Coastline attracts people for recreational, residential, entrepreneurial, and industrial activity, resulting in a worldwide phenomenon of coastalization – the shift to the coasts. The proximity to marine coasts is, therefore, a competitive advantage and a development resource for coastal regions around the globe. However, the efficient use of coastal economic-geographical position depends on the numerous external and internal factors, and requires, firstly, a functional delimitation of the coastal zone, and, secondly, an integrated coastal zone management. This article studies the relationship between the proximity to the seacoast and the development of the tourism sector. The aim is to identify the geographical boundaries of using the seaside position in the interest of tourism development; in other words, we identify the functional boundaries of the coastal zone associated with tourist attractions. The research area covers two Russian regions located on the Baltic Sea (Kaliningrad Oblast) and the Sea of Japan (Primorsky Krai). The findings reveal that the optimal zone for developing coastal tourism is within a 10km of the sea, with the most preferable zone extending no further than 1km from the coast. The density of tourist attractions has a positive correlation with the concentration of service sector facilities and infrastructure.

Construction is a leading industry sector of the Russian national economy, which is essential for the expansion of fixed assets, the structural restructuring of the economy, and the development of human well-being. The main feature of the construction industry is the variety of organizational and economic forms of the construction production process, a large number of participants with various functional goals and objectives, and the significant dependence of the construction production process on natural conditions. The economic potential, possessed by construction enterprises, should be used effectively. This is the main task of management. At the same time, the use of economic potential is fraught with risks. Their identification is included in the scope of economic analysis. To assess the risks in the use of economic potential, it is subdivided into resource, production and financial. Each of them has its own system of indicators. As a risk assessment method, a statistical one based on the calculation of the coefficient of variation was chosen. The values of the coefficients of variation help to determine the risk zone: allowed, critical or catastrophic. The identification of risk zones is the purpose of this article. Obtaining information on the risk category contributes making management decisions.

This paper analyzes long-term effects of skilled-worker immigration on productivity for the Huguenot migration to Prussia. In 1685, religiously persecuted French Huguenots settled in Brandenburg-Prussia and compensated for population losses due to plagues during the Thirty Years' War. We combine Huguenot immigration lists from 1700 with Prussian firm-level data on the value of inputs and outputs in 1802 in a unique database to analyze the effects of skilled immigration to places with underused economic potential. Exploiting this settlement pattern in an instrumental-variable approach, we find substantial long-term effects of Huguenot settlement on the productivity of textile manufactories.

This paper aimed at assessing the technical and economic potential of using rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in Lithuanian urban areas to support energy and climate policy formation and its implementation in the country. A bottom-up approach was applied. A number of apartment (AP), commercial (COM) and public (PUB) buildings, electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructures and solar PV systems in the largest Lithuanian cities were analyzed, and the results were tailored to national-wide estimates. LiDAR and photogrammetry data of building topologies, geographical information systems (GIS), digital maps for rooftop measurements, factual solar photovoltaic (PV) performance modeling, average profiles of solar PV systems, statistical data of energy consumption in buildings, levelized cost of energy (LCOE) models and the literature review method were used. The results of the assessment of selected buildings and their categories reveal that the rooftop area per installed PV unit was 14.1–18.3 m2/kW in AP buildings, followed by 18.0–18.6 m2/kW in COM and 6.1–18.3 m2/kW in PUB buildings; the factor of rooftop suitability for solar PV system installation varied in ranges of 31.5–85.4%, 48.9–99.4% and 50.1–88.2%, respectively. Corrected by expert judgement, these estimates served as inputs for the assessment of technical and economic potentials. Furthermore, energy generated by solar PV could be consumed locally with little supplied to the distribution grid, resulting in no or a limited need for expensive investments in infrastructure. In addition, locating an EV charger on the premises of COM or PUB buildings could improve the localized consumption of solar energy. Thus, rooftop solar PV systems in urban Lithuanian areas are preferable. The results of the technical potential analysis show that, on the rooftops of AP buildings, 272 MW could be installed, followed by 78 MW on roofs of PUB and 67 MW on COM buildings. If technical potential is extracted, EUR 332.7 million can be invested. The cost of energy produced by solar PV systems was estimated at 2.34–5.25 EURct/kWh, which is significantly lower than the prices of market and retail electricity, standing at 23 EURct/kWh and 24 EURct/kWh (with support from the government) in 2022, respectively. The research’s limitations are defined by the fact that average values were applied to estimate the technical and economic potential of rooftop solar PV systems; a limited number of building categories were analyzed; the category of private houses, which is minor in cities, was missed, and rural areas with a great number of private houses were not covered by this study.

