“…This is conducive to opening up the connection channels between various knowledge elements and cooperation networks within enterprises, thus optimizing the allocation of knowledge resources within enterprises, improving utilization efficiency, and contributing to innovative achievements ( Zhiming, 2016 ; Jiang et al, 2018 ). Hierarchical CEO succession is conducive to the improvement of SMEs performance through effective allocation of knowledge resources ( Sarfraz et al, 2020b ) and has positive impact on the innovation environment within the enterprise ( Sarfraz et al, 2020c ). On the contrary, if an enterprise has a narrow knowledge base and a large number of structural holes, it will be able to not only absorb the rich information resources in the network but also waste a lot of human and material resources of the enterprise.…”

Amid the pandemic of COVID-19, the collaborative innovation network of enterprises is conducive to the sharing of innovation resources, knowledge transfer, and technology diffusion, which is closely related to the improvement of corporate technological innovation performance. Based on the patent application data of listed enterprises in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai in China, this study constructs a cooperation matrix, describes the characteristics of collaborative innovation network from two dimensions of network structure and network relationship, introduces the breadth of the knowledge base as a moderating variable, and analyzes the nexus between characteristics of a collaborative innovation network and technological innovation performance. Based on the panel data of 193 listed companies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, this study uses a multiple linear regression model for empirical analysis. The results show a U-shaped relationship between clustering coefficient and technological innovation performance. The breadth of knowledge base strengthens the positive relationship between the structural hole and technological innovation performance. In contrast, the breadth of knowledge base weakens the positive relationship between network relationships strength and technological innovation performance. The study findings will enhance enterprises’ participation in a suitable collaborative innovation according to their knowledge-based characteristics and improve the technological innovation performance.

“…According to a research study, Chinese state-owned enterprises have financing challenges, except for state-owned firms, that can be funded through a commercial group. In this perspective, it may be stated that state-owned firms are more vulnerable than non-state-owned firms (Sarfraz et al, 2020c ).…”

This paper aimed to provide empirical evidence on the behavior of the investor toward mutual funds by considering its relationship with risk perception (RP), return perception (Return P), investment criteria (IC), mutual fund awareness (MFA), and financial literacy (FL). Data were collected using a questionnaire from 500 mutual fund investors, from which 460 questionnaires were used for the analysis. In addition, the snowball sampling technique was used to collect data from different cities in Pakistan. The result showed that RP, Return P, and MFA are insignificant and negatively affect the behavior of mutual fund investors. Investment criteria have a negative and significant effect on the behavior of mutual fund investors. Financial literacy has a positive and insignificant effect on the behavior of mutual fund investors. The results provide better information and guidance to investors and policymakers on the factors that affect the behavior of mutual fund investors.

“…This positive relation was observed by utilizing the Bitcoin qualitative trading data of Indonesia with the implication of inner model, outer model, and hypothesis assessment. Moreover, the improvement and enhancement of Bitcoin trade’s quality with developed and more secure transaction process are discussed ( Van Wijk, 2013 ; Vidal-Tomás and Ibañez, 2018 ; Putra and Darma, 2019 ; Sarfraz et al, 2020b ). Large firms prefer to adopt corporate social responsibility activities’ ( Sarfraz et al, 2020c ).…”

Examining the Psychological State Analysis Relationship Between Bitcoin Prices and COVID-19

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The rapid worldwide spread of COVID-19 forced many countries to enforce complete lockdown and strict quarantine policies. The strict lockdown and quarantine affect the psychological state of people toward cryptocurrency. The current research aims to examine the effect of COVID-19 on Bitcoin prices concerning cumulative deaths and confirmed cases. The research comprises daily data from January 20, 2020, to April 30, 2020, during the initial worldwide breakout of COVID-19. This research employed the augmented Dickey-Fuller test to check the stationarity of data, the co-integration test for the interdependency of variables, and the vector error correction model for identifying the direction and long or short-run relationship between Bitcoin prices and COVID-19. The research results show that Bitcoin prices are negatively significant and related to COVID-19 in the short-run. A unidirectional relationship between Bitcoin prices and cumulative deaths is also observed. Investors and the public’s psychological state were positively significant to Bitcoin prices in the long-term because of cashless transactions, unbanked, and less risky virus traveling. The second reason behind the positive psychological relation is un-centralization and easy-to-make payments by Bitcoin. This study’s finding provides timely evidence to decision-makers on Bitcoin price volatility and its impacts on the public’s psychological states regarding COVID-19.
