This study finds no robust long-run or predictive relationship between the stringency of New Mexico's statutory Renewable Portfolio Standard and its real gross state product, suggesting that aggregate output alone is insufficient to measure the policy's broader contributions to sustainable development goals.
Using a methodologically refined heteroskedastic ordered probit model on survey data from 3,075 economic agents in Benin's Oueme Delta, this study identifies health shocks, water color, education, and housing tenure as key determinants of water quality dissatisfaction, advocating for localized governance strategies over broad demographic targeting.
This study analyzes how climatic variability in Sub-Saharan Africa affects child chronic undernutrition through income and disease pathways, finding that droughts during the growing season significantly increase malnutrition and that water availability indicators accounting for temperature and soil type reveal income pathway impacts are as critical as disease environment effects.
Using Swedish administrative data, this paper demonstrates that while business entry is more common among individuals with lower prior earnings, the likelihood of founding a persistent, high-growth employer firm is positively correlated with prior earnings, a relationship that remains robust even after controlling for a comprehensive set of wealth, skills, and experience characteristics.
This study analyzes 1990–2024 data from seven South Asian nations to reveal that exchange rate depreciation is the primary driver of inflation during global oil shocks and geopolitical tensions, while foreign exchange reserves and current account balances play only limited mitigating roles, suggesting central banks should prioritize exchange rate stability over reserve accumulation to control inflation.
This conceptual paper argues that sustainability disclosure mandates fail to improve capital allocation unless accompanied by robust assurance and rating infrastructure, as the "credibility wedge" between disclosure volume and investor-trusted reliability renders excessive reporting informationally useless.
Using 2014 European Labour Survey data and an item response theory model, this paper estimates and maps the distribution of migrants' skills across European host countries, revealing significant variations with Nordic nations, Switzerland, and the UK hosting the most highly qualified migrants, thereby highlighting the need for policy coordination while offering insights into successful attraction strategies.
This study employs Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) and MICMAC analysis, supported by content analysis of BRSR reports, to identify and characterize twelve highly interdependent barriers to green banking initiatives in India, revealing their critical role as linkage variables that simultaneously drive and depend on one another.
This study analyzes a nationwide sample of German chief physicians to demonstrate that hospital ownership and specific structural characteristics significantly influence the design of internal compensation and non-compensation incentive systems, suggesting that future research on hospital performance should directly measure these incentive arrangements rather than relying solely on broad structural proxies.
Despite Sub-Saharan African countries spending significantly less on R&D than the global average, this study demonstrates that even limited public investments in research and development significantly enhance long-term well-being by driving technological development, attracting foreign direct investment, improving governance, and boosting GDP.
