    Effect of Real Estate Enterprises Status on Their Cross-regional Investment Behavior
    Liu Guangping, Sun Wei
    Management Review    2023, 35 (11): 45-61.  
    Abstract335)      PDF (1349KB)(139)      
    This paper introduces the ‘enterprise status’ concept of social economics into the real estate market to measure the individual differences among real estate enterprises, and studies the impact of enterprises' status on the extent and pattern of their cross-regional investment. The results show that the status of real estate enterprises significantly affects their cross-regional investment behavior. The higher status a real estate enterprise has, to a larger extent it would make cross-regional investments and the more inclined it is to join hands with others to make such investments. In addition, the increase of economic policy uncertainty will strengthen the positive relationship between the status of real estate enterprises and the degree of their cross-regional investment, while weakening the positive relationship between their status and their cross-regional co-investment, as well as the negative relationship between their status and their independent cross-regional investment. The effect of real estate enterprises' status on their cross-regional investment behavior is effective only under the following conditions:the real estate enterprises are private-owned and the investment market operates under a sound regulatory system. If both the nature of the real estate enterprises ownership and the regulatory system of investment destination are considered, it can be found that when only private real estate enterprises choose to carry out cross-regional investment in the region with a sound regulatory system, the high status of enterprises will positively affect the extent of cross-regional investment, and they are more inclined to choose a cross-regional co-investment model. If the real estate enterprises are state-owned or the regulatory system of investment destination is not sound enough, the influence of enterprises' status on the extent and pattern of their cross-regional investment is not significant.

    Rating with a Mask? The Effect of Air Quality on Credit Ratings
    Lang Xiangxiang, Tian Yanan, Wu Yuhui
    Management Review    2023, 35 (7): 56-73.  
    Abstract240)      PDF (1326KB)(225)      
    Based on the data of Chinese corporate bonds over 2013-2017, we examine whether bond rating analysts, who are supposed to be unbiased in ratings, are affected by air quality. We find that the released credit ratings are generally lower on days of low air quality, which is consistent with the literature that air pollution can affect the mood of rating analysts. This negative impact is more pronounced when the bond issuers are in high-polluting industries. Nevertheless, intense competition among rating agencies can mitigate this negative impact. Further research reveals that the negative effect of air pollution is stronger if analysts work in heavily polluted areas. In our extension study, we also find that on days of high air pollution, rating analysts are less accurate in issuing credit ratings and investors are less sensitive to ratings adjustments made by rating analysts. Our results are robust to controlling for agency*time fixed effects, as well as additional specifications employing the instrumental variable approach, RDD test and placebo tests. Overall, these findings are consistent with the notion that air pollution represents a hidden cost to the capital market.

    The Role of Joining Industry Associations in Improving the Survival of Member Enterprises: Latest Evidence from Online Lending Industry
    Hou Xinyu, Li Guangzhong, Zhang Shuai
    Management Review    2023, 35 (7): 3-13.  
    Abstract239)      PDF (1270KB)(297)      
    To analyze the effectiveness of the reputation mechanism in a typical information asymmetric market of peer-to-peer online lending, this paper develops a three-party evolutionary game model including lending platforms, industry associations and investors. Regarding joining an industry association as a reputation signal, it focuses on analyzing the evolutionary stabilization strategy of the system. Empirical data are collected to verify the reputation-enhancing effect of the industry association. The findings suggest that the effectiveness of reputation mechanism in online lending platforms depends on the certification and screening carried out by third-party institutions, i.e., the active screening by industry associations directly affects the proportion of online lending platforms operating in a self-regulatory manner as well as the survival of the group, and serves as an effective mechanism to achieve an equilibrium separation of high- and low-risk platforms. The empirical results of the coarsened exact matching method reveal that joining industry associations reflects a certain amount of reputation information, which indeed helps platforms strengthen their reputation and thus directly improves the survival of lending platforms. The intermediary effect model supports that the industry association enables the function of social capital empowerment and motivates platforms to apply for and obtain fund depository provided by commercial banks.

