This study integrates econometrics, unsupervised clustering, and supervised machine learning to analyze European regional innovation data, revealing that while innovation drivers follow systematic positive relationships, regional performance exhibits significant heterogeneity and nonlinear predictability best captured by K-Means clustering and K-Nearest Neighbors regression.
This paper systematizes disparate distributed energy resource (DER) cost and performance data by screening 33 datasets, harmonizing them to a common total overnight cost model, and synthesizing representative systems across various capacities to serve as consistent inputs for techno-economic and lifecycle analyses.
This paper utilizes a quasi-experimental design based on China's medical-elderly care integration pilot to demonstrate that improved access to formal care for older adults triggers a "reverse-substitution" effect, where time previously spent receiving care is reallocated to increase grandchild care provision.
This qualitative study argues that the aggressive, volume-driven pricing strategies of quick-commerce platforms are financially and environmentally unsustainable due to their incompatibility with efficient batching, proposing differentiated pricing to shape demand as a critical solution for a viable last-mile ecosystem.
This study challenges the assumption that legal adoption of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) improves financial reporting quality in Africa, demonstrating through mixed-method analysis that statutory mandates often fail to predict actual performance and that tracking outcome-based indicators like PEFA scores is essential alongside legal milestones.
This study reveals that the impact of Covid-19 uncertainty on housing markets is phase-dependent and varies by asset tier and location, with top-tier homes in select states, mid-tier homes in populous states, and bottom-tier homes in major MSAs demonstrating safe-haven characteristics under specific shock conditions.
This multi-agent simulation study reveals that the impact of increasing investment freedom on wealth inequality is conditional on household consumption behavior, reducing inequality only when annual consumption remains below a critical threshold of approximately 7% of wealth.
This paper argues that India's below-replacement fertility states face inherent limits to recovery due to high rates of permanent sterilization, suggesting that future policy must prioritize supporting family formation among younger cohorts and shifting away from irreversible contraceptive methods.
This paper introduces a flexible, gradient descent-based benchmark framework for multi-objective portfolio optimization that leverages automatic differentiation to handle complex constraints and diverse objectives, demonstrating competitive performance against standard solvers across various experimental scenarios.
Using a decade of linked administrative data from Belgium, this study reveals that long-term income poverty is characterized by significant heterogeneity across demographic and socioeconomic factors and is spatially concentrated in Brussels and Wallonia, underscoring the necessity of extended observation windows and subnational analysis for effective social policy targeting.
