Title: The Relationship between Accounting Disclosure, Financial Reports and Stock Returns: The Moderated Role of Ownership Concentration 
Abstract: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between accounting disclosure and stock returns in its first model. The second model examined the role of ownership concentration as a moderator variable in this relationship, using a sample of Jordanian service companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange from 2018 to 2021. The final sample consisted of 440 firm observations over four years. The study found a positive and statistically significant relationship between accounting disclosure and stock returns. Moreover, the concentration of ownership was found to have a positive effect on this relationship, indicating that it contributes to improving stock returns by enhancing the effectiveness of accounting disclosure. By introducing the moderated role of ownership concentration, the study made a valuable contribution to the field. The study also provided recommendations to Jordanian companies, urging them to adopt public policies and mechanisms that enhance disclosure and move towards digital disclosure to keep up with evolving financial statement presentation methods.

Title: The Role of the Board of Directors in Promoting Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure: Evidence from Jordan
Abstract: The topic of board of directors and corporate social responsibility is critical in developing nations like Jordan and studies on this subject in emerging economies like Jordan remain produced inconsistent results. This study aims to explore the effect of board of director characteristics (e.g., board independence, size, gender, experience, education level and nationality of board members) on the CSR disclosures and its dimensions comprise (environment, community, employee, and product) in Jordanian industrial firms. The study's sample consisted of 210 firm-year observations from Jordanian industrial firms from 2018 to 2022. The study used secondary data gathered from the firms' annual reports and their websites. Using panel fixed-effect regression, the findings show that the disclosure of corporate social responsibility is significantly influenced by the board's independence, size, and education level. These results support theories and arguments in the literature that companies with larger, more education boards and independent directors disclose more corporate social responsibility.

Title: Retail Financing in the High Inflationary Era
Abstract: Retail financing was part of the Hungarian debt management framework even before the millennium but it only gained momentum after 2012. As FX debt reduction became a strategic goal of the economic policy after the Great Financial Crisis such as the financial inclusion of households, widening the retail investor base and boosting the sales of retail debt securities with competitive yields and higher publicity was an obvious choice. Currently, more than 20% of the Hungarian public debt is in household ownership, indicating the need for careful monitoring of retail debt and also different challenges as experienced in the previous years when, while combatting their impacts on the wholesale market and financing costs, the high inflation and interest rates rearranged the retail debt as well. This paper aims to present the evolution of the Hungarian retail debt programme, its importance in public debt financing and how the high inflation and interest rate environment affected the behavior of retail investors. Also, the paper assesses a what-if analysis that was conducted to estimate the real cost effect of the retail debt programme as it is often considered an expensive form of funding.

Title: Techno-economic Assessment of Wind Energy Storage Technologies via Decision-Making Modelling
Abstract: Wind energy storage technologies should be improved by taking appropriate actions. However, all improvements increase the operational costs for the companies. Therefore, the most essential criteria should be identified to implement these actions efficiently. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to understand the key issues for wind energy storage technologies. For this situation, a new model is established by using DEMATEL and TOPSIS techniques. Firstly, selected indicators are weighted via DEMATEL. Secondly, emerging seven economies are ranked with the help of TOPSIS. Hence, the main contribution of this study to the literature is that prior strategies can be identified for the improvements of the wind energy storage technologies by creating a new model. The results of this study can pave the way for the investors to increase the effectiveness of these projects. The findings indicate that technological development is the most critical issue for the performance improvements of the wind energy storage technologies. Durable materials and storage capacity are other critical factors for the development of these technologies. It is also stated that durable material is the most influencing factor since it affects all other criteria. On the other hand, storage capacity is the most influenced determinants because it is affected from all other items. In addition to them, it is also concluded that China is the most successful country with respect to the wind energy storage technology performance. Russia is another important emerging country in this framework.

Title: Changes in inter-organisational cooperation networks due to digitalisation in the insurance industry
Abstract: The aim of this study is to empirically identify how the structure of inter-organisational collaboration is changing in today's increasingly digitalised insurance industry.Traditionally, inter-organisational relationships in the insurance industry have been vertically integrated, mainly with major insurance companies. With the advent of digitalisation, the areas covered by insurance, such as disease prevention, are expanding through the linkage of various big data. It can be inferred that the structure of cooperation between related organisations and their core organisations is changing accordingly.As a research method, this study analysed information on actual inter-organisational relations using the method of social network analysis. The linkage network structure of the organisations that are expanding inter-organisational cooperation was then analysed.The results of the analysis show that the organisations that are expanding inter-organisational cooperation have an open and mediated network structure.It was shown that inter-organisational relations in the insurance industry may be shifting from a vertically integrated structure to a platform type, similar to the IT industry.

