“…With the development of society and economy, consumers' demands and preferences for green agro-products have been intensified, driving the improvement of the production and sale efficiency of green agro-products, which constitutes the initial motivation of agricultural green transformation [24][25][26]. Specifically, the stronger the demand and preference of consumers for green agro-products, the higher the profit margin of green agro-products, and the stronger the motivation of NABEs to collectively abide by the regulation of agricultural green transformation through coordination in the industrial chain.…”

In recent years, China has actively promoted the green transformation and low-carbon development of agriculture. New-type agricultural business entities such as family farms, specialized cooperatives and agro-processing enterprises have become important vehicles of agricultural green transformation due to their comparative advantages in multiple aspects. Within the agricultural industrialization consortium, the motivation of new-type agricultural business entities to synergistically implement the agricultural green transformation strategy is affected by bounded rationality as well as multiple economic and social factors. Clarifying the mechanism of the above factors would be of benefit to promoting agricultural green transformation in developing countries. In this article, a tripartite evolutionary game model about the production and sale of green agro-products is constructed, and the influences of various factors on the evolutionary game process are analyzed, based on new institutional economics and new economic sociology. According to the simulation results, it is found that the proportional quality contributions of the agents, the intensification of consumers’ preference for green agro-products and the increase of social embedding cost are conducive to the system converging to the favorable evolutionary equilibrium at a faster rate. However, the increases of marginal costs, market risks and spillover effects would prevent the system from converging to the favorable evolutionary equilibrium. Accordingly, corresponding suggestions are put forward to support the effective supply of green agricultural products in the agricultural industrialization consortium.

“…Previous studies have shown that information release can regulate organisms into exhibiting specific behavioral responses, and those responses can be either positive or negative. For example, Li et al [ 44 ] pointed out that information release promotes the transformation of consumers’ pro-environmental food purchase preference into actual purchase behavior, while Streletskaya et al [ 45 ] and Wilson et al [ 46 ] believe that information release hinders the conversion of consumers’ high willingness to pay for emerging food to actual payment behavior by eliminating cognitive bias. In our case, the food supply information released by the government is often positive, which helps to improve citizens’ sense of security and thus prevents the part of food hoarding preference that arises from an “impulse” from being converted into actual hoarding behavior.…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, food waste caused by excessive hoarding has accounted a large proportion of the total food waste in urban Chinese households, which indicates that reducing food hoarding has become key to managing household food waste. This study therefore explored the behavioral mechanisms underlying excessive food hoarding among citizens. Based on a sample set of 511 respondents surveyed in Beijing, Hefei, and Guiyang in July 2022, a PLS-SEM model was conducted using SmartPLS 3.0 software to simulate the decision-making process of food hoarding. The following results were found. First, among the households with hoarding, 66.37% had some degree of food waste. Second, hoarding preference was the direct predictor of hoarding behavior, which means that hoarding behavior can be effectively controlled by regulating preferences. Third, group influence including homology consistency and social network support, as well as psychological panic, both enhanced citizens’ hoarding preference and induced hoarding behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to weaken group influence and try to help citizens overcome panic. Finally, food supply information release can not only alleviate citizens’ psychological panic and weaken group influence, but also block the transformation of preference into behavior. The above results are of great importance for the design of management policies for food waste caused by irrational hoarding during the pandemic.

“…The eastern region of Asia has gradually become one of the world’s most active economic regions. Compared with the previous three international industrial transfers, the most obvious feature of the fourth international industrial transfer is the transfer from the complete product value chain to the processing value chain [ 1 ]. Since the 1980s, global value chain trade has gradually increased in international trade, and the deep network structure of globalization shaped by the transnational flows of global value chains has generated structural power.…”

International industrial transfer (IIT) has spawned changes in the deep-seated structural power of value-added. We creatively construct an IIT index which includes both scale and direction, and constructs the structural power (SP) of value-added based on added value. Furthermore, based on 15 RECP countries from 1995 to 2018, this study uses a two-fixed-effect regression model to investigate the IIT on the structural power of value-added of RCEP countries. The results show that: (1) IIT can significantly promote the structural power of value-added of RCEP countries, and the benchmark regression conclusion is still valid after a series of robustness tests; (2) Heterogeneity analysis shows that IIT has a more significant promoting effect on the structural power of value-added in developed countries than in developing countries and a more significant promoting effect on the structural power of value-added inward than on the structural power of value-added outward; (3) Intermediary mechanism test shows that IIT mainly affects the structural power of value-added through trade openness and foreign direct investment. The conclusions of this paper provide useful enlightenment for enhancing the structural power of manufacturing value-added in RCEP countries in the context of global value chain division.
