“…For instance, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou have financial outputs exceeding 100 billion yuan, while cities like Zhaoqing have outputs below 10 billion yuan. Hong Kong has the highest overall financial development level, although some studies suggest that the mainland Chinese financial industry surpasses that of Hong Kong [ 35 ]. Moreover, Hong Kong’s securities and insurance sectors maintain a significant scale advantage and serve as an international asset and risk management center in the GBA [ 36 ].…”

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) represents a significant economic zone with a diverse financial landscape. Understanding the spatial distribution of financial resources within this area is crucial for promoting balanced economic growth and financial development. This study investigates the spatial patterns of financial agglomeration in the GBA, identifying key influencing factors and assessing their impact on the region’s financial landscape. We employ the entropy value method to evaluate financial agglomeration levels across the GBA’s cities. Additionally, we use spatial econometric techniques to analyze the spatial correlations and the Geo-Detector model to determine the primary factors influencing financial agglomeration. The analysis reveals an overall increase in financial agglomeration, with significant disparities among cities. Key factors driving this agglomeration include transportation infrastructure, overseas trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), and technological advancements. Hong Kong and Shenzhen display notable unevenness in the distribution of financial industries. The interplay between finance, technology, and industrial sectors suggests considerable development potential. Understanding and optimizing the spatial distribution of financial resources is essential for fostering high-quality financial development and sustainable economic growth in the GBA. This study provides insights that can inform policy decisions aimed at enhancing financial integration and cooperation within the region.

“…Drawing upon the pioneering works of Peng and Lian, Nayer et al [44,45], and Gu, Lian, Peng, and Zhao [46], we incorporate both data envelope analysis (DEA) and tobit regression into our methodology. These studies effectively demonstrate the utility of combining DEA and tobit regression to analyse the efficiency of economic policies and their impact on supply chain resilience and efficiency.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted global economies, underscoring the urgency of deriving lessons to enhance future crisis preparedness. This study explores the effects of monetary recovery policies on supply chain dynamics across key global cities during the pandemic’s initial phase, emphasising policy interactions, industry engagement, and economic resilience. Utilising principal component analysis (PCA), data envelopment analysis (DEA), and tobit regression, we present a pioneering method to unravel the complex relationship between economic policies and urban supply chains. PCA simplifies data complexity and reveals complex policy-resilience relationships, while DEA facilitates a comparative efficiency analysis. Our findings underscore the critical importance of supply chain resilience in fostering early economic recovery, indicating that cities implementing diverse, sector-specific policies achieved more notable improvements in gross domestic product (GDP). This research not only advances methodological approaches for policy evaluation but also provides valuable insights for optimising urban economic recovery strategies amidst global challenges.

“…This marketing practice is primarily targeted at the VIP market, also referred to as "high rollers" or "casino key accounts" for IRs. In the case of Macau casinos, the VIP segment accounts for the majority of gaming revenues (Gu et al, 2023). This market was primarily sourced from and catered for by junket operators prior to June 2022, when the new gaming law came into effect in Macau.…”

Purpose Using the analogy of “If you build it, they will come” from the movie Field of Dreams, this study aims to draw on relational signaling and commitment–trust theories to examine the role of different types of trust (cognitive, affective and relational) in the relationship between relational-encounter quality and customer loyalty to service employees and to the organization in the case of an integrated casino resort. The study confirms that building it (trust), they (customers) will come to the casino exhibited in their loyalty to casino hosts and their affiliated casinos. Design/methodology/approach The study was conducted with very important person (VIP) customers who have a designated VIP host to provide them with personal services at an integrated casino resort in Macau. The questionnaire was distributed to the respondents by VIP hosts using WeChat and Tencent QQ. Findings The study shows that different types of trust (cognitive, affective and relational) play a significant mediation role in the relationship between relational-encounter quality and the customers’ loyalty to the hosts and their affiliated casinos. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to investigate the roles of different types of trust (cognitive, affective and relational) in the relational encounter between casino hosts and VIP customers and provides insights into the link between service employees and their firm through the nurturing of the service encounter with the firm’s key accounts.
