This study analyzes data from 48 Sub-Saharan African countries between 2000 and 2024 to demonstrate that strengthening corruption control is a more robust and generalizable driver of public sector performance than income growth or political stability, thereby recommending focused institutional reforms and regional governance coordination.
Based on a survey of 160 young adults in northern India, this study finds that while Virtual Try-on technology significantly boosts purchase intention and reduces fit uncertainty, its full potential is currently hindered by technical performance issues and privacy concerns, suggesting that improving these aspects could enhance consumer satisfaction and lower return costs for Indian e-commerce platforms.
This paper argues that Philippe Aghion's Schumpeterian paradigm largely complements the Austrian tradition of Mises and Hayek by providing empirical evidence on the social effects of creative destruction, rather than challenging their established market-process theories of innovation.
This paper employs a game-theoretic framework and empirical analysis of 20 Sub-Saharan African countries to demonstrate that a targeted tax on the top 1% of earners can reduce inequality and improve well-being up to a specific threshold (approximately 36.4%), beyond which the credible threat of capital flight significantly limits the state's ability to levy higher rates, particularly in economies with open capital accounts.
This study of Ethiopian manufacturing suggests that Extended Producer Responsibility partially mediates the positive relationship between circular economy practices and sustainability performance, while institutional support is significantly associated with a stronger link between circular practices and the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility.
This paper reconciles conflicting global AI rankings of India by decomposing its performance gap with the US and China, revealing that while India is talent-rich, its position is severely constrained by a massive deficit in compute capacity and capital investment, a structural imbalance that current public programs cannot easily resolve.
Through a rigorous multi-stage review process that identified and corrected statistical redundancies in its methodology, this paper constructs a revised Software Developer Index (SDI) ranking 31 countries and concludes that the United States remains the top-ranked market for software engineers, followed by India in third place, despite the finding that the index is heavily weighted toward compensation due to high correlations between its original pillars.
Despite the expectation that proximity and improved logistics would make Latin America a primary beneficiary of US import reallocation following the 2018–2019 Section 301 tariffs on China, empirical analysis reveals that Latin American exporters failed to capture a disproportionate share of diverted trade, with their imports actually declining relative to other non-Chinese suppliers.
By developing a digital institutional hybridity framework and the CORE model, this study demonstrates that future industrial enterprises create superior value not by balancing competing ESG rationalities, but by strategically configuring Commitment, Outreach, Resource, and Efficiency dimensions through digital technologies to enable dynamic paradox management via segmentation, assimilation, or synthesis.
This paper introduces the Labour Market Turing Test (LMTT) and a latent trait called "machina" to quantify human-AI alignment in hiring, revealing that while tuning AI to mimic human traits narrows the gap, perfect imitation requires capturing the inherent diversity and "irrationality" of human reasoning rather than just average tendencies.
