Political views regarding the war in Ukraine in an online dating experiment</title> <summary type="xhtml"> Political views affect various behaviors, including relationship formation. This study conducts a field experiment on a large Russian dating site and gathers data from over 3,000 profile evaluations. The findings reveal significant penalties for those who express pro-war or anti-war positions on their dating profiles. Age emerges as the most polarizing factor: younger individuals are less likely to approach pro-war profiles but not anti-war ones, whereas older individuals are less likely to respond positively to profiles indicating anti-war views but not pro-war ones. The results align with survey evidence of a positive relationship between respondents' age and expressed support for the war in Russia, although the experiment indicates a higher degree of polarization. Overall, the experimental findings demonstrate that survey data can reveal trends and relationships between individuals' characteristics and their opinions, but may overstate the levels of support for government agendas in non-democratic states. </summary> <author> <name>Anna Beloborodova</name> <email>beloborodovaa45@gmail.com</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/123968/Atom/mpra-eprint-123968.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123968" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123968/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123968/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123968" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-15T12:17:23Z</published> <updated>2025-03-16T06:40:44Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123968</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123968" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123968 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

Stock trading often involves high uncertainty due to unpredictability arising from various unpredictable market conditions. Therefore, developing models to predict stock trends has been an important research concern. As a part of the data-driven approach, this predominantly focuses on predictive analytics, the analysis of multimedia financial data in quantitative terms. Market data metrics like opening price, highest price, lowest stock price, and closing price represent the daily activities of a particular stock traded in a particular stock trading, request data with the self-explanation of these terminologies. It is known that history tends to repeat itself. Similarly, the stock market works in a means of cycle, where it creates some repetitive patterns over time. Professional traders in the stock trading industry believe that when these patterns are observed, the stock trend is predicted. </summary> <author> <name>Constantinos Challoumis</name> <email>challoumis_constantinos@yahoo.com</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/123877/Atom/mpra-eprint-123877.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123877" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123877/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123877/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123877" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-15T08:03:31Z</published> <updated>2025-03-15T08:03:32Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123877</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123877" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123877 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

The model predicts that knowledge spillovers from the frontier enhance the relative levels of productivity and income of the laggards, but materialise only if the gap in capital intensity between the frontier and lagging economies is not too wide. We bring the model to the data and, for a global sample of countries, observe that relative capital does mostly shape their growth pattern, in line with the predictions of our theory. We also document that differentials in income growth are driven by the gaps in capital intensity with respect to the frontier economy (the United States) only below an identified threshold. This effect is independent of knowledge inputs such as human capital and innovation. Our findings suggest that the absorption of knowledge through learning processes and embodied technological change remains a crucial driver of income growth for a significant number of lagging economies worldwide. </summary> <author> <name>Carmelo Pierpaolo Parello</name> <email/> </author> <author> <name>Francesco Venturini</name> <email>francesco.venturini@uniurb.it</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/123852/Atom/mpra-eprint-123852.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123852" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123852/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123852/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123852" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-15T08:03:06Z</published> <updated>2025-03-15T08:03:07Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123852</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123852" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123852 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

In this article, I propose an additional role of NCAs in startups as a potential countermeasure to acquihiring by developing a model of labor market competition between a potential acquirer and a startup. In the model, the potential acquirer has two options to hire the startup's employee, direct hiring (poaching) and acquihiring — the acquisition of a company to hire its talented employees. NCAs may either induce or prevent acquihiring by affecting the profitability from each hiring strategy for the potential acquirer. I identify the conditions under which NCAs prevent acquihiring and demonstrate that stricter NCA regulation may distort worker allocation and/or reduce worker welfare. This result indicates that, in the context of high-tech industries where acquihiring is relatively prevalent, increased regulation of NCAs could weaken startups, facilitate acquihiring by Big Tech firms, and ultimately reinforce their market power. </summary> <author> <name>Kyogo Tsubuteishi</name> <email>kyogo0517md@gmail.com</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/123837/Atom/mpra-eprint-123837.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123837" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123837/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123837/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123837" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-15T08:02:40Z</published> <updated>2025-03-15T08:02:41Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123837</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123837" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123837 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

