While management studies show that micro‐level trust within and between firms affects firm performance and innovation, it is unclear how macro‐level trust, namely social trust, affects corporate decisions. Addressing this is important because micro‐level trust is shaped by macro‐level social norms. A growing literature finds that corporations are influenced by local social norms. Drawing from this insight and using various measures of social trust, we examine the impact of social trust on dividend payouts. We find that levels of social trust, both in terms of directly measured trust and trust inferred from concomitant levels of civic social capital, negatively impact dividend payouts of local firms across Chinese provinces. We argue that community social trust supplies governance and plays a substitute role for dividend payouts, with a higher level of social trust engendering a lower demand for dividend payouts. This negative effect is more pronounced for younger firms, companies with high growth potential and firms in regions of less‐developed institutional environments. We further show that agency cost plays an important mediating role, since high social trust reduces agency cost, jointly affecting dividends. Firms in high‐trust regions make meaningful use of their greater retained earnings for research and development and innovations.

We investigate the impact of uncertainty of uncertainty (UOU) on corporate accounting conservatism, finding a positive association. Mechanism analysis suggests that under UOU, creditor demands for real information drives shifts toward accounting conservatism. Further analysis shows that the impact of UOU is more salient in non-SOEs, and firms with weak external monitoring mechanisms. Our study highlights that under uncertainty about levels of uncertainty, contract demand plays a significant role in corporate governance.

Institutional theory emphasizes external investor protection (EIP), while corporate governance theory focuses on internal corporate governance (ICG) to explain corporate operation and behavior. However, both mainstream theories explain much less the relationship between EIP and ICG. Examining firm foreign ownership from 30 countries, we show that while EIP and ICG separately foster firm foreign ownership, they are substitutes. Our findings imply that foreign investors have similar view with firms on EIP and ICG and that nations can counterbalance the impact from poor firm-level governance by promoting external investor protection to attract foreign ownership.

Few studies have quantitatively analyzed the causes of the uneven development of fintech inclusion. We explore the factors influencing regional differences in China's fintech inclusion by focusing on the influencing factors' spatiotemporal heterogeneity. Fuzzy best-worst, standard deviation ellipse, and geographically temporally weighted regression methodologies were used to investigate the spatiotemporal evolution and influencing factors for 2011–2019. China's fintech inclusion has a higher persistent spatial imbalance in the east and a lower in the central and western regions. Regarding the spatial heterogeneity of influencing factors, we find that the effects of economic development, financial supervision, transportation convenience, population structure and education level show obvious east-west differences. Regarding temporal heterogeneity, we find over our period that the impacts of economic development and financial supervision on fintech inclusion changed from negative to positive, with the positive effects of education level and population structure decreasing. We offer a framework for measuring regional fintech inclusion and practical policy suggestions for promoting coordinated development.
... Similarly, Al-Kasasbeh et al. (2024) observed that socio-political issues in the MENA region significantly influence governance structures and business outcomes. Tripathi et al. (2024) noted that leverage has both direct and moderating effects on firm value in firms with large boards and high leverage but minimal impact in small-board firms. This study addresses a gap in the literature by examining how gender diversity and corporate governance impact firm performance, incorporating intersectionality and effectiveness of diversity initiatives. ...

... Especially, the level of aggregation and the cognitive load the processing of the data causes are in focus, when the authors research and discuss how future management reports need to provide a certain level of interaction between the data and the diverse audience [55]. With their research, they follow and contribute to important streams in the visualization [56], accounting information systems [57], and accounting education [58], communities. They find that the lack of knowledge and experience regarding new visualization types and interaction techniques, and the often sole focus on Excel as a visualization tool can be identified as the main barriers, while the use of multiple data sources and the gradual implementation of further software tools can be seen as main drivers for the adoption of interactive visualizations. ...

... Compared to regular investors, they have stronger motivation and capability to oversee management [27]. After participating in private placement, strategic investment institutions tend to actively engage in corporate governance, supervising management, improving investment efficiency, and reducing operational costs, leading to value addition [28]. In contrast, financial investment institutions, driven by short-term profit-seeking motives, might not effectively supervise top executives, and might even prefer high-risk, high-return operations, thus increasing the operational leverage. ...

... Thus, social norms are a collective awareness of the most appropriate social behaviors, and when they are internalized, people conform to them even when their irresponsible behaviors would otherwise remain unexposed (Elster, 1989). It follows, then, that social trust, encompassing well-established and internalized social norms, represents an informal governance mechanism constraining managers' opportunistic behavior (Goodell et al., 2023). ...

Such an ecosystem is typically developed through partnerships between governments, financial service providers, and startups (Senyo et al. 2022;Coffie and Hongjiang 2023;Iheanachor and Umukoro 2022). Each participant contributes to the evolution and advancement of the ecosystem (Palmié et al. 2020;Zhao et al. 2022;Huarng and Yu 2022;Ehret and Olaniyan 2023). As Palmié et al.

... Uncertain events or conditions characterized by such events can negatively affect politics, the economy, society, and culture over a long period. For example, geopolitical factors increased the volatility of crude oil, as declining crude oil supply drove up crude oil prices during the 1970s crude oil crisis (Khan et al., 2022;Su et al., 2021), and prices of different commodities increased in volatility in 2022 due to the Russia-Ukraine war (Fang & Shao, 2022;Saâdaoui et al., 2022) or the global uncertainty caused by Brexit in 2016(Mensi et al., 2021Smales, 2017). ...
