We present improved out-of-sample predictability of future fund flows using state-of-the-art machine learning methods. Nonlinear machine learning models significantly outperform linear models in terms of out-of-sample R-squared. Using interpretable ML methods, we identify past flows and the...

We investigate whether satellite observations of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) - a short-lived pollutant primarily emitted by fossil fuel combustion - can improve the forecasting of oil demand. After retrieving, cleaning, and aggregating daily satellite data, we integrate NO₂ into a range of...

Entrepreneurship plays a significant role in the economic development of emerging economies, particularly by addressing persistent issues such as youth unemployment and growth challenges. Developing nations perceive their startup ecosystems as critical engines of economic progress. Policymakers...

Big data technologies have greatly enhanced the effectiveness of humanitarian logistics. However, most research in this area has focused on developed countries, with limited application to emerging economies. This study aims to address that gap by systematically reviewing global literature to...

The study aims to examine how technological leapfrogging, as a smart and sustainable adaptation strategy, influences organizational resilience in small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) of the developing economies. It also highlighted employees' digital capabilities as mediators...

This paper makes the case for measuring economic activity in real time in a middle-income setting using indicators alternative to the standard System of National Accounts measure of gross domestic product (GDP). GDP remains indispensable, yet its limits as a welfare proxy are amplified where...

Background: The primary objective of this study is to investigate the influence of big data analytics (BDA) on supply chain (SC) risk, SC ambidexterity, and SC resilience. It further examines the effects of SC risk and SC ambidexterity on SC resilience and explores their mediating roles in the...

Leveraging Wall Street Journal news, recent developments in textual analysis, and generative AI, we estimate a narrative decomposition of the dollar exchange rate. Our findings shed light on the connection between economic fundamentals and the exchange rate, as well as on its absence. From the...

This article estimates the subjective well‐being of the oasis, peripheral and border region of Drâa‐Tafilalet in Morocco through sentiment analysis of its media coverage. We extracted nearly 174,000 articles published between October 1991 and September 2020 from the website of a Moroccan...

Leveraging Wall Street Journal news, recent developments in textual analysis, and generative AI, we estimate a narrative decomposition of the dollar exchange rate. Our findings shed light on the connection between economic fundamentals and the exchange rate, as well as on its absence. From the...

IT governance is a framework that manages the efficient use of information technology within an organization, focusing on strategic alignment, risk management, resource management, performance measurement, compliance, and value delivery. This study investigates the role of IT governance in...

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the impact of big data disclosure on audit quality in the Omani context. Design/methodology/approach: This study used data extracted from annual reports for a sample from financial companies listed on the Muscat Stock Exchange over the period from 2014 to...

In comparison to numerous other ASEAN nations, Indonesia continues to be categorized as a country with a comparatively high number of fraud instances. To reduce future fraud cases, particularly in Indonesia, studies that keep concentrating on examining different aspects and techniques useful in...

Batteries are crucial for decarbonising energy storage and mitigating climate change. As the battery industry expands, it faces increasing complexity due to accelerated innovation cycles, rising competition, and growing technological diversity, emphasising the need for cost-effective strategic...

While big data analytics capabilities (BDAC) have been pivotal to retail companies, their effects on innovation capabilities and sustainable performance have not been investigated systematically thus far. Therefore, this study explores the influence of BDAC on the innovation capabilities and...

The financial sector faces mounting challenges in processing vast volumes of high-velocity data to support intelligent, real-time decision-making. Traditional machine learning models often fall short in accuracy, scalability, and responsiveness when dealing with large, dynamic financial...

This study investigates the direct and indirect relationship of big data analytics powered by artificial intelligence (BDA-AI) adoption on entrepreneurial resilience, with business model innovation serving as a mediator and technological turbulence as a moderator. Drawing on an integrated...
