Comparative Analysis of the Performances of a Nonlinear Observer and Nonlinear Kalman Filters in the Presence of Non‐Gaussian Disturbances

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper focuses on state estimation for a fairly general class of systems, involving nonlinear functions and disturbances in both the process dynamics and output equations. A nonlinear observer that satisfies a H∞$$ {\boldsymbol{H}}_{\boldsymbol{\infty}} $$ disturbance attenuation constraint in addition to providing asymptotic stability in ...

Distributed Optimization of Finite Condition Number for Laplacian Matrix in Multi‐Agent Systems

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the distributed optimization of the finite condition number of the Laplacian matrix in multi‐agent systems. The finite condition number, defined as the ratio of the largest to the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix, plays an important role in determining the convergence rate and performance of consensus ...

Human Rights Economic Dividends: Estimating the Economic Effects of Preventing Discrimination

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Economies embracing principles like nondiscrimination are presumed to reap significant rewards, while violations incur heavy costs. We call these benefits human rights economic dividends—the economic gains that arise when policymaking is guided by human rights principles.

Cultural Differences and Interdependencies in Climate Change Mitigation Efforts and Their Psychological Antecedents Across 63 Countries

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change research, like much of social science, is biased toward WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) populations, limiting its global relevance. Even cross‐national studies often suffer from methodological inconsistencies due to cultural and geographic interdependencies.

Exploring Farmers' Intentions to Mitigate Climate Change Through the Lens of the Theory of Reasoned Goal Pursuit

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is a major challenge requiring farmers to adopt sustainable practices. As climate policies often depend on voluntary action, understanding what motivates farmers is essential. This study applies the Theory of Reasoned Goal Pursuit (TRGP) to assess key factors influencing Hungarian farmers' intentions to mitigate climate change ...

Between Emancipation and Domination? A Critical Analysis of Empowerment in a Women‐Only Development Program in Costa Rica's Coffee Sector

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Female empowerment and its use in development contexts has histories in coloniality. Gender programs typically imply an individualistic, depoliticized concept. This article examines whether such initiatives can be supportive for empowerment. We apply an embedded qualitative case study of Bean Voyage's program to support female coffee producers

Who Benefits From Green Tech? How Eco‐Innovation and Process Eco‐Innovation Shape Emissions Inequality Across G7 Economies

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the asymmetric effects of eco‐innovation on income‐based carbon emissions inequality within G7 economies over the period 1990–2023. Theoretically grounded in innovation diffusion theory and political economy frameworks, we argue that green technological advancements exert non‐linear, directional effects on emissions ...

Tourism Labor Market and the Attainment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals: Pending Challenges, Ongoing Opportunities and More Responsible and Inclusive Scientific Research for the Advancement of the Tourism Industry

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Concerning human resources, research in the tourism sector has traditionally focused on a personnel‐managerial perspective rather than a labor market‐condition analysis per se, limiting the examination of its unique working ecosystem and distinct socioeconomic particularities. This has evidenced an apparent thematic research gap in the tourism

Does Adopting Sustainable Development Goals Drive Corporate Change? The Case of the Goal on Gender Equality

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates whether firms' adoption of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 on gender equality leads to measurable improvements in gender diversity within corporate leadership. Using a sample of large European firms from 2016 to 2023, we apply a difference‐in‐differences methodology to compare gender diversity outcomes between ...
