Project description:Enterprise financialization will block the equipment update and technological innovation of enterprises by crowding out the main business funds. The risks and benefits of supply chain concentration will affect the enterprise financialization. This paper selects the panel data of A-share listed companies in China from 2009 to 2021, and uses fixed effect regression to analyze the impact of supply chain concentration on enterprise financialization. The conclusions show: both suppliers and customers concentration significantly promote the financialization of enterprises, and this conclusion is still valid after a series of tests; This kind of financialization effect is heterogeneous in four aspects: the nature of property rights, the scale of enterprises, the intensity of industrial competition and the level of economic development in the region where the enterprises are located; the mechanism analysis show that customer concentration can affect enterprise financialization through upstream commercial credit, but supplier concentration cannot affect enterprise financialization through downstream commercial credit.

Project description:This study provides evidence for the supply network position influencing innovation performance and the moderating effect of digital transformation. Supply chain relationships have been evaluated in earlier research to demonstrate how concentrations of customers and suppliers may either favorably or adversely impact innovation. These metrics, however, only take into account how closely a firm is connected to its direct customers or suppliers. This study integrates the top five suppliers and customers of Chinese listed manufacturing firms and considers the relationship embeddedness of each firm's direct customers and suppliers, as well as the structure embeddedness among the customers' customers, customers' suppliers, suppliers' customers, and suppliers' suppliers to reveal the true impact of supply chain relationships on innovation performance. The top five suppliers and consumers of each firm are chosen to build a supply network for each year using panel data of listed Chinese manufacturing firms from 2013 to 2020. Social network analysis is used to determine network centrality and structural holes. The results show that in the supply network, network centrality and structural holes are significantly negatively correlated with innovation performance, especially in small and medium-sized firms, non-state-owned firms, and firms in recession phase. According to the moderating effect model, digital transformation is an efficient way to reduce the negative effect of supply network position on innovation performance. The research results will further improve the supply network cooperation mechanism, which is of great significance for improving supply chain resilience and firms' innovation.

Project description:Graphical abstract This study applies an empirical analysis to examine whether supply chain disruption is caused by the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that was first reported in Wuhan, China, on December 31, 2019. The study’s findings indicate a link between the COVID-19 outbreak and the disruption of logistics and supply chains along with negative cumulative abnormal returns within Taiwanese firms manufacturing products in China and marketing them globally. This is the first study to examine the outbreak of the COVID-19 and the disruption of the supply chain and its effect on the stock market. The empirical results provide insights for business management in reconsidering their global supply chain strategies for the risk of disruption caused by similar epidemics occurs in the future.

Project description:This study aims at the problem of reconstruction the unknown links in debt networks among enterprises. We use the topological matrix of the enterprise debt network as the object of reconstruction and use the time series data of accounts receivable and payable as input and output information in the debt network to establish an underdetermined linear system about the topological matrix of the debt network. We establish an iteratively reweighted least-squares algorithm, which is an algorithm in compressed sensing. This algorithm uses reweighted [Formula: see text]-minimization to approximate [Formula: see text]-norm of the target vectors. We solve the [Formula: see text]-minimization problem of the underdetermined linear system using the iteratively reweighted least-squares algorithm and obtain the reconstructed topological matrix of the debt network. Simulation experiments show that the topology matrix reconstruction method of enterprise debt networks based on compressed sensing can reconstruct over 70% of the unknown network links, and the error is controlled within 2%.

Project description:Based on the data of A-share listed companies in China from 2016 to 2020, this study empirically analyzes the relationship among corporate social responsibility, debt financing cost and enterprise innovation by constructing a regulated mediation effect model. The results show that enterprises perform social responsibility actively can enhance the level of enterprise innovation. Besides, debt financing cost plays a part of the intermediary role between corporate social responsibility and enterprise innovation. It is found that market competition degree positively regulates the relationship between corporate social responsibility and enterprise innovation, and market competition degree strengthens the part of the intermediary effect of debt financing cost. The conclusions not only help to reveal the impact mechanism of corporate social responsibility on enterprise innovation, but also provide empirical evidence for promoting enterprises to actively assume social responsibility, improve the level of innovation, and provide empirical evidence for the government to formulate corresponding policies according to the degree of competition in different markets.

