Moving Targets: Regulatory Uncertainty and Agri-Food Trade. A Structural Gravity Model of EU Pesticide Maximum Residue Limits

This paper utilizes a structural gravity model to demonstrate that regulatory uncertainty regarding EU pesticide maximum residue limits significantly reduces agri-food trade, particularly by hindering market entry for developing exporters and perishable goods, thereby highlighting that the predictability of food-safety regulations is as critical as their stringency.

AI-Driven Retail Trading and the Institutional Complementarity Trap: Why China's Market Reform Requires Simultaneous, Not Delayed, Change

This paper employs a five-population asymmetric evolutionary game to demonstrate that China's stock market modernization requires simultaneous, rather than delayed, reform of T+1 settlement, price limits, and short-selling constraints, as AI-driven retail trading can inadvertently lock the market into a transient but persistent instability that only a comprehensive, three-gate policy intervention can overcome.

Beyond Geopolitical Shocks: How Institutional Quality and Ownership Structure Heterogeneity Shape Nonlinear Banking Resilience in MENA

This study reveals that while geopolitical tensions initially undermine banking resilience in MENA countries, this negative impact follows a nonlinear pattern that is significantly mitigated by high institutional quality and diverse ownership structures, as evidenced by robust dynamic system GMM estimations across 112 banks from 2007 to 2024.

International Public Sector Accounting Standards Adoption and Financial Reporting Quality in Fragile States: Evidence from Somalia’s Public Sector

This study utilizes survey data from Somalia's public sector to demonstrate that while political support and resource availability significantly enhance financial reporting quality, institutional capacity may initially cause disruption and technical training shows no direct impact, all within a framework of "profound decoupling" that explains the gap between formal IPSAS compliance and operational reality in fragile states.

A CRITIC-Weighted Fuzzy-TOPSIS and Machine Learning Framework for Evaluating Corporate Governance Efficiency: Evidence from Construction Materials Manufacturing in Uzbekistan

This study introduces a hybrid CRITIC-Fuzzy-TOPSIS and machine learning framework to evaluate corporate governance in Uzbekistan's construction materials sector, revealing a paradox where expert-perceived governance priorities differ from financial drivers, with relational factors like stakeholder relations proving more critical to profitability than structural dimensions.
