This study utilizes a multi-theoretical framework and survey data to demonstrate that AI-driven personalisation dimensions enhance perceived quality and purchase intention through persuasion, with consumer trust in AI serving as a critical boundary condition that amplifies these effects.
This paper utilizes bivariate OLS regressions and correlation analysis on monthly data from 2018 to 2024 to systematically map the varying degrees of co-movement between crude oil, natural gas prices, and CPI inflation across eighteen G20 economies, finding that oil is a significant driver in most nations while natural gas impacts are concentrated in specific markets like Italy, Mexico, Argentina, and Turkey, thereby establishing a descriptive baseline for future causal research.
This paper proposes a novel subgroup decomposition methodology based on the Unequally Distributed (UD) and Relative UD (RUD) income framework to resolve the "information mixture problem" in conventional approaches by isolating a foundational egalitarian baseline, thereby enabling a mathematically consistent partitioning of income inequality into pure within-group and between-group components.
This study redefines Fielding's "escalator region" as a "life-course escalator system" of complementary regional roles, demonstrating through 2006–2025 Korean migration data that the national system is reorganizing toward lower mobility with significant role shifts and a halving of Seoul's escalator membership.
This study analyzes how the watchmaker Christopher Ward leverages voluntary supply chain transparency as a strategic competitive advantage, proposing a four-role framework (understanding, prioritizing, explaining, and signalling) that helps SMEs navigate market positioning and offset power imbalances through authentic disclosure.
Using a staggered difference-in-differences model on panel data from 2045 Chinese counties (2011–2022), this study demonstrates that the reform of rural collective property rights systems significantly boosts investment by listed companies through population agglomeration and industrial clustering, with effects being most pronounced in eastern and non-priority rural revitalization counties.
This study demonstrates that decomposing inclusive-finance factors into positive and negative components and applying Explainable Boosting Machines reveals significant asymmetric and nonlinear predictive patterns for Micro-Cap stock tail risk, offering superior forecasting insights compared to raw factor levels.
This study employs a quantitative analysis of 100 large Iraqi firms to demonstrate that the system, information, and service quality dimensions of Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) significantly influence employee performance, thereby validating established theoretical models within the context of developing Middle Eastern economies.
Using panel data from 2016 to 2022, this study finds that social security coverage significantly enhances job satisfaction among China's gig workers, though the impact varies by insurance type, gender, and specific satisfaction dimensions, while revealing distinct mediation mechanisms compared to non-gig workers.
Using 2018 China Family Panel Studies data, this paper demonstrates that non-cognitive abilities generate significantly larger income returns for rural residents—particularly low-income earners—than for urban counterparts, suggesting that cultivating these traits offers a promising, overlooked strategy for reducing China's urban-rural income inequality.
