The relationship between knowledge and entrepreneurship has been extensively studied, with the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship (KSTE) providing a key theoretical framework. However, the assumption that increasing knowledge stocks and flows inevitably leads to higher levels of entrepreneurship remains contested. This study examines how the mix of science and cluster policies in Germany influences entrepreneurial activity by shaping knowledge spillovers. While science policies aim to advance research and knowledge creation, cluster policies primarily enhance knowledge flows by fostering collaboration among firms, universities, and research institutions. Following the rationale of KSTE, we test whether regions exposed to both types of policy exhibit higher levels of innovation and innovative entrepreneurship than control groups, that is, regions treated only by one or by neither policy. Contrary to KSTE predictions, our findings reveal that knowledge spillovers do not automatically result in increased innovative entrepreneurship but instead primarily fuel intrapreneurship. We thus argue that simply increasing knowledge production is insufficient to drive innovation and innovative entrepreneurship; rather, the way in which knowledge is transferred and absorbed plays a crucial role.

Radical Ecological Economics is a more appropriate way for collaboration with communities in the Global South. It transcends the conceptual and methodological premises of Ecological Economics, integrating realities that are not commonly considered, but exist and actively resist throughout the world. The text addresses three major areas: 1) the broadening of the understanding of the social, not only as “the human” but as the encounter of complex structures of organization, of biological and cultural reproduction, of identity reaffirmation and even the search for autonomy in the face of historical oppressions whose leadership is entrusted to a Revolutionary Communitarian Subject; 2) the understanding that, within this social complexity, there are realities that are not generally considered, in which the natural endowment and goods for consumption and enjoyment are not allocated by market mechanisms; where production is organized as part of the social fabric; in which surpluses take multiple material and non-material forms, and are distributed for the common good (human and non-human); and in which socioecological metabolic configurations are nourished by historical cosmovisions that respect the biophysical limits of ecosystems; 3) REE has clear ontological, epistemological, methodological, and political foundations, taking into account a diversity of realities. This formulation offers a comprehensive method to understand the multiple worlds and approaches of millenarian societies that now are forging worlds outside the capitalist model by communities committed to alleviating the multi-scale crisis that afflicts them.

This paper investigates the role of precommitment in making healthy food choices, using a lab-in-the-field experiment embedded in the Young Lives longitudinal study in Peru. Leveraging the fact that participants were scheduled for a blood test and would therefore require a snack afterwards, we elicited participants’ snack choice from a predefined set. Participants were asked whether they wished to pre-commit to their preferred snack choice (either healthy or unhealthy) to be consumed the following day, following their blood test, or to choose the snack on the spot. A randomised subsample was informed about the rationale for precommitment (information treatment) prior to their decision. After deciding whether they would like to pre-commit their snack choice or not, participants were again randomised into two groups: the first group had their preferred choice (either pre-commit or choose on the spot) implemented; in contrast, the second group’s choice was overridden (‘choice override’ treatment). Our findings suggest that: first, there is a high demand for precommitment, with 68.5% of participants wanting to pre-commit their preferred snack choice. Second, the information treatment had no significant effect on participants’ willingness to pre-commit. Third, overriding participants’ precommitment decision leads to asymmetric effects on desired behaviour: for those who had pre-committed to a healthy snack, being forced to choose on the spot decreases healthy food choice; conversely, those who pre-committed to an unhealthy snack were more likely to choose a healthy one. These findings highlight the need to carefully target commitment devices, given their potential asymmetric effects on desired behaviours.

Amid rising global economic uncertainty, firms' international expansion faces mounting challenges, while the convergence of digital and real industries offers fresh strategic opportunities for high-level openness. Using data from Chinese listed firms, this study examines how such convergence shapes outward foreign direct investment (OFDI). Empirical results show that convergence significantly boosts both the probability and scale of OFDI, with this effect being greater in regions with strict intellectual property protection, high-technology industries, and export-oriented enterprises. Mechanism tests indicate that improvements in total factor productivity and easing of financing constraints are key drivers. Further evidence suggests convergence stimulates cross-border mergers and acquisitions and enhances overseas revenues. This research enriches understanding of the nexus between technology convergence and internationalization, offering policy insights for emerging economies to leverage the digital economy to strengthen global competitiveness. More broadly, the integration of digital and real industries will remain a vital catalyst for firms’ international growth.

A large body of literature demonstrates that exposure to major adverse events such as natural disasters affects physical and mental health. Less is known about health consequences of long-term exposure to smaller, recurring shocks such as mining-induced earthquakes. Leveraging data from the Dutch Lifelines Cohort Study and Biobank and the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, we examine mental health effects of frequent earthquakes generated by the extraction of natural gas, which was a major source of economic revenue for the Netherlands. Long-term exposure is captured by the accumulated peak ground acceleration. We employ individual-level fixed effects models to deal with selective exposure. We find that exposure increases depression and anxiety symptoms. Our results are robust to selective migration and to varying the exposure indicator. The results support a reassessment of the societal costs of the mining of natural gas.
