It publishes interdisciplinary research that examines how social values, institutions, and behaviors influence economic systems — and how economic dynamics, in turn, shape human life and collective well-being.","Positive Science - Economics is an open-access journal dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research on the dynamic relationship between society and the economy. The journal explores how social structures, cultural values, and collective behaviors shape — and are shaped by — economic systems. It seeks to bridge the gap between quantitative economic analysis and the qualitative understanding of human experience, addressing topics such as economic inequality, sustainability, technological change, governance, and the evolution of social institutions. By integrating insights from economics, sociology, psychology, and political science, Positive Science - Economics provides a platform for innovative theoretical and empirical work that promotes a more inclusive and human-centered vision of economic progress. The journal invites contributions that challenge conventional paradigms and contribute to public understanding and policy debate on the social foundations of the economy.","Economic",[27,28,29,30],"Human","Economics","society","economy",true,"10.65957\u002Fjournal.1","9482-7540","2000.00","99.75","2026-06-01","2026-05-11T13:30:07.091214Z","human_economics_B1057f9a86","\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Positive science - Economics\u003C\u002Fstrong> is a peer-reviewed journal publishing \u003Cstrong>original research articles\u003C\u002Fstrong> across the broad field of economics.

Particularly in developing economies, firms invest in AI technologies to enhance operational performance, strengthen strategic decision-making, and create long-term economic value. However, organisational readiness does not always translate into successful implementation. This study examines the determinants of AI adoption and introduces the concept of the AI Adoption Paradox, where readiness conditions fail to produce corresponding adoption. Using survey data from 410 professionals across knowledge-intensive sectors in Sri Lanka, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was applied. The findings reveal that AI awareness, technological infrastructure, and top management support positively influence AI adoption, while digital skills readiness demonstrates a significant inverse relationship. Organisational culture significantly moderates the relationship between digital skills readiness and AI adoption. The findings suggest that sustainable AI adoption depends not only on readiness, but on an organisation’s ability to convert readiness into behavioural acceptance and strategic economic value.",[194,195,196,197,198,199],"AI adoption","Artificial intelligence","Digital skills readiness","Organisational culture","Technological infrastructure","Top management support","2026-05-21T12:44:03.885232Z","2026-05-21T12:44:12.893804Z",[],[],[27,28,29,30],[],"10.65957\u002Farticle.17",{"id":208,"hash_value":209,"authors":210,"title":215,"source_file":216,"preview":60,"abstract":222,"type_article":223,"journal":6,"keywords":224,"is_openaccess":31,"published":228,"submitted":229,"volume":15,"issue_number":15,"start_page":15,"end_page":15,"subject_classification":230,"full_text_url":15,"other_identifiers":231,"journal_name":10,"journal_hash":38,"journal_issn":15,"journal_eissn":33,"journal_pissn":15,"journal_publisher":70,"journal_doi":32,"journal_is_openaccess":31,"journal_license_url":15,"journal_keywords":232,"journal_languages":233,"cover_image":15,"doi":234},16,"time_series_modeling_and_forecasting_of_nepse_inde_2a7955Db29",[211],{"email":212,"first_name":213,"last_name":214,"affiliation":15},"nichalstha21@gmail.com","Nischal","Shrestha","Time Series Modeling and Forecasting of NEPSE Index: An ARIMA\u002FSARIMA Approach with Market Efficiency Evidence",{"name":217,"size":218,"url":219,"body":15,"storage":16,"debug":220},"published_submission_update_Cf07661f99_manuscriptarima.pdf",344007,"https:\u002F\u002Fpub-85f9e79c9e524559860ded0d3d1ac9a1.r2.dev\u002Ffiles_repository\u002Farticles\u002F2026\u002F05\u002F11\u002Fpublished_submission_update_Cf07661f99_manuscriptarima.pdf",{"storage_class":56,"endpoint_url":57,"bucket_name":58,"original_name":221},"files_repository\u002Farticles\u002F2026\u002F05\u002F11\u002Fpublished_submission_update_Cf07661f99_manuscriptarima.pdf","Forecasting stock market behavior remains an important issue for investors, policymakers, and financial researchers, particularly in emerging markets where market volatility and informational inefficiencies may influence investment decisions. Despite growing interest in forecasting the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) index, existing studies have primarily focused on conventional ARIMA-based approaches without sufficiently incorporating rolling-window out-of-sample evaluation and benchmark comparison within the context of weak-form market efficiency.\nAddressing this gap, the present study examines the forecasting performance of the NEPSE daily closing index using an ARIMA\u002FSARIMA-based time series framework and compares the selected model with a naïve random walk benchmark. The study utilized 1,157 daily observations of the NEPSE index and applied descriptive statistics, Augmented Dickey–Fuller stationarity testing, autocorrelation analysis, SARIMA model selection procedures, residual diagnostic testing, and rolling-window one-step-ahead forecasting techniques. Based on model selection criteria, seasonal structure, and diagnostic adequacy, SARIMA (3,1,0) (2,0,0) [5] was selected as the final forecasting model. The findings revealed that the SARIMA model generated slightly lower forecasting errors than the naïve benchmark during the window evaluation period, although the forecasting gains remained economically modest.\nConsequently, the results are broadly consistent with weak-form market efficiency, suggesting that historical price information provides only a limited predictive advantage in forecasting the NEPSE index. Residual diagnostic analysis further indicated the presence of remaining volatility clustering, implying that future studies may benefit from integrating GARCH-type volatility models. Overall, the study contributes to the growing NEPSE forecasting literature by incorporating rolling-window out-of-sample forecasting and benchmark comparison within a seasonal time series framework. \nKeywords: NEPSE, SARIMA, Stock Market Forecasting, Time Series Analysis, Rolling-Window Forecasting, Weak-Form Market Efficiency.","scientific journal article",[225,226,227],"ARIMA","NEPSE","Forecasting","2026-05-11T20:12:29.132608Z","2026-05-11T20:12:36.114607Z",[],[],[27,28,29,30],[],"10.65957\u002Farticle.16"]
