ARE INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL AND ITS COMPONENTS AFFECTIVE ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE?

The factors that affect intellectual capital creation at firms and how these factors influence the financial performance of firms have been core questions of extant work in the channels of finance for many years. In this period, therefore, the efforts that firms make to increase their intellectual capital to create value and studies that examine the impact of the increased intellectual capital on the firm’s financial performance are notable. Thus, this study aims to explore the influence of intellectual capital and its components on the financial performance of the BIST Sustainability Index companies for the period between 2018:Q4-2024:Q1. A set of Intellectual Value Added Coefficient (VAIC) and its components Human Capital Efficiency (HCE), Structural Capital Efficiency (SCE), and Capital Employed Efficiency (CEE) are employed as indicators of intellectual capital. The financial performance is measured through Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). Control variables included in each model are Market to Book Value (MV/BV), Logarithm of Total Assets (SIZE), and Asset Turnover (ATR). The fixed effects regression results show that an increase in the intellectual capital of the companies listed in the BIST Sustainability Index has a positive effect on their financial performance.

Illuminating the path to decarbonization: Nuclear energy consumption, clean energy production, and sustainable fuel production for long-term development

The global concern over carbon emissions has necessitated a deep understanding of energy use and air pollution. The fossil fuel- and nuclear-dependent Russian economy is an exciting exception. It examined how nuclear energy consumption (NEC), electricity generation, R&D investment, clean energy production technology, e-commerce penetration, capital creation, and carbon pollution affect the Russian economy. Short- and long-term interactions between these variables are assessed using the ARDL-Bound testing model for 1995Q1–2020Q4. The results show that NEC negatively correlates with CO2 emissions. The study also supports the inverted U-shaped Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, showing a positive and significant relationship between clean power production technology and CO2 emissions and a negative and significant relationship between square clean alternative energy innovation and CO2 emissions. Scientific and technical expenditures, fossil fuel coal liquefaction, and investment all negatively and statistically significantly affect CO2 emissions. However, the analysis implies that e-commerce increases CO2 emissions. These findings highlight the need for significant R&D investment to create precise and realistic ways to decrease carbon emissions and protect the environment in accordance with COP 26 targets. These findings have significant implications for the Russian economy, showing that improving energy sources and investing more in R&D may reduce carbon emissions.

Reimagining cities as self-organising capital creating ecosystems

Executives who lead cities face considerable challenges. Cities are complex ecosystems comprising myriad interacting systems, including information systems, which are vital for their operation and prosperity. Recognizing the value that information systems can offer, significant investments have been made to acquire these systems and make cities smarter or more intelligent. However, many smart city projects have failed to deliver on their promises due to a lack of clarity regarding their overall goals. Smarter or more intelligent towards what end? This article provides a systems-inspired approach to urban planning based on the premise that a city is a self-organising, capital-creating ecosystem composed of a city's administration and the many organizations within its domain. As the city's keystone entity, the administration's role is to create capital that enhances the capital productivity of other ecosystem members and nourishes innovators to boost capital creativity. A capital improvement budgeting framework can specify the allocation of all forms of capital to promote symbiotic connections between the various entities within a city. A city stack is designed to guide a city's administration in cooperating with its self-organising ecosystem. A research agenda to foster capital creation by city leaders is also outlined.

Impacts of economic development, globalization, and gross capital formation on natural resources rents: Evidence from India

Natural resources are a country's wealth, and resources economics and policy literature has extensively researched how to utilize this richness as a determinant of the country's growth. However, the primary challenges reside in establishing economic development as a driver for natural resource rents. Given this context, this study explores the association between economic development, globalization, gross capital formation, and natural resources rents in India. For the empirical research, the study employed Dynamic Auto-Regressive Distributive Lag (DARDL) simulation and Kernel-based Regularized Least Squares (KRLS) approaches on yearly data from 1990 to 2020. The present research used a unit root test to ascertain the stationary state across all variables, establishing their long-term cointegration connection. Results suggest that capital formation and economic development positively impact rents derived from natural resources in India, while globalization negatively affects natural resources rents. Unidirectional causation of economic development, globalization, and gross capital creation to natural resources rents has been established in this study using the Toda-Yamamoto causality model. Our findings have important policy implications and support the idea that sustainable economic growth models inherently rely on factors like the efficient utilization of natural resources and globalization.

