Does exchange rate volatility alter the effect of appreciation and depreciation on trade balance? The literature posits that balance responds more to shocks than shocks. Using monthly data from 1960M02–2020M12, we examine asymmetric effects rates while accounting for volatility. study applies a nonlinear bivariate model allows be examined concurrently. We find reduces positive an shock in developed countries short long run. In developing nations, promotes balance, both transmission mechanism...

This study explores the complex relationship between information and communication technologies (ICTs) socioeconomic characteristics. We employ a cutting-edge explainable machine learning approach, known as SHAP values, to interpret an XGBoost neural network model, well benchmark traditional econometric methods. The application of algorithms combined with methodology reveals nonlinear relationships in data important insights guide tailored policy-making. Our results suggest that there is...

To effectively implement the proposed United Nations development agenda beyond 2015, Governments will need to focus on reducing inequality in their national planning strategies. In order provide an evidence base for such Sri Lankan context, a systematic and comprehensive analysis regional is required. The present study begins undertake this type of using summary sigma convergence statistics, as coefficient variation, Gini mean deviation scores. Regional gross domestic product (GDP) per...

Assessment of the economy-wide impacts tourism has increased importance due to unprecedented COVID-19. Computable general equilibrium (CGE) approach is a versatile tool for estimating tourism, as opposed alternative approaches and partial approaches. However, there not been any systematic review done on CGE applications in literature. The article reviews over past 25 years using quantitative literature approach. This presents potentially important models guiding post-COVID tourism. Further,...
