Fake Hermès Birkin bags and other counterfeit luxury goods are popular not only with people on a budget, but also with those with deeper pockets, a new study suggests.
Researchers from the National University of Singapore analyzed millions of counterfeit purchases by American consumers from more than 24,000 U.S. zip codes on a major cross-border, e-commerce platform. They found that both lower- and higher-income individuals are “significantly more likely” to buy fake luxury items than middle-income consumers, according to a press release by INFORMS on Monday.

AI is revolutionizing tax preparation, offering efficiency and accuracy. Yet, it faces challenges like bias and reliability concerns.
Generative artificial intelligence – the use of computers to generate words, images, voice and videos indistinguishable from human-created content – is transforming every industry. Technology advances and new use cases appear daily with no slowdown in sight as gen AI is estimated to add $30 trillion annually to the world economy by 2030. Much of the impact is positive, including the ability to quickly synthesize massive quantities of data and text, freeing humans to spend their time on more creative tasks where we still excel. But there are also serious risks that must be mitigated.
