Entrepreneurship research faces a growing challenge: studies using advanced AI methods are trusted less than those that do not. In a survey of 172 entrepreneurship scholars, we document a substantial trust discount—AI-based studies are perceived, as a category, to be significantly less credible than those using conventional statistical methods. To explain this outcome, we adapt Akerlof’s market-for-lemons framework and introduce the concept of “social lemons”: studies devalued due to deep epistemic opacity. This stems from a double-black-box challenge: opaque AI methods are applied to uncertain, elusive entrepreneurial phenomena. Echoing dysfunctional market dynamics in Akerlof’s market-for-lemons framework, this dual opacity can create conditions whereby flawed research goes undetected, while high-quality work is crowded out. We outline a multi-stakeholder roadmap for safeguarding research credibility, offering actionable measures to help transform today’s trust discount into a future trust dividend—positioning AI as an accelerator of insight, rather than a source of doubt.

Antitrust laws mandate review of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) that exceed an asset size threshold based on accounting standards that exclude most intangible capital. We show that this exclusion leads to thousands of intangible-intensive M&As being nonreportable. Acquirers in nonreportable deals achieve higher equity values and price markups, especially when consolidating product markets. Furthermore, nonreportable pharmaceutical deals are three times more likely to involve overlapping drug projects, which are subsequently 40% more likely to be terminated. Our results suggest that the growth of intangible assets may exacerbate market power through nonreportable consolidation of the sectors most concerning for consumers.

Contraception is crucial for women's well-being and national development, which is particularly salient in Thailand's rapidly aging society where maximizing the health of the working-age population is essential. While health insurance is pivotal, this research moves beyond analyzing financial barriers to examine the distinct structural influence of Thailand's three major health insurance systems-the Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS), Social Security Scheme (SSS), and Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme (CSMBS)-on modern contraceptive method choices among reproductive-age women. Using data from the 2022 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) (n = 10,922 women currently using contraception), a Multinomial Logistic Regression model yielded significant findings. The results demonstrate that the specific scheme structure, rather than just the presence of coverage, significantly predicts method selection. Women under the Social Security Scheme (SSS) showed a statistically significant higher propensity for hormonal methods (pills, injections, implants). In contrast, members of the Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme (CSMBS) showed a significant preference for device-based methods (condoms, IUDs, diaphragms). These distinct preferences align with the structural incentives of the schemes: the SSS's capitation payment model may favor time-efficient hormonal dispensing, while the CSMBS's fee-for-service model and provider flexibility facilitate access to medical devices and non-hormonal options. Additionally, religious beliefs and concerns about hormonal side effects (observed among highly educated, affluent women) played a substantial role in the adoption of natural methods. This study underscores the need for public health policies that move beyond guaranteeing financial access and consider the structural diversity of health insurance systems to promote appropriate and sustainable contraceptive access and informed choice.
