“…Cloud-based AIS is typically delivered using the SaaS model, and this model occupies the largest part of public cloud services around the world (Yau-Yeung et al, 2020). CSPs offer cloud AIS (software) for subscription fees to organizations and permit them to use the application to handle a wide range of financial transactions (Almaqableh et al, 2022a(Almaqableh et al, , 2022bDimitriu and Matei, 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing the usage of cloud-based accounting information systems (AIS) in the crisis era (i.e. the COVID-19 pandemic) by expanding the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) with new related critical factors. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative research approach based on a cross-sectional online questionnaire was used for collecting empirical data from 438 potential and current users of cloud-based AIS. Structural equation modeling based on analysis of a moment structures 25.0 was applied in the data analysis. Findings The outcome of the structural path revealed that performance expectancy, social motivation, COVID-19 risk (COV-19 PR) and trust (TR) were significantly influencing users’ behavioral intention (BI) toward using cloud-based AIS and explained 71% of its variance. While, contrary to what is expected, the impact of effort expectancy and perceived security risk (SEC) on BI was insignificant. In addition, BI was revealed to influence the actual usage behaviors and explained 74% of its variance. The outcome factors: communication quality (CQ) and decision quality (DQ) were significantly influenced by the usage of cloud-based AIS. Practical implications The current research would be valuable for small- and medium-sized enterprises officials and policymakers to illustrate the relatively low rates of cloud-based AIS and formulate strategies to boost the acceptance and use of cloud-based AIS by Jordanian users, where cloud-based services are still deemed as an innovation. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the current study is the first academic paper that extends the UTAUT by integrating additional factors: TR, SEC and COV-19 PR. In addition to two outcome variables: CQ and DQ, to study the cloud-based AIS in the Jordanian setting beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. The current research contributes to the academic knowledge on information technology information system adoption by considering cloud accounting acceptance and use and integration into the work practices of users through the BIs and actual use of cloud-based AIS in Jordan.

“…Fang et al (2021) concluded that an increase in cryptocurrency prices is associated with a higher number of cyber-attacks on cryptocurrencies and increased cybercrime has negatively impacted the cryptocurrencies' returns. Recently, Almaqableh et al (2022) investigate the impact of terrorist attacks on the risk and return of cryptocurrencies. Their findings suggest that terrorist attacks positively impact the returns of cryptocurrencies while the attacks also result in short-term riskshifting behaviour for different cryptocurrencies.…”

This study examines the behaviour of cryptocurrencies’ returns to stock market volatility and cybercrime in the South African economy. The study makes us Generalized Autoregressive Score Model (GAS) investigate the time-varying correlation between cryptocurrencies’ returns and cybercrime, and cryptocurrencies’ returns and stock market volatility by making use of daily time series data on different four types of Cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and BNB from January 2019 to December 2021. The study also makes use of the regime-switching approach to regime-switching impacts on the cryptocurrencies’ returns. The empirical results obtained showed that cybercrime, on average, has negative impacts on the cryptocurrencies’ returns and the time-varying correlation between stock market volatility and each of the cryptocurrencies’ returns is largely positive. The stock market volatility impact is found to be regime-switching dependent. The study recommends that efforts to reduce cybercrime activities must be reinforced to deepen the use of digital currencies and policy measures must be taken to ensure reduced or moderate stock market volatility.

“…Bitcoin price is highly volatile, with frequent and extreme rises or falls. Much of the literature explores the properties of Bitcoin and the uncertainty factors that determine its price (Nasir et al 2019 ; Jalali and Heidari 2020 ; Mensi et al 2021 ; Neslihanoglu 2021 ; Almaqableh et al 2022b ). The relevant literature can be grouped into four themes as follows.…”

Cryptocurrency technology revolution: are Bitcoin prices and terrorist attacks related?

As a financial innovation of the information age, cryptocurrency is a complex concept with clear advantages and disadvantages and is worthy of discussion. Exploring from a terrorism perspective, this study uses the time-varying parameter/stochastic volatility vector autoregression model to explore the risk hedging and terrorist financing capabilities of Bitcoin. Empirical results show that both terrorist incidents and brutality may explain Bitcoin price, but their effects are slightly different. Compared to terrorist brutality, terrorist incidents have a weaker impact on Bitcoin price, showing that Bitcoin investors are more concerned about the number of deaths than the frequency of terrorist attacks. In turn, the impact of Bitcoin price on terrorist attacks is negligible. Bitcoin is a potential means of financing terrorism, but it does not currently play an important role. Our research findings can help investors analyze and predict Bitcoin prices and help improve the theoretical system of anti-terrorist financing, helping to maintain world peace and security.
