    From Donald Trump to Joe Biden: The Adjustment and Continuation of U.S. Policy on Iran’s Nuclear Program

    This paper is targeted at the policies and adjustments of the United States against the nuclear program of Iran during the administration of Donald Trump and Joe Biden and attempts to analyze the reasons and motivations. After the Trump administration took office, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and implemented an all-round suppression of Iran. On the contrary, President Biden has shown a strong willingness to rejoin the deal and released goodwill to Iran frequently. Biden’s policy seems to be significantly different from that of Trump, but it does not deviate from the framework of the Trump administration. This paper explores the foreign policies of the two governments towards Iran through three levels of analysis and uses cognitive psychology to analyze the influence of Trump's personal factors on his policies. It concludes that Trump's policies on Iran nuclear issue during his administration are mainly affected by his political personality and national security environment, while Biden's strategic adjustment to the foreign policy is more influenced by political pressure at home and abroad besides national security.

    Trade Relations in the European Gas Market Before and after the Russo-Ukrainian War: From a Game Theory Perspective

    Europe is increasingly dependent on Russian natural gas imports. As Ukraine is the main transit country for gas trade between the two sides, the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which started in 2014 and has not stopped yet, has led to Europe's gas trade with Russia receiving an impact. Due to the importance of natural gas and the fact that this war was the largest in Europe since World War II, the trade relations between the European and Russian natural gas markets before and after the Russo-Ukrainian war and the diversification of natural gas in Europe have been studied by many scholars. This paper uses a review to summarize and sort out the relevant literature based on game theory to study the gas market trade relations in Europe before and after the Russo-Ukrainian War. According to these scholars, the trade relations between Russia and Europe in the gas market will continue to cooperate despite the impact of the Russo-Ukrainian war. The interruption of gas exports to Ukraine and the construction of pipelines bypassing Ukraine are acceptable to Russia and Europe. Iran, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and Iraq, along with the United States, should actively invest in expanding their gas export capacity to have the opportunity to serve as an alternative to Russian gas and make Europe less dependent on Russian gas imports. This paper provides an understanding of the implications of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict for the world in terms of gas trade. This paper provides a reference for related studies, and to understand the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on the world from the perspective of the gas trade.

    Different portfolio performance based on momentum strategy, market neutral strategy and PEG ratio in volatile market

    This paper aims to analyze the return of the investment portfolio based on the judgment of the current market, combining the characteristics of the strategy and the situation of the applicable industry. At present, many research papers have an aperture in understanding and practical application of the above topics, because they have not been comprehensively presented from multiple perspectives such as market and industry conditions and strategic characteristics. Momentum strategy, market neutral strategy and PEG ratio are selected here, combined with representative stocks in the consumer industry, energy industry, Internet and real estate for portfolio construction. By selecting the S&P 500 as a benchmark, it is compared with the historical price trend of individual stocks and the performance of the issuing company. While individual stock prices fluctuate significantly more than the benchmark, it is still possible to judge from the price action which strategy is more suitable. Based on the above analysis, it can be intuitively seen that momentum strategies and market neutral strategies are more suitable for the moment. It has reference value for strategy selection and construction in volatile markets. The analysis of the PEG ratio is relatively simple, and the ratio is only used as the adjustment and correction of the price-earnings ratio, and there are still many defects.

    Metaverse and Business Economics: Theoretical Foundations and Research Prospects

    The metaverse has become a hot topic driven by the scientific and technological foundation and actual needs. It has received widespread attention in the scientific community, the media, and the private sector. Some studies believe that the metaverse may completely change life patterns. Theoretically, theories related to the metauniverse emerge in an endless stream, but the combination of theory and industry is still in its infancy. This paper analyzes the current situation and development prospects of the metaverse industry from the three properties of the metaverse itself. The metauniverse has broken through the limitations of time and space and has a certain industrial foundation in entertainment, education, and psychotherapy. Human-machine integration is another property of the metauniverse itself. Reality is mapped to the virtual world and combined with virtual natives to bring a new sense of somatic feedback. The third point is the unique economic value of the metauniverse. Decentralized cryptocurrency is widely used, and digital collections are used as commodities in the virtual world to promote monetary circulation. At present, the data of the metaverse industry is relatively small. To analyze the value of the metauniverse more specifically, we need to summarize the data.

