    This study explores the moderating role of management autonomy in the relationship between Top Management Team(TMT)heterogeneity and organizational resilience.Drawing on upper echelons theory and information processing theory, we construct a research model where management autonomy moderates the impact of TMT heterogeneity on organizational resilience.Utilizing a sample of effective data from Chinese A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2021, we employ multiple linear regression analysis to empirically test the relationship between TMT heterogeneity and organizational resilience from two dimensions: identity-related heterogeneity and task-related heterogeneity.The study examines how this relationship changes in direction, magnitude, and heterogeneity under the moderation of environmental autonomy and organizational autonomy.The results confirm that both identity-related and task-related heterogeneity of TMT are positively correlated with organizational resilience.Environmental autonomy positively moderates the relationship between task-related heterogeneity and organizational resilience, while organizational autonomy positively moderates the relationships between both identity-related and task-related heterogeneity with organizational resilience.This research introduces elements of TMT heterogeneity and management autonomy into the discussion of the mechanisms influencing organizational resilience.Through empirical testing, it reveals the internal workings of the relationship between TMT heterogeneity and organizational resilience under the moderation of management autonomy.The study extends the application boundaries of upper echelons theory and information processing theory, enriches the existing literature on strategic management, and provides a theoretical basis for enterprises to enhance organizational resilience through the configuration of TMT.

    The digital economy has an increasingly far-reaching impact on the inter-governmental financial relations, which provides a new opportunity to stimulate the initiative and creativity of local governments.Based on the research perspective of local government's“competitive advantage”development strategy, this paper constructs a quasi-natural experiment with the pilot policy of“Broadband China”, and uses a dual machine learning model to investigate the impact of digital economy on regional tax competitiveness and its internal mechanism.It is found that the digital economy can release the fiscal incentive effect by reducing the vertical fiscal imbalance and strengthening the horizontal tax competition, and effectively improve the level of local tax competitiveness, and this effect is more significant in the cities that pay more attention to new quality productivity, receive more transfer payments, and provide better basic public services.Furthermore, the development of digital economy can also promote the improvement of the tax competitiveness of surrounding cities through the spatial spillover effect, and the spillover effect is the best in 200~400km.In addition, despite the increasingly fierce tax competition among local governments in the digital economy environment, this competitive behavior is no longer the traditional“race to the bottom”, but has turned to the benign competition aimed at improving regional tax competitiveness.Therefore, we should actively promote the development of digital economy, further release the fiscal incentive effect under the decentralization system, enhance the economic enthusiasm and autonomous ability of local governments, and guide local governments to regulate competition through the construction of a scientific and reasonable tax competitiveness evaluation system, so as to spontaneously achieve inter-regional tax coordination.

    Higher education plays a crucial role in enhancing upward social mobility.However, whether the rapid expansion of higher education in China has undermined its function in promoting social mobility has yet to be thoroughly examined from both theoretical and empirical perspectives.This study examines the changing role of higher education in fostering social mobility in the context of university enrollment expansion.Theoretically, the study underscores the diminishing marginal returns of higher education as a driver of social mobility.Empirically, using four waves of cross-sectional data from the Chinese General Social Survey(CGSS)and employing an IV-Probit model, the study examines the medium-and long-term effects of enrollment expansion on social mobility.We find that higher education significantly enhances individual social mobility, but this effect follows an inverted U-shaped trajectory as enrollment expansion progresses, peaking when the college admission rate reaches 57%.Moreover, the role of higher education in social mobility is heterogeneous.Bachelor's degrees contribute more to upward mobility than associate degrees, and institutions under central administration exhibit significantly stronger effects than ordinary universities.Furthermore, enrollment expansion has widened disparities in the social mobility effects of different tiers of higher education.

    Article 25 of the Opinions on Promoting the Development and Growth of the Private Economy issued by the Party Central Committee and the State Council in July 2023 proposed to“comprehensively establish close and clean government-business relationship.”At present, the establishment of close and clean government-business relationship has become a major theoretical and policy innovation to promote the high-quality development of the private economy.Therefore, this paper takes the digital transformation of private enterprises as an entry point.Based on the data of A-share private listed companies from 2011 to 2022, the study finds that: government-business relationship can significantly promote the digital transformation of private enterprises; the positive impact of government-business relationship on digital transformation is more significant in private enterprises with state-owned enterprises' shareholding. The heterogeneity tests of all dimensions of digital transformation show that: firstly, close and clean relationships have significant positive impacts on strategic leadership, environmental support and digital outcomes, repectively.Secondly, close releases significant effects in technology drive, organizational empowerment and digital application, while close has no significant effect.Further research also finds that government-business relationship can enhance private enterprises' motivation for digital transformation by incentivizing them to bring in R&D personnel, increase R&D investment, and alleviate financing constraints. The research provides policy inspiration and practical guidance for local governments to build a new type of government-business relationship to promote the high-quality development of private economy.

    With the rapid development of digital economy in China, the pursuit of common prosperity is accelerating, concerns arise as to whether the artificial intelligence(AI)will widen the wage gap? By incorporating skill training into the task model, we analyze the impact of AI on wage gap and the mechanism by which skill training can help reduce this gap.We finds AI can increase workers' wages significantly, but it also enlarges the wage gap between the high-skilled and low-skilled workers.Skill training, by enhancing workers' professional abilities and their skills-job match, helps reduce the wage gap.We also find AI widens the wage gap between the middle-aged and the younger or older workers, the formal and informal workers, as well as the wage gap between big and small cities, AI developed and AI less-developed cities, while skill training helps disadvantaged workers and regions gain a higher pay, narrow the wage gap.The research finding reveals skills training helps workers share the benefits of AI and accelerates the achievement of common prosperity.

