Authors: Fairlie Reinoso, Alan; Paredes Zegarra, Tania; Paredes Quintana, Paula
Abstract: This study examines the impact of trade and environmental agreements on trade in the Andean Community (CAN) and the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) during the period 2001-2019. Using a panel data methodology, the study analyses the effects of ratifying a number of agreements (the Paris Agreement, the Kyoto Protocol, the Nagoya Protocol, and Free Trade Agreements with the European Union) on total exports and imports. The results reveal that environmental regulations have a differentiated impact on the exports and imports of both trade blocs. These findings underscore the importance of trade and environmental agreements in promoting sustainable trade and emphasize the need for ongoing monitoring of their implementation to foster equitable and sustainable growth in the region.</summary>

Authors: Zaighum, Isma; Aman, Ameenullah; Abd Karim, Mohd Zaini B.
Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between peer effects and corporate capital structure with the intervening effect of industry concentration. The methodology involves instrumental variable approach in the regression results from OLS and two-stage least squares (2SLS) with fixed effects. Empirical evidence shows that peers' leverage decisions are significant determinant for a firm's leverage decisions. Moreover, peers matter more when firms are operating in the competitive environments and same is not true for firms belonging to concentrated environment. These findings imply that the financial policymakers may device customized policies for competitive and concentrated markets to restrict the downside risk of debt financing.</summary>

    <summary type="text">Title: Time-heterogeneous impacts of global temperature cycle on world business cycle
Authors: Nam, Kyungsik
Abstract: We study the statistical relationship between the world business cycle and the global temperature cycle. To amplify the signal-to-noise ratio, we estimate a two-state latent dynamic process from the original data using the endogenous regime-switching methodology. Subsequently, we apply a time-varying structural VAR analysis to identify the time-heterogeneous relationship between the extracted latent factors. Our findings provide empirical evidence that the global mean temperature cycle has a negative impact on the world business cycle during super El Niño periods, which are characterized by relatively high temperature variance records given the past information.</summary>

Authors: Oprea, Simona-Vasilica; Bâra, Adela; Bucur, Cristian; Tudorică, Bogdan-George; Oprea, Niculae
Abstract: This paper presents an in-depth analysis of a Quantum-inspired Multi-objective Optimization Algorithm (QMOA) applied to a unique problem: maximizing trading profits while minimizing energy costs. Previous investigations have explored the profitability of Bitcoin, yet our research delves into its relationship with energy costs. Regarding the trade-offs, the Pareto analysis reveals that trading profit and energy cost do not strongly inversely correlate. The range of outcomes shows a relatively uniform trading profit (from 1.302,85 to 1.310,22\), but a broader variation in energy costs (from 1.141,66 to 5.657,94\). While the trading profit remains stable, there is a wide array of options for minimizing energy cost, which is influenced by various constraints and market conditions. Solutions tend to cluster more in areas of higher energy costs. However, the variability in energy costs offers Bitcoin miners choices, allowing them to tailor strategies, whether that involves prioritizing energy efficiency, profit maximization or striking a balance.</summary>