    Technology Industry Stock Price Prediction Based on OLS, Random Forest, and Extreme Gradient Boosting

    Contemporarily, the marriage of artificial computer intelligence and the financial stock market has gained increasing interest in recent years. In recent years, forecasting stock prices has also been a more prevalent topic of conversation. Investors lack a coherent knowledge of the model mechanism and prediction results behind stock price forecasts. Hence, this paper will examine Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, the three largest technology businesses. The three models OLS, Random Forest, and XGBoost were used to predict and evaluate historical data from the past five years. The OLS model has a superior performance structure when dealing with data sets with low data frequency, and its anticipated outcomes are also more accurate, according to the research. In addition, different machine learning models are employed for diverse data sets to produce predictions, hence enhancing the accuracy and dependability of the future predictions. Overall, these results shed light on guiding further exploration of investor investments in stocks and researcher studies theories and models.

    Analysis of the Advantages and Disadvantages of People Wearing Masks in COVID-19 Pandemic: A Game-theoretic Approach

    In recent years, a global health shock, Covid-19, has exerted a huge negative impact. Exhibited a high rate of infection and mortality, this pandemic caused tremendous losses in various fields. After studying how virus spread, people find that wearing masks can effectively reduce the probability of infection. However, there are still number of people struggling whether to wear masks or not. In the current paper, based on the probability of infection we construct two matrix models, one for standard players and one for players who have been recovered form Covid-19, to analysis the expected payoff of to being a mask wearer or non-mask wearer. Comparing the expected payoff as number of people increasing in the model, we find a critical point that people are indifferent of wearing masks and not wearing masks and name it as indifferent ratio. According to the results of the model and corresponding analysis, governments are suggested to enforce policies such as wearing masks in public and enable certain social distance. For people who have been recovered from Covid-19, they can choose not to masks in places where few people around them.

    Empirical Study of Gender Differences and Regional Economic Development

    With the widening of gender differences in modern society, the unequal treatment of women has also gradually deepened. On average, femalea are less educated than males in most of the provinces in China. This paper analyzes the relationship between educational levels of males and females in different regions and the regional economic development by using the gross regional product per capita during the last five years and annual data of male and female population with a college degree and above, which is sampled by province, and discusses whether gender differences will affect the local economic development. Through the analysis of existing data, it can be concluded that regions with a higher degree of gender discrimination have a lower GDP, and the gender discrimination rate is negatively correlated with GDP. Finally, this research summarized possible explanations for this phenomenon from the aspects of education level, labor participation rate and so on. So, because of gender the average education level of women might be negatively affected by discrimination, thus affecting the quantity and quality of work undertaken by women in society. Similarly, labor participation rates can also be affected by discrimination against a particular sex, where discrimination against men in a particular area or industry prevents male from entering the factory and contributing to the labor force. These phenomena will definitely bring about an undervalued development potential for the industry or area.

    Comparative Analysis of Factors Affecting Carbon Prices in China and Europe

    Global warming has become a hot issue of common concern to the international community in recent years. With the frequent occurrence of extreme weather events, reducing carbon dioxide emissions has become a priority for governments. The Paris Agreement makes it possible to connect carbon trading platforms of various countries and set up a global carbon emission rights exchange. The carbon price is affected by many factors, among which energy price, economic indicators and temperature are important factors. This paper compares how carbon prices fluctuate in response to different influencing factors in China and Europe. The reason for these differences is that China and Europe have different emission reduction policies, economic systems and energy structures. Research shows that the same influencing factor has a different impact on the carbon price in China and Europe. Participants in carbon trading may find this study useful in helping them comprehend the variations between the carbon trading markets in China and Europe.

    Starbucks' growth has slowed in recent years. The "golden decade" of Starbucks is still far away. This article aims to analyze Starbucks China's management's pain points and difficulties and give corresponding suggestions. The analysis in this article comes from texts and data from different sources such as news, periodicals, and Starbucks' official website. The article first described the general situation of Starbucks in China's coffee market, showing how it expanded its stores and developed its brand in China. Then, the article describes Starbucks's four primary pain points and dilemmas in China. The pain points reflect the impact of the external environment on Starbucks' marketing. For example, the market is highly competitive and has regional gaps. This dilemma reflects the effects of Starbucks' internal problems on marketing. For example, staff training is not in place, and online and offline sales development is unbalanced. Therefore, Starbucks still has many deficiencies that need to be improved on the road of Chinese management. Starbucks can only return to the development speed of the "golden decade" by improving these deficiencies.