A Comprehensive Examination of Entrepreneurial Networking Within the Indian Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

Entrepreneurial networking is critical for early-stage entrepreneurs to sustain their ideas, gather knowledge, and innovate, especially in emerging economies. This qualitative study explores entrepreneurial networking within the Indian entrepreneurial ecosystem, with primary data collected through interviews with 20 entrepreneurship experts, that include educators, government policymakers, investors, mentors and incubation managers. Theoretical bounding provides a clear understanding of the phenomenon. The research employs a grounded theory approach to develop clarity on the factors influencing entrepreneurial networking. The findings suggest that motivation, driven by the entrepreneur’s desire to create impact and other key motivational factors, significantly affects networking behaviour. Trust, encompassing both being trusting and trustworthy, positively influences networking, while networking impacts innovation and venture performance. Entrepreneurial networking facilitates social capital creation within and outside the ecosystem, enabling entrepreneurs to fulfil various early-stage venture needs, such as team formation, securing capital and finding customers and suppliers. This study contributes to the literature by addressing the gap in understanding the entrepreneurial networking phenomenon for early-stage entrepreneurs within the Indian context. The implications of these findings for industry, academia, research and policy are discussed, highlighting the importance of fostering a supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem that encourages networking and collaboration among the various stakeholders.

Impact of Investment and Labor Participation on Energy Consumption: A Panel Analysis on Selected OIC Countries

A country's economy cannot be separated from economic activity and energy consumption. A country's economic activity increases in proportion to its income. Furthermore, countries will respond to increased economic activity by changing their energy use. This research aims to assess how much extra energy is being utilized by economic activity to maintain the current environment. The results of the analysis show that the gross fixed capital creation variable has a major impact on the energy consumption of OIC countries. The labor force participation of individuals aged 15 to 24 also has a significant effect on energy use. Energy consumption can therefore be increased by raising investment and labor force participation. An annual data series (2010–2015) is used in this investigation. Panel data is the term for the sort of data that is utilized. Further research subjects can do dynamic panel data (countries) analysis by including factors not included in the research mode.

On the fiscal deficit and economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa: A new evidence from system GMM.

Using a two-step approach GMM, this study examines the short- and long-term effects of fiscal deficit on the economic growth of 42 Sub-Saharan African nations between 2011 and 2021. The World Development Index, the most reliable source, is where the panel data is taken from. Using the Levin-Lin-Chu and Hadri LM tests for unit root, it was determined that there is no risk of a random walk in the data. The study's findings indicate that while the fiscal deficit has short-term, positive, and significant benefits on the economic growth of SSA countries, it has long-term, negative repercussions. According to the system GMM's results, an increase in the fiscal deficit of SSA countries is linked to a short-term increase in economic growth of 0.036 percent, while an increase in the fiscal deficit of one percentage point is linked to a long-term decline in economic growth of SSA countries of 0.013 percent, holding all other factors constant. The study's findings also showed that the budget deficit has a larger positive short-run coefficient than a negative long-run coefficient. The study also revealed that while real effective exchange rates and inflation short-term hinder economic growth, gross fixed capital creation and real interest rates are the primary drivers of economic expansion. Long-term economic growth in the SSA countries is also found to be positively and significantly impacted by gross fixed capital formation. According to the study, SSA nations should manage their fiscal deficits and, in the long run, provide more funds for gross fixed capital development.

Are natural resources, sustainable growth and entrepreneurship matter endogenous growth theory? The strategic role of technical progress

The increasing environmental degradation is a major obstacle, despite the fact that the world has done a good job of dealing with sustainable development recently. This research sets out to fill that gap by examining 38 Asian economies from 2000 to 2021 in an effort to identify the novel factors that will determine sustainable growth. Progress in technology, availability of raw materials, technological advancement, and entrepreneurship are some of the factors that determine this. Similar to previous empirical research, this study's aims are investigated using the following tests: system GMM, quantile GMM, GMM, two-stage system, and one-step system GMM. Nonetheless, the results of the study show that technological innovation, gross capital creation, and the domestic labor force all contribute positively to economic development. In a similar vein, the endogenous growth hypothesis predicts that when economies develop rapidly, their use of natural resources would decrease. Additionally, some economies see a rise in growth when they engage in entrepreneurial activity and use renewable energy sources. This report also recommends some viable approaches for Asian countries to achieve fast development through the management of natural resources.

