Purpose: In contemporary times, augmented reality is a cornerstone technology within the tourism sector. Nonetheless, the inclination towards embracing and utilizing augmented reality applications in tourism hinges upon multifaceted determinants, meriting examination through the integrated lens of technology acceptance and use theory. Concurrently, these determinants sway individuals' hedonistic motivations to engage with such apps. This juncture holds significance for managerial considerations, delineating pivotal factors influencing the adoption of this technology. Hence, this present inquiry explores the nexus between the technology acceptance and use theory and the hedonistic motivations for tourism augmented reality apps on mobile platforms within the Iranian context.Method: The current research's statistical population consists of users of tourism augmented reality apps. The sample size is 201 users. The data collection tool is a questionnaire. A structural equation test was used to analyze the data.Findings: The research findings indicate that four factors, namely performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, have a positive and significant impact on the hedonic motivation to use tourism augmented reality apps. Moreover, all four factors of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) positively influenced the intention to use augmented reality applications on mobile phones. Additionally, hedonic motivation was shown to positively and significantly affect the intention to use tourism augmented reality apps on mobile phones. Notably, hedonic motivation is a crucial mediator between the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) dimensions and the intention to use augmented reality applications. However, the mediating role of hedonic motivation was not supported for performance expectancy and behavioral intention.Conclusion: This research investigates the factors influencing the motivation to use augmented reality (AR) apps in tourism. It finds that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions positively impact hedonic motivation for AR app usage. The study validates the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) for predicting AR app adoption. Notably, hedonic motivation mediates between UTAUT dimensions and intention to use AR technology, suggesting implications for enhancing AR app design in the tourism sector.

Purpose: This research aimed to identify some of the existing financial frictions in the Iran's digital economy. In particular, based on cases taken from digital and knowledge-based companies, it empirically investigated the importance of the role of base volume in the liquidity of those companies' stocks in Tehran Stock Exchange.Method: To evaluate the empirical implications of applying the base volume in daily stock market practice, retrospectively a quantitative estimate of the base volume was implied by the economic model within the rules imposed by the market regulator via MATLAB software programming. Then, using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), the effects of the estimated base volume, percentage of free-floating share, securities turnover, and the ratio of transaction volume to base volume on Amihud index were econometrically studied for the selected companies during the period 2015-2020.Findings: The findings indicate that the applying base volume on the selected digital and knowledge-based companies has had a negative effect on the calculation of the final price and on the liquidity of studied knowledge-based companies. Also, the results of using the machine learning method (decision tree) showed a importance coefficient of 32.6% for the base volume on the Amihud index of the selected companies.Conclusion: Our results suggest that base volume as an idiosyncratic financial friction induced by Iranian stock market regulator has aggravated the illiquidity of studied digital and knowledge-based companies and thereby could have raised the financing costs for those companies. This would ultimately impede those companies’ growth prospect.