    Data Factor Utilization, Intelligence Technology Progress and Endogenous Growth
    Liu Zhengchi, Chen Wenwu, Wei Sichao
    Management Review    2023, 35 (10): 10-21.  
    Abstract225)      PDF (1372KB)(182)      
    Data-intelligence transformation is a core driving force for the sustained economic growth in the new era. The existing literature has discussed the mechanisms of how data factor or intelligent technology affect economic growth respectively, but ignored the key role of data factor in promoting the progress of intelligent technology. Based on this, this paper integrates the utilization of data factors and the progress of intelligent technology into the endogenous growth model framework to explore their joint impact on economic growth. It is found that data factor utilization can promote sustained economic growth by promoting the progress of intelligent technology. Further analysis shows that the model economy has two “restricting effects” and a “growth trap”. The promoting effect of data factor utilization on long-term economic growth is restricted by consumers’ aversion to privacy infringement. The contribution of intelligent technology progress to long-term economic growth is restricted by population growth. The difference in the sequence of digitalized transition may lead to diverged long-term economic growth rate, and the economy with a late transition may fall into a growth trap where the growth rate is continuously lower than that of the economy with an early transition. This study not only provides a theoretical reference for understanding the macro growth mechanism in the era of digital economy, but also provides a theoretical explanation for the fierce competition among major economies in the technological and industrial fields such as big data and artificial intelligence.

    Data Element Empowerment, R&D Decision and Innovation Performance——Empirical Evidence from China Industry
    Song Wei, Cao Wenjing, Zhou Yong
    Management Review    2023, 35 (7): 112-121.  
    Abstract208)      PDF (1242KB)(267)      
    The new round of technological revolution and industrial reform determine that innovation performance depends not only on the improvement of factor allocation efficiency caused by data factor empowerment, but also on R&D decisions to a great extent. Using China's industrial panel data from 2005 to 2018, this paper estimates the effects of data element empowerment and R&D decision-making on innovation performance. The results show that with the significant improvement of data factor enhanced empowerment on the marginal productivity of traditional factors, exploratory R&D decisions motivated by the pursuit of complementary innovation resources and dedicated high-end assets can significantly improve innovation performance. The biased empowerment of data elements improves the high-end allocation efficiency of traditional elements. Aiming at absorbing the energy level of data elements, promoting the utilization R&D decision of high-end allocation of traditional elements contributes to the improvement of innovation level and has a significant positive effect on the improvement of innovation performance. The above findings have profound policy implications:to improve innovation performance, in addition to strengthening the scalability of data element empowerment, it also depends on a greater extent on unblocking the transmission channel of empowerment, improving the top-level overall planning and market mechanism design of R&D decision-making, so that R&D decision-making can play the leading and guiding role of data element empowerment.

    Multiple Driving Paths and Performance of Green Supplier Integration: A Research Based on the Configurational Perspective
    Zhang Qiansong, Cheng Jiazhen, Feng Taiwen, Du Yunzhou
    Management Review    2023, 35 (7): 323-338.  
    Abstract207)      PDF (2543KB)(392)      
    Since 2010, China has become the world's largest industrial producer. However, the traditional energy-consuming and high- polluting manufacturing development model that has brought about increasingly obvious environmental issues is no longer able to meet the requirements of green transformation and high-quality development. Green supplier integration is a significant way to realize green transformation and improve the sustainable competitiveness of firms, and it is necessary to fully consider the matching role of technology, organization and environment to improve the level of green supplier integration. Accordingly, the multiple driving paths and performance of green supplier integration are important issues to be addressed. Based on the TOE framework and configurational perspective, we conduct a configuration analysis on 317 Chinese manufacturing firms and a typical case analysis on configuration solutions by integrating fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and propensity score matching (PSM) methods to explore the differential driving path of supplier green integration and its effect on firm performance. The findings are as follows:(1) Any single factor does not constitute the necessary condition of high green supplier integration, but green training and development play a universal role in producing high green supplier integration; (2) There are four driving paths that constitute high green supplier integration, namely, big data analysis capability and green human resource-driven path under the dual culture of flexibility and control, big data analysis capability and green human resource-driven path under control culture, big data analysis capability and strategic green human resource-driven path under control culture-dominant, incremental big data analysis capability and green human resource-driven path under flexibility culture; (3) The absence of big data analysis capability and green human resource management is the key reason for non-high green supplier integration; (4) High green supplier integration generated by four driving paths has a differential impact on firm performance. The research conclusions can help better understand the complex interaction among multiple factors behind green supplier integration of China's manufacturing industry, and bring practical enlightenment for firm performance management and high-quality development.

