Latest ArticlesUsing China’s listed manufacturing companies from 2011 to 2022 as research samples, whether government subsidies obtained by listed manufacturing companies affect the development of new quality productivity was empirically tested. The research results show that government subsidies can promote the manufacturing listed companies to improve the level of new quality productivity, and it is found that enterprise performance plays a certain intermediary role. The group test further distinguishes the property right nature and company size, and it is found that non-state-owned companies and small scale manufacturing listed companies can improve their new quality productivity more if they get government subsidies. This conclusion can provide some theoretical support for improving the level of new quality productivity of listed manufacturing companies, establishing a standardized government subsidy system, and reasonably determining government subsidy standards.
In order to further understand the impact of the development of the digital economy on the income gap between urban and rural areas, the panel data of 287 prefecture-level cities in China from 2011 to 2022 were selected as samples for quantitative empirical verification. It is found that there is a U-shaped relationship between the development of digital economy and the urban-rural income gap narrowing first and then expanding. Mechanism analysis shows that the digital economy affects the urban-rural income gap by influencing the level of innovation and human capital. In addition, the degree of marketization plays a moderating role, which will strengthen the narrowing effect of the urban-rural income gap in the early stage of the development of the digital economy, and will inhibit the widening of the urban-rural income gap after crossing the inflection point. Further analysis shows that the relationship between the digital economy and the urban-rural income gap is more significant in the western region and the region with a lower degree of industrial structure upgrading.
The problem of environmental protection and sustainable development is increasingly concerned, and how to promote the green innovation of enterprises has become the focus. Based on the data of China’s A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2023, the mechanism of institutional co-ownership on corporate green innovation behavior was explored. It is found that institutional co-ownership can effectively promote corporate green innovation, and this conclusion remains valid after various robustness tests. Corporate ESG(environmental, social, and governance) shows a partial mediating effect between institutional co-ownership and corporate green innovation, that is, institutional co-ownership can motivate companies to improve their ESG performance to a certain extent, thus promoting the realization of green innovation. The digital transformation of enterprises has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between corporate co-ownership and corporate green innovation.
Employees in science and technology enterprises was taken as the survey object, and dual work passion was taken as the intermediary variable to further explore the impact mechanism of career call on turnover intention. Based on the correlation analysis and regression analysis of 404 employee sample data collected by high-tech enterprises, the empirical study shows that career calling has a significant positive impact on work passion, but no significant impact on turnover intention. Forced work passion has a significant positive impact on turnover intention, while harmonious work passion has a significant negative impact on turnover intention. Work passion plays a completely intermediary role in career calling and turnover intention. Based on the research conclusions, it can be concluded that improving the occupational calling level of employees in science and technology enterprises can enhance the work passion of employees, reduce the turnover tendency and improve work efficiency.
Developing new quality productive forces is an inherent requirement and an important focus for promoting high-quality development. Based on the perspective of peer group effects, the industry peer group effects of the development level of new quality productive forces for A-share listed companies in China from 2011 to 2022 were examined. It is found that there is a significant peer group effect in the development of new quality productive forces in the industry-based peer group classification standard. In terms of the formation mechanism, the learning mechanism and competition mechanism are the main reasons for the peer group effect of new quality productive forces. The heterogeneity analysis shows that the new quality productive forces level of peer group enterprises can better promote the development of focal enterprises in the environment of state-owned enterprises and medium-level marketization process.
Taking 75 prefecture-level cities (or districts) across eight provinces in the Yellow River Basin from 2006 to 2022 as the research object, green technological innovation and ecological economy evaluation indicators were constructed. The coupling coordination degree and spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of these two factors were analyzed using the coupling coordination model, kernel density estimation, and Moran’s I index. The results show that the coupling coordination level between green technological innovation and ecological economy has increased, with significant regional differences. The coupling coordination disparity between regions has gradually decreased, indicating a trend toward balanced development within the basin. Positive spatial autocorrelation exists between green technological innovation and ecological economy, but this agglomeration effect has weakened over time. These findings suggest that the Yellow River Basin’s development is becoming more coordinated, although regional disparities remain.
