From the earliest myths about the soul's twin to modern discussions of digital avatars, humanity has long imagined a counterpart that can "be there" when the flesh cannot. In the coming decade, this imagination is moving from metaphor to reality: an AI copy—a persistent, personalized artificial mind that mirrors a person's knowledge, preferences, habits, and emotional contours.

This systematic review examines the relationship between EU accession conditionality and shadow economy reform in candidate and potential candidate countries. We address three research questions: (1) How does EU accession conditionality affect the size and dynamics of shadow economies? (2) Which policy instruments within the conditionality framework are most effective at reducing shadow economi...

This article examines how shadow economies evolve in post-conflict Balkan states, using econometric evidence from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Kosovo. Building on 25 years of MIMIC-methodology estimates, we analyze three research questions: the trajectory of informal economic activity following armed conflict, the relationship between economic development and shadow economy persistence,...

Georgia's radical tax reform of 2005—replacing a complex progressive tax system with a flat 12% rate—provides a unique natural experiment for studying the relationship between tax simplification and informal economic activity. This article examines two decades of data to quantify the reform's impact on Georgia's shadow economy, which fell from 68.8% of GDP (one of the world's highest) to 41.5% ...
