Recently, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) has become an important factor in companies' sustainable development. Artificial intelligence (AI) is also a core digital technology that can create innovative, sustainable, comprehensive, and resilient environments. ESG- and AI-based digital transformation is a relevant strategy for managing business value and sustainability in corporate green management operations. Therefore, this study examines how corporate sustainability relates to ESG- and AI-based digital transformation. Furthermore, it confirms the moderating effect of green innovation on the process of increasing sustainability. To achieve the purpose of this study, 359 data points collected for hypothesis testing were used for statistical analysis and for mobile business platform users. The following conclusions are drawn. (1) ESG activities have become key variables that enable sustainable corporate growth. Companies can implement eco-friendly operating processes through ESG activities. (2) This study verifies the relationship between AI-based digital transformation and corporate sustainability and confirms that digital transformation positively affects corporate sustainability. In addition, societal problems can be identified and environmental accidents prevented through technological innovation. (3) This study does not verify the positive moderating effect of green innovation; however, it emphasizes its necessity and importance. Although green innovation improves performance only in the long term, it is a key factor for companies pursuing sustainable growth. This study reveals that ESG- and AI-based digital transformation is an important tool for promoting corporate sustainability, broadening the literature in related fields and providing insights for corporate management and government policymakers to advance corporate sustainability.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and breakthroughs in machine learning and natural language processing, intelligent question-answering robots have become widely used in government affairs. This paper conducts a horizontal comparison between Guangdong Province's government chatbots, ChatGPT, and Wenxin Ernie, two large language models, to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of existing government chatbots and AIGC technology. The study finds significant differences between government chatbots and large language models. China's government chatbots are still in an exploratory stage and have a gap to close to achieve "intelligence." To explore the future direction of government chatbots more deeply, this research proposes targeted optimization paths to help generative AI be effectively applied in government chatbot conversations.

In October 2011, Denmark introduced the world's first and, to date, only tax targeting saturated fat. However, this tax was subsequently abolished in January 2013. Leveraging exogenous variation from untaxed Northern-German consumers, we employ a difference-in-differences approach to estimate the causal effects of both the implementation and repeal of the tax on consumption and expenditure behavior across eight product categories targeted by the tax. Our findings reveal significant heterogeneity in the tax's impact across these products. During the taxed period, there was a notable decline in consumption of bacon, liver sausage, salami, and cheese, particularly among low-income households. In contrast, expenditure on butter, cream, margarine, and sour cream increased as prices rose. Interestingly, we do not observe any difference in expenditure increases between high and low-income households, suggesting that the latter were disproportionately affected by the tax. After the repeal of the tax, we do not observe any significant decline in consumption. On the contrary, there was an overall increase in consumption for certain products, prompting concerns about unintended consequences resulting from the brief implementation of the tax.

Offshore wind power in the North Sea is considered a main pillar in Europe's future energy system. A key challenge lies in determining the optimal spatial capacity allocation of offshore wind parks in combination with the dimensioning and layout of the connecting high-voltage direct current grid infrastructure. To determine economically cost optimal configurations, we apply an integrated capacity and transmission expansion problem within a pan-European electricity market and transmission grid model with a high spatial and temporal granularity. By conducting scenario analysis for the year 2030 with a gradually increasing CO2 price, possible offshore expansion paths are derived and presented. Special emphasis is laid on the effects of weather uncertainty by incorporating data from 21 historical weather years in the analysis. Two key findings are (i) an expansion in addition to the existing offshore wind capacity of 0 GW (136 EUR/tCO2), 12 GW (159 EUR/tCO2) and 30 GW (186 EUR/tCO2) dependent on the underlying CO2 price. (ii) A strong sensitivity of the results towards the underlying weather data highlighting the importance of incorporating multiple weather years.

In economic modeling, there has been an increasing investigation into multi-agent simulators. Nevertheless, state-of-the-art studies establish the model based on reinforcement learning (RL) exclusively for specific agent categories, e.g., households, firms, or the government. It lacks concerns over the resulting adaptation of other pivotal agents, thereby disregarding the complex interactions within a real-world economic system. Furthermore, we pay attention to the vital role of the government policy in distributing tax credits. Instead of uniform distribution considered in state-of-the-art, it requires a well-designed strategy to reduce disparities among households and improve social welfare. To address these limitations, we propose an expansive multi-agent economic model comprising reinforcement learning agents of numerous types. Additionally, our research comprehensively explores the impact of tax credit allocation on household behavior and captures the spectrum of spending patterns that can be observed across diverse households. Further, we propose an innovative government policy to distribute tax credits, strategically leveraging insights from tax credit spending patterns. Simulation results illustrate the efficacy of the proposed government strategy in ameliorating inequalities across households.

