This study analyzes the determinants of street food consumption in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo, using a logit model on 409 respondents to identify key factors such as meal type, age, and infrastructure, ultimately recommending regulatory improvements for hygiene and price reductions to encourage home cooking.
This paper introduces a tractable mine-level reserve frontier that demonstrates how optimal cut-off grade and capacity decisions are jointly determined by the interplay of sequencing constraints, discounting, and blending, thereby revealing that mineral reserves are endogenous economic stocks rather than fixed geological inputs.
This paper argues that inefficient federal bailouts are primarily caused by budget pooling mechanisms, rather than the soft budget constraints or intertemporal inconsistency typically cited in the literature.
This paper demonstrates that in a heterogeneous-agent asset market, increasing social interaction intensity triggers a nonlinear transition from dispersed coordination to synchronized instability, where the resulting surge in volatility and mispricing overwhelms market-making capacity regardless of market depth.
This paper utilizes England's 2022 Full Dispersal mandate to demonstrate that while voluntary refugee placement correlates with higher STI detection due to pre-existing selection biases, the mandatory dispersal of asylum seekers does not lead to a statistically significant increase in sexually transmitted infection transmission within host communities.
This paper analyzes Italian data from 1951 to 1991 to demonstrate that the effectiveness of formal childcare in increasing female labor force participation depends on household organization, significantly boosting employment in industrial and service sectors while having no systematic impact in family-based agricultural settings.
Using a panel dataset of 58 countries from 2000 to 2021, this study finds that R&D expenditure is the most robust determinant of patent activity, while per capita income shows a positive association and other factors like education and government effectiveness yield inconclusive results.
This paper proposes a neutrosophic two-warehouse inventory model that integrates green technology, preservation investment, and trade-credit facilities under inflation to minimize total average costs, providing optimal solutions and managerial insights through numerical examples and sensitivity analysis.
A multinational randomized controlled trial reveals that aviation passengers across the US, Switzerland, and China consistently prefer paying higher ticket prices over reducing their flight frequency, driven primarily by personal fairness concerns rather than group-level equity, thereby posing a significant political challenge for demand-restraint decarbonisation policies.
This study proposes and validates a scalable methodology that combines multilingual NLP keyword extraction with Google Trends data to assess stakeholder interest in Basel Pillar 3 disclosures across the Visegrad Four countries, offering a practical alternative to traditional web log file analysis.
