This study demonstrates that superior ESG performance significantly reduces corporate risk-taking among Chinese listed firms by enhancing internal control quality and information transparency, with this risk-mitigating effect being particularly pronounced in environments characterized by weaker audit quality and limited analyst coverage.
This study demonstrates that immediate and continuous coastal adaptation is economically optimal for a significant portion of the global coastline, with 28% requiring action now and 31% by 2150, primarily through retreat and protection strategies that, if unaddressed, will disproportionately burden the Global South.
Using a synthetic control method on Jiangxi Province data from 2007 to 2022, this study provides credible evidence that the 2017 low-altitude logistics pilot in Nankang District significantly drove the county's composite economic green transformation relative to a constructed counterfactual.
Using a Time-Varying Parameter Vector Autoregression with Stochastic Volatility (TVP-VAR-SV) framework on Indonesian data from 2000 to 2025, this study finds that inflation dynamics have increasingly shifted from monetary to fiscal drivers, particularly following the post-pandemic fiscal expansion, thereby validating the Fiscal Theory of the Price Level and suggesting that effective monetary normalization requires coordinated fiscal consolidation.
Based on survey data from Assam, this study identifies supply-side and infrastructural barriers as more critical than demand-side factors in limiting farmers' access to institutional agricultural credit, recommending policy reforms to simplify procedures and strengthen financial infrastructure to boost investment and revenue.
Using a quantile regression framework, this study finds that South Africa exhibits a fragmented political business cycle where fiscal authorities pursue expansionary policies during elections while monetary authorities adopt contractionary measures to maintain stability, with both effects being moderate, heterogeneous, and significantly constrained by institutional quality and government effectiveness.
This paper analyzes global portfolio investment networks using 2024 data to reveal the dominant role of the United States and offshore financial centers, highlighting a significant post-2014 increase in equity and fund shares alongside divergent trends in debt securities that reflect the lingering effects of the sovereign debt crisis on European markets.
This study employs agent-based modeling to simulate the dynamic evolution of consumer trust and acceptance of advanced autonomous driving under various technological, social, and policy factors, offering data-driven insights for optimizing product strategies and regulatory interventions.
This paper proposes a deep multinomial probability framework that integrates neural networks with multinomial modeling to overcome the limitations of traditional linear methods by effectively capturing complex nonlinear relationships in high-dimensional market segmentation tasks.
This study analyzes Peruvian microfinance institutions from 2021 to 2025 and finds a U-shaped relationship between lending rates and credit risk, identifying an optimal rate of 29.21% beyond which further rate increases significantly deteriorate portfolio quality.
