Revisiting the effects of e-shopping on shopping trips: Empirical evidence from Chengdu, China
The rapid proliferation of e-commerce has profoundly changed the way people shop and travel. To date, numerous empirical studies have examined the impact of e-shopping on shopping trips. However, there is still no consensus on this topic, which is probably because the existing analytical methods cannot effectively measure the relationship. This study aims to revisit the travel effects of e-shopping using current shopping behavior as a reference point, ensuring the temporal precedence of causal inference. Utilizing data from 742 respondents in Chengdu, China, we found that 41.5 %–68.2 % of the respondents would be inclined to increase their frequencies of shopping travel for four categories of products (i.e., clothes, books, packaged foods, and daily necessities) if these goods were not available online, suggesting stronger substitution effects. Additionally, the substitution effect varies notably among product categories, with clothes showing a stronger substitution effect compared to others. In addition, regression outcomes suggest that longer smartphone use history, greater e-shopping enjoyment, and lower street density increase the likelihood of substituting shopping travel.
期刊介绍:
Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of transport management such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising, privatisation and commercialisation. Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal''s audience, we seek to contribute to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice. Potential volume themes include: -Sustainability and Transportation Management- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport''s Carbon Footprint- Marketing Transport/Branding Transportation- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations- Logistics and the Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance- Reliability in the Freight Sector