    Research on the Construction Mechanism of Data-driven Dynamic Capabilities of Traditional Manufacturing Enterprises: Based on the Case Study of Digital Practice of Wahaha Group Co., Ltd.
    Chen Yu, Chen Yantai, Xie Fuji
    Management Review    2023, 35 (10): 340-352.  
    Abstract201)      PDF (1421KB)(274)      
    Traditional manufacturing enterprises are facing both new opportunities and challenges in the digital environment. How to build data-driven dynamic capabilities is the key to the success of traditional enterprise transformation. Taking Hangzhou Wahaha Group Co., Ltd. as a case study, this paper discusses the construction mechanism of data-driven dynamic capabilities. There are some main findings as follows. First, the data-driven dynamic capabilities of traditional manufacturing enterprises are composed of four dimensions: data-driven opportunity perception capability, data-driven industrial chain synergy capability, data-driven organizational transformation capability and data-driven value ecosystem capability. Second, these four capabilities can be subdivided into 13 main categories. Third, these four capabilities are progressive and mutually reinforcing. Among them, data-driven opportunity perception capability is the basis and prerequisite. Data-driven industrial chain synergy capability is the key and means of implementation. Data-driven organizational transformation capability is the guarantee and the supporting condition. Data-driven value ecosystem capability is leverage, with an amplification effect. The contribution of the paper is that a four-dimensional analysis framework is proposed, then the sources and interaction mechanisms of different dimensions are deeply analyzed. The conclusion of the paper has implications for how traditional manufacturing enterprises should carry out digitalization and transform digital resources into their data-driven dynamic capabilities.

    Liu Luchuan, Liu Chenglin
    Management Review    2023, 35 (12): 182-189.  
    Abstract198)      PDF (1324KB)(289)      
    E-commerce live streaming has brought consumers a new shopping experience. Studying the mechanism of how e-commerce live streaming influences on consumers' purchase intention is of great significance to improve the quality of live streaming service and promote the healthy development of e-commerce live streaming business ecology. Through in-depth interviews with 57 respondents, this study constructs the mechanism model of the influence of e-commerce live streaming on consumers' purchase intention. The results show that, in the context of e-commerce live streaming, commodity factors, streamer factors and live streaming context factors affect consumers' engagement in e-commerce live streaming, and on this basis, they will ultimately affect consumers' purchase intention by influencing consumers' cognitive attitude and emotional attitude; At the same time, consumers' personal internal factors play a moderating role in the influence of commodity factors, streamer factors and live streaming context on consumers' engagement in live streaming.

