FinTech and Bank Efficiency in China: Evidence From a Dynamic Network Perspective

International Review of Finance, Volume 26, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines whether and through which channels financial technology (FinTech) development improves the efficiency of commercial banks. We adopt a meso‐level perspective by measuring external FinTech exposure with two complementary indicators: industry‐level innovation intensity (FinTech‐related Bank Technology Development Awards) and ...

Environmental Total Factor Productivity and the Cost‐Effectiveness of GHG Emission Reduction: The Case of Crop Production in China

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 765-780, July 2026.
ABSTRACT China's diversified agricultural policies have effectively improved both the yield and environmental performance of the crop sector. Quantifying productivity trends and their drivers is key to formulating strategies for high‐quality and low‐carbon crop development.

First Report of the Malacosporean Parasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae in the Faroe Islands Reveals Widespread Distribution and High Prevalence in Brown Trout

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The myxozoan endoparasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae (Tb), the causative agent of proliferative kidney disease (PKD) in salmonids, has predominantly been reported in temperate regions of continental Europe and North America. Here, we present the first record of Tb in the Faroe Islands, extending the known northern distribution of the ...

Do robots boost productivity? A quantitative meta‐study

Journal of Economic Surveys, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 1531-1571, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This meta‐study analyzes the productivity effects of industrial robots. More than 1800 estimates from 85 primary studies are collected. The meta‐analytic evidence suggests that robotization has so far provided, at best, a small boost to productivity. There is strong evidence of publication bias in the positive direction.

Environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow prices for dairy farms

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 99-123, June 2026.
Abstract We estimate the environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow price for Ontario dairy farms. We use an input‐oriented directional distance function and farm‐level data from 2000 to 2020. First, we find that while GHG emissions per cow increase with higher milk yields, emission intensity decreases as milk yield per cow increases.

Fathers Are Frightened but May Not Know It: Considering Masculinity and Attachment When Working With Fathers in Family Therapy

Journal of Family Theory &Review, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 328-342, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Given the often‐unacknowledged emotional realities in theory and practice around masculinities and fatherhood, working with fathers in family therapy needs ongoing attention. Therapists' efforts can be enhanced through attending to how men and fathers may have been socialized towards restrictive masculine ideologies (e.g., devaluing emotional ...

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

The interval Malmquist productivity index in DEA

Iranian Journal of Optimization, 2010
One of the most popular approaches to measuring productivity changes is basedon using Malmquist productivity indexes. In this paper we propose a method forobtaining interval Malmquist productivity index (IMPI). The classical DEAmodels have been before used for measuring the Malmquist productivity index.The current article extends DEA models for ...

Assessing Agricultural Green Total Factor Productivity in Latin America

Agribusiness, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 784-797, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT The agricultural sector in Latin America plays a vital role in ensuring food security while impacting the environment. However, there remains a lack of analysis regarding the inputs responsible for pollution within its sub‐technologies. Hence, this article aims to assess agricultural green total factor productivity (TFP) through a novel ...

The Impact of Resource Endowment and Digital Transformation on the Efficiency of Energy Transition

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 2182-2205, April 2026.
Resource endowment has a significant positive direct effect and a stronger spatial spillover effect on ETE, while digital transformation can improve local efficiency but has some negative spillover effects on neighboring regions. ABSTRACT In contemporary society, improving energy transition efficiency (ETE) has become a necessary measure to ensure the ...
