Adolescent cyberbullying has evolved into a significant public health and governance challenge in digital environments. This study provides a systematic bibliometric mapping of 1,202 peer-reviewed articles published between 2001 and 2025, examining the intellectual structure and thematic development of the field. By using Scopus for data retrieval and VOSviewer for co-occurrence analysis, the study identifies publication trends, influential contributors, institutional patterns, and six dominant thematic clusters. Findings indicate a sustained growth in research output, particularly after 2015, with a strong concentration on mental health outcomes, victimisation, and psychosocial risks. Emerging themes include minority vulnerability, cyber dating violence, artificial intelligence-based detection systems, and digital prevention strategies. However, governance constructs such as platform accountability, regulatory oversight, and algorithmic transparency remain comparatively peripheral. The study highlights the need for stronger integration of organisational, institutional, and socio-technical perspectives to complement individual-level research and inform coordinated policy, educational, and platform-based interventions.

In this article, I examine how venture capital-driven hypergrowth is progressively reshaping political authority via an emergent Silicon Valley Consensus (SVC). Drawing on the political theory of Carl Schmitt, I argue that VC-backed firms are able to operate in a zone of exception that suspends or bypasses conventional regulatory boundaries, thus constraining the state’s competence to govern. By foregrounding disruptive innovation as a strategic maneuver that subverts political power while accelerating capitalist transformations, I ultimately characterize venture capital as an anti-politics machine – one that depoliticizes itself while trapping regulatory institutions and sovereign authority in a field of political necessity. Focusing on the United States while drawing global implications, I show how the SVC not only shifts decision-making power from public institutions to private actors, but also reconfigures the political necessity that compels governments to legitimize new forms of power in an era of rapid technological change.

Based on a study of the Swiss mobile payment app Twint and its use as a tool for charitable giving, this article introduces a framework for studying redistributive imaginaries and examines donation ‘marketplaces’ and their implications. Engaging with literatures on socio-technical imaginaries, the platformization of payment, post-humanitarianism, and the digital-solutionist ethic, the article asks what happens when practices of giving are facilitated and enclosed by a tech-ified finance industry. Twint’s catalog-like platform for donating reconfigures digital giving and its relation to redistribution. We argue that donations platforms like Twint’s are introducing a new redistributive imaginary by interpellating users as donors, consumers and citizens who – given behavioral psychology – need guidance to exercise choice and become more ethical selves. On the basis of an interface analysis and interviews, we specify a ‘post-sovereign consumer-citizen redistributive imaginary’, characterized by a market frame and tech-solutionism. This imaginary relies on a bounded-rationality model of the human and promotes a post-political idea of democratic participation. The article notes a slippage between different semantics of ‘good’ and ‘better’ technology, which are relevant for a discursive-ideological analysis of the FinTech sector and its rhetoric more broadly. Analyzing them helps us better understand how platform operators are accruing power culturally, economically, and politically.

We examine how banks reallocate employees following mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and the resulting effects on productivity. Using matched employee–branch data combined with branch-level financial information, we show that M&As expand internal labor markets and trigger substantial worker redeployment. Newly consolidated banks reassign high-ability loan officers to acquirer branches, increasing productivity. Target branches also experience productivity improvements, primarily driven by restructuring and cost reductions. These effects are strongest in municipalities where the combined pre-merger internal labor markets of the target and acquirer were larger, highlighting the central role of internal labor markets in generating efficiency gains from consolidation.

The InsurTech industry has undergone almost a decade of development. Despite its initial success, the industry now faces challenges from global uncertainties and regulatory adjustments, which lead to concerns about sustainable profit growth and the ongoing development of InsurTech. This study provides an overview of the evolution of InsurTech development from both academic and practical perspectives. A bibliometric analysis of more than 20,000 published articles, including both practice articles and academic articles, is put forward. As compared to other review articles in this field, which often focus on either the practice or the scholarly side of development, this article brings together a review of both academic and practice-based articles from fields relevant to InsurTech including artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and also powerful computing technology. A keyword extraction framework is developed and applied. Using text analysis, this study reviews the prioritized topics, analyzes the robustness of the development of publication growth, identifies emerging insurance business lines, and also highlights the challenges and gaps in both academic and practice development. This study aims to motivate collaboration between academics and industry to face the challenges posed by the integration of InsurTech into insurance operations.

We evaluate the performance and level of intergenerational cross-subsidy in flat-accrual and dynamic-accrual collective defined contribution (CDC) schemes, which have been designed to be compatible with UK legislation. In the flat-accrual scheme, all members accrue the benefits at the same rate, irrespective of age. This captures the most significant feature of the Royal Mail Collective Pension Plan, which is currently the only UK CDC scheme. The dynamic-accrual schemes seek to reduce intergenerational cross-subsidies by varying the rate of benefit-accrual schemes in accordance with the age of members and the current funding level. We find that these CDC schemes can often be successful in smoothing pension outcomes postretirement while outperforming a defined contribution scheme followed by annuity purchase at the point of retirement. However, this out-performance is not guaranteed in a flat-accrual scheme, and there is little smoothing of projected pension outcomes before retirement. There are significant intergenerational cross-subsidies in the flat-accrual scheme, which qualitatively mirror the cross-subsidies seen in defined benefit schemes, but the magnitude of cross-subsidies is much larger in flat-accrual CDC schemes. The dynamic-accrual scheme design seeks to reduce such cross-subsidies, but we find significant cross-subsidies still arise due to the approximate pricing methodology used to determine the benefits.

We study whether information design influences consumer behavior in a randomized field experiment with users of an online account aggregation app. Participants received a personalized index representing their net worth as a lifetime monthly cash flow. The presentation of this index varied across treatments in its framing and the salience of its display. Consumers exposed to a consumption-oriented frame and a salient comparison of the index with their past spending reduced discretionary spending. These findings show that minor variations in information presentation can significantly affect financial behavior, highlighting the power of design in promoting saving and informing policy and regulation.