    The Effect of Supervisor Incivility from the Perspective of Bystander: A Dual Approach Study of Emotion and Cognition
    Zhan Xiaojun, Wan Yi, Li Zhicheng, Li Mingze
    Management Review    2023, 35 (7): 209-220,249.  
    Abstract189)      PDF (1773KB)(215)      
    In recent years, researchers have paid more and more attention to workplace incivility from bystanders' perspective. But most of the existing researches are based on the "deontic justice" perspective and few studies investigate the potential "rational cognition" of bystanders. Drawing on social information processing theory, we explore the effect of supervisor incivility from bystanders' perspective. Based on the three-period survey data from 347 employees, we find that workplace anxiety mediates the relationship between observed supervisor incivility and bystander's self-improvement behavior, while self-concern mediates the relationship between observed supervisor incivility and bystander's ingratiation behavior. Workplace resilience negatively moderates the relationship between observed supervisor incivility and bystanders' workplace anxiety, as well as the indirect effects of workplace anxiety. Workplace resilience positively moderates the relationship between observed supervisor incivility and bystanders' self-concern and the indirect effects of self-concern. Finally, we discuss the theoretical contribution and practical implication of this study.

    The Impact of Market Segmentation on Carbon Emissions from a Spatial Spillover Perspective——Empirical Evidence from 30 Provinces in China
    Pan Xiongfeng, Yuan Sai, Li Jiaqi
    Management Review    2023, 35 (7): 14-27.  
    Abstract185)      PDF (1383KB)(237)      
    Resolving the contradiction between balanced regional economic development and the achievement of carbon emission reduction targets is an important prerequisite for promoting regional market integration and formulating emission reduction policies. Nevertheless, few studies have taken a spatial spillover perspective to explore the mechanisms by which market segmentation affects carbon emissions. Drawing upon China's provincial panel data from 2006 to 2018 and employing spatial Durbin model, this paper tests the direct and indirect (spillover) effects of market segmentation on carbon emissions and further reveals the effect mechanism from a spatial spillover perspective. The findings show that market segmentation has a significant impact on carbon emissions. Local market segmentation has a positive direct effect on carbon emissions while neighboring market segmentation has a negative spillover effect on carbon emissions. Market segmentation promotes the inward shift of carbon emissions closer to home and limits the outward shift of carbon emissions closer to home, but does not inhibit the growth of carbon emissions. In terms of effect mechanisms, market segmentation significantly affects carbon emissions through the effects of economic scale change, industrial restructuring, energy structure optimization and technological innovation. In addition, there is spatial heterogeneity in the impact of market segmentation on carbon emissions between the North and the South, with it being more pronounced in the North.

    Will Green Consumption Be Contagious?——Social Diffusion Effect and Formation Mechanism of Green Consumption
    Wang Jianming, Feng Yu
    Management Review    2023, 35 (7): 185-198.  
    Abstract184)      PDF (1345KB)(197)      
    The social spreading effect of green consumption behavior is increasingly prominent under the mobile internet situation, which plays an important role in promoting the "common green" of the whole society. Taking green consumption as the research starting point, 1056 micro-data are collected through online questionnaire survey to test the social diffusion effect of green consumption and its multiple interaction influence paths in the era of mobile Internet. The research results show that consumers' green purchase behavior, green use behavior and recycling behavior can all promote their intention to care and share green information, forming social diffusion effect; Both product-level and social-level green information play a partial mediating role in the "behavior-sharing" relationship; Marital status and gender roles have partial dual regulatory effects in the first half of the "behavior-concern-sharing" mediation model, but the role of marital status is not stable. On this basis, the dual path behavior diffusion theory is constructed, and the green consumption diffusion mechanisms of "behavior handling behavior (A-C-A)" and "behavior input/output behavior (A-I/O-A)" are proposed. This research extends the theory of green consumption and the theory of social network contagion and diffusion, and provides management enlightenment for society to achieve "common green".

