By examining both happiness and corruption perceptions as two opposite indicators, the research reveals that ESG impacts vary across income levels and quantiles, with low-income nations being less influenced, indicating that some infrastructures are more vital than ESG. Using quantile and panel threshold regression, the study uncovers asymmetric effects of ESG-related practices (e.g., land surface temperature, renewable energy output, internet, and access to electricity), and identifies nonlinear relationships—such as U-shaped and inverted U-shaped patterns—between ESG indices and happiness or corruption. These findings expose a “too-much-of-a-good-thing” phenomenon and reinforce the nuanced role of ESG in sustainable development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48419,"journal":{"name":"Economic Modelling","volume":"152 ","pages":"Article 107277"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144925433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings show that access to credit reduces the efficiency gap by up to 26 %, mainly by alleviating capital market distortions. Effects are stronger among farms with lower productivity and increase when land market frictions are removed. The results highlight the structural importance of credit in improving allocative efficiency and reveal heterogeneity in policy impact across the productivity distribution. Evidence suggests that credit interventions are more effective when land market institutions are functional, underscoring the need for integrated policy design to enhance productivity in rural economies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48419,"journal":{"name":"Economic Modelling","volume":"152 ","pages":"Article 107267"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144893858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel mechanism is introduced where declining fertility can intensify the caregiving burden, as individuals have fewer siblings to share responsibility. The dual care duties can affect career choices between regular and non-regular employment, with the latter enabling more time for caregiving duties. Using an overlapping generations framework, the model identifies two possible long-run equilibria: one with full regular employment and another with a mix of regular and non-regular workers. A high training time cost or long unpaid work requirement can push the economy toward the latter equilibrium. Calibrating the model to Japanese data since 1970, I replicate the observed decline in fertility and the regular employment rate.
