This study examines how soft skills education performatively shapes business realities across cultural boundaries. While prior research has treated soft skills as static capabilities, we demonstrate their role as performative forces actively reshaping organizational practices. Through in-depth...

We develop a general equilibrium framework in which a commercial banker, constrained by capital adequacy requirements, creates a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to hold securitized assets off its balance sheet. By operating the bank and SPV as separate entities, the banker circumvents regulation,...

We derive an admissible parameter space for vector Multiplicative Error Models (vMEMs), explicitly formulating it in terms of the model's matrix parameters through a set of matrix inequalities. Another key contribution is the adoption of constrained maximum likelihood estimation for the...

This paper evaluates an Adaptive LASSO-MGARCH model for multivariate volatility forecasting, with an application to green and conventional bonds, equities, energy commodities, and EU carbon allowances. By introducing coefficient-specific adaptive penalisation directly into the multivariate GARCH...

Experiment participants in a social dilemma game choose cooperation over defection, even though neither is more beneficial. High levels of cooperation cannot be explained by favorable labels for actions, collusion, k-level reasoning, quantal response behavior, or misplaced optimism about others'...

We build an endogenous growth model that distinguishes productive and welfare government expenditures and embeds fiscal externalities. The model yields three testable hypotheses: (i) productive expenditure raises growth (Barro effect); (ii) productive expenditure generates cross-country...