    Impact of Enterprise Digital Transformation on the Risk Prediction of Stock Price Crash——Based on the ED-SPCBoost Model
    Hu Jinjin, Zhao Xuefeng, Wu Delin, Wu Weiwei
    Management Review    2023, 35 (8): 15-30.  
    Abstract181)      PDF (2827KB)(194)      
    Enterprise digital transformation came into being under the effective coupling of digital technology and enterprise development, which has profoundly impacted China's stock price. Based on the optimization of characteristic relationships, this paper constructs an ED-SPCBoost model to explore the impact of enterprise digital transformation on the risk of stock price collapse and the underlying mechanism. The findings are as follows. (1) Digital transformation can effectively reduce the risk of the stock price crash, and the risk of stock price crash shows a phased downward trend of "stable-sensitive-stable" as the degree of transformation increases. (2) Digital transformation plays a more significant role in reducing the risk of the share price collapse of state-owned enterprises. In the mature period of transformation, non-state-owned enterprises account for 78.03%. Non-state-owned enterprises are more willing to accept digital transformation than state-owned enterprises. (3) Digital transformation can reduce the risk of stock price collapse by enhancing enterprise information transparency, improving market evaluation expectations, and improving internal financial stability. The mechanisms underlying the three paths of impact are different. The ED-SPCBoost model proposed in this paper has high robustness and a low error rate. Empirical data verify that it aligns with the prediction law of digitization and stock price collapse. It can provide a valuable reference for digital technology to optimize the governance environment of listed companies and improve the monitoring of financial market risks.

    Green Credit Policy, Credit Resource Allocation and Firm R&D Investment: Empirical Research Based on the Differences-in-Differences Method
    Zhang Chaolin, Liu Fenggen
    Management Review    2023, 35 (7): 122-137.  
    Abstract172)      PDF (1323KB)(121)      
    The implementation of green credit policy is practically important for promoting the high-quality development of China's economy. Firm innovation is an important driving force of high-quality economic development, but the related researches on how green credit policy affects firm R&D investment still needs to be enriched and deepened. Based on the Green Credit Guidelines issued in 2012 as an exogenous event to construct a quasi-natural experiment, using the panel data of listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets from 2009 to 2017, this paper uses the DID method to explore the impact of green credit policy on R&D investment of different types of firms. The results show that the green credit policy significantly inhibited the R&D investment of heavily polluting firms, and the inhibitory effect lasted for a long time. However, no matter in the short term or long term, green credit policy did not significantly promote R&D investment of green firms. The internal mechanism test further reveals that the "capital constraint effect" of green credit policy on heavily polluting firms' R&D investment is greater than that of "Porter effect". The reduction of long-term loans of heavily polluting firms is the reason for the significant decline of R&D investment, while the green credit policy fails to increase the long-term debt financing of green firms, thus failing to promote firm R&D investment. The heterogeneity analysis shows that the R&D investment of state-owned heavily polluting firms decreases more obviously than that of private firms, and the R&D investment of heavily polluting firms in low marketization regions is more constrained by the green credit policy, and the R&D investment declines more significantly. The conclusion of this paper shows that the green credit policy plays a significant role in punishing heavily polluting firms, but not in rewarding green firms. Therefore, how to optimize green financial innovation, improve the supporting effect of green credit on green firms, and alleviate the negative impact of green credit on R&D investment of heavily polluting firms will be an important part of the future development of green finance business for banks.

    Leading Poorly under Challenge Stress? Indirect Influence of Team Leader's Challenge Stress on Subordinates' Creativity
    Li Jiangjin, Liu Chunlin, Li Hu
    Management Review    2023, 35 (7): 199-208.  
    Abstract169)      PDF (1269KB)(258)      
    While challenge stress has received considerable attention in the literature, current researches generally investigate the positive results of challenge stress on employees themselves but seldom concentrate on its negative results. In fact, good stress for individuals is likely to have a bad influence on others through interpersonal interactions-particularly among unequal leader-member relations. Based on the explicit monitoring theory, leaders may become self-focused under challenge stress, immersing themselves in the coping process of self-participation but ignoring the autonomy of subordinates when they advance work. We introduce this theory to propose that challenge stress undertook by leaders would decrease their empowering behaviors, thus adversely affecting subordinates' creativity. A large-scale investigation survey is conducted by three stages to branch teams of a world's top-500 company located in China's eastern cities of an environment in need of employees' creativity. This paper reveals the process about how team leaders' challenge stress brings negative effects on employees' creativity by the mechanism of leader's empowering behaviors. Moderating effects of leaders' accountability to superiors on the above mediating effect are verified, while the moderating role of leaders' accountability to inferiors is not found. This paper expands the research on the role of work stress from the intra-person effect on oneself to the interpersonal impact of leaders on subordinates, and has implications for the theoretical research and management practice of work stress and creativity in organizations.

