Application of ANNs for predicting poverty levels with interval estimation: A case study of Odisha, India
Reconciling the climate finance, energy access, human capital, and institutional quality nexus for sustainable food security in South Asia
South Asia is home to 387 million severely food-insecure people, making it crucial to opt for sustainable solutions to ensure food security (FS), which aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 2.1. Thus, this study unveils whether agrifood climate finance (ACF) and access to electricity (ELC) help induce FS, considering six South Asian countries from 2000 to 2022 using the cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-AR…

What drives environmental sustainability? The role of renewable energy, green innovation, and political stability in OECD economies
One possible way to achieve environmental sustainability is by addressing the issue of rising CO2 emissions, which significantly cause climate change by intensifying the greenhouse gas effect. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which substantially contributes to global CO2 emissions, necessitates a paradigm shift towards using clean energy sources and promoting green innovations to ensure environmental sustainabilit…

One possible way to achieve sustainable economic growth is by limiting carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. The developing countries, in particular, which significantly contribute to global carbon dioxide emissions, need a paradigm shift towards sustainable production and consumption to achieve economic growth while ensuring environmental sustainability. This study thus analyzes the role of green technology innovation, green finance, renewable energ…
Decoupling the role of renewable energy, green finance and political stability in achieving the sustainable development goal 13: Empirical insight from emerging economies
The quest for attaining ‘sustainable development goals (SDGs)’, especially ‘SDG‐13’, which addresses the policy towards lessening the risk of climate change, is impossible without abating CO 2 emissions, which are a major contributor to climate change globally. Thus, this study inspects the decisive role played by renewable energy use, green finance, and political stability in achieving SDG‐13 by abating CO 2 emissions for 14 emerging economies f…
Towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7 in sub‐Saharan Africa: Role of governance and renewable energy
Energy poverty plagues the sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) region and impedes its socio‐economic development. It is impossible to attain sustainable‐development without alleviating energy‐poverty. In this study, we examine the role of governance and renewable‐energy in alleviating energy poverty for 22 SSA countries from 2000 to 2018 using system generalised method‐of‐moments and three‐stage least‐squares models.

Can’t stop thinking about Star Wars and The Office: Antecedents of retrospective imaginative involvement
Retrospective imaginative involvement (RII) is a concept that encapsulates how audiences reflect back on a narrative’s characters and events after the story has ended. The current study aims to explicate the antecedents of RII in order to provide initial steps toward creating a theory of RII. Through two studies, we tested the role of familiarity, traits (e.g., curiosity), entertainment experiences broadly (e.g., parasocial relationships), and co…

Dynamics of Income Inequality, Investment, and Unemployment in Indonesia
This paper examines the effect of per capita income, investment, and unemployment on income inequality in Indonesia from 2011 to 2019. We use both static and dynamic panel data approaches covering 34 provinces in Indonesia. The results support the Kuznets hypothesis, whereby a more significant per capita income growth is associated with more substantial income inequality in a short period; however, this decreases over time (sign change). Furtherm…
Impacts and implications of a pandemic on tourism demand in Indonesia
This paper estimates the economic losses in Indonesia's tourism sector due to the COVID-19 pandemic using an Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model (SARIMA). Additionally, an autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) is employed to estimate the demand for tourism in Indonesia from the six largest inbound tourist countries, from 1989 to 2019. The results predict a decrease of nearly 16.65 million tourists and a potential loss of US$19.07…
The Impact of Terrorist Attack News on Moral Intuitions
Previous research demonstrated that exposure to news of the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, France increased the salience of moral intuitions associated with respect for authority and purity in a sample of U.S. participants. The present study attempted to replicate this finding with news of domestic terrorism by examining the effect of exposure to news of the 2017 Las Vegas, Nevada music festival shooting. Approximately three weeks before the La…
Determinants of foreign exchange reserves in Brazil: An empirical investigation

Education, human error, and road crash risk: An empirical investigation in the Indian states
This study examines the road accident rates from 29 Indian states and 6 Union Territories during 2006–2015. In this paper, we have employed several empirical techniques such as regression, generalized method of moments (GMM), and threshold regression models to examine how education and attitude of the drivers impact the road accident rates. In our empirical analysis, we demonstrate that lawless driving is found to be positive and statistically si…
Interaction of real effective exchange rate with economic growth via openness of the economy: Empirical evidence from India
This paper examines the interaction between real effective exchange rate (REER) with select macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product (GDP), foreign direct investment, foreign institutional investors (FII), fiscal deficits, terms of trade, trade openness, and foreign exchange reserves from 1981–2017. Autoregressive distributed lag bounds test results confirm the existence of long‐run relationships among the considered variables. The …

Using Attribution Theory To Explain The Affective Dispositions Of Tireless Moral Monitors Toward Narrative Characters
Recent literature suggests that affective disposition theory (ADT) has difficulty explaining the appeal of protagonists that sometimes do bad things. We addressed this issue by integrating logic from attribution theory with ADT. Three studies examined whether causal factors identified in attribution theory’s covariation model (consensus, distinctiveness, and consistency) affected internal/external attributions (for a character’s harmful behavior)…
Identifying the causes of road traffic accidents in India: An empirical investigation
This study utilizes data for the period 2006–2015 to estimate the determinants of road fatality rates in the Indian states. We employ baseline regression, where the total traffic fatalities, total traffic injuries, rural road fatalities, and urban road fatalities are the functions of human errors in driving, weather conditions, and some control variables. This paper is exclusively focussed upon different sets of human‐driven factors in influencin…
Effect of foreign direct investment, remittances, and foreign aid on economic growth: Evidence from two emerging South Asian economies
This paper analyzes the effect of foreign direct investment, remittances, and official development assistance on economic growth in India and Sri Lanka. The study uses annual time series data of both countries for the period 1980–2016. In order to find the short‐run and long‐run relationship among the variables, we use Granger causality test and vector error correction model. We also carry out a vector decomposition analysis to predict the foreca…
