The European Union (EU) promotes collaboration across functions and borders in its funded innovation projects, which are seen as complex collaboration to co-create knowledge. This requires the engagement of multiple stakeholders throughout the duration of the project. To probe complexity in...

Our research advances the hypothesis and empirically establishes that a higher incidence of solar eclipses is associated with higher social complexity and complex thinking in premodern societies. We construct a novel dataset of solar eclipses' incidence at the ethnic-group level, bringing...

This paper provides evidence that network complexity limits investors' ability to process non-local information, through the lens of return cross predictability. Using firm-to-firm citation networks, we find that the non-local indirectly-linked firms can well predict the return of the focal...

Using tweets from StockTwits and machine-learning classification techniques, we find that social-media sentiment predicts positively and significantly future stock returns, and, importantly, such positive predictability decreases when the number of stocks users follow increases. The return...

Whether it is a financial institution like Wells Fargo, an automotive company like General Motors, a transportation company like Uber, or a religious organization like the Catholic Church, failing to properly prevent, detect, investigate, and remediate misconduct within an organization's ranks...

The relationship between corporate law and corporate practice is complex. So too is the relationship between the different types of corporate law rules — from primary and delegated legislation, through listing rules and ASIC orders to corporate constitutions. Corporate lawyers tend to respond...

A novel cerium(III) complex [Ce(Fcterpy)(NO 3 ) 3 (H 2 O)]·DEE ( 1 ) (DEE = diethylether) bearing a substituted terpyridine ligand 4′-ferrocenyl-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (Fcterpy) has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Magnetic measurements...

Five new coordination polymers, {[Co2(μ-dmg)2(μ-p-tmbix)2]·H2On (1), [Co2(μ-dmg)2(μ-p-tmbix)2]n (2), [Zn2(μ-dmg)2(μ-p-tmbix)2]n (3), [Cd2(μ-dmg)2(μ-p-tmbix)2]n (4) and [Cd(μ-dmg)(μ-p-tmbix)]×H2O}n (5) were successfully synthesized by using H2dmg and p-tmbix ligands under hydrothermal...

Over the past decades, research effort in high income countries has substantially increased. Meanwhile, the growth rates of per capita output have been rather stable. The first goal of this paper is to investigate the reasons for such trends. The second goal of the paper is to show that the...

A series of new lanthanide complexes [LnCl 3 . xH 2 O:(L) 3 ] (where; L = curcumin pyrazole and Ln = Pr 3+ , Nd 3+ , Eu 3+ and Gd 3+ have been synthesized in ethanol under reflux conditions for 24 h. The synthesized complexes were characterised by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis, fluorescence and...
