This paper examines the historical development and cross-sectional heterogeneities of Financial Market Infrastructure (FMI). From an evolutionary perspective, we review and compare FMIs in the US, Europe, and China. We identify an emerging trend in which the development of FMI is transitioning from digitalization to tokenization with the rise of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). Digitalization reinforces centralization, while tokenization promotes decentralization, posing complex challenges to regulatory framework which is also part of FMI. We then specifically analyze DLT-based FMI in the bond market, evaluate different models of tokenization, and propose a heterogeneous consortium blockchain solution.

Although bibliometric analysis is not a new issue in management and business sectors, it ought to be a common and rigorous method in contemporary literature on entrepreneurship and small business management. The current analysis demonstrates the patterns in the literature for the last ten years in the MSEs’ entrepreneurial ecosystem. Based on material published from 2013 to 2022, a bibliometric analysis was performed using the Dimensions database. The number of publications and citations, as well as the nations and organizations that have made a significant contribution to the production of publications in the field during the specified period, have all been determined through the analysis using the VOS Viewer software. The examination of 266 publications in the field revealed that the United States, the United Kingdom, and India are the top three contributors in terms of publications and citations. The analysis suggests that the subject is understudied and that there is insufficient literature. The analysis is considered crucial since it demonstrates the patterns in publications and citations in the field. Therefore, to close the gaps in the literature, it is advised that experts in the field conduct studies on the entrepreneurial ecosystem of MSEs.

This paper comprehensively reviews how innovation and growth are modelled in theoretical and empirical literature. We distinguish between economic modelling (microfounded) and econometric modelling (ad hoc). The two modelling approaches are complementary to each other for their comparative advantages in causality identification and forecasting performance. Popular models of the two approaches are illustrated and compared. We also propose an eclectic approach to combine the two approaches in one analysis framework.

The contamination of water resources has become a significant challenge that threatens the health and well-being of people’s daily life; it calls for new technologies to be applied for water purification. Heterogeneous Fenton or Fenton-like techniques have a lot of potential as a new approach for treating wastewater because of the advantages in efficiency, safety, and economics. Various advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are comprehensively reviewed in this work, and the •OH generation methods including chemical, electro-chemical, and photochemical approaches are summarized. Some key parameters that influence the reaction efficiency such as the temperature, catalysts, H2O2 dosage, and pH are investigated. The reaction mechanism and process optimization of photocatalysis are specifically highlighted.
