Influence of personality traits on generation Z consumers' click-through intentions towards personalized advertisements: A mixed-methods study

Personalized social media advertisements (PSMAs) are developed by using consumers' personal information like names, demographic details, location, past buying history, and lifestyle interests to quickly grab consumers' attention within the cluttered space of digital advertisements. Generation Z consumers are highly connected to social media. Hence, this study attempts to understand how Generation Z consumers with different personality traits perceive personalized advertisements (PAs) on Facebook, and subsequently, how their perceived personalization influences their intention to click on PAs based on perceived usefulness and privacy concerns associated with those advertisements. The theoretical underpinning of this research is based on the self-congruency theory and privacy-calculus theory. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design has been adopted, where a quantitative analysis (Study 1) is followed by a qualitative approach (Study 2). For Study 1, responses were collected from 324 Generation Z consumers through a structured questionnaire and the data was analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique to measure relationships among the constructs. Further, in Study 2, in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 Generation Z consumers, a purposively selected subset of informants from Study 1, to explore the potential causes of those relationships observed in Study 1. It has been found from the study that consumers' perception of PSMAs varies based on their personality traits. Consumers with dominant extraversion, conscientiousness, and neurotic personality traits perceive PSMAs positively whereas the openness to experience and agreeableness dominant consumers perceive those negatively. Positive perception of PSMAs among consumers increases the perceived usefulness of communications and subsequently improves the click-through intentions of the consumers. Generation Z Consumers' perception of PSMAs does not have any influence on their privacy concerns. Consumers’ high privacy concerns reduce the click-through intention rate toward PSMAs. The study will help digital marketing managers to strategically deliver PSMAs, thereby enhancing the efficiency of their advertisements.

Time varying characteristics of factors affecting carbon price in emission trading scheme in China: Evidence from SV-TVP-VAR approach

Analysis of the factors influencing the price of carbon emissions trading in China and its time-varying characteristics is essential for the smooth operation of the carbon trading system. We analyse the time-varying effects of public concern, degree of carbon regulation, crude oil price, international carbon price and interest rate level on China’s carbon price through SV-TVP-VAR model. Among them, the quantification of public concern and the degree of carbon emission regulation is based on microblog text and government decisions. The results show that all the factors influencing carbon price are significantly time-varying, with the shocks of each factor on carbon price rising before 2019 and turning significantly thereafter. The short-term shock effect of each factor is more significant compared to the medium- and long-term, and the effect almost disappears at a lag of six months. Thanks to public environmental awareness, low-carbon awareness and the progress of carbon market management mechanisms, public concern has had the most significant impact on carbon price since 2019. With the promulgation of relevant management measures for the carbon market, relevant regulations on carbon emission accounting, financing constraints, and carbon emission quota allocation for emission-controlled enterprises have become increasingly mature, and carbon price signals are more sensitive to market information. The above findings provide substantial empirical evidence for all stakeholders in the market, who need to recognize that the impact of non-structural factors on the price of carbon varies over time. Government intervention also serves as a key aspect of carbon emission control and requires the introduction of relevant constraints and incentives. In particular, emission-controlling firms need to focus on the policy direction of the carbon market, and focus on the impact of Internet public opinion on business production while reducing carbon allowance demand and energy dependence.

A hybrid model for predicting the carbon price in Beijing: a pilot low-carbon city in China

Beijing is one of the earliest pilot low-carbon cities in China. It was one of the first cities in China to establish a pilot carbon market to achieve this goal. As an emerging market, China’s carbon pricing mechanism is not yet complete. In this context, it is crucial for market managers and companies to predict carbon prices. This study uses a Prophet-EEMD-LSTM model to predict the carbon price in the Beijing carbon market, which significantly improves prediction performance. The advantage of this hybrid model is that it considers the particularities of carbon prices including trends, cyclical changes, and volatility. Considering that the carbon market has multiple complex characteristics, the carbon price is decomposed into multiple simple sequences using the Prophet and EEMD models. These simple sequences were predicted using an LSTM model. The hybrid model outperformed both econometric and single-machine learning models in terms of carbon price prediction. Based on the findings of this study, market managers and companies can take appropriate measures to prevent carbon price risks. These findings are conducive to the smooth operation of the carbon market, thereby providing sustainable support and guidance for the development of low-carbon cities.

