| E-Commerce and Cross-Regional Transactions: Analysis from the Perspective of Transaction Cost Economics By Tang Yuehuan; Li, Jinglin; Yang Qijing. China Finance and Economic Review; Heidelberg Vol. 15, Iss. 2, (2026): 53-77. DOI:10.1515/cfer-2026-0009 Abstract :The development of digital information technology has led to the increasingly important role played by e-commerce in trading activities. On the basis of a natural experiment including national e-commerce demonstration cities, this paper examines the phases in which e-commerce can reduce transaction costs and affect enterprises’ cross-regional trading activities. Results indicate that e-commerce helps promote cross-city transactions for enterprises by reducing ex-ante search and negotiation costs. However, to some extent, the transaction scope’s expansion also increases relevant enterprises’ ex-post governance costs related to uncertainties, asset specificity, and transaction frequency when dealing with new partners. Strengthening the governance mechanisms of enterprise organizations, third-party platforms, e-commerce associations, and the business credit environment can help alleviate the increase in these costs. Additionally, e-commerce not only helps enterprises in areas with high administrative barriers achieve cross-regional transactions, but also helps enterprises conduct transactions with high-administrative-barrier areas. This study reveals the internal mechanisms by which e-commerce affects enterprises’ interregional transactions and provides certain policy implications for deepening the role of e-commerce in supporting the construction of a unified national market. | |||
| Comparative analysis of e-commerce infrastructure: a study of Morocco and the USA By Bourriche, Ahmed; Souaf, Malika. Journal of Electronic Business & Digital Economics; Kunming Vol. 5, Iss. 1, (2026): 180-204. DOI:10.1108/JEBDE-07-2024-0018 Abstract :This study aims to compare the e-commerce infrastructure between Morocco and the USA, focusing on internet connectivity, mobile technology, payment systems and logistics. The research utilizes secondary data and conducts a SWOT analysis to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats related to e-commerce in both countries.The findings reveal that the USA has a highly advanced e-commerce infrastructure, characterized by high internet penetration, fast broadband speeds, extensive use of digital payments and efficient logistics networks. In contrast, Morocco, while showing notable progress in mobile internet adoption and growing consumer interest in e-commerce, continues to face challenges in payment system development, last-mile delivery logistics and consistent rural internet connectivity. The study concludes that improving digital payment systems, strengthening logistics infrastructure, and capitalizing on high mobile penetration are essential for advancing Morocco’s e-commerce sector. In the USA, further growth opportunities exist in reducing regional disparities in connectivity and logistics coverage and in integrating advanced technologies to optimize operations and security. | |||
| Does Rural E-Commerce Development in China Facilitate Rural Households’ Green Production Practices, Taking Chemical Fertilizer Reduction as an Example? By Deng Yahui; Chen, Haibo; Chen, Mo Agriculture; Basel Vol. 16, Iss. 2, (2026): 162. DOI:10.3390/agriculture16020162 Abstract :Rural e-commerce has spurred profound changes in rural production and living patterns. Taking the policy of E-commerce Entering Rural Areas as a quasi-natural experiment, based on the data from fixed observation points in rural China, this paper examines how rural e-commerce development affects rural households’ green production practices. The results show that (1) while rural e-commerce has generally led to a 5% increase in farmers’ chemical fertilizer use, its promoting effect on farmers’ chemical fertilizer input has been gradually weakening over time. (2) Crop planting types moderate the relationship between rural e-commerce and farmers’ fertilizer input behaviors. For farmers mainly planting food crops, rural e-commerce increases their chemical fertilizer use by 6.87%, while for those mainly planting cash crops, rural e-commerce reduces their chemical fertilizer use by 4.25%. (3) Mechanism analysis reveals that service outlet construction and e-commerce training for farmers are the main channels through which rural e-commerce drives farmers to increase fertilizer input, while brand cultivation is a channel through which rural e-commerce inhibits farmers’ fertilizer input, and this influence channel only exists among farmers mainly planting cash crops. | |||