The aim of the article is to study the content of the economic potential of enterprise, its structure and features of formation. In the context of dynamic changes in the national and world economy, the problems of socioeconomic development of the enterprise are becoming more and more relevant. These issues are also inextricably linked to the potential of the enterprise, in particular, its economic potential. Based on the results of the carried out analysis of existing studies, it is determined that the economic potential is considered as a set of resources, as well as the possibilities of using these resources to achieve goals and ensure development. In addition, researchers in this context talk about the ability to make a profit and the maximum possible output. The carried out analysis of the existing approaches to the interpretation of the content of the economic potential of enterprise and its structure allowed to conclude that it is a rather complicated, complex, dynamic system of all types of resources and capabilities of enterprise, also this system’s ability to effectively use them to achieve the set goals and ensure sustainable development of the enterprise in the long run. Based on the results of the analysis of approaches to determining the essence and components of economic potential, it is proposed to consider it taking into account the temporal and spatial characteristics. The primary component of the economic potential is its resource component, which contains all the resources of the enterprise and reflects the results of its past activities. The ability of an enterprise to effectively use the accumulated resources is reflected in its current potential, and the ability to ensure sustainable development is reflected in its strategic potential.

This paper presents an analysis of mortgage delinquency between 2004 and 2008 using a loan-level data set from a major national mortgage bank. Our analysis highlights two problems underlying the mortgage crisis: a reliance on mortgage brokers who tend to originate lowerquality loans and a prevalence of low-documentation loans—known in the industry as \"liar's loans\"—that result in borrower information falsification. While over three-quarters of the difference in delinquency rates between bank and broker channels can be attributed to observable loan and borrower characteristics, the delinquency difference between full-and low-documentation mortgages is due to unobservable heterogeneity, about half of it potentially due to income falsification.

The technological properties of BC milk, focusing on its heat stability, coagulation behavior, and potential for product development, are examined. The review also addresses current processing techniques and their impact on milk quality. Finally, the economic potential and future perspectives of BC milk in China are evaluated. This review provides valuable insights into the multifaceted aspects of BC milk, serving as a foundation for future research and development in this emerging field. The motivation for this review stems from the growing interest in BC milk as a functional food and the need for a comprehensive understanding of its properties, applications, and market potential to guide future research and industry development.

Online reviews play a significant role in forming and shaping perceptions about a product. With the credibility of online reviewers a frequent question, this research investigates how potential buyers assess the credibility of anonymous reviewers. Technology separates the reviewer from the review, and potential buyers are left to rely on characteristics of the review itself to determine the credibility of the reviewer. By extending the language expectancy theory to the online setting, we develop hypotheses about how expectancy violations of lexical complexity, two-sidedness (highlighting positive and negative aspects of a product), and affect intensity influence credibility attributions. We present an experiment in which favorable experimental reviews were generated based on actual reviews for a digital camera. The results indicate that two-sidedness caused a positive expectancy violation resulting in greater credibility attribution. High affect intensity caused a negative expectancy violation resulting in lower credibility attribution. Finally, high reviewer credibility significantly improved perceptions of product quality. Our results demonstrate the importance of expectancies and violations when attributing credibility to anonymous individuals. Even small expectancy violations can meaningfully influence reviewer credibility and perceptions of products.

At the current stage of global economic transformations, the issues of restructuring the economies of countries around the world are extremely important. These issues are particularly relevant in the context of a changing, unstable external environment and crisis situations worldwide. For Ukraine, economic restructuring should become one of the strategic tasks of post-wartime reconstruction and State development, ensuring the resilience of the economic system. Experts assert that Ukraine’s economic system continues its transformation under conditions of global instability, geopolitical challenges, and internal structural changes. Notably, the most significant structural changes have been observed in recent years in sectors such as agriculture (the transition from a raw material model to the production of finished goods with high added value); the IT industry (a strategic direction for service exports); and energy (the shift towards decarbonization and green energy); defense-industrial complex (strengthening of innovative potential); transport and logistics complex (development of modern transport and logistics infrastructure), etc. It should be noted that new challenges, risks, external threats, and crisis phenomena affecting the structural transformations of the national economy require the search for and substantiation of the theoretical and methodological approaches to determining the priority areas for restructuring the economy and developing relevant instruments and applied recommendations for their implementation in practice. Therefore, this study is dedicated to analyzing the relationship between restructuring and the country’s economy using a bibliometric approach. The aim of the article is to identify trends and key research directions on the restructuring of the country’s economy based on bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer software. It is found that the restructuring of the country’s economy is primarily viewed from the perspectives of systemic, innovative, circular, and strategic approaches. This, in turn, requires the formation of a fundamentally new economic model based on strategic, innovative, green, digital, and security principles. The results of the research will provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state and future prospects of research on the restructuring of the country’s economy. This, in turn, may assist in identifying priority measures to stabilize the socioeconomic situation during martial law, as well as in formulating a more effective strategy for the recovery of Ukraine’s economy in the post-wartime period.

The paper investigates resource, technical, economic and market potential of solar energy and its ecology and economic efficiency in Azerbaijan. The authors have distinguished six regions in the territory of Azerbaijan with different levels of solar radiation. The resource potential of the regions is calculated by the AutoCad program. As well, technical and economic potential was calculated by special methodology. The authors concluded that Azerbaijan has so much solar energy resource potential and it is possible to replace traditional carbon types of energy with solar energy, even by using the modern technical equipment. However, it is impossible because of economic disadvantages and very low electricity prices. The price of 1 kWh electricity from carbon fuels is several times cheaper than 1 kWh electricity from solar energy. That is why it is difficult to attract investments to develop solar power. There is a necessity to develop a new electricity price policy to stimulate attractiveness of solar power for households and industry.
