Is Algorithmic Accessibility Sufficient? The Pivotal Role of Accessibility and Accountability in Shaping Trust in Automated Decision‐Making
The widely accepted view that algorithmic accessibility and accountability enhance the perceived trustworthiness of automated decision‐making has not yet been fully validated. This study fills this research gap by conducting two survey experiments using “real‐world” scenarios. We examine participants' trust preferences when exposed to varying levels of algorithmic accessibility and accountability, under different degrees of decision risks. Our fi…
Unveiling civil servants' preferences: Human-machine matching vs. regulating algorithms in algorithmic decision-making——Insights from a survey experiment
Managed transparency: Chinese government transparency
There are few questions about the fact that China has achieved substantial strides in economic development over the last four decades. Nonetheless, many have cast doubts on its path of increasing transparency. Previous analyses on Chinese transparency have shed light on this issue in isolation. For this reason, we attempt to offer an integrated account of Chinese government transparency. Moreover, transparency involves various dimensions and type…
Driving factors of social policy diffusion in China: An event history analysis of public rental housing policy adoption
Many studies have investigated the forces driving policy adoption. However, the process by which China’s social policies diffuse remains unclear. This study addressed this research gap by developing hypotheses that incorporated insights from competitive theories about policy diffusion. Applying the event history analysis method to data from 2008 to 2021, we found that factors such as administrative pressure, economic development, and housing inve…
To join the top and the bottom: The role of provincial governments in China's top-down policy diffusion
The provincial governments in China and their impact on the policy adoption of county-level administrations remain understudied. This article contributes to the study of policy adoption by dividing the roles enacted by provincial governments into the four following types: subcontractor, pressure-giver, designer, and co-provider. It utilizes the event history analysis method to examine the effects of the four aforementioned roles on policy adoptio…
Does the transfer of state-owned land-use rights promote or restrict urban development
Geographic location, development of higher education and donations to Chinese non-public foundations
In recent years, Chinese non-public foundations have grown at an unprecedented rate, but research on charitable donations to these organizations is scarce. Building on nonprofit literature and borrowing from resource dependence, neo-institutionalism and interdependence theories, we seek to disentangle the distinctive donation pattern in Chinese non-public foundations by focusing on geographic location and higher education. To test the hypotheses,…

The Effects of Performance of Public Sector Health System on Quality of Life in China: Evidence from the CGSS2015
The determinants of quality of life can be social, economic, cultural, and governmental, to name a few. Prior research has shown that demographic factors and social support can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life. This research attempts to examine the effects of public sector health system performance on individuals' quality of life in China, measured by (1) self-reported health, (2) depressed mood, and (3) happiness. The…
Media usage, political interest and citizens’ issue attention to government annual report in China- evidence from 19 major cities
A Government Annual Report (GAR) plays a critical role in signalling what issues governments at various levels in China paid attention to. Based on data from a survey conducted in June 2016, we divide GAR topics into two categories: macro-economic issue and citizen livelihood issue. On average, citizens are more interested in livelihood issue than economy issue in 19 cities in China. Our empirical analysis shows that media usage and political int…
