Does fiscal policy influence industrialization in Sub-Saharan Africa? An explanation using the staggered lag autoregressive (ARDL) panel approach

Using a panel ARDL model on 24 Sub-Saharan African countries from 1994 to 2018, this study finds that fiscal policy and financial openness positively drive industrialization, while the services and agriculture sectors hinder manufacturing value added, suggesting a need to prioritize public investment in infrastructure, education, and health.

Effective Demand, Inflation, and the Persistence of Unemployment: The Limits of Full-Employment Policy

This paper argues that while government expenditure positively influences economic growth, its ability to secure full employment is severely limited by the weak predictive power of policy instruments on output and the finding that unemployment is driven primarily by the output gap rather than inflation, implying that achieving full employment requires demand to consistently outpace productive capacity rather than merely sustaining growth.

Networked Influence and Advertising Effectiveness: A Social Network Analytics-Informed Structural Equation Modeling Framework for Consumer Engagement in Digital Markets

This study proposes a two-stage research framework that integrates large-scale SAGraph social network analytics with a theory-driven Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach to empirically investigate how networked influence, contextual fit, and influencer credibility drive consumer engagement and advertising effectiveness, while explicitly distinguishing between existing computational benchmarks and a future-ready protocol for latent-variable inference.

Domestic versus Foreign R&D Collaboration and Technology Transfer Performance: Does Technology Field Matter?

Using large-scale data from Korea's government-funded R&D projects, this study finds that while both domestic and foreign collaborations significantly enhance technology transfer performance (measured by royalty income), these positive effects do not vary significantly across different technology fields, suggesting that partner geography influences the qualitative nature of collaborative value rather than its monetary yield and supporting field-agnostic collaboration policies.

Data governance research and the data economy: Quantitative evidence on thematic imbalance, knowledge diffusion and collaboration

This quantitative bibliometric analysis of 2,128 data governance publications from 2012–2024 reveals a persistent thematic imbalance where computer science dominates while economic and organizational dimensions remain underexplored, alongside a knowledge diffusion pattern that is heavily academic rather than policy- or patent-oriented.
