Nonparametric efficiency and artificial intelligence techniques in higher education: a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1427-1464, May 2026.
Abstract In a sector that needs to work as efficient as possible, artificial intelligence (AI) can guide the efficiency improvements of higher education institutions (HEIs). This paper explores both the AI literature and the efficiency literature as applied to HEIs following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review guidelines. The goal is to

Price Indices Rekindled, 1970s–1990s: Theory and Practice at Cross Purposes?

Journal of Economic Surveys, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 898-914, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper revisits the discussions on price indices during a period marked by theoretical advancements and practical challenges in measuring inflation. Index‐number theorists sought to improve accuracy, yet national statistical offices largely maintained established practices due to concerns over data availability, stability, and public trust.

The Source Brightness Distribution of Terrestrial Gamma‐Ray Flashes From the ALOFT Flight Campaign

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Terrestrial Gamma‐ray Flashes (TGFs) are naturally occurring phenomena that consist of bursts of gamma radiation associated with thunderclouds. Measurements of TGFs have been predominantly based on satellite instruments due to the significantly larger observation area compared to ground measurements. Due to atmospheric attenuation of the gamma

Measurement and Regional Disparities of Pig Farming Efficiency Under Different Production Scales: Evidence From China

Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT China's pig farming sector is increasingly shifting toward large‐scale and intensive operations, and differences in productivity across farm‐size categories have become crucial for maintaining competitiveness. This paper investigates the changing scale structure of pig production and assesses both static efficiency and dynamic total factor ...