ESG(environmental, social, and governance)is a research hotspot under the background of the “dual carbon” goal and high-quality development. Based on the panel data of logistics enterprises from 2012 to 2022, the impact of ESG performance on the total factor productivity (TFP) of logistics enterprises was empirically tested. It is found that ESG has a significant positive impact on the improvement of logistics enterprises’ TFP, and the effect is more prominent in non-state-owned enterprises and large-scale enterprises. Further research shows that government subsidies and enterprise innovation play a mediating role in the process. The conclusion provides suggestions for promoting the green and high-quality development of the logistics industry.
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, particularly in areas such as urban transportation and environmental impact, the potential for widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles has become a significant topic of inquiry. Online surveys and statistical analysis were conducted to examine the influence of media environments (mass media, social media, and electronic word of mouth) on the purchasing intentions for autonomous vehicles, while also considering the moderating role of gender. The results indicate that social media has a positive effect on purchasing intentions, especially among male users, whereas mass media and electronic word of mouth do not show significant effects. These findings provide insights into how different media environments can affect the market acceptance of autonomous vehicles, offering important references for the development of urban transportation and sustainable social practices.
New-type industrialization is accelerating,which puts forward higher requirements for the stability, scalability, security and intelligence of Internet basic resources. In order to improve the technological innovation capability of Internet basic resources such as domain names, IP addresses and AS numbers, innovation institutions in the field of Internet basic resources need to rely on national science and technology innovation projects to carry out major technological breakthroughs and improve platform service capabilities, they need to establish an independent innovation project system to accelerate technological innovation and cultivate scientific and technological talents. Therefore, the demand for innovation of Internet basic resources was analyzed. The construction path of hierarchical and classified independent innovation project system was introduced, a hierarchical layout system of independent innovation projects covered was built by six categories of projects, including strategic planning, policy theory, standard system, key technologies, system tools and platform solutions, and establishes a project approval mechanism that combines top-down and bottom-up approaches. It aims to build a system of independent innovation projects with reasonable layout, scientific management and comprehensive coverage, thus promoting self-reliance and self-improvement of scientific and technological innovation in the field of Internet basic resources, and helping to accelerate the promotion of new-type industrialization.
Various types of sedimentary deposits are widely distributed in the mountainous areas of northern Guizhou, among which landslide deposits are the most common. A landslide deposit on the inner side of a highway in the region was analyzed. The mechanism and evolution mode of rainfall disasters in the deposit was studied through refined investigation and measurement, numerical simulation and other techniques. The landslide accumulation body was affected by multiple rounds of rainfall in the early stage, and the shallow surface of the slope has experienced multiple local instability and damage, resulting in cracks in the mortar retaining wall, burial of the concrete retaining wall, severe damage to the road surface structure, and difficulty in passage. Under later rainfall conditions, there is still a possibility of local instability or even overall instability. The numerical simulation results of rainfall show that the accumulation body is in an unsaturated state in its natural state. Continuous heavy rainfall will promote the development of the soil from unsaturated to saturated state. During the rainfall process, the transient saturation zone gradually expands and deepens from the slope surface, and by the end of the rainfall, the entire slope soil body has almost reached saturation state. Affected by the water barrier effect of bedrock, infiltrated rainwater collects at the interface between the foundation and the cover, and pore water continuously migrates towards the foot of the slope under the action of gravity, resulting in high pore water pressure at the interface and foot of the slope. On the one hand, the lubrication and softening of gravel soil by pore water promote the structural weakening and mechanical strength attenuation of the soil. On the other hand, high pore water pressure plays a role in reducing the effective stress of the soil, resulting in a decrease in the anti sliding force of the slope, which in turn leads to overall sliding along the foundation cover interface. However, the process of accumulation body developing into landslide under heavy rainfall can be divided into four stages, namely: ①full rainfall infiltration, ②partial saturation of slope surface, ③expansion of saturated area, local instability, ④overall instability and damage. In the early stage, multiple local instability and damage only developed to stage ③. In the later stage, if such heavy rainfall or even extreme rainstorm occurs, the colluvial accumulation body is very likely to have overall damage, which will cause complete road blocking and threaten pedestrians and vehicles in the process.
