Aligning urban freight efficiency and sustainability
Urban freight systems are essential to economic activity but generate significant environmental, spatial, and social pressures, particularly in rapidly growing cities. This study analyses the restructuring of urban freight transport in Sfax, Tunisia—an industrial and commercial hub facing rising congestion, logistical inefficiencies, and environmental stress. It develops an integrated analytical framework combining Multilayer Perceptron neural ne…
Data-Driven Optimisation of Urban Freight Transport Using the Six Sigma DMAIC Methodology
Urban freight transport systems are increasingly recognised as a critical factor in metropolitan sustainability. In the case of Sfax, Tunisia’s second-largest city, persistent congestion, logistical inefficiencies and environmental pressures have severely constrained urban mobility and competitiveness. This paper therefore proposes a strategic framework for optimising urban freight transport by integrating the Six Sigma methodology within the urb…
Enhancing Export Competitiveness of SMEs in Sfax
The competitiveness of firms is a subject that is frequently discussed these days by managers, lawmakers, and academics. Even though the idea of competition may seem straightforward, it is frequently used in a variety of dubious contexts. Although the definition of competition might appear basic, there are many skeptical applications of this idea. In order to increase the position of small and medium‐sized exporting enterprises (SMEs) in Sfax, th…
Productive Efficiency in the Banking Sector
This study examines the influence of bank-specific characteristics, market structure, and macroeconomic indicators on productive efficiency within the Tunisian banking sector over the period 2007–2023. To this end, we employ an extended version of the Stochastic Frontier Approach (SFA) that incorporates a bank-specific truncation parameter. Two key findings emerge from the analysis. First, a greater emphasis on credit activity relative to other o…
Sustainable Urban Freight Optimization for Isobenefit Cities
Urban logistics serves as a cornerstone for efficient freight transport and sustainable city development, particularly in contexts challenged by congestion and environmental pressures. This research examines the restructuring of the urban logistics system in Sfax, Tunisia—an expanding industrial and economic center increasingly burdened by traffic congestion. Through a comprehensive analytical framework, the study identifies the primary determina…
Bridging the digital divide
The mediating role of big five traits and self-efficacy on the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial behavior
Basel Regulations and Banks’ Risk-efficiency Nexus
This study is designed to investigate the causality links binding the risk and efficiency factors within both of the Islamic and conventional banks contexts, highlighting the effect of regulatory standards and protocols. Relying on previously elaborated theoretical priors guidelines, a particular set of five regulatory tools has been considered, namely, capital requirement, official supervisory power, bank activities associated restrictions, depo…
Shadow Economy, Corruption, and Economic Growth
There is considerable debate over the effects of both corruption and shadow economy on growth, but few studies have considered how the interaction between them might affect economic growth. We study how corruption levels in public administration affect economic growth and how this effect depends on the shadow economy. Using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), fixed effects, and system generalized method of moments (GMM) on a dataset of 34 OECD countrie…
Commercialisation de la microfinance
Nous cherchons à déterminer si la commercialisation des IMF est associée à la « dérive de mission ». Plus précisément, en considérant que la commercialisation se caractérise par la viabilité, la concurrence, et la réglementation des IMF, nous évaluons son effet sur la taille moyenne des prêts accordés. L'étude empirique est basée sur les données en panel de 96 IMF œuvrant dans 22 pays africains durant la période 2005–2008, et aussi sur la méthode…
