Symbiotic relationship and attribution analysis of digitalization in agriculture, rural, and finance: evidence from China by Xiaojuan Yang, Kai Liu, Weiwei Li, Weiwei Li

“…The evolution of symbiotic indices is diversified, with emergence of a variety of patterns such as continuously declining, fluctuating upward, relatively stable, L-shaped, inverted U-shaped, W-shaped, V-shaped, tilted Z-shaped, M-shaped, and the symbiotic relationship and its changes exhibit significant spatial variability, agglomeration and correlation. The driving mechanism of symbiotic relationship is complicated, and the nature and intensity of factors are regional and time-varying. …”

The Role of Human Capital in Explaining Asset Return Dynamics in the Indian Stock Market During the COVID Era by Eleftherios Thalassinos, Naveed Khan, Mustafa Afeef, Hassan Zada, Shakeel Ahmed

“…Over the past decade, multifactor models have shown enhanced capability compared to single-factor models in explaining asset return variability. Given the common assertion that higher risk tends to yield higher returns, this study empirically examines the augmented human capital six-factor model’s performance on thirty-two portfolios of non-financial firms sorted by size, value, profitability, investment, and labor income growth in the Indian market over the period July 2010 to June 2023. …”
