# Research ideas tagged “regulation”

6 research idea notes tagged “regulation”.

- [Screening foreign investment for national security](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/screening-foreign-investment-for-national-security.md) (2026-10-26, seed): Foreign direct investment appears on 198 recent papers, but national security on 11 and investment screening on a handful. Since 2018, most rich countries have widened the review of foreign takeovers on security grounds. Which deals do the reviews stop, and what does screening do to investment flows and target firms? Tags: economics, trade, regulation.
- [Do whistleblower rewards find fraud sooner?](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/whistleblower-rewards.md) (2026-10-23, seed): Whistleblowing appears on 16 recent papers across the tracked journals, mostly on whether employees speak up. Reward programmes at the SEC and now the EU and other regulators pay tipsters a share of penalties. Do rewards bring forward the discovery of fraud, and do they change what happens inside firms? Tags: accounting, governance, regulation.
- [Subscriptions, churn and the right to cancel](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/subscription-churn.md) (2026-10-23, seed): Customer retention and churn appear on 33 recent papers and subscription pricing and models on 10, across the AI, operations research and finance journals. Subscriptions now cover software, cars, media and razors, and regulators are forcing easy cancellation. How much of subscription revenue depends on people not cancelling, and what happens when they can? Tags: management, marketing, regulation.
- [Privacy rules and the small advertisers](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/privacy-rules-and-small-advertisers.md) (2026-10-23, seed): Privacy concerns, GDPR, data protection and consumer privacy appear on 81 recent papers, mostly about what consumers feel. Few study what the rules did to the firms that advertise. When tracking became harder, large platforms kept their data and small advertisers lost theirs. Did privacy rules raise concentration? Tags: management, marketing, regulation.
- [The first reports under the EU sustainability directive](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/csrd-first-reports.md) (2026-10-23, seed): The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive appears on 9 recent papers and double materiality on 3, while sustainability reporting as a whole appears on 57. The first reports under the directive were published in 2025, and the rules were then scaled back. What did the first wave disclose, and what did the rollback remove? Tags: accounting, esg, regulation.
- [Mandatory climate disclosure, three ways](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/climate-disclosure-mandates.md) (2026-10-23, seed): Climate risk disclosure appears on 19 recent papers, carbon disclosure on 10 and TCFD on 7; only 14 of 53 climate-disclosure papers carry a mandate, rule or regulation keyword. The US SEC rule was stayed, California's law survived, and the ISSB standards are being adopted by dozens of countries. Which regime changes what firms report, and what investors do with it? Tags: accounting, esg, regulation.
