This paper argues that evaluating state autonomy requires a function-level analysis of international organizations rather than a binary view of membership, demonstrating through the U.S. withdrawal from the WHO that exiting an institution can paradoxically reduce practical autonomy by forfeiting valuable technical options and increasing operational costs.
This mixed-methods study identifies the "Human Capital Execution Gap" as a critical barrier to Liberia's development and proposes the CEPRES National Transformation Engine (CNTE) as an integrated managerial framework to bridge the divide between human capital formation and measurable national outcomes by addressing systemic implementation failures.
This study demonstrates that in Indonesian Islamic boarding schools, digital payment systems enhance students' financial discipline both directly and indirectly by strengthening self-regulation, highlighting the role of institutional context in shaping the behavioral outcomes of cashless governance.
This paper utilizes an agent-based model to demonstrate that while extractive characters may boost short-term economic performance by eliminating low-productivity agents, they ultimately undermine long-term economic inclusiveness in decentralized markets, highlighting the critical need for generative characters to sustain collective prosperity.
This paper proposes a model-agnostic regime-aware decision calibration layer that dynamically adjusts trading thresholds based on detected market states, significantly enhancing performance across diverse deep learning models by leveraging market regime information as a distinct mechanism complementary to probability calibration.
This paper employs a maximum-entropy framework and Bayesian estimation on U.S. industry data from 1962 to 2024 to demonstrate that while long-run profitability has declined, profit-rate equalization has increased, leaving limited scope for further gains from capital reallocation in recent decades.
This study analyzes the 2020 Somaliland Demographic and Health Survey data to reveal that household electricity access is low (29%) and significantly influenced by wealth, household size, media exposure, and geographic location, with rural and nomadic populations facing the greatest disparities.
This theory-driven systematic literature review of 59 Scopus-indexed articles challenges the traditional Human Capital Theory by introducing the "Human Capital Paradox" framework, which explains how rapid digital transformation and technological advancements have created a complex skill mismatch leading to widespread underemployment despite high educational attainment.
This study addresses growth-based benchmarking bias in public services by introducing a time-comparable efficiency framework that distinguishes between productivity growth and stable performance levels, revealing that rapid growth often masks low baselines while identifying four distinct, context-sensitive pathways to sustained high efficiency in China's provincial fitness services.
This study analyzes monthly trade data from 2011 to 2024 to reveal a significant asymmetry in India-Myanmar trade relations, where Myanmar exhibits high and volatile dependence on India marked by two structural breaks, while India's trade remains stable and largely unaffected by Myanmar, highlighting Myanmar's economic vulnerability and the urgent need for trade diversification.
