Summary: Recent technological advances have led to the emergence of autonomous consumer-facing retail technologies that perform mental and physical tasks on behalf of the consumer. However, consumers are hesitant to use these technologies and there is limited research on the factors inhibiting consumer adoption. This study integrates consumer perceived risk theory and the motivation-opportunity-ability framework to develop and test a model of consumer perceived risk of using autonomous retail technology. The findings highlight the multidimensional and unique nature of consumer perceived risk and identify factors that mitigate it, such as consumer innovativeness, self-efficacy, and retailer trustworthiness. These results have important implications for the study of consumer-facing technology and for retailers.

Summary: The article examines the issue of unbalanced regional development and carbon peak in China, and analyzes the factors influencing the dynamic path of carbon decoupling. The results indicate that only Beijing has reached the carbon peak state of G7 countries, and only a few provinces have evolved along the strong decoupling path. In China, the intensity reduction rate, the growth rate of marketization index, and foreign direct investment play an increasingly important role in reaching the carbon peak. Regional heterogeneity also affects the influence of factors, with variations in regression coefficients across different regions.
