The Impact of Child and Elderly Care on the Employment Participation of Rural Women: Evidence from Six Central Provinces in China

Using panel data from six central Chinese provinces, this study reveals that while child and elderly care burdens generally suppress rural women's overall employment, they paradoxically drive a shift toward non-agricultural work and inter-provincial migration as income-boosting strategies, with effects varying significantly by age, gender, and time period, thereby necessitating a "Trinity" policy framework of flexible local jobs, inclusive public services, and shared family responsibilities.

Industrial Park Land-Use Composition and Occupancy Performance: Explaining Nonlinear Determinants of Industrial Land Absorption in South Korea

This study utilizes interpretable machine learning on 1,161 South Korean industrial parks to demonstrate that non-linear thresholds in internal land-use composition, particularly the balance between industrial and public facility land, are more decisive for occupancy performance than broad locational factors, thereby advocating for a policy shift from land expansion to targeted functional rebalancing.

Does the level of financial development matter for the fiscal response? A PSTR Approach for EU Countries

This paper employs a Panel Smooth Transition Regression model on EU countries from 2000 to 2019 to demonstrate that the level of financial development significantly shapes fiscal policy, where low development regimes tend to support debt sustainability and pro-cyclical output, while high development regimes often lead to debt unsustainability and counter-cyclical behavior.

Financial markets are betting on failure of the Paris Agreement

The paper reveals that financial markets are pricing in significantly higher oil reserve values than climate mitigation scenarios allow, creating a $46.2 trillion valuation gap by 2034 concentrated in state-owned entities of six nations, which poses a severe risk of sovereign debt crises if oil-dependent economies fail to diversify.
