THE IMPACT OF MONETARY POLICY ON SMALL AND MEDIUM SCALE ENTERPRISES (SMES) IN THE PERIOD OF ECONOMIC CRISES

The study examines how monetary policy affects small and medium-scale (SMEs) in Nigeria during 1991–2020. The paper shows how monetary policy variables, such as the interest rate, money supply and inflation rate, drive the relative outputs ...

Examining the effect of credit on monetary policy with Markov regime switching: Evidence from Turkey

This paper analyses the effect of credit on monetary policy responses for different regimes in Turkey. To do so, the Taylor rule augmented with the credit gap is estimated by using a Markov regime switching model from January 2006 to Decemb...

Adoption and Willingness to Pay for Emerging Dementia Therapies: Evidence from a Nationally Representative Survey

Objectives: Decisions about emerging disease-modifying dementia therapies involve both treatment uptake and willingness to pay (WTP), reflecting the monetary valuation of treatment benefits. Existing studies often do not distinguish between...

Monetary Policy and Central Banking: Challenges in the Current Environment

Central banks across the world have remained in a state of emergency ever since the global financial crisis [...]...

A Blended Finance Framework for Heritage-Led Urban Regeneration

The inclusion of heritage conservation in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, target 11.4, stimulated a broad dialogue among heritage conservation practitioners intent on framing a meaningful role for heritage assets ...

Exploring the intersection between sustainable finance and achieving carbon neutrality in the transportation sector

In the context of China's transportation sector, which has faced escalating challenges in carbon emissions, this study delves into the intricate nexus between sustainable finance strategies and the imperative of achieving carbon neutrality....

Membership-linked issue specialization within the G77 in UN climate negotiations

Abstract The Group of 77 and China (G77) coordinates developing-country positions in negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), while many members also participate through overlapping negotiating ...

Gold Price Forecasting using Time Series Modeling on a Web Platform

Gold is one of the most favored investment instruments due to its stability and its ability to preserve value against inflation. However, its price movements are volatile and influenced by various global economic factors, currency exchange ...

Where Galaxies Go to Die: The Environments of Massive Quiescent Galaxies at 3 < z < 5

At low redshift, massive quiescent galaxies (MQGs) are most frequently found in massive, rich galaxy clusters, but at high redshift the trend is less clear. Here, we present spectroscopic evidence of the effects of environment on the format...

Entropy-Based Portfolio Optimization in Cryptocurrency Markets: A Unified Maximum Entropy Framework

Traditional mean–variance portfolio optimization proves inadequate for cryptocurrency markets, where extreme volatility, fat-tailed return distributions, and unstable correlation structures undermine the validity of variance as a comprehens...

Research on the Longitudinal Section of River Restoration Using Probabilistic Theory

Since the 1960s, many rivers have been destroyed as a consequence of the process of rapid urbanization. As accurate figures are important to repair rivers, there have been many research reports on methods to obtain the exact river slope and...

Anti-de Sitter → de Sitter transition driven by Casimir forces and mitigating tensions in cosmological parameters

Over the last few years, low- and high-redshift observations set off tensions in the measurement of the present-day expansion rate H0 and in the determination of the amplitude of the matter clustering in the late Universe (parameterized by ...

Radiative Processes in Astrophysics

Multi year changes of Aerosol Optical Depth in the monsoon region of the Indian Ocean since 1986 as seen in the AVHRR and TOMS data

Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) data based on AVHRR and TOMS was analyzed to find out the changes in the Indian Ocean from 1981 to 2004. Four regions covering Indian Ocean north of 10&deg; S were studied in detail. The results strongly sugge...

Dijet production in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering in next-to-next-to-leading order QCD

Abstract Hard processes in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering can be described by a factorisation into parton-level subprocesses and diffractive parton distributions. In this framework, cross sections for inclusive dijet production in di...

Where Do Hot Jupiters Come from? Revisiting Tidal Disruption and Ejection in High-eccentricity Migration

The origin of hot Jupiters remains a key open question. In the high-eccentricity migration scenario, traditional coreless models predict a strict tidal exclusion zone within ∼2.7 tidal radii r _t , in which giant planets are either fully di...

Erratum to: Search for resonant and nonresonant production of pairs of dijet resonances in proton-proton collisions at s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV

Multi-messenger astrophysics

A search for $t\bar{t}$ resonances with the ATLAS detector in 2.05 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7~\mathrm{TeV}$

Abstract A search for top quark pair resonances in final states containing at least one electron or muon has been performed with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integ...

Fault interaction and earthquake triggering mechanisms: Progress and prospects

Research on fault interaction and earthquake triggering, which is a hot issue in the field of source physics, can facilitate understanding of the underlying mechanisms of strong earthquakes and also has good application prospects in earthqu...
