Using the panel data of 66 countries for the period 1996-2019, the current research explores the influences of information and communication technology (ICT) on energy security. We consider the role of financial development, human capital and technological development to explore the channels...

The spillover effect is a significant factor impacting the volatility of commodity prices. Unlike earlier studies, this research uses a relatively recent estimation technique such as rolling window-based Quantile VAR (QVAR) advanced by Ando et al. (2018) to describe the conditional volatility...

This research expands the cash-cash flow sensitivity model and examines the effect and mechanism of SCF on alleviating the financial constraints of 740 firms listed in the SME Boards and Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) of Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges from 2010 to 2017. The results show...

Recent research shows that time-varying volatility plays a crucial role in nonlinear modeling. Contributing to this literature, we suggest a DSGE-GARCH approach that allows for straightforward computation of DSGE models with time-varying volatility, where the volatility component is formulated...

Climate change has been a concern for governments and green groups around the world in recent years. This paper uses Dynamic Conditional Correlation with Mixed Data Sampling (DCC-MIDAS) model to analyze the four Standard & Poor's Indices representing green finance, green technology, clean energy...

In this paper, we demonstrate in a two-stage sequential game model that there exists an inverted U-shape relationship between FDI inflow and bilateral political relations. Employing the political relationship index (PRI) to test our theory using Chinese data from 2002 to 2016, we find that the...

Agricultural activities immensely contribute to methane (CH 4 ), nitrous oxide (N 2 O), and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. This study investigates the heterogeneous effect of agricultural activities on three major greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions (CO 2 , N 2 O, and CH 4 ) under the...

The paper applies the recently developed panel LM unit root tests with heterogeneous structural breaks by Im et al., [The Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, 2005] in order to re-examine the validity of mean reversion in the inflation rates of 19 OECD countries for the time period...
