Summary: This regional report critically analyzes the historical Colombia-Ecuador border issues using a PESL (political, economic, social, and legal) lens, extended in PESTLE, considering this a strategic planning approach, which includes the additional aspects of Legal and Environmental. Most studies of this region focus on terror, drug trafficking, and illegal border crossing, but other problems in this region remain understudied. Our review shows that, apart from the political issues, some social (gender-based violence), economic (unemployment), and legal issues (forced illicit activities) are prevalent in this border region. Mutual effective measures and policy actions are recommended to both the Colombian and Ecuadorian governments to improve border security issues, enhance economic activities, and mitigate social and environmental losses.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between capital structure, firms' performance, and market imperfections using data from 56 stock exchange-listed companies in Jordan from 2012 to 2016. The results support the stewardship theory, pecking order theory, and concentrated ownership theory. Monetary instruments play a role in diffusing the recessionary phase in a country. The findings reveal a U-shaped relationship between debt and Tobin's Q when considering the country's per capita income as a mediator. On the other hand, an inverted U-shaped relationship is found between market capitalization and a firm's performance when considering the intervention of domestic credit provided by the financial sector.

Summary: Green digital marketing promotes ethical purchases and urges businesses to enhance sustainability through digital channels. However, the growing demand for internet technology in Asia has negative environmental impacts. This study examines the effects of e-commerce on the environment in five developed Asian nations from 1990 to 2020 using PMG-ARDL and fixed effect models. The findings indicate that online shopping has a positive short-term effect on carbon emissions but a negative long-term impact. R&D spending and trade-in services contribute to long-term emission increases, while shorter-term reductions are attributed to trade-in services. Economic growth, e-commerce, renewable energy demand, and service trade are projected to have the greatest influence on carbon emissions in the next decade, according to variance decomposition analysis (VDA). To improve environmental quality, it is recommended to increase investment in R&D, subsidize eco-friendly e-commerce projects, and establish targets for renewable energy development.
