This qualitative study examines how social innovation acts as a catalyst for inclusive entrepreneurial development within India's rapidly growing startup ecosystem by analyzing the interplay of social enterprises, grassroots innovation, and policy frameworks, while highlighting persistent challenges and proposing a conceptual framework to guide future supportive policies.
Grounded in multiple theoretical frameworks and utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this study reveals that while AI and OTT adoption in Zimbabwe's broadcasting sector significantly enhance audience engagement and operational efficiency, their impact on revenue generation remains moderate due to economic instability, underdeveloped digital advertising ecosystems, and infrastructural constraints.
Based on a multicountry panel analysis from 2018 to 2023, this study finds that natural resource dependence and political risk are consistently associated with weaker sustainable development performance, suggesting that governments should jointly monitor these factors to prioritize diversification and governance interventions.
This study analyzes 102 western Chinese cities hosting East–West co-built industrial parks using machine learning to reveal that while interregional collaboration provides institutional support, local urban conditions—particularly R&D personnel, infrastructure, and industrial density—are the primary drivers of innovation performance, exhibiting distinct nonlinear response patterns.
This paper analyzes ten years of panel data (2016–2025) from listed Indian manufacturing firms to demonstrate that while working capital management significantly impacts profitability, its effects vary across industries, necessitating tailored rather than generic management strategies.
Using panel data from 272 Chinese cities (2011–2022), this study demonstrates that industrial intelligentization significantly promotes the synergistic reduction of urban pollution and carbon emissions by operating through macro-level channels like green innovation and industrial upgrading, as well as micro-level mechanisms involving corporate responsibility and reduced information asymmetry, with effects varying across different city characteristics.
This paper operationalizes Misesian thymology as an empirical method by analyzing Tiv proverbs from pre-colonial Nigeria to demonstrate how culturally transmitted motivational knowledge sustains informal economic coordination and institutional stability in the absence of formal legal enforcement.
By harmonizing four Jordanian household surveys (2022–2025) using a consensual indicator framework, this study reveals that while absolute energy poverty rates vary due to methodological differences, structural deprivation gradients across income and rural–urban divides remain stable, supporting targeted income-based interventions over universal subsidies.
Using a novel partial proportional-odds model on 2023 Jordanian household data, this study reveals that the transition from traditional to transitional heating fuels is primarily driven by wealth and geography, while the shift to modern fuels depends more on infrastructure and supply availability, thereby challenging the assumption of a uniform energy ladder and highlighting the need for geographically targeted policies and infrastructure investment.
This study utilizes a discrete choice experiment in Pakistan to demonstrate that enhancing flood insurance uptake for climate adaptation requires affordable premiums, faster claim settlements, and initiatives to build institutional trust, as evidenced by respondents' strong preference for higher coverage and shorter payout durations.
