“By employing spatial econometric models, the study identifies key determinants such as economic development, globalization, and human capital, while highlighting the role of spatial clustering in cultural trade. This review critically evaluates the article’s various dimensions while, connecting its findings to broader scholarly debates. […]

The study’s use of spatial econometrics (e.g., DSDPM) provides methodological rigor, addressing spatial autocorrelation and temporal dynamics often overlooked in cultural trade research.

For example, the role of cultural products in soft power aligns with Nye (2004). The spatial clustering of exports can be related to Porter's (1998) clusters theory. The impact of globalization on cultural homogenization versus diversification could reference Robertson (1995) on glocalization.”

“In the clubs of Osaka, Tokyo and Nagoya, the energetic sounds of amapiano, afrobeats and dancehall are bringing new crowds to the dance floor. These genres, originating in Africa and the Caribbean, have made their mark on Japan’s nightlife thanks to the clubbing event Amapinight, which has been spreading through Japan in recent months. It’s run by a group of young women – Sakura Hosokawa, Aoi Takase and Rina Hagai. Two of them are hafu, a term used to describe people of mixed-race heritage.”

“By analyzing publication ratios (ρ) and correlating them with socio-economic indicators, the study highlights how different factors shape scholarly communication. This review contextualizes these findings within broader academic debates and evaluates their implications. […]

National policies and funding models influence publishing behavior. For instance, performance-based funding systems that prioritize quantity over quality might push researchers towards journals with higher acceptance rates. The study references Romania and Lithuania's policies leading to strategic publishing behaviors. Political will (or lack thereof) to support OA initiatives could also play a role.”

“For three years, Andrés Jaque, 53, has been dean of the Graduate School of Architecture at Columbia University, one of the most cutting-edge centers in architectural innovation. The Madrid-born architect is spending his time at the university rethinking how buildings and cities should face climate change. He believes that we must commit to an “interspecies alliance” and that buildings, beyond just being sustainable, should also contribute to repairing our ecology.”

“The study highlights the Chinese government's role in managing crises, which ties into political economy literature, which relates to works on policy uncertainty and financial stability (e.g., Pastor & Veronesi, 2013). The political dimension of the study centers on the Chinese government’s role in mitigating systemic risk through policy interventions. […]

While the article does not explicitly address social outcomes, its findings have indirect societal relevance. Systemic financial risks, as measured by ΔCoVaR, correlate with public trust in financial institutions and broader social stability. For instance, the 2015 stock market crash eroded household wealth, exacerbating income inequality—a phenomenon documented by Reinhart and Rogoff (2009) in post-crisis economies.”

“For a decade, Liu Nanjie ran a factory in China’s southern manufacturing hub of Guangdong, using the highly precise computerized numerical control (CNC) machines to make steel and aluminum materials for electronic devices. But his business struggled during the pandemic. In mid-2023, during a vacation in Vietnam, he met other Chinese entrepreneurs and got the idea to invest in a new plant in the country. He soon shipped over four CNC machines to Vietnam. “There will be demand [for the metal materials] for sure,” Liu, who now rents an apartment in the Bac Ninh province and plans to split his time between Vietnam and China, told Rest of World. “It’s still in the growth stage.””
