revealing that its journal classifications are largely driven by proprietary citation data with substantial category overlap and a lack of transparent appeal mechanisms, rather than the stated definitional criteria.
This study reveals that India's post-pandemic reverse migration primarily increased unemployment risk rather than causing occupational downgrading, as returnees faced significantly higher rates of joblessness compared to pre-pandemic migrants without a corresponding decline in job quality or skill levels among those who remained employed.
This study demonstrates that a Multi-Gate Mixture-of-Experts (MMoE) framework for the joint estimation of probability of default and loss given default significantly improves expected-loss calibration, particularly for middle and high-risk borrowers, by leveraging selective parameter sharing to better utilize shared borrower information compared to conventional sequential approaches.
This study employs a Two-Stage Least Squares approach to analyze Morocco's 2003–2024 data, revealing that while e-government development significantly enhances public governance quality, e-participation currently exerts a negative impact due to insufficient citizen engagement, thereby informing a strategic roadmap for future digital transformation.
This paper addresses the significant inconsistencies in global Gini coefficient estimates by constructing a unified dataset of over 122,000 observations to identify systematic measurement differences—particularly between income and consumption metrics—and provides correction factors to harmonize these estimates for more effective policy analysis.
In 1998, Sweden reformed its public pension system by transitioning from a pay-as-you-go defined benefit plan to a hybrid model featuring a Notional Defined Contribution scheme and individual accounts, thereby linking benefits to contributions and earnings while incorporating automatic adjustments for longevity.
This paper employs a Stackelberg game model to analyze Emergency Medical Service public–private partnerships in India, demonstrating that structural underinvestment arises from the government's inability to capture full marginal returns, that tax-exempt non-profits with specific mission weights can achieve first-best efficiency while outperforming taxed corporations, and that pre-committed surge clauses are superior to renegotiation or bridge financing for managing demand shocks.
Using a cusp catastrophe model on four major stablecoins from 2019 to 2023, this study reveals that price depegging is a nonlinear process driven by distinct liquidity and redemption mechanisms, where on-chain capital flows and holdings concentration serve as effective forward-looking early-warning indicators for both moderate and severe deviations.
This paper introduces the "Risk-at-Risk," a novel quantile-based indicator that measures diversification vulnerability by analyzing the dynamic relationship between the lower-tail risk concentration of risky and hedge assets, revealing significant time variation and distinct patterns across emerging and advanced economies.
