Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the intersection of public affairs, economic policy, and governance, with a particular focus on financial markets, digital governance, and sustainable development. Articles examine topics such as the impact of household finance on gold prices, citizen trust in algorithm-assisted decision-making, the integration of ecosystem services into urban planning, and the effects of quantitative easing on different age groups. Other themes include financial inclusion and social welfare, the drivers of retail investment decisions, the relationship between digital citizenship and political culture, and the influence of governance quality on tax revenue performance. The journal also covers HR practices and employee well-being in public sectors, the dynamics of borrowing costs and financial stress, climate change impacts on resource rents, and the effectiveness of participatory governance programs.
