Recognizing the central role of investor demand in primary equity markets, the review synthesizes nearly three decades of research to develop an integrated understanding of how informational, institutional, regulatory, and behavioral factors shape participation decisions across diverse market settings. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol, we analyse 47 peer-reviewed studies published between 1995 and 2025. The survey demonstrates that IPO participation is jointly influenced by market design and allocation mechanisms, underwriter reputation, regulatory environments, and firm-specific signals, alongside behavioral and cognitive biases that differentially affect retail and institutional investors. While the literature is largely grounded in information asymmetry and signaling frameworks, more recent studies increasingly incorporate behavioral finance and institutional perspectives. Despite substantial progress, research remains fragmented across methodologies, markets, and investor types, limiting cumulative knowledge. By organizing the literature around key theoretical lenses, empirical evidence, and methodological approaches, this survey identifies unresolved debates and underexplored areas, including cross-country institutional variation, investor learning dynamics, and interaction effects between retail and institutional demand globally.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Surveys","volume":"40 4","pages":"1971-1986"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148695775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This survey organizes a fast-growing empirical literature around three questions: (1) Growth–do efficient, independent courts spur investment, productivity, and credit? (2) Peace–can stronger judiciaries deter civil strife and everyday crime? (3) Governance–how do courts shape trust and curb corruption? Reviewing 150+ causal studies from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, we find cutting case duration by one year lifts manufacturing productivity 3%–5%, specialized debt tribunals slash loan delinquency 25%–30%, and post-conflict mediation programs reduce land-related violence almost 30%. Faster, impartial adjudication also deepens credit markets and lowers borrowing costs, yet gains often bypass small borrowers and fragile states where customary justice dominates. We outline four research frontiers: disentangling speed, quality, and access; mapping formal–customary linkages; exploiting court big-data to measure bias and legal uncertainty; and testing how regime type conditions judicial impact. Addressing these gaps can turn judicial reform into a high-return, inclusive development strategy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Surveys","volume":"40 4","pages":"1789-1805"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148695838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using China as the primary observation window, this research reviews the evolution of national policies on data as a production factor and recent accounting guidance that allows eligible data resources to be recognized as intangible assets or inventories. We then trace the full process of data assetization, from compliance assessment and valuation to financial statement presentation and subsequent financial use, including pledge-backed lending, equity contributions valued with data, and securitization. Illustrative cases reveal a rapid adoption among data-intensive service firms and more gradual progress in traditional industries. The study concludes by identifying the key constraints, including measurement standardization, cost allocation, data quality, and security compliance, and proposes a research agenda that supports more rigorous measurement frameworks and policy designs.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Surveys","volume":"40 4","pages":"2088-2110"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ongoing shifts in population size and age structure across countries have important implications for international trade, operating through changes in market size, consumption preferences, and labor supply. This review is organized into two parts and delivers three main insights. First, it documents key stylized facts on global demographic change and illustrates their implications for six major trading blocs. Second, it surveys the theoretical literature analyzing how demographic dynamics shape international trade patterns. Three central conclusions emerge. First, demographic change is likely to contribute to a shift in the global economic center of gravity from the Global North towards the Global South. Second, by influencing savings behavior and labor supply across countries, demographic developments affect relative prices and production structures. Third, demographic factors generate heterogeneous demand patterns and influence international trade through market size effects and non-homothetic preferences.</p>","PeriodicalId":51374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Surveys","volume":"40 4","pages":"1806-1833"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joes.70089","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using topic modeling on a corpus of over 4,600 academic papers, we identify the dominant themes that have shaped the literature to date and highlight areas that remain relatively underexplored. In addition, we assess the extent to which current research trajectories align with policy priorities. Our findings show significant research concentration on AI applications in supply chains, labor markets, and large language models (LLMs), especially following ChatGPT's release. However, comparing these topics to national AI strategies and legislation across regions, we identify notable gaps, particularly in measuring AI-driven economic growth, effective industrial policy, and the economic impacts of risk-based AI regulations. Global AI governance, regulatory fragmentation, and the effects of privacy laws on market competition in this context are also under-studied. By mapping these trends and gaps, the study offers guidance for future research and for policymakers navigating AI's economic and regulatory landscape.</p>","PeriodicalId":51374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Surveys","volume":"40 4","pages":"2111-2128"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joes.70081","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
