Using data from the National Tax Survey Database for 2008–2016, this research posits that a prevalent gambling culture may foster risk-taking behaviors, which could negatively affect a firm's likelihood of contributing to social security. The negative impacts of a gambling culture are primarily driven by employers' incentive to reduce labor costs and employees' preference for short-term gains, along with their evaluations of cost-benefit trade-offs. The effects are more pronounced in regions experiencing rapid wage growth and in labor-intensive industries. The study also emphasizes education as a strategy to counteract these negative impacts of gambling culture. Furthermore, SMEs that evade contributions have higher ROA and TFP, but also experience increased staff turnover.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 102728"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143579656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This finding is further verified through dynamic effect analysis and stacked regression. The positive effect of carbon ETS on green investor entry is driven by improved green performance, intensified media coverage, and enhanced environmental disclosure. Furthermore, this effect is more pronounced when firms have higher analyst following, lower financial constraints, lower product pricing power, and are located in regions with higher levels of green finance development.

Second, these markets exhibit pronounced interconnectedness and risk spillovers, characterized by the diverse roles that different markets play in transmitting risk. Third, financial resilience reduces network risk spillover effects. Nodes with greater resilience in withstanding “mainshocks” experience fewer “aftershocks”, thereby mitigating spillovers across the system. Notably, this mitigating effect is most pronounced in the early stages with shorter convergence periods.

Based on the detailed vector data of highway networks in the OpenStreetMap (OSM), we develop a novel measure of transport accessibility across 1914 district/county pairs in 256 Chinese cities (2013−2022), employing GIS-based spatial analysis. Our findings reveal that an enhancement in intra-regional transport accessibility significantly mitigates the degree of corporate financing constraints, with a marginal effect of approximately 1.2 %. This result remains robust after subjecting it to a series of robustness checks and effectively handling the endogeneity problem through the use of an instrumental variable (IV). This improvement effect occurs by reducing the time cost of corporate financing, alleviating information asymmetry, and strengthening the supply chain finance. Moreover, this positive effect is relatively more pronounced among debt-financing enterprises, capital-intensive enterprises, higher supplier concentration enterprises, and those located in cities equipped with subway. We also find a significant substitution effect between digital infrastructure and regional transportation in facilitating corporate financing. Furthermore, the financial services market benefits from this process, highlighting a mutually advantageous outcome for both enterprises and the broader financial ecosystem.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 102724"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143529123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
