This paper advances a dual-scale management perspective to integrate these two approaches and clarify their interaction mechanisms and economic effects, particularly in land-scarce, smallholder-dominant economies. The review traces the evolution of scale management from a land-centered concept toward a broader framework of coordinated factor allocation, emphasizing that land expansion alone does not guarantee efficiency gains under conditions of land fragmentation, labor scarcity, and imperfect factor markets. It synthesizes evidence on the determinants and performance effects of land and service scale management, highlighting their heterogeneous impacts on production efficiency, income level and distribution. Then the review conceptualizes land and service scales as complementary and mutually reinforcing: land expansion stabilizes service demand, while service specialization reduces the cost and risk of land expansion by substituting fixed capital with flexible service inputs. Emerging evidence suggests that dual-scale management can outperform single-scale strategies through efficiency improvements and improved risk-return balancing, conditional on effective coordination. Overall, the review reframes agricultural scale management as a coupled land-service system rather than a one-dimensional process of land expansion.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Surveys","volume":"40 4","pages":"2026-2036"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696647","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}

As a lesser-known policy, the mechanism of UFP demands serious attention. Hence, this paper presents a comprehensive literature review on UFP. The main objectives are to: (1) synthesize the existing body of research, (2) outline the theoretical underpinnings, (3) examine the key transmission channels including inflation expectations, income and wealth effects, redistributive channel, and uncertainty channels, (4) identify major challenges, and (5) propose future research directions. Our review highlights that UFP is budget-neutral and the inflation expectation channel is the primary channel through which UFP affects consumption. Further, our review identified key challenges in the empirical assessment of UFP, including the need for accurate measurement, noise in the survey data, heterogeneity in inflation expectations, and marginal propensity to consume, as well as the presence of reverse causality, the choice between intertemporal versus intratemporal substitutions, and the role of past inflation. Finally, our study reveals promising avenues for future research.

It allows participating health care facilities—most of which are hospitals—to purchase drugs filled at in-house or contracted external pharmacies at discounts from manufacturers. Hospitals argue that these discounts are critical to their provision of charity care and unprofitable service lines. However, with 340B purchases now comprising over 13% of prescription drug sales, drug manufacturers argue that the program has grown beyond its original intent. These manufacturers have responded to the rapid growth in contract pharmacies by enacting restrictions on distribution that in turn led to a flurry of lawsuits and legislative activity. Given the 340B program's size, importance, and role in ongoing policy debates, it is perhaps surprising that it has received very little attention in economics journals. Our paper reviews the scholarly literature on the 340B program, with an eye for the gaps in this literature that economics research can help fill. In particular, economists’ causal inference econometric toolkit and theoretical insights can help improve our understanding of 340B's impacts and lead to more informed policy decisions.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Surveys","volume":"40 4","pages":"2129-2145"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148695751","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}

We limit the search of the Web of Science Core Collection database to business economics studies. Drawing on 573 publication records sourced from the database, this study shows that most published palm oil research supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals for “<i>No Poverty</i>”, “<i>Zero Hunger</i>”, and “<i>Climate Action</i>”. Our aim is not only to pinpoint significant authors, notable journals, leading countries, and influential articles within the palm oil area, but also to intellectually identify research streams in the area over the past 54 years. Our analysis reveals three prominent research streams of palm oil sustainability: (1) connection between palm oil production and environmental development; (2) connection between palm oil price and economic fundamental; and (3) connection between palm oil trading and market transition. In addition, the study develops the integrative conceptual framework for future research in economics and finance, which devotes to ecological finance, asymmetric price transmission, and futures market dynamics.
