To enhance the reliability of our financial efficiency assessments, we employed an intricate econometric method using two-stage network data envelopment analysis (DEA) and bootstrap techniques. We additionally applied the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) to determine changes in efficiency over time in the Indian context. The research provides valuable insights into MFI performance using network data envelopment analysis, the Bootstrap model, and the Malmquist Productivity Index. The results yield that Bharat Financial, Rashtriya Seva Samiti, and Lok Biradri Trust are the most efficient institutions, and Annapurna Co-operative has the lowest efficiency of 0.6920 per overall average financial efficiency score, whereas Dhosa has the most significant overall MPI score. On average, these MFIs have a financial efficiency rate of 85.5%, with a mean efficiency score of 0.835 in stages 1 and 2 and 0.97544 total MPI. Hence, the MFIs are financially efficient and sustainable. These findings emphasize and provide invaluable insights to the government and industry practitioners in their policy-making to improve the essential role that MFIs play in promoting sustainable development and accomplishing the goal of poverty alleviation, contributing to the economic development and empowerment of poor people.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"46 5","pages":"2968-2985"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144214265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By integrating panel data analysis with a theoretical framework linking digital economic growth, marketization, and green innovation, this research uncovers key dynamics shaping sustainable development. Findings reveal that advancements in the digital economy significantly promote regional green innovations, with marketization serving as a vital conduit that amplifies this effect. Moreover, marketization exhibits dual impacts, both enhancing and moderating the sustainability outcomes driven by digital growth. These insights offer theoretical contributions by clarifying the causal mechanisms among digital economies, market forces, and innovation, while practically suggesting the need for a collaborative “enterprise-public-government” framework and robust market-driven innovation systems to foster green development.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"46 5","pages":"2895-2910"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144213761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This can lead to simultaneous profit enhancement for both manufacturers, challenging conventional competitive dynamics. Furthermore, the magnitude of the spillover effect significantly impacts adoption decisions. Low spillover leads to a prisoner's dilemma, where independent adoption is likely. Conversely, high spillover encourages simultaneous adoption, achieving a Pareto-optimal equilibrium.

New infrastructure, epitomized by network and information infrastructure construction, has emerged as a pivotal global strategy to stimulate economic growth. Its impact on the supply chain risk (SCR) of enterprises deserves in-depth exploration. Employing the staggered difference-in-difference (DID) approach, this study investigates the influence and mechanisms of new infrastructure construction (NIC) on the SCR of enterprises from a perspective of supply–demand balance, leveraging the ‘Broadband China’ strategy as a quasi-natural experiment. The results indicate that NIC can mitigate the SCR of enterprises, a conclusion that remains robust after rigorous endogeneity and robustness testing. Mechanism analysis suggests that the enhancement of the level of enterprises' intelligent manufacturing and the reduction of the concentration of upstream and downstream serve as two effective channels through which NIC reduces the SCR of enterprises. Heterogeneity analysis shows that NIC more effectively reduces SCR for large-scale and high-tech enterprises at the enterprise level. At the industry level, NIC is particularly effective in reducing SCR within highly competitive and technology-intensive sectors. Additionally, at the regional level, NIC significantly inhibits SCR for enterprises in areas prone to high natural disaster risk. This study validates the fortifying effect of NIC on the supply chain security of enterprises, providing theoretical references and empirical evidence for enhancing the resilience of global micro supply chains.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"46 5","pages":"2795-2809"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144214102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
