Accounting State Space as a Foundation for Economic Agent-Based Modeling: An Input–Output Benchmark and Inventory Extension

This paper introduces Accounting-State Agent-Based Modeling (AS-ABM), a framework that enforces double-entry bookkeeping consistency at the transaction level to successfully replicate static Leontief input-output benchmarks while dynamically simulating how inventory constraints and replenishment rules influence economic multipliers and fluctuation patterns.

Does organic farming mitigate agricultural emissions? A multi‑dimensional panel analysis of cross‑sectional moderation and dynamic causality in the EU‑25

This study of EU-25 countries from 2014 to 2024 finds that while organic farming appears to reduce emissions sensitivity to fertilizer use in cross-sectional comparisons, this relationship is driven by structural differences between countries rather than a robust causal effect, as the mitigation impact becomes statistically insignificant when dynamic processes and endogeneity are accounted for.

When subsidy stops being necessary: resource logic in China’s low-altitude economy under new-quality-productive-forces

This study employs a configurational necessity analysis on Chinese listed firms to demonstrate that government subsidies, while a critical driver of innovation in the early stages of the low-altitude economy, lose their status as a necessary condition as the industry matures under China's "new-quality-productive-forces" agenda, revealing that resource necessity is time-varying rather than fixed and that no single alternative resource simply replaces subsidies as the new binding constraint.
