By using the regional Fintech index, we identified potential channels through which Fintech affects firms’ OFDI. We show that firms that are more financially constrained exhibit a disproportionally higher OFDI level in cities with better-developed Fintech services. We further find that Fintech development promotes lending to firms and facilitates OFDI because Fintech intensifies bank loan competition. Our research emphasises the importance of financial innovation driven by technology on the behaviour of enterprise internationalisation.","PeriodicalId":45235,"journal":{"name":"Global Economic Review","volume":"11 1","pages":"326 - 345"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139324260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper investigates whether alleviating domestic income inequality could promote international trade. From the redistribution perspective, this study examines the relationship between state redistributive capacity and international trade by using unbalanced panel data of 153 countries from 1960 to 2018. According to our empirical findings, strengthening redistributive capacity promotes international trade by enhancing domestic society's perception of free trade. In addition, this promoting effect is independent of trade mode but varies with trade content, trade period, and trade subjects.","PeriodicalId":45235,"journal":{"name":"Global Economic Review","volume":"221 1","pages":"167 - 186"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77011477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper employs the hypothetical extraction method, PageRank algorithm and the 2005–2019 Comtrade database to analyse the impacts of domestic market scale on the economy’s resilience in the value chains and conditions under which it is affected. The empirical results show that expanding the scale of the domestic market would significantly improve the economy’s resilience in both the RCEP and G7 value chains. Our conclusions support the enrichment of pathways for economies with relatively backward technologies to cope with unexpected shocks and gradually restore economic vitality.","PeriodicalId":45235,"journal":{"name":"Global Economic Review","volume":"51 1","pages":"134 - 166"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90738946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using unique real-time survey data from South Korea collected during the COVID-19 pandemic, we find that working from home negatively affects the mental health of workers, with greater effects on women and those who are primarily responsible for housework while also maintaining market work. Surprisingly, workers who live with children in the household do not suffer from the negative effects of working from home. Our findings suggest that family-work interaction may be an important factor in the optimal design of working from home.","PeriodicalId":45235,"journal":{"name":"Global Economic Review","volume":"13 1","pages":"18 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84785648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