    Does County-to-City Migration Lead to Low Birth Rate?——Empirical Evidence Based on the Second-child Birth of Rural Migrants
    Liu Zhangsheng, Guo Siqi, Lai Binbin, Zeng Wenhai, Ge Kun
    Management Review    2023, 35 (7): 310-322.  
    Abstract169)      PDF (1489KB)(117)      
    In the context of new-type urbanization, a thorough understanding of what impact county-to-city migration has on the child- bearing plan of rural migrants is important for the optimization of China's family planning policy and the realization of a moderate birth rate in China. This paper uses the data of national dynamic survey of Health and Family Planning of Migrant Population in 2016 to explore the effect that county-to-city migration has on the secomd-child birth of rural migrants and its underlying mechanism. The study shows that:(1) county-to-city migration has a significant negative effect on the second-child birth of rural migrants no matter whether they will live in city for a long time or permanently, and the effect on permanent settlers is more significant; (2) the interruption, selection and adaptation effects all significantly moderate the negative effect; (3) the interruption effect strengthens the negative effect by delaying migrants' first marriage/childbearing age and extending the birth interval; (4) the selection effect spreads the negative effect as rural migrants prefer stable jobs, leave their original birth place where birth rate remaims high, and improve housing finance options; and (5) the adaptation effect amplifies the negative effect as more urban jobs are taken by migrant family members, left-behind elders are no longer able to take care of their grandchildren in city, and urban pension insurance is available to rural migrants. Therefore, in order to achieve a balanced and sustainable population development, efforts should be made to enhance the inclusiveness of childbearing policies, construct a marriage and childbirth market that combines city and county together, improve the marriage and childbearing support system for new migrants, promote the synergistic implementation of the relevant economic and social policies, and create a favorable childbearing environment.

    How does Scene Enable Innovation of New Retail Business Models Based on the Evolution of the Dominant Logic of “People-Goods-Scene”?——A Case Study of Yili Group
    Wang Fu, Liu Junhua, Chang Qing
    Management Review    2023, 35 (9): 337-352.  
    Abstract168)      PDF (8119KB)(129)      
    The increasing enrichment of scenario elements and the continuous strengthening of their functions have driven the evolution of the dominant logic of new retail from "goods" to "people" and then to "scene", and stimulated innovation in business models. However, the underlying innovation mechanism and path are still unclear and this becomes a key factor that restricts the high-quality development of the scenario economy. Therefore, this research takes Yili Group as an example and uses a combination of case study and procedural grounded analysis to explore and reveal the innovative mechanism and path of scenario-enabled new retail business models from the perspective of the evolution of the dominant logic of "people-goods-scene". The results show that:(1) with "goods" as the dominant, scene relies on the dominant logic of product functional value and utilizes data mining to explore users' consumption needs, identify users' consumption demand scene by means of contextual awareness, and empower innovation in new retail business models for standardized configuration of "business scene+consumption need+business context"; (2) with "people" as the dominant, scene relies on the dominant logic of service utility value and uses user portraits to depict users' consumption habits and context integration to identify users' consumption habits scene, empower innovation in new retail business models for personalized configuration of "business scene+consumption habits+business ontext." (3) with "scene" as the dominant, scene relies on the dominant logic of scenario experience value and uses emotional polarity to analyze users' consumption preferences, and leverages on context aggregation to identify users' consumption preference scene and enable innovation in new retail business models for the dual path configuration of "business scene+consumption preference-business context".