Title: The Influence of Working Capital on Profitability: Evidence of Listed Companies in Thailand Market for Alternative Investment (MAI)
Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between working capital management and profitability on the Market for Alternative Investment (MAI) in Thailand?s capital market. The general objective of MAI is compatible to the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) which is to act as a capital market for various businesses, but this market is focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and innovation. From existing literature reviews, we select five factors including receivables collection period, inventory conversion period, payable deferral period, cash conversion cycle and current ratio as explanatory variables. At the time, firm size and debt ratio are assigned as controllable variables.  While return on invested capital (ROIC), a dependent variable is employed as proxy for profitability. This study uses secondary data collected from annual financial statements of companies in MAI index for the period of 10 years from 2014-2023. After examining the data, only 826 samples are qualified under the criteria. The multiple regression model is implemented for statistical testing at the significant level 0.05. The results indicate a negative significant relationship between the receivable collection period and payable deferral period with profitability. This model is supported with R2 of 0.144. We also observe that all types of MAI firms can increase their profitability by shortening the receivable collection period and curtailing the payable deferral period. The findings in this study can assist investors or managers to comprehend the effect of specific determinants to the SME?s profitability in Thailand.

Title: Determinant of Brand Happiness and Self-Green Brand Congruity as Moderator: A Conceptual Paper
Abstract: As the importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices continues to rise in the modern business landscape, understanding their impact on consumer behavior has become a key focus of marketing research. This conceptual paper proposes a framework that examines the determinants of brand happiness within the context of ESG initiatives, with a specific emphasis on Self-Green Brand Congruity (SGBC) as a moderating factor. Building on the foundations of Self-Congruity Theory and the emerging relevance of ESG, this study predicts that brands that align their sustainability efforts with consumer values are more likely to foster positive emotional responses, such as brand happiness. Furthermore, it is proposed that SGBC enhances the strength of the relationship between ESG practices and brand happiness, particularly among consumers with a strong ESG identity. Based on this conceptual framework, research propositions are developed to guide future empirical investigations.

Title: MONETARY POLICY EFFICIENCY IN CURBING POST-COVID-19 INFLATION
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic led to unconventional monetary policies, such as large-scale asset purchases and near-zero interest rates, which contributed to rising inflation. As inflation increased, central banks responded by tightening policies, including raising interest rates to reduce money supply. This study evaluates the effectiveness of these measures in controlling inflation during the post-pandemic recovery, focusing on the European Union and the United States. It examines the relationship between M2 monetary aggregates and inflation, using the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP). Granger causality tests on data from January 2018 to July 2024 show a significant causal link between M2 and inflation, highlighting the importance of interest rate adjustments in managing inflation.

Title: Analyzing and Predicting R&D Collaboration Networks in the Metaverse Industry
Abstract: Innovation ecosystems have become an indispensable element in the growth strategy of firms in various industries. In the birth stage of innovation ecosystem, it is important for firms to assess technological positions of various actors in the innovation ecosystem to support decisions on external R&D collaboration. This research integrates semantic analysis and bibliometric analysis for predicting evolving collaboration patterns and predict collaboration potential. Semantic analysis applies the context-aware deep learning framework based on BERT [14] to analyze unstructured patent data and evaluate technological similarity between individual firms. In addition, biblio-metric analysis uses patent indicators related to technological capabilities and potential technology synergy of individual firms. Then, the  deep neural network (DNN) approach is used to learn the relationships between descriptive features and collaboration potentials as target feature. Our findings suggest that the metaverse innovation ecosystem remains in its nascent stages, with the collaborative network still being sparse. The illustrative example reveals that recommended candidate partners often align with or resemble past partners from prior periods. This suggests that the pro-posed deep learning approach is capable of predicting collaborative relationships between various firms.

Title: The Impact of Digital Finance on the High-quality development of Manufacturing Industry: Evidence from China
Abstract: In order to explore the impact of digital finance on the high-quality development of manufacturing industry, this paper uses data from 30 provinces in China from 2012 to 2021, and uses a multiple intermediary effect model to empirically study the mechanism and path of digital finance promoting the high-quality development of manufacturing industry. The research reveals that the eastern provinces of China are leading in the high-quality development index of the manufacturing industry from a spatial dimension. Looking at the temporal dimension, the overall level of high-quality development in the manufacturing industry in each province is showing an increasing trend, with the eastern region demonstrating the most significant upward trend. Empirical research has found that digital finance plays a significant catalytic role in the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, with an impact coefficient of 0.032. Furthermore, digital finance can enhance the level of high-quality development in the Chinese manufacturing industry through three pathways: industrial upgrading, optimization of resource allocation, and environmental regulation.

Title:  Financial Risk-Oriented Analyses in the Scheduling of Multi-Energy Microgrids
Abstract: The present study investigates a multi-objective strategy for scheduling Multi-Energy Microgrids (MEMs) with Power to X (P2X) conversion technology in advance. The P2X technology serves as the fundamental framework for these microgrids, incorporating multiple energy conversion systems and diverse energy storage technologies to optimize efficiency. The primary objective is to reduce operational expenses, mitigate risks, and decrease carbon emissions. Two risk management tools, namely Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) and a robust approach, are recommended to address the financial risks involved in MEM's scheduling. The study results for the considered microgrid imply that an operator's adoption of a risk-neutral approach necessitates procuring a substantial portion of power from the day-ahead electricity market. In addition, implementing a risk-averse strategy by a MEM operator results in diminished participation in the energy market through reduced bidding and an increased overall presence in the real-time market.