Marketing research and brand management in the margarine market

Shifts in the Russian margarine market have produced changes in consumer behaviour patterns and caused a decline in sales of a number of brands. The study aims to reveal new trends in the fats and oils market and tests the hypotheses that end consumers tend to buy less margarine due to the rising popularity of a healthy lifestyle, the fast-growing demand for ready-made foods and baked goods, and customers’ high price sensitivity. The theories of brand management and marketing constitute the theoretical basis of the study. The research uses desk and field marketing research methods, survey, and statistical analysis. Calculations were carried out in statistical software SPSS and JASP. To assess brand management at the companies under review, we apply the brand loyalty index and the brand awareness indicator in Yandex Wordstat. The empirical evidence covers Nielsen panel data on retail audits in consumer goods markets for 2021–2023; data sourced from the QlickView analytical platform; OOO Profi Issledovania’s report based on the results of a field study of margarine brands in November 2023; and data from a survey conducted by the authors in November–December, 2023. The findings show that the share of margarines in total production volumes and solid fats sales is in decline. We confirmed the hypotheses that margarines consumption is decreasing due to a healthy lifestyle culture and the need to follow doctor’s recommendations. Price is found to be the key factor in choosing margarine brands.

In the banking industry, providing a range of conventional and high-tech services is crucial to ensure customer satisfaction. One area that requires attention is mobile banking services, which need to offer an engaging experience to keep customers satisfied and loyal. However, empirically, the evidence regarding the impact of the role of mobile banking customer satisfaction on loyalty intention seems to leave room for improvement. Research indicates that customer experience and the risks involved can have a significant impact on consumer satisfaction and loyalty intention. The study is conducted using explanatory research methodology, employing a quantitative approach and adhering to the positivist paradigm. This methodology aims to elucidate the causal relationship between variables, both through direct and indirect means. The research data was analyzed using PLS-SEM, which stands for Partial Least Square Structural Equation Method. The findings indicate that perceived risk has a detrimental influence on customer satisfaction, whereas customer experience has a beneficial effect. Research has demonstrated that customer satisfaction has a clear and substantial impact on the intention of customers to remain loyal. While all indirect links are supported, it is not possible to establish a direct relationship between perceived risk and customer experience on loyalty intention. The significance of customer satisfaction lies in its ability to connect perceived risk and customer experience results with loyalty intention. This study explores the implications for literature and management about mobile banking applications and the integration of perceived risk and customer experience in shaping customer satisfaction and loyalty in the banking sector. These advancements emphasize the significance of excellent customer experiences in enhancing customer happiness and loyalty. Companies must enhance client experience and strive to surpass expectations. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the concept of "customer satisfaction" and its role as a mediator can help marketing and customer relationship management strategies effectively retain and attract customers.

Related party transactions and earnings management under the UK different regulatory environments of the main and alternative investment markets

Beyond the recent research on related party transactions (RPTs), we study the impact of regulatory environment on RPTs and earnings management. Using a sample of United Kingdom (UK) public firms listed on the lightly regulated Alternative Investment Market (AIM) and the heavily regulated Main Market (Main) of the London Stock Exchange, we find evidence that firms on the Main Market use more efficient and less opportunistic RPTs than those in the AIM market. In addition, efficient RPTs are used as a substitute for the costly real earnings management in the Main Market. Our findings support the efficient contracting hypothesis under the stricter regulation of the Main Market which reduces information asymmetry and enhances internal resource optimization. Our results are robust controlling for endogeneity and selection bias problems.

Use of reactive power compensation devices in implementation of distributed generation

In Ukraine, a gradual reduction of electricity production at thermal power plants is planned due to the development of renewable sources of electricity. Small hydraulic power plants are being restored, solar power plants and wind power plants are being built. This will allow solving the existing problems of the domestic energy industry regarding the shortage of fuel resources, energy security and reducing the level of harmful effects on the environment caused by the operation of traditional sources of electricity. There is a trend of transition from a purely centralized electricity supply to a combined one, when the number of local decentralized sources of electricity directly in distribution networks is increasing. In this way, distribution electric networks are gradually transformed into a network with features characteristic of a local electric system, which receives power both from its own distribution electric networks and from a centralized source - the electric power system. Renewable energy has a number of advantages compared to traditional energy, but there are also disadvantages. Among them, the complications of the functioning of electrical networks should be highlighted in the event of an increase in the capacities of renewable sources of electricity installed in them and the instability of generation due to their natural dependence on meteorological conditions, if we talk more specifically about technical shortcomings, then this concerns - sinusoidal of voltages and currents and voltage deviations, quality assurance of electricity, which directly depends on ensuring the balance of active and reactive power in the electrical system. Hence the need for coordinated power supply from renewable sources of electricity and substations of the power system. At the same time, there is a gradual transition from the wholesale electricity market of a single buyer to the balancing market of electricity and electricity supply under bilateral agreements, as well as the introduction of market management methods. This article discusses measures to reduce electrical energy losses, limit voltage deviation, improve the quality of electrical energy, and compensate for the reactive power of local loads due to the introduction of reactive power compensation devices together with renewable sources of electricity and facilitating their integration into the power grid.
