Sustainable Development Goal 1 (SDG 1) acknowledges the need for broader approaches to measuring and addressing poverty, going beyond income-based metrics to include multiple social and economic dimensions. This article analyses the evolution of multidimensional poverty across European Union countries between 2015 and 2023, using 11 indicators linked to SDG 1. The benefit of the doubt (BoD) method is employed to construct a composite index with endogenously determined weights, allowing for cross-country comparisons that account for national specificities. The findings reveal distinct regional patterns: Northern and Western European countries, such as Finland and the Czech Republic, demonstrated stronger performance, while Southern and Eastern European countries continued to face persistent vulnerabilities.","PeriodicalId":47546,"journal":{"name":"Manchester School","volume":"94 3","pages":"296-308"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/manc.70030","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147715223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results reveal that firms gravitate toward adopting a cooperative full non-commitment structure in scenarios where network externalities are weak. Their rationale lies in their inability to effectively counteract potential price reductions that could result from any form of commitment. When facing moderate network externalities within a Bertrand competition framework, the preference for cooperative full non-commitment persists, whereas, in Cournot competition, firms cooperatively opt for partial commitment. This choice aims to strike a delicate balance between stimulating demand expansion and mitigating significant price reduction, ultimately leading to a collusive outcome. Under strong network externalities, the cooperative partial commitment is chosen regardless of the competition mode, albeit with a lower commitment level observed in Bertrand competition. The paper's analysis notably emphasizes the convergence of Cournot, Bertrand, and collusive outcomes, especially when significant network externalities are at play. Strikingly, the model uncovers a commitment paradox in which the same full commitment structure can either promote aggressive competition under regulatory intervention or entrench monopoly power when adopted through collusion. This underscores the crucial necessity for robust regulatory oversight, particularly in the digital age, where algorithms play pivotal roles in shaping cooperative commitment strategies.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47546,"journal":{"name":"Manchester School","volume":"94 2","pages":"249-266"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146155155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We demonstrate that Bertrand (price-quantity) competition emerges when both levels of FPO and product substitutability are low (high), which proves detrimental (beneficial) to society. Compared to the case where R&D decisions are not involved, we find that the possibility that the socially desirable equilibrium (i.e., price-quantity competition) appears becomes larger under R&D competition. Finally, when the FPO level is low but the product substitutability is high, welfare enhancement attributed to the privatization of a public firm can be more constrained under R&D investment. Our findings suggest that antitrust agencies should monitor not only the FPO level but also R&D-engaged firms' coordination on the competition mode, while it is socially beneficial to encourage R&D investment when the FPO level is high, rather than privatizing the integrated public firm.","PeriodicalId":47546,"journal":{"name":"Manchester School","volume":"94 2","pages":"234-248"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/manc.70019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146154960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper uses the establishment of public data open platforms in Chinese cities as a quasi-natural experiment and conducts an empirical analysis using panel data from 280 cities from 2006 to 2021, employing a multi-period difference-in-differences model to examine whether public data openness can improve GTFP. The study finds that public data openness significantly enhances GTFP, and this conclusion is robust to a battery of robustness tests. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that pilot policies have a stronger effect on improving GTFP in cities with non-resource-based economies, high levels of digital economy development, and strong innovation and entrepreneurship capabilities. Mechanism analysis indicates that public data openness can improve GTFP by promoting urban green technology innovation and optimizing the energy consumption structure. The research conclusions are of great significance for relevant departments in formulating public data policies and energy utilization strategies.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47546,"journal":{"name":"Manchester School","volume":"94 2","pages":"204-217"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146148179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aims to fill this void in the literature by investigating the association between AfT flows and the probability of joining the WTO. The panel dataset includes 50 economies of which 29 economies that acceded to the WTO under the so-called (WTO Article XII) and 21 NonWTO Members (that act as a control group), with data spanning the period from 2002 to 2021. The empirical analysis has used the random effects logit model, and established that an increase in total AfT flows is associated with a higher probability of joining the WTO. This positive association is primarily driven by AfT interventions that help reduce trade costs, especially AfT for economic infrastructure (that affect the most the probability of WTO entry), followed by AfT flows for trade policy and regulation. The positive asssociation between AfT flows for productive capacities and the WTO entry is significant only at the 10% level. Finally, the magnitude of the positive relationship between total AfT flows and the probability of acceding to the WTO is larger, the lower the real per capita income of developing economies. Relatively advanced developing economies experience no significant association between total AfT flows and the probability of WTO entry. The study, therefore, underlines the critical role that AfT flows may play in easing the WTO accession for developing economies.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47546,"journal":{"name":"Manchester School","volume":"94 2","pages":"181-203"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146155065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
