Financial risk

The main objective of this article is to investigate the impact of various financial, economic, and political risks and economic complexity on the development of the Sukuk market in the Iranian economy. The data required to conduct this research based on the variables of the proposed model were used from the Capital Market Central Asset Management Company, the International Country Risk Guide (ICRG) database, and the MIT University website. The data relating to 2010-2022 is seasonal, and REVIEWS 13 software was used. The model estimation results using the Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model Approach (NARDL) show that the negative shock of political risk reduces the development of the Sukuk market in the short and long term. The negative shock of financial risk in the long term has a negative impact on the development of the Sukuk market. The negative shock of economic complexity reduces the development of the Sukuk market in the short term. The positive shocks of political risk, financial risk, economic risk, and economic complexity in the short and long term led to the development of the Sukuk market. Among the three types of risk, political risk and financial risk have the most impact on sukuk market development. The error correction coefficient in this estimate is negative and statistically significant, which shows that 0.42% of the short-term imbalance is adjusted to reach the long-term balance every year.

This research uses a fuzzy Delphi approach to identify the dimensions and components of investor risk and financing for IT-based startup companies. The statistical population for this study consisted of 30 experts and university professors familiar with the research concepts surveyed to select the dimensions and components identified from the literature and prior research. The results from the fuzzy Delphi method showed that the financing and investor risk dimensions were selected in 9 dimensions and 29 components. The weighting results for the research dimensions and components using the Best-Worst Method (BWM) prioritized each. The weighting results indicate that the industry status ranked first, followed by scientific factors and other components, ranked third to ninth in the LINGO software. Additionally, the intensity of relationships among the research dimensions was assessed using the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) technique. The analysis of the intensity of relationships among the dimensions shows that the government factors dimension had the highest numerical value based on the row sum, making it the most influential dimension among those examined in financing startup companies using the DEMATEL technique. Conversely, based on the D-R analysis, the geographic factors dimension received the lowest value and was recognized as the most affected dimension. Using the fuzzy Delphi method, this research has identified specific and novel dimensions and components, such as governmental, geographical, and scientific factors, which have been less addressed in the existing literature.

The finance sector is experiencing substantial technological disruption as Quantum Computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) continue to advance at a rapid pace. This study employs bibliometric analysis, specifically VOS Viewer, to investigate the academic environment at the intersection of financial risk, AI, and quantum computation. From 2014 to 2023, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis was performed on a total of 145 journal articles that were published in Scopus and Web of Sciences (WoS). Articles are categorized based on their homogeneity in the disciplines of Quantum Computing, Financial Risk, and AI, as well as their interdisciplinary compositions. The results, which include authorship trends, keyword dynamics, and linked works, are analyzed and presented. This extensive bibliometric analysis offers critical insights into contemporary research and pinpointing areas necessitating further exploration. As quantum computers and AI algorithms become more sophisticated, this paper investigates the potential weaknesses and issues that financial institutions may encounter. By analyzing the intersection of two transformative technologies, the report offers critical insights into the discourse surrounding the safeguarding of financial systems in the quantum era. The analysis not only enhances the quality of the review but also directs researchers to significant papers and identifies regions of publications, thereby facilitating a more comprehensive understanding of the research environment.