Existing interventions have saturated the microcredit market without generating proportional employment or income gains, primarily due to the structural mismatch between rigid, fixed-installment loan products and the fluctuating cashflows of small enterprises. This paper critiques the current MSME financing architecture, analyzing the limited employment impact of microfinance loans and the rising delinquency rates. It then proposes an alternative model of cashflow-based credit, wherein repayment obligations dynamically adjust to enterprise revenues, reducing default risk while supporting sustainable growth. Drawing on action research pilots and policy experiments in India, we outline the design of scalable, risk-mitigated cashflow financing instruments, including revenue-linked repayments and micro-equity components, tailored to the realities of small business operations. We estimate that such reforms could unlock ₹15 lakh crore in responsible credit and facilitate 10 crore jobs without imposing fiscal burdens on the government. </summary> <author> <name>Vijay Mahajan</name> <email>vijaymahajan54@gmail.com</email> </author> <author> <name>Pranay Bhargava</name> <email>pranay.bhargava@gmail.com</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/123782/Atom/mpra-eprint-123782.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123782" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123782/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123782/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123782" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-15T08:01:14Z</published> <updated>2025-03-15T08:01:15Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123782</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123782" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123782 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

Evidence from Firm and Country ‎level Panel data</title> <summary type="xhtml"> Purpose: This paper investigates the long-run (LR) and the short-run (SR) sensitivity of firm ‎efficiency (FE) with respect to the aggregate level of the information and communications ‎technology (ICT) investment in the BRICS area, while the firm conditions and the ‎macroeconomic environment are recognized as control factors influencing efficiency. Using a ‎sample of 316 FinTech firms during 2014-2022 covering the Covid 19 outbreak event, the ‎stability linkage between the FE and the ICT is checked vis à vis the Covid 19 outbreak. ‎ Design/methodology/approach: Two models are considered. The first is the LR dynamic fixed ‎effect models for firm level panel data estimated by the one-step system GMM. The second is the ‎‎(LR and SR) dynamic ARDL models for country level panel data estimated by PMG. ‎ Findings: The SR effect of ICT pre Covid is positive for all countries except for Brazil, while ‎post Covid period, the SR effect is negative (positive) for China (SA). The LR effect is positive ‎for the BRICS area and for each country pre Covid 19, while post Covid 19 period the LR effect ‎is negative for Brazil and India (with no significant effect in China and SA). In addition, in the ‎LR, the FBS is found to be the more influencing component on the FE (followed respectively by ‎IUI and MCS) for all countries even post Covid outbreak. The ICT negative effect post Covid in ‎China is driven by IUI and MCS, while the positive effect in SA is driven by MCS.‎ Originality: The novelty of this research is based on the idea of studying the effect of the ‎aggregate ICT on FE by using several dynamic approaches so that we can estimate the SR ‎adjustments to the LR relationship that arise from the impact of ICT pre and post the Covid ‎outbreak.‎ </summary> <author> <name>MALIKA NEIFAR</name> <email>mneifar68@gmail.com</email> </author> <author> <name>Imen Germazi</name> <email>imeneguermazi@yahoo.fr</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/123966/Atom/mpra-eprint-123966.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123966" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123966/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123966/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123966" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-15T02:21:48Z</published> <updated>2025-03-15T02:21:49Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123966</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123966" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123966 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

This study examines AI's influence on employment and wages within the ASEAN region, using a patent-based measure of AI exposure. Findings indicate that while AI generally displaces jobs, the impact varies by country. Most ASEAN countries experienced a reinstatement effect, except Indonesia and Thailand where displacement occurred. Singapore showed a complementarity effect. Education emerges as a key policy tool to counteract AI's negative labour market impacts, encouraging job complementarity. </summary> <author> <name>King Fuei Lee</name> <email>king.lee@schroders.com</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/123711/Atom/mpra-eprint-123711.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123711" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123711/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123711/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123711" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-14T08:48:22Z</published> <updated>2025-03-14T08:48:23Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123711</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123711" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123711 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

However, quantitative analysis regarding its fiscal effects is still in its infancy. Thus, this study examines the impact of accrual accounting on municipally controlled enterprises, with specific focus on the Japanese municipal sewage system. For this purpose, it employs a combination of instrumental variables as well as stochastic frontier analysis to quantitatively determine the fiscal effects from the perspective of cost efficiency. Based on the results, the transition from cash- to accrual-based accounting has led to improvements in overall cost efficiency. These findings also provide new quantitative evidence for future discussions on fiscal discipline, which is a key area in the field of public economics. </summary> <author> <name>Akinobu Ogawa</name> <email>ogawa@econ.niigata-u.ac.jp</email> </author> <author> <name>Haruo Kondoh</name> <email>kondoh@seinan-gu.ac.jp</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/122629/Atom/mpra-eprint-122629.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122629" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122629/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122629/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122629" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-14T08:47:06Z</published> <updated>2025-03-14T08:47:07Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122629</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122629" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122629 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