Project description:This study aims to evaluate the risk levels of intelligent management in Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) through the application of the Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE) model. It begins by outlining the structure of the green supply chain (GSC), encompassing various components such as suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors, while incorporating considerations of environmental and sustainability factors. Data is collected from Company Y through a questionnaire survey, and the FCE model is employed to assess the risk levels of intelligent management within GSCM. The study identifies that Company Y faces high-risk factors in supply chain management, including customer demand fluctuations, inadequate supplier capacity, and reliance on exclusive suppliers, with a risk rating of 4. Additionally, moderate-risk factors, such as partnerships, policies, cash flow, technological capabilities, and internal production management, were rated at a risk level of 3. Based on the risk assessment results, the study proposes several recommendations for improvement. These include reinforcing the enforcement of environmental policies, establishing mechanisms for supply chain information transparency, and promoting clean production technologies. These recommendations are intended to assist the company in better adhering to environmental regulations and fostering sustainable supply chain development. The study's innovation lies in the successful integration of the FCE model into the supply chain risk assessment framework, effectively combining subjective evaluations with objective data to improve the accuracy of the assessment. The findings provide scientific evidence for companies to manage risks and formulate strategies, while also offering new insights into the multidimensional nature of supply chain risks, encompassing social, economic, environmental, and technological dimensions.

Project description:This paper uses data of Chinese listed enterprises and economic policy uncertainty index for empirical analysis, and conducts a study through three channels of monetary policy uncertainty affecting enterprise innovation investment, and finds that economic policy uncertainty has a positive promotion effect on enterprise R&D investment, and its increase in tension is instead a clear signal that can effectively increase enterprise R&D investment, this promotion effect seems unexpected, this paper Through theoretical analysis and combined with the actual practice, this incentive effect is found to be in line with reality. However, in the subsequent heterogeneity analysis, this paper finds that it positively promotes R&D investment when economic policy uncertainty is low and may have a suppressive effect on R&D investment when monetary policy uncertainty is high.

Project description:The firm׳s suppliers are in most social responsibility literature considered a branch of the firm׳s stakeholders that may not necessarily benefit directly from the firm׳s social responsibility practices. However recent studies on CSR from the developing country׳s perspective has highlighted the importance that needs to be placed on supply chain improvement. Thus, this article presents data on the effect of supply chain improvement as a construct of corporate social responsibility on operational competency. The study employed a descriptive quantitative research design survey method. The study population consists of 1748 employees from four top oil and gas firms quoted in the Nigerian stock exchange. A sample size of 350 employees were selected. Data was analysed using statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Regression analysis was employed as the statistical tool of analysis. The field data set is made widely accessible in this article.

Project description:IntroductionThis study investigates the application of machine learning (ML) algorithms, a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), to predict financial distress in companies. Given the critical need for reliable financial health indicators, this research evaluates the predictive capabilities of various ML techniques on firm-level financial data.MethodsThe dataset comprises financial ratios and firm-specific variables from 464 firms listed on the TSX. Multiple ML models were tested, including decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), and artificial neural networks (ANN). Recursive feature elimination with cross-validation (RFECV) and bootstrapped CART were also employed to enhance model stability and feature selection.ResultsThe findings highlight key predictors of financial distress, such as revenue growth, dividend growth, cash-to-current liabilities, and gross profit margins. Among the models tested, the ANN classifier achieved the highest accuracy at 98%, outperforming other algorithms.DiscussionThe results suggest that ANN provides a robust and reliable method for financial distress prediction. The use of RFECV and bootstrapped CART contributes to the model's stability, underscoring the potential of ML tools in financial health monitoring. These insights carry valuable implications for auditors, regulators, and company management in enhancing practices around financial oversight and fraud detection.

Project description:While higher interest rates increase the cost of credit financing for businesses, this study finds that the direct impact of this traditional credit transmission mechanism on corporate bankruptcy risk is limited. Instead, our research reveals that changes in corporate behavior induced by rising debt financing costs are the root cause of bankruptcy risk. In the short term, an increase in interest rates drives businesses to substitute supply chain financing for credit financing in pursuit of profit maximization. This mismatch of short-term debt and long-term investments undermines the sustainability of the supply chain, ultimately reducing financial security-sacrificing safety for profitability. In the long term, higher interest rates exacerbate the overcapacity problem in industries, increasing the unsustainability of the production and sales balance. Using data from China's construction industry, this study empirically tests these findings and, based on the main conclusions, provides policy suggestions regarding the long- and short-term effects of monetary policy on the sustainable development of China's construction industry: (1) focus on short-term interest rate risks and be vigilant against commercial credit bubbles; (2) long-term monetary policy should prioritize industrial structure optimization.
