The Structure of Income, Factor prices, and Farmland Leasing

This paper theoretically and empirically demonstrates that as China's rural labor mobility increases and household income structures shift away from agriculture, the function of farmland transitions from a primary production factor to an interest-bearing asset, thereby driving land rental supply and highlighting the importance of leveraging land's property rights to support agricultural modernization and prevent abandonment.

Security Culture and Its Boundary Conditions Explain Effective and Accountable Information Security Management in Vietnam

This study of 358 Vietnamese organizations demonstrates that security culture and competency serve as a critical mechanism through which top management commitment and external institutional pressure drive effective information security management, while revealing that resource capability acts directly and that these dynamics vary significantly based on organizational maturity and team size.

Revisiting the Twin Deficit Hypothesis in South Asia: Crowding-Out Effects and Capital Flow Dynamics

This study challenges the universality of the Twin Deficit Hypothesis in South Asia by demonstrating that the relationship between fiscal and external deficits only emerged post-2008, operates independently of crowding-out effects, and is primarily driven by capital flows—specifically remittances and FDI—rather than fiscal transmission mechanisms.

Policy coherence between industrialization and poverty reduction in Ethiopian development planning from 2002 to 2030

This study analyzes five Ethiopian national development plans from 2002 to 2030 and finds that while industrialization is consistently rhetorically linked to poverty reduction, operational policy coherence has progressively declined due to segregated institutions, divergent resource allocation, and a lack of shared targets, ultimately preventing the systematic realization of industrialization's pro-poor potential.

Policy-industrial capital collaboration and firm innovation in the low-altitude economy: Evidence from government-guided funds’ equity participation in China

This study demonstrates that joint equity participation by government-guided funds and industrial capital significantly enhances innovation in China's low-altitude economy, an effect that is further strengthened by effective compensation mechanisms, industrial relatedness, and specific firm characteristics such as non-state ownership and lower airworthiness certification dependence.

Does Political Alternation Reshape Solar-Stock Return Formation? Evidence from Taiwan’s Energy Transition

This study finds that while international oil prices and revenue growth influence Taiwan's solar-stock returns, political alternation alone does not cause a discrete structural break in the return-generating process, suggesting that capital-market responses depend more on firms' ability to convert policy-supported expansion into sustainable cash flows than on regime changes.

Dynamic Balance Evaluation of Urban Public Safety and Smart Sustainable Development —Based on the Entropy Three Parallel Two-Stage Dynamic DDF Model

This study utilizes an Entropy Three-Parallel Two-stage Dynamic DDF model to reveal that Chinese cities currently lack a dynamic balance between public safety governance and smart sustainable development, with food safety identified as the primary bottleneck and a notable decline in coordination observed after 2021.