We conduct a systematic meta-analysis building on 83 studies that experimentally vary migrant characteristics to assess attitudes towards migrants. The study has several findings: a) sociotropic concerns play a key role: individuals are more welcoming towards migrants that contribute to the economy through their professional occupation, education or language skills; this evidence is particularly strong in developed countries compared to developing countries, b) there is no evidence hosts evaluate migrants through the lens of egocentric economic concerns, c) cultural concerns are important; in particular a persistent anti-Muslim bias; d) humanitarian concerns also shape attitudes toward migrants; particularly towards those that are forcefully displaced in contrast to economic migrants. </summary> <author> <name>Sigrid Weber</name> <email>sigweber@stanford.edu</email> </author> <author> <name>Nik Stoop</name> <email>nik.stoop@uantwerp.be</email> </author> <author> <name>Peter Van der Windt</name> <email>petervanderwindt@nyu.edu</email> </author> <author> <name>Haoyu Zhai</name> <email>hz3803@nyu.edu</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/122628/Atom/mpra-eprint-122628.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122628" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122628/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122628/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122628" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-14T08:46:42Z</published> <updated>2025-03-14T08:46:43Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122628</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122628" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/122628 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

The impact of Dodd-Frank in the DRC</title> <summary type="xhtml"> The Dodd Frank Act was passed by the US Congress in July 2010 and included a provision-Section 1502-that aimed to break the link between conflict and minerals in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. To date there is only one rigorous quantitative analysis that investigates the impact of Dodd-Frank on local conflict events. Looking at the short-term impact (2011-2012), it finds that the policy backfired. This study builds on a larger, more representative, dataset of mining sites and extends the time horizon by three years (2013-2015). The results indicate that the policy also backfired in the longer run, especially in areas home to gold mines. For territories with the average number of gold mines, the introduction of Dodd-Frank increased the incidence of battles with 44%; looting with 51% and violence against civilians with 28%, compared to pre Dodd Frank averages. Delving deeper into the impact of the conflict minerals legislation is important, as President Trump suspended the legislation in February 2017 for a two-year period, ordering his administration to replace it with another policy. </summary> <author> <name>Nik Stoop</name> <email>nik.stoop@uantwerp.be</email> </author> <author> <name>Marijke Verpoorten</name> <email>marijke.verpoorten@uantwerp.be</email> </author> <author> <name>Peter Van der Windt</name> <email>petervanderwindt@nyu.edu</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/123957/Atom/mpra-eprint-123957.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123957" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123957/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123957/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123957" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-14T08:32:26Z</published> <updated>2025-03-14T08:32:27Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123957</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123957" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123957 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

The system works on automatically extracting and aggregating normalized competencies out of multiple documents like policy files and curricula vitae and making strong relationships between recognized competencies, occupation profiles, and related learning courses. To validate its performance, we conducted a multi-tier evaluation that included both explicit and implicit skill references in synthetic and real-world documents. The results showed near-human-level accuracy, with F1 scores exceeding 0.95 for explicit skill detection and above 0.93 for implicit mentions. The system thereby establishes a sound foundation for supporting in-depth collaboration across the AE4RIA network. The methodology involves a multiple-stage pipeline based on extensive preprocessing and data cleaning, semantic embedding and segmentation via SentenceTransformer, and skill extraction using a FAISS-based search method. The extracted skills are associated with occupation frameworks as formulated in 1 the ESCO ontology and learning paths as training programs in the Sustainable Development Goals Academy. Moreover, interactive visualization software, implemented based on Dash and Plotly, presents interactive graphs and tables for real-time exploration and informed decision-making for involved parties in policymaking, training and learning supply, career transitions, and recruitment opportunities. Overall, the system outlined in this paper—supported by rigorous validation—presents promising prospects for better policy-making, human resource improvement, and lifelong learning based on providing structured and actionable insights out of raw, complex textual information. </summary> <author> <name>Phoebe Koundouri</name> <email>pkoundouri@aueb.gr</email> </author> <author> <name>Conrad Landis</name> <email>conrad.landis@aueb.gr</email> </author> <author> <name>Georgios Feretzakis</name> <email>gferetzakis@aueb.gr</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/123930/Atom/mpra-eprint-123930.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123930" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123930/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123930/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123930" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-14T08:25:19Z</published> <updated>2025-03-14T08:25:20Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123930</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123930" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123930 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

