Artificial intelligence (AI) is diffusing rapidly in the workplace, yet aggregate productivity gains remain limited. This paper examines the dual diffusion of AI – through both formal, employer-led and informal, employee-initiated adoption – as potential explanation. Using a representative...

The digitalization of finance has accelerated the diffusion of FinTech and raised new questions about how AI, data security and blockchain shape consumer behaviour. This article examines current FinTech users, focusing on mobile banking, security perceptions, AI-enabled personalisation and trust...

The discussion on Artificial Intelligence (AI) often centers around its impact on productivity, but macroeconomic evidence for Europe remains scarce. Using the Acemoglu (2024) approach we simulate the medium-term impact of AI adoption on total factor productivity for 31 European countries. We...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping society, including the music industry. Recent advancements in generative AI enable users to create music from text-based prompts, raising questions about public perception and valuation of AI-generated music. We conducted three studies with...

Artificial intelligence is changing which tasks workers do and how they do them. Predicting its labor market consequences requires understanding how technical change affects workers’ productivity across tasks, how workers adapt by changing occupations and acquiring new skills, and how wages...

Early adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) reshaped how firms responded to market dynamics by enhancing data collection and analysis. Linking China's universe of customs shipments to millions of online job ads, we tracked AI hiring in sales, marketing, and analytics to build a firm-level...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key driver of the energy transition and sustainable economic development. However, the specific mechanisms through which AI adoption impacts renewable energy production versus consumption remain poorly understood. This study addresses this research gap by...

This study investigates the asymmetric responses of AI and ESG Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) to geopolitical and financial uncertainty, with a focus on resilience across market regimes. The NASDAQ-100 and MSCI ESG Leaders indices are used as proxies for thematic ETFs, and their dynamic...

Digital transformation has re-engineered tourism marketing and how destination branding competes for tourist attention, yet scholarship offers little systematic quantification of these changes. Drawing on 160 peer-reviewed studies published between 1990 and 2025, we combine grounded-theory...

This study investigates the relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and innovation inputs in Spanish manufacturing firms. While AI is increasingly recognized as a driver of productivity and economic growth, its role in shaping firms' innovation strategies remains underexplored. Using...

Despite the recognized importance of digital transformation, there remains a research gap regarding the specific mechanisms through which digital leadership enables organizations to translate digital strategies into sustainable outcomes. This study addresses this gap by examining the role of...

Transaction cost economics (TCE) and the theory of governance structures developed by Oliver Williamson have demonstrated significant explanatory power across institutional economics, law and economics, public policy, and strategic management. This review evaluates the predictive potential of...

Renewable energy adoption (RNE) has become a worldwide concern owing to its fundamental role in achieving environmental goals. The literature has suggested diverse factors that can influence RNE. However, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and climate finance in shaping RNE has received...

We analyze the impact of AI-augmented training on worker productivity in a financial services company. The company introduced an AI tool that provides performance feedback on call center agents to guide their training. To estimate causal effects, we exploit the staggered roll out of the AI-tool....

We provide experimental evidence on how employers adjust expectations to automation risk in high-skill, white-collar work. Using a randomized information intervention among tax advisors in Germany, we show that firms systematically underestimate automatability. Information provision raises risk...

In the automotive sector, excess inventory increases costs and prevents progress toward Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (SDG 9) and Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12). This study introduces an innovative approach...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly spreading across society. It is disrupting economies, traditional institutions, labor markets, and entrepreneurial ecosystems and will do so at an increasing pace over the next few years. In this conceptual paper, some of the emerging issues, implications...

While the capability of generative AI to generate high-quality content is well-recognized, there is still a lack of in-depth research on its actual impact on marketing effectiveness within real-world marketing environments. This study addresses this gap by conducting experiments to examine the...

The integration of artificial intelligence plays a critical role in human resource management in local governments by ensuring smooth, essential HR operations, including recruitment, performance management, and workforce planning. The current study is a systematic review focused on determining...

This article studies the interaction between artificial intelligence (AI) and human resource management (HRM) through a bibliometric analysis of 203 articles published between 2002 and 2024 in the Web of Science database. The analysis identifies six fundamental strategic research themes, ranging...

Against the backdrop of the deep integration between the digital economy and corporate sustainable development, this study uses the national New Generation Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Development Pilot Zone (AI_IDPZ) policy as a quasi-natural experiment. Based on data from Chinese...

Banking has evolved from ancient times of using grain banks and temple lending to modern banking practices. The transformation of the banking sector has ensured that banks play the crucial role of facilitating faster and efficient service delivery. This paper traced the evolution of banking and...