    Global climate change has raised concerns among governments and investors about the transmission of climate risks to the stock market, further driving the demand for effective financial tools. This paper analyzes climate risks in global stock markets to support China in developing green finance policies, enhancing the resilience of the financial system, accelerating innovation in green financial products, and promoting the sustainable transformation of capital markets.The study, based on daily return data from the Climate Change Index and nine stock industry indices from 2013 to 2023, uses the Copula-CoVaR model to explore the contagion effects of extreme climate risks on industry tail risks.The results show that climate change significantly impacts the stock market, particularly in energy-related industries such as electricity, fossil fuels, and renewable energy.To effectively mitigate climate risks, the paper constructs a GARCH hedging model based on the contagion risk model, calculates the optimal hedging ratios between the Climate Change Index and each industry index, and evaluates their risk-hedging effects.The findings indicate that the Climate Change Index has a significant risk-hedging effect across all industries.This research provides valuable insights for market participants in managing market risks, formulating investment strategies, and asset pricing, effectively reducing the impact of climate change risks on investors.

    Although AI social responsibility has attracted attention in corporate practice, the existing literature lacks research results that explore the mechanism of corporate AI social responsibility affecting employee well-being.Based on the social exchange theory, the author constructed a research model on the mechanism of the impact of corporate AI social responsibility on employee well-being.For 200 enterprise employee questionnaire survey data, empirical research was conducted using hierarchical regression analysis and Bootstrap method.The test results confirm that corporate AI social responsibility positively affects employee well-being through the mediating role of performance expectations and emotional attachment; organizational AI readiness has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between corporate AI social responsibility and emotional attachment, but not on the relationship between corporate AI social responsibility and performance expectations. The conclusions drawn in this study by empirically examining the mechanism by which corporate AI social responsibility affects employee well-being expand the boundaries of CSR theory and its application in AI contexts, enrich the existing literature on academic discussions such as the social exchange theory, and can provide a theoretical basis for the practical activities of promoting the fulfillment of AI social responsibility by corporations and the enhancement of employee well-being.

    Various prefecture-level cities in China have actively carried out the comprehensive performance evaluation of fiscal operations since 2018, forming multiple systems and models in practice. The impact of these evaluations, however, requires empirical research.Based on panel data from 2012 to 2021 for prefecture-level cities across the country, we empirically examine the effect of the comprehensive performance evaluation on the efficiency of local government fiscal expenditures using a multi-period difference-in-differences fixed-effects model.The results show that the comprehensive performance evaluation significantly improves the efficiency of local government fiscal expenditures, and this conclusion holds after robustness tests.Mechanism tests reveal that the comprehensive performance evaluation primarily works through enhancing fiscal transparency and reducing government administrative costs.Further research explores the impact of fiscal pressure levels and the degree of fiscal competition on the relationship between the comprehensive performance evaluation and fiscal expenditure efficiency.The results indicate that the comprehensive performance evaluation has a greater impact on improving fiscal expenditure efficiency under higher levels of fiscal pressure and fiscal competition.The study provides theoretical evidence for understanding how the comprehensive performance evaluation enhances fiscal expenditure efficiency in different contexts and offers policy insights for further expanding and improving these evaluations.

    Financial resources, as the most liquid factor of production, exhibit distinctive spatial non-equilibrium distribution patterns, consistently clustering in central cities.In contrast, the manufacturing sector, which is increasingly relocating to peripheral cities, faces significant financing challenges due to limited access to financial resources.This study employs a new economic geography model to conduct multidimensional numerical simulations, utilizes artificial neural networks to quantify financial agglomeration, and applies spatial SARAR models for empirical analysis.The findings reveal that:(1) financial resource agglomeration in cities enhances local manufacturing financing, with the effect being particularly pronounced in urban agglomerations;(2) in underdeveloped regions, central cities exert a siphoning effect on peripheral manufacturing financing, whereas in developed regions, this relationship manifests as a radiation effect;(3) spatial spillover patterns vary across regions as distance increases: nationwide trends display an inverted U-shape, underdeveloped regions exhibit linear decay, and developed regions follow a distinctive pattern;(4) key factors such as information transmission efficiency, transportation accessibility, functional division of labor within urban agglomerations, and market segmentation significantly influence the spatial spillover of financial agglomeration.Based on these findings, the study advocates for promoting rational division of labor and coordinated development among cities, harnessing the financial radiation effects of central cities, and encouraging cross-regional bank operations as critical policy measures.

    Fiscal sustainability has a bearing on the financial security of the country and the fulfillment of government functions,which in turn affects the achievement of national strategic objectives and economic and social development.There is an urgent need to study the linkage mechanisms among the factors affecting fiscal sustainability and further explore effective ways to achieve a high level of fiscal sustainability.Based on a configurations perspective,this paper examines the linkage mechanisms of factors affecting fiscal sustainability and the driving paths to achieve a high level of fiscal sustainability through the Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis(fsQCA)method using 30 provincial local governments in China as case studies.The main conclusions are as follows:(1)Any single factor does not constitute the necessary condition for a high level of fiscal sustainability.This is a strong indication that the level of fiscal sustainability is the result of the linkage action of factors.(2)Three paths exist to achieve a high level of fiscal sustainability.This reflects significant differences in the driving mechanisms of achieving a high level of fiscal sustainability by different provincial local governments.(3)Two of three paths to a high level of fiscal sustainability include high population aging.This suggests that at this stage,population aging plays an important role in contributing to achieving a high level of fiscal sustainability compared to other factors.