Finally, it concludes by suggesting that, while progress has been made, there is a need for further alignment and refinement of these frameworks to ensure that they drive meaningful corporate action and policy development towards achieving the transformation to sustainability. </summary> <author> <name>Phoebe Koundouri</name> <email>pkoundouri@aueb.gr</email> </author> <author> <name>Conrad Felix Michel Landis</name> <email>conrad@aueb.gr</email> </author> <author> <name>Konstantinos Dellis</name> <email>kdellis@aueb.gr</email> </author> <author> <name>Angelos Plataniotis</name> <email>angplat@athenarc.gr</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/123919/Atom/mpra-eprint-123919.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123919" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123919/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123919/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123919" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-14T08:24:35Z</published> <updated>2025-03-14T08:24:36Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123919</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123919" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123919 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

We use household-level panel data from 2015 to 2019, along with district-level precipitation data. A difference-in-differences (DiD) model is proposed to compare households affected by the phenomenon with those that were not affected. The results show that the 2017 El Niño phenomenon had a negative effect on per capita expenditures on health and education for the affected rural households, possibly driven by a negative shock to agricultural income. Consequently, the findings suggest that individuals in affected households have reduced access to the benefits of acquiring health and education services, increasing their vulnerability to health risks and cognitive skill development challenges. </summary> <author> <name>Raul Malpartida</name> <email>raul.malpartida@alum.udep.edu.pe</email> </author> <author> <name>Martin Guembes</name> <email>martin.guembes@alum.udep.edu.pe</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/123894/Atom/mpra-eprint-123894.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123894" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123894/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123894/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123894" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-14T08:07:50Z</published> <updated>2025-03-14T11:39:50Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123894</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123894" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123894 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

Revisiting the Polanyi-Schumpeter theoretical framework, entrepreneurship embedded in social relations interlinked by trust is a dynamo of sustainable socioeconomic progress. The institutionalised trust, however, was not clarified. With micro-individual data from the Chinese General Social Survey 2011–2021, our research employs the instrumental variable approach rooted in historical rice farming to tackle endogeneity. The results demonstrate that social trust elevates entrepreneurial engagement by 32.65 and 10.37 percentage points in self-employment and business incorporation, respectively. Increased trust paradoxically hampers self-employment in the central due to insular networks and structural disparities. The findings uncover the nuanced role of social trust in facilitating and constraining entrepreneurship with contextually regional determinants. The research contributes to knowledge and evidence of institutional endowments that mediate entrepreneurial agency and argues for synchronising formal and informal institutions in development. </summary> <author> <name>Tao Louie Xu</name> <email>s2475073@ed.ac.uk</email> </author> <author> <name>Weiwei Zhu</name> <email>weiwei.zhu@hnu.edu.cn</email> </author> </entry> <entry> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/cgi/export/eprint/123910/Atom/mpra-eprint-123910.xml" rel="self"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123910" rel="edit"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123910/contents" rel="edit-media"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123910/contents" rel="contents"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123910" rel="alternate"/> <published>2025-03-14T08:07:23Z</published> <updated>2025-03-14T08:07:25Z</updated> <id>https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123910</id> <category scheme="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/data/eprint/type" label="MPRA Paper" term="paper"/> <category scheme="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status" label="Live Archive" term="archive"/> <link href="https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123910" rel="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/statement"/> <sword:state href="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0/eprint/eprint_status/archive"/> <sword:stateDescription>This item is in the repository with the URL: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/id/eprint/123910 If you want to update or delete an item, please select "Actions."

Traditional methods for visualizing correlation matrices often rely on heuristic color schemes, which lack a robust analytical foundation. To address this limitation, we propose a method that constructs and analyzes an ordered sequence of so called momentums, separating positive and negative correlations based on their significance. By leveraging mathematical principles of an optimal solutions, this approach enhances the clarity and interpretability of correlation patterns. </summary> <author> <name>Joseph Mullat</name> <email>mjoosep@gmail.com</email> </author> </entry> </feed>
