The Effects of Cashierless Technology on Amazon’s Stock Price

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how cashierless technology affects Amazon’s stock market performance using scatterplot graphics, T-tests, and regression analysis. The paper analyses changes in Amazon stock return and volatility before and after the launch of cashierless technology in Amazon’s first grocery store. The results show a significant decrease in volatility, which suggests that the market sees the cashierless technology as a way to make things more stable. But there isn’t a statistically significant difference in stock returns, indicating that while innovation may influence risk perception, it does not necessarily translate into short-term gains.
