The Impact of the Development of the Digital Economy on the Development of the Real Economy

This paper picks information from 31 parts of China between 2013 and 2022 to look at how the growth of online business impacts the development of real-world trading. A method called entropy was used to figure out how much each marker of growth in the internet economy should count. A method called linear weighting was used to combine different factors and create an index that shows the level of growth. Once the list was made, this study used linear regression analysis to see if the online business world has any effect on real economy. The findings show that the online business greatly impacts the physical or traditional business. Continuously making the online world better can keep aiding in the growth of real, physical world. This article recommends that governments should put more money into the online economy to aid long-term growth in a positive way for real businesses.

The inventory bullwhip effect in the online retail supply chain considering the price discount based on different forecasting methods

With the improvement of the new generation information technology, and the development of online economy, the customer behavior has gradually changed. The online economy has gradually become a new economic growth point. Many online platforms attract customers to purchase new products through different kinds of price discounts. In this article, we discuss the inventory bullwhip effect (IBE) in an online retail supply chain (ORSC) considering the price discount based on the different forecasting methods. Moreover, we discuss the influence of them on the IBE. When the price discount, the moving average forecasting method (MA), the exponential smoothing forecasting method (ES), and the minimum mean squared error forecasting method (MMSE) are considered, we consider an ORSC including of a manufacturer and an online platform, and the quantitative models of the BE and the IBE are discussed. This article finds that when the price sensitivity coefficient is very low, the online platform’s IBE is the lowest when the online platform adopts the MMSE method. Moreover, when the price discount gradually increases, the IBE of the online platform is also increasing. Moreover, it is gradually increasing when the expectation price difference coefficient becomes gradually increasing.

Does Mood affect Sexual and Gender Discrimination in Hiring Choices? Evidence from Online Experiments

We explore whether there is a link between mood and hiring decisions. This research examines how positive mood affects the discrimination faced by homosexual and female job candidates compared to heterosexual and male ones. We randomly assign respondents to one of two mood-inducing videos (positive and neutral), and we allow subjects to make a series of hiring choices prior and immediately after watching the mood-inducing video. Our experiment being conducted in the online labor platform Amazon Mechanical Turk, allows us to track the complete hiring process and monitor employers’ behavior within and without our treatment context. Constructing pairs of curriculum vitae, distinguished only by the sexual orientation or the gender of the applicants in each case, leads to the observation that women and gay men faced a significantly lower chance of getting hired. We also find that female employers proposed higher levels of discrimination only in the case of female applicants. Our positive mood manipulation leads to a decrease of discrimination levels. Thus, there is substantial experimental evidence to suggest that discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender also exists in online labor markets. An additional experiment with negative mood manipulation, also, gives evidence for the opposite direction of the effects, contributing to a broader picture of the relationship between mood and discrimination behavior. Contributions to the literature on hiring discrimination, mood research and the online economy are discussed.

Analyzing Competition in the Online Economy

Since economic analysis of the workings of the online economy is in its early stages, detecting anticompetitive behavior remains challenging. There have been some insights from models that explain how two-sided markets work, but the practical uses of these models are limited thus far. More research is necessary on the definition and operations of platforms of different sizes and with different objectives, for example, the identification of data clustering and flows related to product clustering and information production and the relationships between data, information, and innovation. Furthermore, corporate culture, which can produce cultural clashes within an organization, may influence both (anti)competitive behavior and innovation. The cultural issue becomes even more complex when evaluating whether a merger would result in both innovation and the abuse of market power. This paper develops an overview of the technology and operations of the online economy as a start toward informing competition and antitrust policy. We present a technical overview that becomes a starting point for understanding potential areas of excessive market power. We also examine market dynamics from the large platforms’ points of view to understand where they believe the online economy is heading.

Regulating the platform giants: Building and governing China's online economy

AbstractThe online platform economy in China has grown to become one of the largest in the world. Its growth has contributed to China's economic development and played an important role in its innovation path. We present a three‐stage structured explanation of China's governance approaches toward its homegrown platform firms. Using Chinese government documents and secondary sources to conduct a historical process tracing analysis, we argue that the growth of China's main platform firms and the government's governance of them was co‐evolutionary, guided by the party‐state's goals of maintaining social‐political stability, economic growth and strengthening technological self‐sufficiency. By so doing this paper addresses the fundamental question of how a “strong” and “capable” state such as China's has responded as platform firms went from providing various online services to becoming core infrastructure in the economy and society to the point of threatening core government objectives.
