This paper examines the causal relationship between human capital and economic factors in BRICS countries using a panel vector autoregressive model and data from 1997 to 2020. The economic factors considered include foreign direct investment (FDI), imports, exports, and gross domestic product (GDP). The study conducts a comparative analysis of Brazil, India, China, Russia, and South Africa by adopting a vector autoregressive (VAR) model. The findings indicate a bidirectional causality between human capital and FDI in China, while a unidirectional causality from FDI to human capital is observed in Brazil. Moreover, a unidirectional causality exists from human capital to GDP in Brazil, Russia, India, and South Africa. Additionally, a unidirectional causality is found from human capital to imports and exports in South Africa. Overall, the results suggest the pivotal role of human capital in achieving sustainable economic development in BRICS countries. Policymakers should ensure sustained investment in human capital, focusing on economic growth, FDI, and international trade.

This paper assesses the National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) of EU member states and regions to uncover commonalities and differences between green and digital transitions, focusing on the role of institutions, among additional socio‐economic drivers, in modeling them. To that end, relevant indicators have been assembled, and several econometric models have been developed and tested to evaluate institutional performance in relation to green and digital transformations. The study reveals discrepancies in the two explored transition fields and highlights the power of institutional factors in boosting them. Specifically, the findings demonstrate that the green transition in EU regions is positively associated with variables such as life expectancy, institutional quality, tertiary education attainment, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with innovative activities, while the fruits of digitalization are mainly allied to population with higher studies, core creative class employment, accountability of institutions, and innovative SMEs. These insights offer valuable guidance for decision‐makers to draw lessons from high‐performing or successful regions and strategically assign resources. This includes paying attention to regional financial allocations and their alignment with territorial planning and long‐term policies.

The fact that financial exclusion leads to income inequality is detrimental to sustainable economic growth. Digital finance facilitates the provision of financial services to poor people and has the potential to promote income mobility so that to reduce income inequality. This study uses the Digital Financial Inclusion Index and household data from the China Household Finance Survey to examine the association between digital finance and households’ income mobility. Results show a significantly positive association between digital finance and upward income mobility. Underlying mechanism analyses suggest that digital finance is positively associated with upward mobility through the channels of equal opportunity and financial capability. Further heterogeneous analyses find that asset, education, and age can be moderators in the relationship between digital finance and income mobility. The findings demonstrate the importance of digital finance in promoting the income mobility of disadvantaged people and achieving the goal of inclusive and sustainable development.
