Sustainable Production: Finance, Technology, and Institutional Quality, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will bring together papers on specialized topics pertaining to the macroeconomics of finance and its relationship with production, trade, and sustainable growth. In other words, given post-pandemic recovery and de-globalization, we will focus on the role of FDI, foreign and domestic capital, and credit constraints in sustainable production and inclusive growth. The management of, and risk involved in, undertaking financial decisions for distressed firms are important issues for macroeconomic performance that also affect the firm-level or micro-level dimensions of economy. Not only this, but aspects such as governance, ESG, CSR, and political stability must be considered in the volatility of investments and perceived risk factors. We invite papers focusing on the interplay among these issues. We encourage the submission of papers focusing on these and related issues; they will undergo an efficient blind peer review/refereeing process so that publication quality is ensured on a fast-track basis.  

We are soliciting manuscripts on the above themes, as this is a fertile research area, with potential for many high-quality papers. Authors will be provided with timely feedback after the double-blind peer review process. The purpose of this Special Issue is to bring together scholars so that further research can lead to groundbreaking work on these or related topics. Original contributions—theoretical, empirical, or a mixture of both—are welcome. Papers can build upon established or existing frameworks, but with valued added in order to promote ideas for future research. We also encourage critical reviews of existing papers, as meta-analyses can open up new research areas. Developing methodological frameworks, new theoretical insights, novel empirical ideas, and sound research is encouraged.

This is the second volume of the Special Issue "Sustainable Production: Finance, Technology, and Institutional Quality." The first volume has already been published, and we now invite further contributions to continue and expand this important conversation. We intend to publish this volume with a quick turnaround and will give preference to articles using Data Science/ML-AI. Communications are also welcome, with a suggested minimum word count of 2000 words.
