This study analyzes Nigerian data from 1981 to 2024 and finds that while exchange-rate volatility exhibits high persistence, it does not have a statistically significant impact on manufacturing growth.
This study of 272 Premier Wallet users in Mogadishu, Somalia, reveals that mobile banking features significantly drive financial inclusion, both directly and indirectly through user trust, while these relationships are further shaped by demographic factors such as age, gender, employment status, and income.
This study introduces a Dynamic Network Data Envelopment Analysis framework that benchmarks a seasonal Mediterranean resort by evaluating its individual operating months as decision-making units, thereby isolating management performance from destination-specific factors and revealing that scale inefficiency driven by low-season operating leverage is the primary source of performance shortfalls.
This paper argues that the collapse of the Bretton Woods system was significantly driven by a biophysical energy imbalance, specifically the 1970 peak in US conventional crude oil production which forced a shift from energy-exporting to energy-importing status, thereby undermining the nation's external monetary position.
This paper introduces a compact-weight commensuration framework that resolves scaling distortions in optimization models to generate a unified, comparable marginal value of water across competing services, demonstrated through its application to the Xiaowan cascaded-reservoir system.
This study integrates Value-Belief-Norm and Diffusion of Innovation theories to reveal that while biospheric values and perceived benefits drive energy-efficiency behaviors and AI adoption intentions among New York SMEs, a significant gap often remains between these intentions and actual organizational implementation due to resource constraints.
This paper addresses the lack of measurement frameworks for algorithmic monoculture in credit intermediation by distinguishing between supply-chain concentration and decision convergence, developing a model showing that shared models can destabilize credit supply when error correlation rises faster than variance falls, and proposing a reference-portfolio supervision approach to estimate error correlation while arguing against premature capital add-ons in favor of building robust measurement capabilities.
This article investigates how sensory marketing events influence consumers' emotional responses to prices, offering a conceptual framework and practical recommendations to enhance pricing strategies through the integration of marketing, behavioral, and neuroscientific insights.
This paper utilizes a competitive model to demonstrate that while charging and usage subsidies are mutually substitutive, building subsidies become the dominant strategy for optimizing ride-hailing charging infrastructure once they exceed a specific threshold, with regional development levels further dictating the most suitable subsidy approach.
This study evaluates a memory-centered framework for intermediate-horizon equity selection across six markets and finds that while the approach makes retrieval decomposable, similarity-based memory selection fails to outperform random precedents or historical benchmarks, ultimately showing no statistically significant improvement in portfolio performance compared to passive strategies.