Studi Literatur Review : Manajemen Infrastruktur

Infrastructure management is coordination between the physical work environment and employees and work in an organization to maintain the quality of an integrated work environment in operating, maintaining, improving and adapting through the organizational restructuring process so that employee contributions can be realized in achieving company goals. Strength in the form of commitment and individual strength is individual capital that is important for management. This shows that the organizational role of employee contributions as superior employees (store employees) creates intellectual capital through greater effort and hard work which is closely related to the creation of intellectual capital.

Quantifying social capital creation in post-disaster recovery aid in Indonesia: methodological innovation by an AI-based language model.

Smooth interaction with a disaster-affected community can create and strengthen its social capital, leading to greater effectiveness in the provision of successful post-disaster recovery aid. To understand the relationship between the types of interaction, the strength of social capital generated, and the provision of successful post-disaster recovery aid, intricate ethnographic qualitative research is required, but it is likely to remain illustrative because it is based, at least to some degree, on the researcher's intuition. This paper thus offers an innovative research method employing a quantitative artificial intelligence (AI)-based language model, which allows researchers to re-examine data, thereby validating the findings of the qualitative research, and to glean additional insights that might otherwise have been missed. This paper argues that well-connected personnel and religiously-based communal activities help to enhance social capital by bonding within a community and linking to outside agencies and that mixed methods, based on the AI-based language model, effectively strengthen text-based qualitative research.

Economic marginalization of ethnic minorities in Eastern Europe: A cross-national assessment of self-reported experiences

How has identification and differentiation based on ethnicity shaped the economic experience in postsocialist Europe? We propose that creation of neoliberal capitalism in the context of ethnic conflict led to a sense of economic marginalization of East European ethnic minorities. Findings from Life in Transition Survey analysis show greater economic discontent by ethnic minorities in 2006 than in 1989 and persistent discontent in 2016, controlling for social class standing and other relevant demographics. Economic marginalization may also lead ethnic minorities to support more involvement of state in guaranteeing employment and low prices and to dislike markets as a way to organize the economy, both supported in our data. We conclude by suggesting how our findings about marginalization of ethnic minorities help put into perspective contemporary receptivity of East Europeans (and others) to nationalist and populist leaders.

Impact of Global Economic Trends on International Capital Flows: A Case of Selected Developing Countries

The dynamic link between foreign capital flows in emerging nations and global economic trends is examined in this study. Trade and foreign direct investment (FDI), two important dependent variables, are the main focus of the research, which also looks at how they interact with other independent variables such broad money, CO2 emissions, GDP constant, gross fixed capital creation, and labor force. The study uses data taken from the World Development Indicators for the years 2000–2022 and uses unit root tests to evaluate the stationarity of the variables at the level and first difference. According to our research, wide money, CO2 emissions, GDP constant, gross fixed capital creation, and labor force have a favorable and substantial influence on trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing nations. The results of the unit root tests reinforce the validity of our research by showing that the chosen variables are stable at the level. The study sheds light on the variables impacting the economic dynamics of emerging countries and offers insightful information on the complex relationships between global economic trends and international capital flows. The ramifications of these discoveries extend to stakeholders, investors, and policymakers who must comprehend and maneuver through the intricacies of capital flows within the dynamic framework of worldwide economic patterns.

Promotion of community resilience: Do citizens have a role to play?

ABSTRACT The promotion of community resilience is a multifaceted process that warrants further exploration. This article aims to contribute to this literature stream by assessing the role of citizen science (CS) approaches in the development of community resilience, since CS is considered a promising approach for generating new knowledge by fostering the participation of citizens (non-professional scientists) in research activities. The results show that CS approaches can contribute to community resilience at the institutional level, improving emergency and recovery planning capacity; at the infrastructural level, by contributing to land use planning and urban design; and at the social level, through the creation of community ties and social capital. This contribution is relevant for the development of public policies that are more shaped to local contexts and aligned with communities’ needs and expectations.

