This study of Zhejiang's development zones reveals that while higher industrial diversity is positively associated with recorded innovation intensity, greater industrial concentration correlates with lower innovation, highlighting the limitations of relying solely on administrative boundaries for cross-zone coordination decisions.
This paper develops a life-cycle-oriented dynamic general-equilibrium model to demonstrate that while recycling subsidies primarily boost downstream recycling volumes, extended producer responsibility more effectively drives upstream design improvements and waste reduction, with their combined policy mix yielding positive welfare outcomes contingent on the valuation of waste-stock damages.
This quantitative study of 420 Nigerian stakeholders demonstrates that all six dimensions of the entrepreneurial ecosystem—specifically entrepreneurial networking, market access, finance, institutional support, infrastructure, and human capital—significantly and positively drive economic development, with networking identified as the strongest predictor.
This study of a Kazakhstani university hospital reveals that while healthcare digitalization significantly boosted administrative productivity, it failed to generate immediate direct budgetary savings due to a dual-workflow effect where digital and paper-based processes coexisted, resulting in a conditional ROI that turns negative under risk-adjusted scenarios.
This paper develops a continuous-time theoretical framework and a Relative Scarcity Index (RSI-MY) to analyze molybdenum scarcity in copper-dominant mines by separating domain-specific rents from common-capacity rents, demonstrating its application through Chilean production data which reveals a 10.6% decline in Los Pelambres' relative molybdenum scarcity between Q1 2024 and Q1 2025.
This paper constructs a comprehensive 30-year panel of U.S. interstate commodity flows to demonstrate that the geography of subnational trade is remarkably persistent, with bilateral trade relationships remaining largely unchanged across decades, economic shocks, and commodity types, implying that older benchmarks effectively capture trade structure while new surveys primarily update trade volumes.
This study of Vietnamese non-financial firms reveals that while selling expenses appear symmetric on average, their stickiness actually varies systematically with economic growth, as stronger macroeconomic conditions lead firms to perceive sales declines as less persistent and thus adjust costs less aggressively.
This study argues that while plurilateral cooperation under Article 6.2 could reduce the transaction costs caused by fragmented bilateral agreements through standardized rules and infrastructure, it introduces new governance burdens, suggesting a bounded pilot approach is more prudent than immediate institutional expansion.
This paper theorizes that institutional trust functions as a differential filter on prepaid contractual forms rather than expenditure levels, demonstrating how the choice between direct deposits and vouchers determines market regimes, reveals risk weights, and shows that custodial mandates are superior to voucher substitution in mitigating true risk.
This study utilizes panel data analysis of 84 KSE-100 listed firms from 2011 to 2020 to investigate how various ownership structures, including institutional, foreign, state, managerial, family, and concentrated ownership, influence Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure in Pakistan, offering insights for investors and policymakers to strengthen CSR regulations.
