This paper investigates the factors influencing blockchain adoption and its impact on firm performance using a panel dataset of NASDAQ-listed companies. Drawing on the Resource-Based View and Transaction Cost Theory, we employ an Endogenous Treatment Effects model to address self-selection bias. The results reveal that organisational capabilities, such as firm size and sales growth, enable blockchain adoption, while intangible intensity and capital expenditure intensity act as barriers. Industry-wide adoption shows limited influence, suggesting underdeveloped network effects. Blockchain adoption significantly improves operational performance, as measured by Return on Assets (ROA), but has no significant effect on Tobin’s Q, a market-based performance measure. This result highlights investor scepticism and delayed value realisation. The study argues for strategic communication to bridge this perception gap and calls for policy initiatives to address adoption barriers and promote blockchain’s widespread implementation.

This paper comprehensively reviews how innovation and growth are modelled in theoretical and empirical literature. We distinguish between economic modelling (microfounded) and econometric modelling (ad hoc). The two modelling approaches are complementary to each other for their comparative advantages in causality identification and forecasting performance. Popular models of the two approaches are illustrated and compared. We also propose an eclectic approach to combine the two approaches in one analysis framework. Full article

The contamination of water resources has become a significant challenge that threatens the health and well-being of people’s daily life; it calls for new technologies to be applied for water purification. Heterogeneous Fenton or Fenton-like techniques have a lot of potential as a new approach for treating wastewater because of the advantages in efficiency, safety, and economics. Various advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are comprehensively reviewed in this work, and the •OH generation methods including chemical, electro-chemical, and photochemical approaches are summarized. Some key parameters that influence the reaction efficiency such as the temperature, catalysts, H2O2 dosage, and pH are investigated. The reaction mechanism and process optimization of photocatalysis are specifically highlighted. Full article