Time Banking and Social Capital Creation: a Transaction Data Analysis

This article uses transaction data from three time banks located in Barcelona to analyze their potential to generate bonding and bridging social capital for their members. Regarding bonding social capital, the findings are in line with the related literature in terms of the average number of trading partners and the ego-network density. However, reciprocity is a more frequent form of behavior in our data than in other time banks from other countries. Concerning bridging social capital and considering different age groups, the results show slight evidence of homophilic behavior, although intergenerational transactions are also present, being more frequent between more similar age groups. Finally, we explore the influence of age on the time it takes for members to engage in transactions, which could somehow be related to their potential motivations behind joining a time bank.

Impression of excessive digital media utilization on psychological well-being: A case of Pakistan’s metropolitan cities

Digital media utilization assumes an imperative part in changing millennials’ way of life. The rapid growth in the usage of digital media may have an impact on the mental prosperity of users. The primary focus of this research is to examine how excessive usage of digital media affects its consumers' psychological well-being in Pakistan's major cities. In January this year, there were 72 million digital media users in Pakistan, equal to 32% of the total population, of which 28% of Pakistan is between the ages of 26-41 (Kemp, 2022). This is the most probable age group to be used and influenced by digital media. Based on prior works, it delivers a more inclusive study of the spectacle by the view of independent variables (social capital, social isolation, and smartphone addiction), dependent variable (psychological well-being), and one mediator (excessive digital media utilization). This study sheds light on the best ways to mitigate the negative effects of using digital media, which claims to have a clear adverse effect on mental health through social capital creation and management. Overall, this research provides important insights for academics, scholars, and society at large. This paper consists of a quantitative approach of 236 users from metropolitan cities in Pakistan with the help of structural equation modeling to test the projected propositions. The research study could be additionally upgraded if we center around more factors and other various areas of Pakistan for exploring the effect of excessive digital media utilization on mental prosperity.

The Role of New Era Exporters on the Financial Growth in India

The present study aims to investigate the relationships among India's financial development, international trade, and the evolution of economic growth. The study's primary focal areas have been the real GDP, which has replaced economic growth, export and import services, international commerce, gross capital creation, and exchange rate as independent variables. More frequent traders are often found to have excellent advancement rates and to have a positive influence on the growth of the financial industry and the economy. The research will also examine if there is a sustained correlation between various macroeconomic factors in India from 2000 to 2018, such as trade growth, financial development, and other macroeconomic variables. Regarding the previous sentence, the study employed the Johansen co-integration approach, KPSS, ADF, and PP to ascertain if financial development, economic growth, and trade variables continue to be associated over an extended period of time. These techniques were also applied to investigate the long-term relationships between particular variables. The direction of causation between variables can be ascertained using the Granger causality test. All of the variables have been shown to be non-stationar, and the study demonstrates that there is a long-term correlation between financial development, economic growth, and international trade. The study's conclusions show the interdependence of trade, financial development, and economic development; yet, while macroeconomic policy is stable, negative macroeconomic variables, such increasing inflation, might impede economic progress.

An assessment of the effect of gross capital formation and financial development on Renewable Energy Consumption in middle-income nations: Does FDI act as a boosting factor? Evidence from CS-ARDl and NARDL framework

The association between foreign direct investment (FDI), gross capital formation (GCF), financial development, and renewable energy usage is investigated in this research (REC). The research used the CS-ARDL and NARDL estimates to examine the correlation among REC, FDI, GCF, and financial development. The results demonstrate a strong and statistically valid positive correlation in both the immediate and prolonged periods. Whether innovation in FDI is favourable or bad, it may ultimately affect REC, either by accelerating or diminishing it. Additionally, the research emphasizes a substantial and statistically valid association between REC and GCF, demonstrating that domestic capital creation has a favourable effect on the incorporation of clean energy. Furthermore, the data demonstrates a noteworthy association between financial development and renewable energy certificates (RECs), suggesting that the financial incentivizes facilitated by financial development play a pivotal role in encouraging the widespread use of REC. The results shown in this research are consistent with prior scholarly works and have substantial ramifications for comprehending the intricate interplay of sustainable energy, foreign direct investment (FDI), gross capital formation (GCF), and financial growth. However, the research emphasizes the need to conduct a thorough assessment of the characteristics and quality of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need to promote equitable and sustainable development in the renewable energy industry while considering its impacts on society and the environment. In addition, the report highlights the possible social and environmental repercussions that may result from renewable energy initiatives sponsored locally. This underscores the importance of establishing resilient policy frameworks and efficient governance mechanisms to guarantee that financial development, foreign direct investment (FDI), and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) all contribute to fostering sustainable and equitable expansion in the utilization of renewable energy. As a result, the study's results provide significant contributions to the understanding of how to optimize the use of financial development, green climate funds (GCF), and foreign direct investment (FDI) in order to promote the adoption of renewable energy. But before formulating sustainable approaches to encourage the use of renewable energy, it is vital to do a thorough evaluation of the broader ramifications and associated variables.