The objective of this research was to determine the degree of knowledge that the inhabitants of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (made up of the municipalities Guadalajara, Tlajomulco de Z'u~niga, Tlaquepaque, Zapopan and Tonal'a) had regarding tequila and the brands produced in Los Altos of Jalisco. For this, a survey consisting of five questions was designed, which was applied in the central square, center or z'ocalo of each municipality. The results show that the big brands, when acquired by international companies, focused their attention on capturing the consumer in international markets, since the prices of the same products that they export have been out of the pocket of those who like That drink, so it could be considered that the big brands, have left the national market a little behind, of course they did not abandon it completely, but it stopped being their main objective. Therefore, it can be concluded that the national market is the window of opportunity to join the small and still unknown producers to work together and in a grouped way, they are able to standardize a series of products that being of the same quality and same packaging, they can cover the national market, and perhaps, in the future, become a large company distributed throughout the territory and begin the export process only with national capital.

The clarion call for causal reduction in the study of capital markets is intensifying. However, in self-referencing and open systems such as capital markets, the idea of unidirectional causation (if applicable) may be limiting at best, and unstable or fallacious at worst. In this research, we critically assess the use of scientific deduction and causal inference within the study of empirical finance and econometrics. We then demonstrate the idea of competing causal chains using a toy model adapted from ecological predator/prey relationships. From this, we develop the alternative view that the study of empirical finance, and the risks contained therein, may be better appreciated once we admit that our current arsenal of quantitative finance tools may be limited to ex post causal inference under popular assumptions. Where these assumptions are challenged, for example in a recognizable reflexive context, the prescription of unidirectional causation proves deeply problematic.

I present new evidence of the effects of climate shocks on political violence and social unrest. Using granular conflict and weather data covering the entire continent of Africa from 1997 to 2023, I find that exposure to El Ni~no events during the crop-growing season decreases political violence targeted at civilians during the early postharvest season. A moderate-strength El Ni~no event results in a three percent reduction in political violence with civilian targeting in croplands compared with the benchmark levels of this conflict evaluated at average cropland size and average growing-season exposure of local weather to El Ni~no shocks. Because this effect manifests itself only in cells with crop agriculture and only during the postharvest season supports the idea that agriculture is the key channel and rapacity is the key motive connecting climatic shocks and political violence. Reassuringly, the magnitude of the estimated effect increases substantially, in one instance more than doubles, when I use subsets of data that are better suited for unveiling the proposed mechanism. This study advances knowledge of the relationship between climate and conflict. And because El Ni~no events can be predicted several months in advance, these findings can contribute to creating a platform for early warning of political violence, specifically in predominantly agrarian societies in Africa.

As artificial intelligence (AI) is integrated into various services and systems in society, many companies and organizations have proposed AI principles, policies, and made the related commitments. Conversely, some have proposed the need for independent audits, arguing that the voluntary principles adopted by the developers and providers of AI services and systems insufficiently address risk. This policy recommendation summarizes the issues related to the auditing of AI services and systems and presents three recommendations for promoting AI auditing that contribute to sound AI governance. Recommendation1.Development of institutional design for AI audits. Recommendation2.Training human resources for AI audits. Recommendation3. Updating AI audits in accordance with technological progress. In this policy recommendation, AI is assumed to be that which recognizes and predicts data with the last chapter outlining how generative AI should be audited.

Process mining has become one of the best programs that can outline the event logs of production processes in visualized detail. We have addressed the important problem that easily occurs in the industrial process called Bottleneck. The analysis process was focused on extracting the bottlenecks in the production line to improve the flow of production. Given enough stored history logs, the field of process mining can provide a suitable answer to optimize production flow by mitigating bottlenecks in the production stream. Process mining diagnoses the productivity processes by mining event logs, this can help to expose the opportunities to optimize critical production processes. We found that there is a considerable bottleneck in the process because of the weaving activities. Through discussions with specialists, it was agreed that the main problem in the weaving processes, especially machines that were exhausted in overloading processes. The improvement in the system has measured by teamwork; the cycle time for process has improved to 91%, the worker's performance has improved to 96%,product quality has improved by 85%, and lead time has optimized from days and weeks to hours.

Given enough stored\u0000history logs, the field of process mining can provide a suitable answer to\u0000optimize production flow by mitigating bottlenecks in the production stream.\u0000Process mining diagnoses the productivity processes by mining event logs, this\u0000can help to expose the opportunities to optimize critical production processes.\u0000We found that there is a considerable bottleneck in the process because of the\u0000weaving activities. Through discussions with specialists, it was agreed that\u0000the main problem in the weaving processes, especially machines that were\u0000exhausted in overloading processes. The improvement in the system has measured\u0000by teamwork; the cycle time for process has improved to 91%, the worker's\u0000performance has improved to 96%,product quality has improved by 85%, and lead\u0000time has optimized from days and weeks to hours.","PeriodicalId":501487,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - QuantFin - Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138535082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
