This paper investigates the regulatory paradox where China's Two-Invoice System, intended to lower drug prices, inadvertently caused ex-factory prices to rise by forcing manufacturers to internalize distribution and marketing costs through vertical integration or outsourcing, thereby reshaping the industry's organizational structure and creating new regulatory blind spots.

Asymmetric Energy-Price Shock Transmission and Electricity-Sector Carbon Transition in ASEAN: Panel NARDL and MIDAS Evidence

This paper utilizes panel NARDL and MIDAS models to analyze ten ASEAN economies from 2000 to 2025, finding that while international energy-price shocks exhibit short-run asymmetries and volatility-dependent effects on electricity-sector decarbonization, the long-run regional response remains largely symmetric, suggesting that higher fossil-fuel prices alone do not causally accelerate carbon transition without considering country-specific structural factors.

Can government intervention through R&D steer fossil energy consumption? Evidence from the G7 economies: A MMQR approach

This study on G7 economies from 1990 to 2023 utilizes the Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR) to demonstrate that public R&D spending on renewable energy significantly reduces fossil fuel consumption—particularly in less fossil-intensive contexts—while fossil energy R&D reinforces it, thereby supporting policy recommendations to shift funding toward green innovation.
