This study takes an incomplete contract perspective and examines whether the corporate platform transformation process incentivises tax compliance by constructing indicators for platform transformation. These results indicate that corporate platform transformation significantly promotes tax compliance behaviour. This conclusion holds, even after a series of robustness tests. The aforementioned effects are also constrained by management incentive levels, tax incentives, corporate nature, and the level of platform economy development. Further mechanism tests reveal that platform transformation generates tax compliance effects by addressing the incompleteness of contracts between shareholders and management, as well as between the enterprise and external investors. The regression results of the moderating effect model suggest that media supervision and executive academic backgrounds positively motivate the relationship between corporate platform transformations and tax compliance. This study provides valuable insights and implications for optimising the internal governance structures of platform enterprises, reducing tax losses, improving the tax system, and promoting the healthy development of the platform econcomy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54200,"journal":{"name":"Economic Analysis and Policy","volume":"85 ","pages":"Pages 1931-1948"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143509882","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}

Based on the panel data of 127 developing economies around the world from 2000 to 2021, this study employs the multi-period DID model to investigate the role of China's foreign digital aid in influencing the level of income inequality in developing economies. The study finds that China's foreign digital aid has significantly reduced income inequality among recipient economies. Further analysis shows that there is an intriguing correlation between digital aid modalities and its effectiveness of implementation. When China's foreign digital aid is an OOF-like program, it can significantly improve income inequality in recipient economies, yet when it is an ODA-like program, it can increase income inequality. In addition, the effectiveness of aid is influenced by the income levels of the recipient economies. Digital aid proves to be more effective in nations with high to middle income economies in comparison to nations with low-income economies. Therefore, the acceptance of China's digital aid has an important role to play in reducing the level of income inequality in developing economies that cannot be ignored.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54200,"journal":{"name":"Economic Analysis and Policy","volume":"85 ","pages":"Pages 1760-1775"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143474671","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}

Leveraging the enforcement of the CSISC shareholding program, we investigate the influence of the public-plus-private enforcement on investment-to-price sensitivity. We find that the CSISC shareholding program significantly increases the investment-to-price sensitivity of pilot firms. We further show that the CSISC shareholding program facilitates managerial learning from stock prices by improving corporate governance and increasing the amount of private information in stock prices. In addition, we find that the impact of the CSISC shareholding program, as a form of public-plus-private enforcement, is unlikely to be distorted by political connections and is also unlikely to crowd out the oversight from minority shareholders.

The results show that the pilot free trade zone policy characterized by trade liberalization have a positive effect on energy efficiency gains in pilot cities. Simultaneously it creates a slight spatial spillover effect on energy efficiency improvements in non-pilot neighboring cities with strong economic ties. Trade liberalization is more likely to promote energy efficiency in cities with low foreign trade dependence and in non-provincial cities. Economies of scale through industrial agglomeration, foreign trade and technological innovation are important channels for the role of trade liberalization on energy efficiency.
