This paper develops and calibrates a Green Stock-Flow Consistent macroeconomic model tailored to Algeria's hydrocarbon-dependent economy to demonstrate that a phased carbon tax combined with targeted renewable investment can drive medium-run economic diversification and employment, despite short-term inflationary pressures.
This study analyzes data from Pakistan's Sharīʿah-compliant firms (2008–2019) to demonstrate that greater board gender diversity positively influences all dimensions of corporate social responsibility, suggesting that increasing female representation on these boards enhances social performance.
This paper proposes an auditable framework to demonstrate that the measured frequency and severity of stablecoin depegs are not neutral market properties but are significantly driven by methodological choices in detection rules, data sources, and validation criteria.
Through a pre-registered experiment involving 4,586 participants across four countries, this study reveals that efficiency improvements often trigger "unproductive rebound," where lower input costs lead to significantly increased resource consumption without corresponding gains in output, a behavior that persists even when environmental costs are made salient.
This paper develops a decision-theoretic framework demonstrating that the joint observation of point and density forecasts in survey data enables the separate identification of agents' beliefs and preferences, revealing richer information about expectation formation than previously recognized.
This study utilizes a multi-regional input-output model to estimate that Japan's 2021 manufacturing final demand is linked to approximately 51,000 worker-equivalents of forced labour risk, primarily concentrated in emerging Asian economies and specific sectors like food, electronics, and apparel, thereby highlighting the need for consumption-based human rights due diligence aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals.
This study of 39 Asian economies reveals that institutional quality enhances human development primarily through the mediating mechanism of e-governance, while digital readiness and income levels fail to significantly moderate this relationship, suggesting that governance mechanisms are more critical than macro-level enabling conditions.
This paper presents a computer-implemented framework that integrates gradient boosting, survival analysis, and constrained optimization to refine subprime auto loan pricing, significantly improving risk prediction accuracy and enabling more granular interest rate adjustments that lower rates for low-risk borrowers while adhering to profit and loss constraints.
Despite India's near-universal electrification and significant renewable capacity additions, this study of 35 states from 2020 to 2023 reveals that coal generation remains the primary driver of energy deficits while renewable capacity shows no measurable impact on reliability, suggesting that current capacity-based SDG 7 monitoring overstates the operational maturity of the energy transition.
This study utilizes an integrated multi-horizon distributional analysis of Ghana's equity market from 2014 to 2024 to reveal that domestic monetary policy shocks have a weak and inconsistent impact on stock returns, whereas global oil prices and short-term funding costs play a more significant, state-dependent role in driving market dynamics.
