Analysis of the Spatiotemporal Differentiation and Influencing Factors of Land Use Efficiency in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Urban Agglomeration by Haixin Huang, Jiageng Yang

“…The results show that (1) from 2005 to 2020, the ULUE of the BTH urban agglomeration had an initial rise followed by a decline; however, the overall efficiency score is above 1, suggesting an overall effective state; (2) a distribution pattern with Beijing as its core was established, exhibiting greater ULUE in the northern region and poorer efficiency in the southern region, with significant correlation characteristics in efficiency values between adjacent cities; and (3) capital input, labor input, social welfare, and ecological environment are all influencing factors that promote the improvement in ULUE in the BTH region, and the interaction of any two factors explains the ULUE in this region better than a single factor. …”

Behavioral Biases in Investor Decision-Making: A Comparative Meta-Analysis of Behavioral Finance Research by Seyed Amir Sabet, Saeed Aibaghi esfahani, Abdolmajid Abdolbaghi Ataabadi

“…This study synthesizes research on twelve key biases through meta-analysis, confirming their significant impact across markets, where cognitive biases include overconfidence (overestimating knowledge), anchoring (relying on initial reference points), herd behavior (following crowds), representativeness (using stereotypes over data), availability heuristic (overweighting recent information), and mental accounting (categorizing money subjectively), while emotional biases feature loss aversion (fearing losses more than valuing gains), regret aversion (avoiding potential regret), self-attribution (blaming failures on externals), optimism bias (overestimating success), and self-control issues (failing long-term planning). …”
