Abstract:
... In recent years, reverse logistics supply chain (RLSC) has gained momentum as an environmentally friendly approach that could facilitate in greening the conventional construction supply chains. A perusal of literature shows that the research in the field of RLSC of demolition waste (DW) is in an evolving phase. The improper information sharing (IS) is a serious issue in RLSC of DW, which has not b ...

Abstract:
... In economic literature, economic complexity is typically approximated on the basis of an economy’s gross export structure. However, in times of ever increasingly integrated global value chains, gross exports may convey an inaccurate image of a country’s economic performance since they also incorporate foreign value-added and double-counted exports. Thus, I introduce a new empirical approach approx ...

Abstract:
... Using 100 years of data, we provide a new macroeconomic uncertainty proxy for the US and other 14 major industrial countries. We show macroeconomic uncertainty experiences an overall declining pattern in the century, and the influential political and economic events (two world wars and major recessions) are associated with a dramatic surge in macroeconomic uncertainty. Meanwhile, a global common c ...

Abstract:
... We propose that natural disasters discourage economic development in the short-run by inhibiting entrepreneurship start-up activity, which is largely responsible for job creation and growth. Our findings indicate that natural disaster events decrease start-up activity in the short-run (i.e., 1–2 years) but have no effect beyond that term. Furthermore, this relationship is driven by climatic natura ...
