Research on the impact of regional informatization construction based on big data on hidden costs

In recent years, supply chain corruption has emerged. We explore the influence mechanism of regional informatization on supply chain corruption governance, while adding two factors, family involvement and firm political affiliation, to consider their comprehensive influence on informatization governance. Through the analysis of fixed and moderating effects, we show that informatization is negatively correlated with supply chain corruption. In addition, this negative relationship is weaker when firms with a higher degree of family involvement; and this negative relationship is stronger when firms with political affiliation.
