Generative AI and Its Transformative Potential
(MDPI, 2025) Ilieva, Galina; Tsihrintzis, George A.
This Special Issue delves into the transformative potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI) across scientific and business domains. As AI progresses from automating repetitive tasks to amplifying creativity and innovation, it opens new pathways for research, education, industry, and human-centered systems. The contributions collected here illustrate how generative models are reshaping content creation, product design, and human–machine interaction. Leading experts offer insights into generative AI architectures, domain-specific applications, and practical implementations across multiple fields. The papers are organized into three thematic clusters: foundational frameworks for generative AI systems; educational and human-centered applications; and creative and business use cases. Together, these studies highlight both the opportunities and the challenges posed by this technology, particularly in relation to ethics, authenticity, and integration with existing infrastructures. Through this curated selection of research, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of how generative AI can be harnessed to enhance education, enrich society, and drive sustainable technological progress. As the field continues its rapid advance, we look forward to future explorations that build on the foundations laid in this Special Issue and promote the responsible, innovative deployment of AI systems.
Shadow Economy and Tax Evasion
(MDPI, 2025) Lisi, Gaetano
Shadow economy and tax evasion are widely studied topics in economics and behavioural sciences. Still, determinants of the tax behaviour of individuals and firms (including psychological aspects and social and cultural norms and customs) are not fully understood. Additionally, questions related to the evolution, operation, and design of formal institutions capable of effectively counteracting these two widespread and related phenomena remain (substantially) unanswered. Finally, fiscal policies fighting against shadow economy and tax evasion could (at least in the short term and in some countries) have adverse effects on economic growth and unemployment. This Special Issue Reprint contributed to improving the understanding of several aspects of shadow economy and tax evasion. It comprises 12 papers, both theoretical and empirical, by scholars and experts in the field.

Sustainable Tax and Accounting Reporting in Building a New Tax Culture
(MDPI, 2025) Hauptman, Lidija; Pavić, Ivana
The Sustainable Development Goals will be achieved through the improved mobilization of tax revenues and the transformation of tax culture among taxpayers (both institutional and individual). Taxpayers are exposed to an increasing complexity of regulations and policies, new technologies, and new reporting demands from international organizations, which exert pressure on them to transparently report, affecting the strategization and implementation of tax compliance. It is expected that greater transparency and fairness in the global taxation system, which must be sustainable oriented, will be achieved through numerous tax and accounting reporting standards that have been adopted recently by various international professional institutions. Companies are required to adhere to tax laws and also have a duty to their stakeholders and communities to fulfill the expectations of effective tax governance. Meanwhile, for individual taxpayers, new mechanisms are being established to promote tax-sustainable behaviour. The Reprint 'Sustainable Tax and Accounting Reporting in Building a New Tax Culture' is interested in ideas about sustainable tax systems and standards, sustainable accounts reporting, tax auditing, tax aggressiveness, tax compliance, tax strategy and governance, tax risk management, sustainable tax behaviour and tax culture.

Fintech, Business, and Development
(MDPI, 2025) Jha, Chandan Kumar; Sharma, Chandan
Fintech, short for financial technology, has become an increasingly important player in the global economy. Fintech companies leverage technological advancements to offer innovative financial services, ranging from mobile banking and peer-to-peer lending to cryptocurrency and blockchain-based solutions. By leveraging digital technologies, fintech firms have offered financial services to previously excluded populations, enabling individuals to access credit, insurance, and savings products that were previously unavailable to them. By providing alternative sources of financing, such as peer-to-peer lending and crowdfunding, fintech has enabled small businesses to access capital that they may not have been able to obtain through traditional sources. This has led to increased investment, innovation, and job creation, all of which are essential for economic growth. Moreover, fintech has improved the efficiency and transparency of financial markets, reducing costs and improving accessibility for investors. Consequently, new financial instruments, such as cryptocurrencies and digital securities, have been developed, offering greater flexibility and transparency than traditional financial products. In conclusion, fintech has played a crucial role in driving economic and financial development, promoting financial inclusion, and enhancing firm performance. As the world continues to embrace digital technologies, fintech is poised to play an even greater role in shaping the future of finance.

Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) for Construction Project Deliveries
(MDPI, 2025) Fong, Patrick S.W.
Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) are central to modern infrastructure development, enabling governments to harness private sector finance and expertise for complex construction projects. Their success, however, depends on managing risks, stakeholder alignment, financial viability, and sustainability. This reprint compiles eighteen peer-reviewed papers from a Special Issue of the journal Buildings, curated by Dr. Patrick S.W. Fong, offering global insights into the mechanisms, challenges, and success factors shaping PPPs. Topics include the historical evolution of PPP research, policy dynamics (e.g., China), project initiation and planning (e.g., business case development in China and New Zealand, project briefing in mature markets, success factors in the UAE, and competency models), risk management (e.g., assessment systems for transport, qualitative tools like ‘Riesgo’, risks in Iran’s water sector, and sustainable outcomes), and performance drivers (e.g., trust, incentives in rail transit, success factors in water and power sectors, and concession period drivers in healthcare). It also explores contextual applications such as urban regeneration (Italy) and community resilience. Covering regions from Asia to Europe and the Middle East, and sectors from transport to utilities and health, this volume delivers a comprehensive, evidence-based understanding of PPPs for academics, policymakers, practitioners, and students navigating the complexities of infrastructure delivery through public–private collaboration.
