This paper analyzes North African economies from 2000 to 2022 and finds that while climate damages significantly hinder economic growth, policy stability effectively buffers these adverse effects, a protective mechanism that is further amplified by inflows of green foreign direct investment.
This study analyzes Indonesian manufacturing firms to reveal that AI adoption significantly boosts productivity, particularly for medium-sized firms in technology-intensive sectors and those recovering from economic shocks, while demonstrating diminishing marginal returns as firms increase in size and input intensity.
This study of 1,613 urban households in Malawi reveals that while 88.6% are willing to pay for clean cooking technologies, behavioral factors like awareness and prior experience are the strongest predictors of this willingness, suggesting that policy interventions must prioritize experiential campaigns, user-centered designs, and improved market access to overcome the dominance of charcoal and achieve Sustainable Development Goal 7.
This study demonstrates that the relationship between drought and water stress varies significantly by country scale, being strong and negative in larger nations but weak or absent in the smallest countries and small island states due to differences in how national climate indices correspond to their specific hydrological systems.
This study utilizes county-level panel data and difference-in-differences models to demonstrate that China's Major Function Zoning strategy in the Yellow River Basin produces heterogeneous effects, simultaneously boosting economic growth in ecological zones through fiscal transfers while curbing carbon emissions in urbanized and agricultural zones via land use controls, thereby revealing a complex trade-off between regional development and low-carbon transition.
This study evaluates the Angoran Pb-Zn open-pit mine's production planning under mineral price uncertainty by comparing three valuation methods—NPV Scheduler, @Risk Monte Carlo simulation, and a simulation-based decision-making system—across five annual production scenarios, ultimately confirming that the 1.2 Mt/yr rate maximizes Net Present Value regardless of the chosen approach.
This paper employs a bibliometric analysis of over 21,000 documents to reveal the theoretical disconnection between endogenous market structures, policy instruments, and value chain governance in EU enlargement economies, subsequently proposing a unified "selective regulation" framework and testable propositions to address the region's structural weakness of exporting raw commodities rather than value-added processed goods.
This study addresses the critical need for Ethiopian enterprises to migrate from legacy Peachtree Accounting 2010 systems to modern ERPs by analyzing vendor options, identifying common implementation failures, and proposing a stratified, evidence-based framework and phased roadmap tailored to Ethiopia's unique regulatory, infrastructural, and financial realities.
Using panel data from 2000–2024 across seven East African Community countries, this study demonstrates that electricity access significantly enhances long-term agricultural productivity by enabling improved irrigation and mechanization, thereby positioning rural electrification as a critical strategy for achieving food security and climate adaptation in the region.
This study analyzes Moscow Exchange equities to demonstrate that while CatBoost offers the best statistical forecast accuracy, PatchTST delivers superior portfolio performance, and no model selection or regime-switching strategy can reliably overcome the fundamental disconnect between forecasting precision and cross-sectional ranking ability in emerging markets.