Nexus between foreign direct investment, gross capital formation, financial development and renewable energy consumption: evidence from panel data estimation

This research examines the correlation between foreign direct investment (FDI), gross capital formation (GCF), financial development, and renewable energy consumption (REC). The research utilizes the CS-ARDL and NARDL estimates to identify a strong and statistically significant connection, both in the long-term and short-term, between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Gross Capital Formation (GCF), financial development, and Regional Economic Cooperation (REC). More precisely, a 10% alteration in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) leads to a 1.545% augmentation in Research and Development Expenditure (REC) over an extended period of time, and a 0.735% boost in the immediate term. Likewise, favorable (unfavorable) advancements in foreign direct investment (FDI) hasten (diminish) the pace of economic growth in the long term. The analysis also demonstrates a strong and statistically significant relationship between GCF and REC, highlighting the advantageous impact of domestic capital creation on the integration of clean energy. Moreover, it reveals a favorable correlation between financial development and REC, indicating that the financial incentives enabled by financial development have a crucial impact on encouraging the use of renewable energy. These results are consistent with previous research and have important consequences for the connection between foreign direct investment (FDI), gross capital formation (GCF), financial development, and sustainable energy. Nonetheless, the study highlights the importance of taking into account the nature and caliber of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, the influence of fair and sustainable growth in the renewable energy sector on the environment and society, and the possible environmental and social consequences of renewable energy projects fueled by domestic capital expansion. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need of well-rounded policy frameworks and governance mechanisms to guarantee that foreign direct investment (FDI), green climate fund (GCF), and financial development effectively contribute to equitable and sustainable growth in the consumption of renewable energy. The study's findings offer valuable insights on how to effectively use foreign direct investment (FDI), global climate finance (GCF), and financial development to increase the use of renewable energy. However, it also emphasizes the importance of carefully evaluating the wider consequences and related factors in order to develop sustainable strategies for promoting renewable energy consumption.

From Granary to Arts Incubator: An Evolutionary Perspective on the Concept of Food for Thought

Does our food for thought come virtually from the internet? When we take a long view, the instant stroke of a keyboard pales in comparison to the centuries-old evolution of real food harvesting and the generation and exchange of ideas, which have resulted in creative capital. The vernacular architecture of the agricultural built environment has almost dematerialized in its transition from the ancient pre-industrial era to the post-truth world, to become almost only an imagined concept. The symbology of the common threshing terrace of a Portuguese remote mountain village can now be found in multiple spaces of the urban realm, including in the metaphor of a community arts incubator’s modus operandi in Albany, New York (USA). How has the concept of food for thought developed and materialized? How has it evolved? And what are some of the expected ways it might be utilized in the future? The purpose of the paper is to trace the evolution of this concept and its elements via the BLC Framework. The methodology employs a time analysis of approximately three centuries to distinguish three distinct evolutionary phases: (i) the pre-industrial era, (ii) the industrial era, and (iii) the information-driven era. The key finding is an up-to-date discussion of the food for thought concept in two distinct geographical worlds and three-time eras, as well as a set of lessons learned according to a protest poem and a rock song. The results are presented in the form of five lessons learned with implications for public policy: the first two lessons pertain to issues of procedural justice as encapsulated in the anonymous ‘The Goose’ poem, while the last three result from a discussion of selected verses in Nick Cave’s ‘Fable of the Brown Ape’ rock song.
