The basic objective of this investigation is to explore the impactof a novel gravitational modification, specifically, the$f(\mathcal{G}, \mathbf{T}^2)$ (where $\mathcal{G}:=\mathbf{R}^{2}+R_{\alpha\beta\sigma\varsigma}R^{\alpha\beta\sigma\varsigma}-4R_{\alpha\beta}R^{\alpha\beta}$and...

A systematic literature review is used to explore the relationship between complexity theory and economics. Broad search terms identify an unmanageable large number of hits. A more focused search strategy follows the PRISMA protocol and screens for Economics branded publications, and with key...

The article examines how local governments’ procurement complexity and structure interact to influence e-procurement adoption. Drawing on the survey data of over 400 cities, we find that a centralized structure enhances the likelihood that local governments adopt an e-procurement system to...

We investigate the performance of non-linear return prediction models in the high complexity regime, i.e., when the number of model parameters exceeds the number of observations. We document a "virtue of complexity" in all asset classes that we study (US equities, international equities, bonds,...

We study how a firm’s bond structure affects the pricing of its bonds and its base of bond investors. We define bond complexity as the tangle of contractual terms of all outstanding bonds of a firm, and find that it increases bond yield spreads. Specifically, a 1-standard deviation higher...

Background: Knowledge transfer has been an important aspect in supply chain systems; however, there are many factors that affect the impact of transfer effectiveness. In previous studies, less attention has been given to the process of knowledge transfer and therefore, this paper highlights the...

This research identifies 18 main project complexity factors affecting defence projects and four new factors to the literature. Many interdependencies among the factors were identified, suggesting they form a contextualised project complexity network capable of creating emerging behaviours that...

This study aims to investigate the relationship between scope creep and the success of construction projects in the presence of project complexity. This study employed a positivism approach. Therefore, a survey method is used to collect data from 327 Pakistan's construction industry...
