The role of artificial intelligence in income distribution
The fast progress of artificial intelligence (AI) technology transforms industrial efficiency levels and work abilities, significantly affecting worldwide income distribution patterns. This research uses fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to study the complex mechanisms by which AI affects income inequality across 20 OECD nations from 2015 through 2019. The analysis uses panel data ( N = 20, T = 5) to examine three AI-related cond…

Total factor productivity dynamics and the artificial intelligence paradox
This paper investigates the artificial intelligence (AI) productivity paradox using total factor productivity (TFP) from 1890 to 2022 and fractional integration and long-memory econometric methods. We find that total factor productivity gains from AI investments may be delayed and diffuse nonlinearly, following long-memory patterns similar to those of previous technological revolutions, resulting in a paradox of long lags, not a lack of innovatio…
The impact of energy price dynamics on artificial intelligence adoption
This research examines the impact of energy price fluctuations and renewable power systems on the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technology across 28 OECD member states from 1980 to 2023. The research employs the Pooled Mean Group estimator with error correction (PMG-ECM) to analyze a balanced panel of 898 country-year observations, which assesses how electricity prices and renewable energy generation affect AI patent activity. The rese…
Bridging the digital divide
This study seeks to understand the nuanced relationship between technological innovation and income inequality with an emphasis on the broader implications of this interplay on human–technology interactions in diverse socioeconomic settings. Using cross-country panel data from 59 nations (31 developed and 28 developing) from 1995 to 2020, the study employed the common correlated effect mean group (CCEMG) estimator. The robustness of our findings …
Transforming power of research and development on inequality and well-being
To establish a “well-being economy” that prioritizes human and environmental welfare, understanding the relationship between income inequality, research and development (R&D) potential, and human development is crucial. This study delves into these relationships in European Union (EU) countries, focusing on the adoption levels of a circular economy (CE). Analyzing data from the 27 EU member countries spanning 2010 to 2020, a cluster analysis was …

Analytical framework for industry-oriented leading cyclical indicators
This research developed an analytical framework for industry-oriented leading cyclical indicators (CII), focusing on monitoring and forecasting economic cycles within the European Union (EU). Various methodologies for constructing these indicators were examined through an exhaustive sector analysis. A salient conclusion drawn is the non-feasibility of a one-size-fits-all composite leading indicator for all EU members. It underscores the imperativ…

The global impact of financial development on renewable energy in a panel structural vector autoregression analysis
Financial development is likely to benefit the use of renewable energies, particularly those lacking environmental conditions and significant external capital. However, the impact of financial development on alternative renewable energy sources has yet to be documented in different income‐level countries. Using a unique panel data set of 62 countries with three income levels for the 2000–2019 period, we investigate how financial development impac…
Measuring the macroeconomic impact of economic diplomacy using Varfima model for Croatia 1990-2018
Solving economic issues in international relations has historically become an inseparable part of diplomatic theory and practice. The consequence of the latest speed-up in trade globalization and liberalization is the increased competition on both domestic and foreign markets. Thus, the states which do not have a built-up concept of economic diplomacy cannot have a proactive role in their relationship with other countries, but become the object o…

Computable General Equilibrium Model for Croatian Economy
Computable General Equlibrium models or CGE models, are one of the most useful models in a global development planning and macroeconomic analysis. CGE models are discovered in 1960., but there was no major development until 1978. These models have become a standard tool of empirical economic analysis. These models dominate in major part of applied econometric analysis, which is involved on problem solving in economic development and local economi…
Income Terms of Trade Trend and Volatility in Croatia; A Growth Perspective
In the age of globalization, both domestic and foreign factors play an important role in determining country’s position on the world market, labelling that country as an open economy. Today, with few if any exceptions, all countries are open. Croatia is a small and open economy characterized with strong import dependency and external imbalances, thus any serious fluctuation on a global market can endanger its economic stability.

Sustainability of Employee Productivity as a Presumption of Sustainable Business
The concept of the sustainable development popularized the reflection on resources allocation, but considering of sustainability of employee productivity is still in its infancy. Using the game theory model, we will analyze the influences and mechanisms that affect the individual as the unit of the sustainability of the company. In this paper, we will provide a new approach to an individual productivity and determine the boundaries of the employe…
A Fractionally Integrated Model for the Croatian Aggregate Output (GDP) Series
The general characteristics of output fluctuations in Croatia are examined under fractional integration framework. This paper evaluate the existence of long memory in real output decomposing fluctuations to transitory and permanent components. The results suggest that Croatian real output series behavior is best identified as ARFIMA model with order of integration 0.5 <d <1.5. This suggests that macroeconomic shocks in real output are highly pers…
Transition in Mentality due to Scarcity – Evidence from the Republic Of Croatia
This paper aims to identify changes in consumption, with emphasis on shifts in decision-making process and income allocation due to scarcity. In order to determine the changes in consumption is necessary to determine the change in the quantity of consumption, and changes in consumption patterns. This paper will first look at the economic situation in the Republic of Croatia. Path positioning on Swan’s diagram will confirm a shift in the equilibri…

Income inequality in China 1952-2017
Research background: China's economic growth, however remarkable, is due to the Harrod-Domar nature of economic growth and, therefore, limited. The main limitation lies in the extension of the neoclassical growth model and the government need to decrease regional disparities using new migration, urbanization and social policy. Purpose of the article: It is the rising regional disparity in the total factor productivity to cause the income inequali…
The impact of poverty cycles on economic research
Poverty is a global problem, and fighting it is a historical task faced by humanity. The outbreak of poverty crises has a certain cyclicality, and the development of economic research may react to poverty cycles. To validate this view, we take the United States as an empirical example and establish a quantitative research architecture based on the bibliometrics and econometrics. In the first place, we conduct a bibliometric analysis of selected s…
