Governments commonly subsidize manufacturers’ carbon emission reduction (CER) but may incur retailers’ fairness concerns. Considering this situation, in this paper, we model a two-level dual-channel supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer under the government’s LCSPs. We use a game theoretical approach to analyze the internal relationship between LCSPs, online channel share, and retailer’s fairness concerns. Further, we discuss the incentives for manufacturers and retailers to develop online channels. We find that regardless of the channel structure, increasing subsidies does not mitigate the negative impact of retailers’ fairness concerns on the supply chain. Whether expanding online channels can reduce the negative effect of retailers’ fairness concerns on the supply chain depends on both the channel structure and the carbon coefficient. By comparing models, we find that manufacturers or retailers developing online channels can improve CER, with the highest CER achieved in Model M, generating high profits for manufacturers. Whether retailers developing online channels will harm manufacturers’ profit depends on the size of the online channel share. The findings of our study provide a guide for supply chain participants to make the optimal carbon emission and channel development strategies when facing government subsidies and having fairness concerns.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50541,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142423303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their goal is to identify products of interest from which users have not browsed. To achieve this, prior work often relies on negative sampling strategies to guide the learning of user and product representations. In these strategies, products that users have not browsed are treated as negative labeled samples (products that users dislike). However, the negative sampling strategy fundamentally contradicts the goal of recommendation systems. With the number of products further increases, more “positive but not been browsed” products will be treated as negative labeled samples, leading to the introduction of noisy supervision signals during model training and thereby affecting recommendation performance. This paper proposes a Graph-based Bootstrapped Latent Recommendation model, dubbed GBLR. GBLR is a self-supervised framework that is trained using only positive user–product pairs. It utilizes a graph convolutional network to aggregate local neighborhood features of users and products, bootstrapping latent contrastive views. Subsequently, a symmetric cosine similarity loss function aligns the contrastive views of positive user-product pairs, guiding the model to learn consistent representations of users and products. With this self-supervised approach, the model can effectively learn the user and product representations in the absence of negative labeled samples. Experiments on three public datasets show that the proposed GBLR can effectively complete the recommendation task and outperforms the state-of-the-art baseline models. In the era of e-commerce, the innovative research on recommendation methods conducted in this work can optimize platform operations, enhance user experience and merchant revenue, thereby achieving a win–win situation for all parties involved, and holds significant practical value.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50541,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142163458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through the comparison of equilibrium profits, the participants’ financing and recycling channel preferences are explored. The results show that the recycling platform is willing to provide financing service for the manufacturer with a larger capital gap, but there are feasibility conditions for the setting of its loan interest rate. The manufacturer with less initial capital tends to choose the financing scheme with a relatively low interest rate, while the reduction of capital gap increases the propensity for bank financing. The lower platform commission prompts the manufacturer to implement direct recycling, and the increase in cost saving rate of remanufacturing and platform interest rate makes the superiority of direct recycling even more significant. However, entrusted recycling is always more profitable for the recycling platform regardless of the financing scheme. Furthermore, differentiated product sales and portfolio financing can have a certain impact on the manufacturer’s financing and recycling decisions.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":50541,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142136895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To mitigate this issue, retailers can adopt blockchain technology for product traceability to enhance consumer trust, i.e., blockchain-traceable products may be sold in live streaming. Our paper presents three analytical models under various return policies to explore how live streaming and blockchain technology interact in e-commerce. Retailers can invest in live streaming with influencers to attract consumers and in blockchain technology to reduce product returns, benefiting from a <em>demand-enhancing effect</em> and a <em>price-enhancing effect</em>, respectively. The retailer’s investment strategy between live streaming and blockchain technology depends on the interactions of these two effects, moderated by the retailer’s budget type, the market commission level of live streaming, and the traceability cost of blockchain technology. For budget-constrained retailers, live streaming and blockchain technology act as substitutes. When the commission level is low (high) and the traceability cost is high (low), the demand-enhancing (price-enhancing) effect dominates the price-enhancing (demand-enhancing) effect, thus the retailer invests in live streaming (blockchain technology) as a substitute for blockchain technology (live streaming). Conversely, for budget-unconstrained retailers, they may act as complements, prompting investment in both when commission levels and traceability costs are low. The retailer does not invest in either when both the commission level and traceability cost are high. We extend our results to a full refund policy to show the robustness of our result and find that it reduces the retailer’s incentive to invest in live streaming or blockchain technology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50541,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Commerce Research and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142151734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We collect data from 353 consumers who have live shopping experiences in China and analyze the research model with the structural equation model approach.

Notably, the influence of perceived diagnosticity on purchase intention is more pronounced among older consumers, whereas the impact of psychological distance on purchase intention is stronger among younger consumers.
