Using PISA microdata from 2018 and 2022, this study finds that while the COVID-19 pandemic increased educational inequality of opportunity and reduced technical efficiency across 24 countries, overall productivity improved due to technological progress, demonstrating that efficiency and equity are not mutually exclusive goals.
This study investigates how Tunisian enterprises can transform compliance with European sustainability frameworks like the CSRD and Green Taxonomy from a regulatory obligation into a strategic driver for financial value creation, risk management, and international credibility through a mixed-methods analysis of the causal links between sustainability reporting and corporate performance.
This paper utilizes bibliometric analysis of literature from 2018 to 2023 to highlight the under-researched yet critical intersection of talent management and refugee integration within European Union host countries, emphasizing the need for further investigation to enhance immigrants' economic contributions and social inclusion.
This study employs Panel ARDL and PNARDL models to demonstrate that government debt, trade openness, and oil prices exert significant, asymmetric, and crisis-sensitive effects on inflation in GCC countries from 1980 to 2024, highlighting the need for macroeconomic policies that account for these non-linear dynamics and external vulnerabilities.
Using a panel of 14 Sahel and Sahara nations from 1980 to 2024, this study employs Tobit and Panel ARDL/PMG estimators to demonstrate that tariffs in these fragile economies function primarily as fiscal and stabilization tools that rise with inflation and monetary instability, suggesting that successful trade reform requires coordinated monetary, fiscal, and trade policies.
This paper analyzes Qatar's 1980–2024 economic data to conclude that while monetary expansions offer only temporary short-term stabilization, they ultimately destabilize growth and distort the economy, making foreign direct investment the primary driver of sustainable long-run stability.
This study indicates that in 2026, the gross salary of a senior researcher in Ukraine is significantly insufficient for a comfortable standard of living compared to developed nations, with a purchasing power ratio as low as 0.4 that is further eroded by inflation, thereby exacerbating researcher retention challenges amid wartime emigration.
This paper demonstrates that climate-related financial vulnerability in North American and European banking, insurance, energy, and utilities sectors is not uniform but becomes financially significant only under specific conditions of uneven network spillover distribution and sectoral sensitivity heterogeneity, highlighting the critical role of network topology and persistence in systemic risk monitoring.
This paper argues that skilled women disproportionately choose the Skilled Non-Market Services sector because its specific characteristics—such as a small gender wage gap, high hourly compensation with fewer working hours, and greater job stability—align with their preferences for balancing family consumption, leisure, and labor market participation.
This study challenges the conventional assumption that incorporation reduces borrower risk by demonstrating that, in peer-to-peer crowdfunding markets, sole proprietorships with unlimited personal liability are significantly less likely to be classified as high-risk compared to similar private limited firms, suggesting that personal liability serves as a credible commitment mechanism under information asymmetry.
