Vol. 6 No. 2 (2025)

Volume 6, Issue 2 (2025) of the European Journal of Digital Economy Research (EJDER) brings together current discussions at the intersection of digitalization, methodological rigor, and socio-economic transformation. The issue opens with an editorial that examines a structural integrity dilemma in the use of AI models within academia, emphasizing the risks that probabilistic text generation can pose for scholarly accuracy and research ethics. 

The research articles extend this focus on reliability and impact across multiple domains of the digital economy. Contributions include a methodological study on using reverse regressions to diagnose bias in digital-economy datasets, comparative evidence on how innovation, growth, and renewable energy shape environmental performance in OECD and BRICS countries, and a multi-criteria assessment of ecological security and environmental vulnerability using the LOPCOW–MABAC approach. Additional papers address oversight of financial transactions in the digital age and explore real-estate valuation perceptions through a municipal case study, collectively underscoring how data, governance, and sustainability challenges are being reshaped by digital transformation.
