The Impact of University R&D Funding Structure on Regional Innovation Output: Evidence from Chinese Provincial Panel Data

Using Chinese provincial panel data from 2010 to 2019, this study finds that while total university R&D expenditure positively drives regional innovation outputs, the specific composition of funding between basic and applied research yields no robust additional effects beyond overall scale, suggesting that institutional constraints on knowledge translation may be more critical than fund allocation ratios.

Sustainability ratings do not change the disposition effect of Indian equity fund managers but redemption pressure does

This study of Indian equity mutual funds from 2013 to 2024 finds that while sustainability ratings do not influence the disposition effect, redemption pressure significantly drives managers to realize gains over losses, suggesting the phenomenon stems from structural constraints rather than cognitive bias.

A Goal Framing Stimulus Organism Response and Trust Based Explanation of Why Food Retailers Continue Using Eco Friendly Packaging in an Emerging Market

This study investigates why food retailers in India continue using eco-friendly packaging by integrating Goal-Framing Theory, the Stimulus-Organism-Response framework, and the Theory of Planned Behaviour, revealing that while environmental concern is the primary driver of intention, trustworthiness acts as a critical negative moderator that determines whether such intentions translate into sustained practice.

Political Economy Barriers to HIV Financing Resilience in Nigeria: Donor Dependency, Fragmented Governance, and Intermittent Leadership

This paper argues that Nigeria's inability to build resilient HIV financing stems from politically produced structural vulnerabilities—specifically donor dependency, fragmented governance, and intermittent leadership—which prioritize reactive fixes over the systemic reforms necessary for sustainable domestic funding.

Dynamic Programming Treatment of the Solow and Ramsey–Cass–Koopmans Growth Models

This paper bridges the Solow and Ramsey–Cass–Koopmans growth models to the Bellman equation to demonstrate that while the asymptotic convergence rate of fitted value function iteration is determined by the discount factor, selecting an initial value-function guess closer to the true solution significantly reduces the number of iterations required to reach a target error.

Disentangling the Role of Environmental Provisions in Free Trade Agreements as a Driver ofSpecialization in Green Exports

This study reveals that while the mere presence of environmental provisions in free trade agreements does not significantly boost green export specialization, specific provisions that liberalize trade in environmental goods—particularly within South-South agreements and sectors like vehicles and plastics—can dramatically increase green export intensity, whereas generic clauses and North-South agreements often fail to deliver or even hinder such gains.

Strategic Potential of DPRK's Mineral Resources for Integration into Global Critical Mineral Supply Chains

This study concludes that while North Korea possesses significant mineral resources, its integration into global critical mineral supply chains remains a contingent long-term prospect rather than an immediate solution, due to substantial risks related to sanctions, infrastructure deficits, institutional instability, and unverified resource data.
