The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of investment support on labour productivity in Lithuanian family farms. This issue is of particular importance when appraising whether the investment support has had the anticipated effects. Propensity score matching is employed to quantify the average treatment effect on the treated farms.

China’s remarkable economic growth during the past four decades has resulted in a number of environmental problems. However, very few studies have addressed the interactive impact of both income and air pollution on public health. Thus, an innovative contribution of this paper is to test whether household income growth (HIG) can mitigate the health risks resulting from air pollution in China

This paper investigates a novel induced aggregation Euclidean distance operator and its application in intuitionistic fuzzy multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problem concerning the robot selection. First, this study extends the roles of order-inducing variables by introducing a weighted induced Euclidean ordered weighted averaging distance (WIEOWAD) operator.
As biased policies lead to low efficiency of resource allocation and waste, this study compares the operating environment of state-and non-state-owned enterprises, and confirms the distortion of human capital distribution in these two types of enterprises caused by biased policies.
The knowledge age greatly shaped society’s understanding of what goes beyond the agribusiness and sharply raised the question of farmers’ responsibilities on the way they do farming in relation to the payments they receive as public support.
