Summary: In recent years, the acceptance of self-driving cars among consumers has become a major concern for policymakers, researchers, and experts in the automotive industry. Previous studies, based on survey data, have limitations due to biases and time constraints. To overcome this, a test drive was conducted on volunteers, assessing their acceptance of the technology before and after the ride using an adapted version of the UTAUT2 questionnaire, along with neuroscience measurements. The results challenge previous findings by suggesting that acceptance is more related to emotional experience during the ride.

Summary: Vertical farming is a new branch of urban agriculture that uses indoor vertical space and soil-less cultivation technology. Although it has many advantages, it still faces challenges such as high energy consumption, costs, and a lack of social acceptance. This study investigates the influence of public acceptance on micro-vertical farming and finds that age, education level, and living area significantly impact behavioral intentions. The findings highlight the perceived usefulness of vertical farming as the most critical factor driving public adoption.

Summary: The social entrepreneurship literature lacks discussion on financing decisions of social enterprises in contexts where there are no clear legal distinctions between social and commercial enterprises. This research presents findings from a qualitative multiple case study of nine Indian social enterprises in emerging sectors, revealing that financing strategy and investor evaluation criteria reflect social entrepreneurs' value-based self-conceptualization of their own vision of 'What is a Social Enterprise'. The study observes that self-discretion and value expression play a contextual role for social entrepreneurs operating in emerging sectors without clear legal distinctions or theoretical guidance on financing decisions.

Summary: Despite Australia's leading role in exporting strategic commodities, little research has been done on the effects of these exports on stock and currency markets in Australia. This study aims to investigate the volatility connectedness among various commodities and markets, using a combination of different methodologies. The findings suggest that mean-based measures do not accurately capture the effects of spillovers, and certain commodities and assets play a more significant role as shock transmitters. The study provides important insights for market participants in managing price volatility shocks and related risks, particularly during extreme market conditions.

Summary: Organizations are investing in supply chain resilience to cope with disruptions caused by natural disasters, geopolitical crises, and pandemics. The lack of government support has worsened supply chain disruptions in some regions. Digitalization has a positive impact on social inclusion, government accountability, and creating an open environment. However, countries have shown varying degrees of digital responsiveness during the pandemic. This study examines the effect of government support effectiveness and digital capabilities on supply chain resilience using a multi-method approach.

Summary: Unlike previous studies, this paper examines the nonlinear and distributional asymmetric effects of natural resources abundance on energy consumption in Pakistan, considering the effects of economic growth, oil prices, exports diversification, and economic complexity. Using advanced econometric techniques, the authors find that natural resources have a positive contemporaneous effect and a negative one-period lagged effect on energy consumption, leading to a positive cumulative short-run effect. Economic growth and oil prices also contribute to energy consumption, while export diversification does not have a significant impact in the short run. The results suggest that natural resources can be utilized as an economic tool to maintain long-term energy demand for economic growth.

Summary: This article is the first to investigate the moderating effect of bitcoin sentiment indices on the short-term and long-term network connectedness of various US sectors. The study quantifies the relationship between sectoral returns and bitcoin investors' fear and greed sentiment, and examines the impact of these sentiments on network connectedness during pre-Covid-19 and Covid-19. The results show that fear, extreme fear, greed, and extreme greed moderate the volatility spillovers within the network. The article also explores the use of short positioning in US sectoral returns as a hedge against bitcoin sentiment risk.

Summary: This research examines the dynamics of dependence and causality between the S&P Kensho Clean Energy (CE) and Cleantech (CT) indices and two green bond indices, as well as four Islamic bond indices. The study finds that the dependence of CE and CT on Sukuk and green bond indices strengthens in the long and medium term, particularly in normal or bearish market conditions. AA- and A-rated Sukuk indices and Green Bond Select (GBS) indices exhibit stronger dependence with CE and CT compared to other instruments. Furthermore, causality is predominantly observed from Sukuk and bond indices to CT and CE in the frequency domain.
