How Does Corruption Control Shape Administrative Burden on Businesses? The Moderating Role of Political Attention and Digital Government
Administrative burden is a growing focus in public administration, yet research on business administrative burden remains limited, with most studies emphasizing citizens. Additionally, the role of ethical governance, particularly corruption control, in shaping administrative burden has been largely overlooked. This study addresses these gaps by examining the impact of corruption control on business administrative burden and the moderating effects…
Do third parties matter for citizens’ public programme participation? Evidence from an administrative burden perspective
Third parties such as non-profits are increasingly recognized as influential actors in government – citizen interactions. Drawing on the administrative burden perspective, this study examines whether and how non-profit involvement as third parties is associated with citizens’ welfare participation. Using a longitudinal dataset from a welfare programme in China and employing staggered difference-in-differences designs, the analyses reveal that non…
Leveraging LLM-based agents for social science research: Insights from citation network simulations
The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrates their potential to encapsulate the logic and patterns inherent in human behavior simulation by leveraging extensive web data pre-training. However, the boundaries of LLM capabilities in social simulation remain unclear. To further explore the social attributes of LLMs, we introduce the CiteAgent framework, designed to generate citation networks based on human-behavior simulation with LLM-…
Governmental assistance, charitable assistance, and welfare stigma in China
What Factors Predict Charitable Assistance in China? The Role of Needs, Capital, and Contexts
Charitable assistance from nonprofits and charities plays an important role in helping vulnerable population relieve burdens, but current research provides limited evidence on the factors explaining the receipt of charitable assistance. This study constructs a conceptual framework and empirically tests three groups of factors—from the need, capital, and contextual perspectives—as the antecedents of charitable assistance using data from China. Mul…
How is income inequality associated with charitable giving intention? Evidence from a survey experiment in China
Income inequality and charitable giving to different causes in China: A Distribution Perspective
In contexts with high-income inequality, are people more or less inclined to support those in need through philanthropy? Using data from the 2016 wave of the China Labor-Force Dynamics Study, this study examines (i) how income inequality is associated with charitable giving to high-redistributive (e.g., poverty alleviation) and low-redistributive (e.g., arts and culture) causes and (ii) the household and contextual level variation for this relati…
Welfare Dependency of Urban Dibao in China: Index Construction and Its Antecedents
Does employment assistance promote employment of the impoverished in China? Evidence from a mixed methods approach
The issue of employment is extremely significant, and employment assistance programs work for special social assistance and employment support for the impoverished in China. Are employment assistance programs, particularly those providing job recommendations and free vocational training, effective in promoting employment in China? This study answers this question using a mixed methods approach. Logistic regressions and propensity score matching–d…
Capital, administrative burden, and welfare participation: Evidence from the minimum living standard scheme in China
Administrative burden in citizen‐state interactions has received increasing attention. Building upon existing literature on its antecedents and consequences, this study further examines how financial, human, social, and political capital are associated with administrative burden and how three dimensions of administrative burden (i.e., learning, compliance, and psychological costs) are associated with welfare participation. Using unique data from …
A systematic review and meta-analysis of the relationship between economic inequality and prosocial behaviour
Does government social spending matter? Exploring how income inequality is associated with charitable giving
Objective Given the detrimental consequences of income inequality and the importance of charitable giving in society, the relationship between income inequality and charitable giving has attracted much scholarly attention, but less is known about why and how income inequality is associated with charitable giving. This study intends to explore the role of government social spending in the relationship between income inequality and charitable givin…
Does Welfare Receipt Matter for Charitable Giving and Volunteering? Similarities and Differences of the Role of Public Assistance and Social Insurance
How does the receipt of public assistance and social insurance relate to charitable giving and volunteering? Using data from the 2017 wave of Panel Study of Income Dynamics in the US, we employ a series of multilevel logistic regressions and tobit models to answer the research question. Results show that the receipt of public assistance and social insurance is not significantly related to volunteering. The receipt of social insurance is also not …
Analysis of EEG Characteristics of Drivers and Driving Safety in Undersea Tunnel
To study the influence of the driving environment of an undersea tunnel on driver EEG (electroencephalography) characteristics and driving safety, a real vehicle experiment was performed in the Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay Tunnel. The experimental data of the drivers' real vehicle experiment were collected using an illuminance meter, EEG instrument, video recorder and other experimental equipment. The undersea tunnel is divided into different areas, and …
Computational Social Science for Nonprofit Studies: Developing a Toolbox and Knowledge Base for the Field
How can computational social science (CSS) methods be applied in nonprofit and philanthropic studies? This paper summarizes and explains a range of relevant CSS methods from a research design perspective and highlights key applications in our field. We define CSS as a set of computationally intensive empirical methods for data management , concept representation , data analysis , and visualization . What makes the computational methods “social” i…
The Impact of Public Assistance Use on Charitable Giving: Evidence from the USA and China
Public policy can directly or indirectly affect private philanthropy. Although previous studies have investigated the role of tax incentives and government grants to nonprofits, scholars do not pay much attention to how public welfare receipt affects philanthropic behavior. This study fills the gap by examining the impact of public assistance use on individual charitable giving using data from the USA and China. We employ propensity score matchin…
Facilitating or inhibiting charitable giving? Exploring the dual role of compulsory donations in China
Charitable giving is often seen as voluntary prosocial behavior. However, compulsory donations are not uncommon in countries such as China. This paper explores this understudied phenomenon by examining the impact of compulsory donations on voluntary and total charitable giving. Building upon the previous literature from multiple perspectives and using panel data from the China Labor-force Dynamics Survey, this study proposes an integrated framewo…

The end of textiles quotas: A case study of the impact on Bangladesh
This paper assesses the effects on the Bangladeshi economy of phasing out textile and clothing quotas by industrial countries. Bangladesh relies heavily on textile and clothing exports and is potentially very vulnerable to the abolition of the quotas. We used up-to-date information on quota prices for Bangladesh to evaluate its competitiveness in a quota-free world, and subsequently incorporate the quota price information in the GTAP model to sim…
The impact of MFA phasing out on world clothing and textile markets
Simulations using a world clothing and textile trade model and a new set of estimates of tariff equivalents suggest that the global welfare cost of the Multifibre Arrangement (MFA) amounted to US$7.3 billion a year in the mid‐1980s. Most of this cost seems to have been inflicted on the established developing country exporters and on major industrial MFA markets. Emerging developing country exporters have also suffered considerably from the MFA bu…
