This paper proposes a strategic framework for airline loyalty that shifts from retrospective rewards to a reciprocal "travel reserve" model, arguing that advance customer funding creates sustainable value only when paired with transparent, capacity-aware benefits, fair pricing, and rigorous operational governance to maintain trust and regulatory compliance.
This paper demonstrates that conventional financial forecast comparisons based on squared error are fundamentally flawed because they inadvertently rank models by their dispersion shrinkage rather than predictive skill, leading to spurious statistical significance, and proposes a "dispersion-matched" correction that rescales forecasts to the target's variance to isolate and accurately test genuine predictive ability.
This study of 116 Saudi SMEs demonstrates that knowledge management and IT infrastructure enhance business performance through a sequential mediation pathway where digital maturity fosters organizational agility, thereby validating the mechanisms supporting Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 economic diversification goals.
This paper employs a two-stage stochastic programming model to demonstrate that an optimal green ammonia export supply chain from Saudi Arabia to Europe and East Asia should be concentrated solely at the NEOM site with a capacity of 1.80 Mt/yr, yielding a significant economic advantage over deterministic designs and proving highly sensitive to market prices and capital costs under demand and route uncertainties.
This paper presents a novel five-module semi-parametric framework that integrates deep learning with financial theory to achieve regime-aware, arbitrage-consistent, and explainable high-frequency derivatives pricing and algorithmic trading, demonstrating significant improvements in accuracy, risk management, and interpretability over existing state-of-the-art models.
This paper demonstrates that the ranking of countries by travel cost varies drastically depending on whether one measures nominal USD expenses, local purchasing power, or income-based affordability, revealing that poorer nations are not necessarily more expensive to visit but are less affordable because travel prices do not scale down with lower local incomes.
This study employs a discrete-time optimal control model to demonstrate that while annual groundwater pumping floors in Lubbock County, Texas, successfully prevent stock depletion below a 90% target without altering cumulative pumping or mean acreage, they significantly reduce net present value by $1.0 to $13.5 million and are highly sensitive to yield multipliers and cotton prices rather than initial storage levels.
Based on 2025 Global Findex data from 75 economies, holders of digitally enabled accounts are significantly more likely to both receive unsolicited money requests and comply with them compared to other phone owners, with the majority of this increased risk occurring at the payment stage rather than the initial contact stage.
This paper investigates the relationship between broadband provision, speed, and adoption in the United States, finding that increased provision does not always boost adoption rates and that the sensitivity of adoption to speed improvements varies significantly by income level and rurality, with higher-income rural households and lower-income urban households showing the greatest responsiveness.
This paper proposes a novel topological data analysis framework using persistent homology and Mapper on Eurostat data to demonstrate that EU regional competitiveness is better understood as a multidimensional, segmented territorial structure rather than a single scalar ranking.
