The social aspects of culture and fraud could potentially increase or decrease the propensities of individuals to purchase health insurance, and our empirical analysis informs us in this regard. For this purpose, we employ data for the year 2017 (or the closest year available) across states in the United States for most variables in the model setup. To account for year-to-year variability in the size of the uninsured population and the fraud data, mean annual averages over the years 2017–2022 are used. Employing OLS estimation to cross-sectional data, the results show that cultural tightness (denoting social/cultural cohesion, measured via an index) lowers the propensities to acquire health insurance, and greater fraud (i.e., fraud reports in a US state) also undermines health insurance coverage, albeit with relatively less statistical support. The impact of higher insurance premia depressing insurance coverage is found to be consistent with intuition. The scope of the government, via Medicaid expansion to provide health coverage to certain population groups, was relatively more effective in increasing insurance coverage than the sheer size of the government (i.e., total government spending). The proximity of a state to foreign borders (Canada and Mexico) did not matter. Other things being the same, states with larger land areas faced special challenges in providing health insurance coverage. The findings have importance for the formulation of policies in the public and private sectors, and especially flesh out the crucial, and largely neglected, influence of culture on health insurance purchases.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"46 5","pages":"2783-2794"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144213948","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 study analyses a sample of Chinese listed companies from 2011 to 2021 to construct a digital transformation index and assess the resource allocation efficiency of the cities in which these companies operate. It empirically investigates the impact of digital transformation on resource allocation efficiency, while addressing issues of heterogeneity. The findings are as follows: (1) digital transformation enhances resource allocation efficiency; (2) it influences this efficiency by optimizing the structure of human capital, fostering enterprise innovation, and mitigating information asymmetries; and (3) the positive impact of digital transformation on resource allocation efficiency is more pronounced in regions with lower per capita income and smaller urban populations, as well as among high-tech, manufacturing, and state-owned enterprises in these areas. This study contributes to both theoretical and empirical research on resource allocation efficiency and offers a new perspective on digital transformation. It serves as a reference for policymakers in developing relevant digital policies based on regional contexts, provides a foundation for enterprises to expedite their digital transformation efforts, and establishes the groundwork for future research on the role of digital transformation in promoting development in both developed and developing countries.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"46 4","pages":"2688-2704"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143944678","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}

However, this technology will also intensify the competition between authorized retailers and third-party retailers. On the other hand, as intermediaries, e-platforms' profits have also become elusive. We aim to investigate how blockchain technology impacts optimal pricing strategies and profit distribution in a dual-channel supply chain composed of one manufacturer, one e-platform, and two e-tailers. By adopting a Stackelberg game framework, the results show that (1) the e-platforms may not necessarily benefit from blockchain; only when the commission rate and unit usage cost are both small (or large) enough can the platform achieve higher profit. (2) The application of blockchain can yield extra reputation benefits for third-party retailer, while the retail prices of both channels may also be higher. (3) The Pareto improvements show that when manufacturer sells products to official retailer and third-party retailer at different prices, the possibility of successful blockchain implementation increases. (4) When the third-party retailer shares blockchain usage cost, its optimal channel price rises and demand decreases. For the official retailer, changes in pricing depend on competitive intensity. The manufacturer tends to reduce wholesale price under the strategy, benefiting both e-tailers and enhancing product competitiveness and supply chain efficiency.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"46 4","pages":"2562-2582"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143944879","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}

First, financial reporting inquiry letters exert a temporary restraining effect on major shareholder expropriation, necessitating continuous issuance of letters by stock exchanges to reinforce this governance role. Second, the internal and external environment influences the governance effectiveness of financial reporting inquiry letters. The inhibitory effect of financial reporting inquiry letters on major shareholder expropriation is more pronounced for companies without relaxing short-selling controls, with higher marketization degrees, and with weaker exit threats from non-controlling large shareholders. Third, financial reporting inquiry letters can attract investor attention and increase litigation risk, thereby curbing major shareholder expropriation. Fourth, financial reporting inquiry letters have a deterrent effect on major shareholder expropriation in peer companies that have not gotten letters, but they cannot effectively impact companies in the same region that have not received letters. This article confirms the inhibitive influence of non-punitive supervision on major shareholder expropriation, providing empirical evidence regarding the governance of Type II agency issues in Chinese listed companies.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"46 4","pages":"2504-2523"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143944876","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}

Using a comprehensive panel dataset of 11,036 firm-year observations from 1438 Chinese listed manufacturers (2012–2020), we employ Tobit regression to validate our hypotheses. Our findings confirm the inverted U-shaped relationship between TD and innovation performance, which is significantly moderated by governance mechanisms that mitigate agency costs. The results withstand a battery of robustness checks and address endogeneity concerns.
