Can the mitigation of water constraints promote regional entrepreneurial activity? Evidence from China

Traditional entrepreneurial choice models typically consider only entrepreneurial talent and capital inputs, neglecting natural resource endowments. The debate over whether the scarcity of natural resources affects regional entrepreneurial activity remains inconclusive. In countr...

Leave-one-out analysis for nonconvex robust matrix completion with general thresholding functions

We study the problem of robust matrix completion (RMC), where the partially observed entries of an underlying low-rank matrix is corrupted by sparse noise. Existing analysis of the non-convex methods for this problem either requires the explicit but empirically redundant regulari...

Drivers of CO 2 Reduction in OECD : Financial Structure and FDI via MMQR

ABSTRACT The study analyzes the response of disaggregated level foreign direct investment (FDI) and financial structure on the CO 2 intensity of 30 high energy‐consuming OECD countries. To this end, the study applies the Method of Moment Quantile Regression (MMQR) to the data bet...

The Impact of Rural Centralized Residence on Land Transfer: Evidence from Sichuan, China

Exploring the impact of rural centralized residence (RCR) policies on land transfer behavior is crucial for promoting scaled agricultural operations in rural China. However, empirical scrutiny of RCR’s effects on land transfer remains limited, as existing evaluations focus primar...

Seeking Stability Amid Uncertainty: The Impact of Climate Policy Uncertainty on Corporate Innovation Resilience

As the global sustainability agenda and carbon neutrality goals continue to advance, climate policy has become an important governance instrument for promoting firms’ green and low-carbon transformation. Adjustments in policy timing, regulatory intensity, and enforcement arrangem...

Principle Physics: A Unified Axiomatic Deduction System Based on Energy Noumenon and Complex Conjugate Spacetime

This paper proposes a fundamental axiomatic physical system based on energy noumenon, complex conjugate spacetime and three-constant constraints. Within the framework of complex Hermitian geometry, it provides a unified description of the four fundamental interactions—gravitation...

Governing AIGC Misuse in E-Commerce Platform Content Ecosystems: A Tripartite Evolutionary Game Analysis of Platforms, Content Creators, and Users

Artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) is reshaping content production on e-commerce platforms, while also facilitating AIGC misuse, including fake reviews and low-quality marketing. These behaviors undermine the platform’s content quality, consumer trust, and transacti...

Environmental and Ecological Fiscal Transfers in China: Design, Performance, and Lessons for Global Environmental Governance

This paper examines the design, implementation, and impact of intergovernmental fiscal transfers for environmental protection and ecological conservation in the People’s Republic of China. It provides a conceptual overview of conditional fiscal transfers, distinguishing between t...

The Multi-Layered Effect of Panaxatriol Saponins in Preventing Diabetic Nephropathy in Mice

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common microvascular complication of diabetes and the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Nearly 40% of people with diabetes will develop DN, and DN accounts for 23% of ESRD cases in China. Dysfunction of the gut-kidney axis...
