The adoption of innovations to support technological transitions is widely recognized as a key strategic lever for maintaining competitiveness, but while many studies have explored the general determinants of innovation, less is known about the factors that foster the development of innovation...

The smooth functioning of the repo market is essential to financial stability. However, the market has faced repeated episodes of stress in recent years. This paper examines the resilience of the euro-denominated repo market during recent episodes of elevated financial stress, drawing on...

With growing consumer concerns about the environmental and social impacts of their purchases, some multinational corporations (MNCs) have begun publishing lists of their first-tier and other upstream suppliers with varying levels of detail and analysis in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)...

This paper reviews the theoretical and empirical foundations of peer and network effects, aiming to bridge insights from both literatures. We first analyze the microfoundations of peer effects through linear-quadratic network games, linking equilibrium behavior to network centrality and...

We conduct an artefactual field experiment in real-existing trade networks to analyze how individual network degree affects bargaining demands and outcomes. We combine data from a bilateral bargaining experiment with data of trade networks in 24 villages in Uganda. To identify the effect of...

Space-enabled technologies underpin communications, navigation, Earth observation, and critical infrastructure, but widely cited estimates of the space economy often rely on proprietary classifications or revenue tallies that abstract from production linkages. We develop a transparent,...

Despite the growing role of business incubators in fostering digital startups in emerging economies, the mechanism through which business incubator characteristics, specifically relational capital and structural embeddedness, influence startup innovation performance remains underexplored,...

Background: This study evaluates an additive manufacturing (AM) network designed to balance economic performance, lead time, and environmental impact within the healthcare logistics and supply chain. Methods: An integrated framework is proposed that identifies optimal AM facility locations using...

Background: The integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into warehouse management is shaped by a broad spectrum of influencing factors, yet practical adoption lagged behind its potential due to scarce quantitative models of factor interdependencies. Methods: This study systematically...

Since 2018, tariffs have re-emerged as a tool for protecting domestic economies, particularly in the US. This paper examines the macroeconomic and welfare effects of various import tariff scenarios using a four-region dynamic general equilibrium model with a multi-sectoral production network....

This paper examines whether multinational enterprises (MNEs) adapt to international anti–tax avoidance regulation by intensifying domestic profit shifting activities. We compile a novel dataset by mapping MNE ownership network structures that link international to sub-national tax haven...

The promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in residential energy is consumer empowerment, yet without appropriate governance the emerging reality may be its opposite. As households become data producers, behavioural subjects, and operational assets within intelligent electricity networks, a...

The UK has committed to ambitious targets for clean power. A key constraint in achieving these targets is how quickly renewable energy generators can connect to the transmission network. To address this, new policies (including CNDM, SSEP, and the CP30 Action Plan) are being introduced to reform...

Motivated by an increasing interest in the influence of corporate boards on environmental and societal organizational outcomes, this study aims to clarify the dynamic interplay among corporate network strategy, board social learning, and board structure in shaping corporate environmental and...

Across many countries, young adults face a persistent skills mismatch, with firms reporting difficulty finding candidates with adequate soft skills. In Rwanda, young women face particularly acute barriers to securing employment. This study evaluates a two-week intensive soft skills training...

I empirically measure the effectiveness of high-yielding variety (HYV) seeds and irrigation in adapting to climate-related agricultural productivity shocks using data on agriculture production from 1966 to 2011. I find that the usage of these additional inputs in production reduces the impact of...

The entrepreneurial performance of new ventures operating within the sustainable open innovation paradigm remains underexplored, particularly in terms of how specific sustainability-oriented practices translate into measurable performance outcomes. Prior research has largely examined...

We present a new dynamic model of corporate investment in imperfectly-competitive product markets, extending the neoclassical (Q) theory of capital to a multi-firm, multi-product, fully-structural model. Our model embeds a state-of-the-art hedonic demand system, endogenizes firms' markups and...

The essay examines the commercial and financial activities of Palla Strozzi, a Florentine merchant active in Lyon in the first half of the 16th century. A cousin of the leaders of the Florentine republican movement - the brothers Piero, Roberto and Leone Strozzi, allies of France against duke...

Global energy challenges have highlighted the importance of open innovation, which facilitates the development of efficient energy solutions through collaboration and knowledge sharing. However, owing to the increasing diversity of the energy open innovation ecosystem and the lack of...

In an increasingly interconnected global landscape, diaspora communities maintain complex transnational ties with their homelands, influencing local religious practices and institutions. This study examines how UK-Bangladesh diaspora connections shape religious identity formation and social...

Based on the network attention data of Douyin's fans, this article analyzes the spatial heterogeneity and driving factors of network attention to 5A-level tourist attractions in China using rank-size, kernel density, and nearest neighbor index. The results show that: (1) From the perspective of...