    Meaningful Innovation: Conceptual Dimensions, Measurement and Innovation Performance
    Qu Guannan, Jie Yuan, Chen Jin, Wang Luyao, Juan Rogers
    Management Review    2023, 35 (7): 86-95.  
    Abstract165)      PDF (1277KB)(184)      
    Meaningful Innovation (MI), as a new paradigm that leads enterprises to actively respond to social demands in the new era and helps them comprehensively improve their sustainable competitive advantages and achieve systematic transcendence, starts to get attention. However, the relevant studies are still to be mature, especially evidenced by the lack of reliable measurement of the key concepts of the MI and the empirical test of the core framework. Based on the existing literature, this study systematically reviews the theoretical basis of the MI, summarizes and identifies its basic framework and core concepts. Furthermore, interview and questionnaire are used to conduct scale development, and reliability and validity test aiming at the five core dimensions of meaningful innovation, and further verify the significant positive influence of meaning orientation (MO) on innovation performance. On this basis, a reliable measurement model of the MI is built in order to provide implications for the further development of this paradigm.

    Research on Consumer Identification Path in the Context of Social New Retail Business Model
    Wang Bingcheng, Zhao Jingyi, Yang Zhenhua
    Management Review    2023, 35 (8): 198-208.  
    Abstract164)      PDF (1293KB)(201)      
    Consumer identification is an important factor affecting the sustainable development of social new retail business model. However, existing researches pay little attention to the consumer identification path of social new retail business model, so they cannot better guide enterprises to enhance consumer stickiness and promote the development of social new retail business model. Based on this, this paper takes the consumers under the social new retail business model as the sample, and applies the grounded theory to construct a consumer identification path model of the social new retail business model. The results show that:(1) Consumers' use of social new retail business model is influenced by such factors as scene touch, word-of-mouth attraction, brand trust and profit drive; (2) Flow experience is the key reason for consumers to identify with the social new retail business model, including continuous engagement in interaction, platform content immersion and product consumption satisfaction; In addition, network externality will further affect consumers' flow experience; (3) When consumers identify with the social new retail business model, they will generate value transfer behaviors such as use feedback, active sharing and communication, as well as value creation behaviors such as social fission diversion and platform content creation; (4) The continuous identification of consumers needs to be achieved through sticky maintenance, which requires enterprises to strengthen the links of community relations and enhance the value of content, so as to further enhance the cognitive identification and emotional identification of consumers. On this basis, the paper further analyzes and discusses the research results, and puts forward some relevant suggestions.

    Do Fiscal Vertical Imbalances Affect Local Fiscal Expenditure Efficiency?——A Concurrent Discussion on the Moderating Effect of Fiscal Transparency
    He Wensheng, Guo Leilei, Zhang Guoxing
    Management Review    2023, 35 (11): 3-15.  
    Abstract164)      PDF (1284KB)(153)      
    Adjusting the relationship between central and local financial power and improving the efficiency of local fiscal expenditure are not only important means to alleviate local debt risks and improve local governance methods, but also an important part of the deepening fiscal-system reform for national governance modernization. Starting from clarifying the theoretical logic of how vertical fiscal imbalance affects the efficiency of local fiscal expenditure and how fiscal transparency regulates this relationship, this paper conducts an empirical analysis based on panel data of Chinese provincial governments in the period of 2010-2019. The research shows that the current fiscal vertical imbalance promotes the efficiency of fiscal expenditure to a certain extent, though with regional differences, and fiscal transparency can positively adjust the impact of the degree of fiscal vertical imbalance on the efficiency of fiscal expenditure. Therefore, the efficiency of local fiscal expenditure should be improved by tightening budget management system, strengthening public supervision and information disclosure, and adjusting the incentive mechanism of local officials.
