AbstractForeign enterprises in China have long enjoyed 'super‐national treatment'. This paper aims to explore the role of tax benefits in observed transitioning from domestic into foreign enterprise. Using firm‐level data, we find that the preferential tax policies enjoyed by foreign firms increase the probability of transitioning from domestic to foreign firms. To examine the effects of imported foreign direct investment (FDI), we separate introduced FDI into 'genuine' and 'fake' types according to the share of the host firm's registered capital, and it is seen that only 'genuine' FDI can improve the targeted firm's productivity and financial situation.

PurposeThis study aims to identify which types of information quality influence purchase intentions the most in live streaming commerce and to examine the role of network size in this context.Design/methodology/approachWe propose a model to investigate the correlation among the quality of different information in live streaming commerce, consumer trust, network size and purchase intention. An empirical analysis of 505 questionnaires was conducted by constructing a structural equation model.FindingsThe empirical findings indicate that information quality can directly enhance purchase intention and exert an indirect influence through the mediating factors of trust in products and streamers. Perceived network size positively moderates the relationship between information quality and trust in products. Of the five types of information, the quality of bullet-screen comments information is most important to consumers.Originality/valueThis study represents the first systematic analysis of how the quality of multiple types of information in live streaming commerce influences consumer trust and purchase intention, integrated within a unified framework. It uniquely introduces network size as a moderating variable, offering both theoretical insights and practical guidance for balancing information quality with network size in live streaming commerce environments.
