As per the self-determination and social cognitive theory, the communal environment impacts peers and imitates role models or reliable sources in their involvement patterns.

The research discovered that peer repudiation, reputation, and online social interactions favorably affect the contributed knowledge. However, knowledge-seeking and earning virtual badges such as gold and bronze usually negatively impact it. Furthermore, it was revealed that the effect of virtual badges on contributed knowledge was positively moderated by peer recognition.

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":"68 ","pages":"Article 101447"},"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":"68 ","pages":"Article 101446"},"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}