    China’s and Japan’s Foreign Aid Policies towards Ethiopia(2010-2020)

    The phenomenon of Asia-African relations has received considerable attention since the start of the 21st century. As China and Japan are two leading Asian donors of Africa, their foreign aid policies are worth analyzing and comparing. Among African countries, Ethiopia is located in the horn of Africa, whose strategic position is relatively significant. In addition, Ethiopia has not been colonized in the history, which makes this case more meaningful. Most of the previous studies have concentrated on either one specific aspect like economic or certain country’s foreign aid policies towards Ethiopia. This research aims to analyze and compare China’s and Japan’s multifaceted foreign aid policies towards Africa and Ethiopia in particular. For this purpose, the primary data and materials have been collected from the official websites, official reports, and previous studies. The result shows that their differences involve political, economic and societal aspects. The Japanese government has tended to design detailed policies, guide companies to invest in Ethiopia and cooperate with the NGOs. On the contrary, China’s policies towards Ethiopia are more general, and the Chinese government has played a leading role in economic aiding than the Japanese government. In terms of the societal aspect, the Chinese government is more tending to cooperate with the Ethiopian government instead of the NGOs.

    The Impacts of the Clean Water Act on the U.S. Economy

    The purpose of our study is to delve into how the Clean Water Act influenced the United States economy. We used some secondary research such as results from previous studies, textbooks, relevant news articles, published academic research papers, government legal documents, and statistical databases. By using this solid data which was published on the government legal documents, we can ensure the accuracy of this data. We found the results of the Clean Water Act (CWA) are controversial, and they are two-sided. However, The CWA now looks like a pretty successful act. In 1972 the United States administration enacted the CWA to restrict the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States and regulation of surface water quality standards [12]. So our research question is how the Clean Water Act influenced the United States economy both beneficial and harmful. Previous studies have shown that the Clean Water Act actually has improved the economy drastically which we will talk about later. But there are some critics who examine the realistic aspect of the huge funds used to support this legislation which could be harmful to the economy.

    Sweet Potato Yield Prediction for Index Insurance in North Carolina

    Agriculture index insurance is an innovative topic that has not been well studied in the United States. North Carolina produces 1.7 billion pounds of sweet potatoes in 2020, but currently, there is no insurance to reduce the financial risk of farmers. As a result, index insurance focusing on North Carolina sweet potato farmers can be profitable. In this study, the precipitation is forecasted by the linear model using the first lag and seasonal factors. The predicted precipitations from May to September are then used to predict the yield. The precipitation model has significant factors for Season3, which represents July to September, the rainy season of North Carolina; the yield model has a significant variable of September, which is the harvest season of sweet potatoes in North Carolina. The precipitation model falls short of predicting the exact value of precipitation, but it catches the trend and seasonality. Despite the insensitivity of the precipitation model, the yield is predicted relatively accurate. The result of this study can be used to design the thresholds of the index insurance. Insurance companies can use thresholds to design insurance plans with different premiums.

    Different Cultures of Online Shopping Modalities: How Emerging Economic Modalities Shape Contemporary Society

    The emergence of economic modalities shapes different cultural societies by increasing platform economy in which consumers form different consumer behaviors between China and the United States. The previous study explained that U.S. consumers are resistant to online shopping due to privacy concerns. Previous research has studied the issue by interviewing U.S. consumers and by giving data for both China and U.S., and there are no possible solutions for this issue. Our study uses qualitative research to find databases between two countries and analyze consumer behavior differences. Our finding indicates that the unpopularity of the U.S. platform economy is because of the lack of a star economy, strong consumer rationality, and low level of vulnerability to the image. As opposed to previous assumptions, our study suggests adding diversified goods to the platform, offering appealing titles, and building convenient online consumption methods in order to make U.S. online shopping popular.

    Company Bankruptcy Prediction

    Following the founding and operation of a corporation, the biggest challenge it faces is the risk of bankruptcy, so how to prevent, controlling, and analyze the causes of bankruptcy is one of the most critical tasks for every company. As we all know, many factors affect corporate bankruptcy, and most studies are based on a unilateral or small range of factors set to study its impact on bankruptcy. Based on the data provided by Taiwan Economic Journal from 1999 to 2009, this paper adopts univariate and multivariate analysis models to analyze the data. A 3Comparative analysis, Normality test, T-test, non-parametric test, ANOVA test, Factor analysis and logistics were carried out using SPSS auxiliary tools Regression (Regression) controls relatively comprehensive factors that affect a company's bankruptcy from an overall perspective. It aims to demonstrate the selection of bankruptcy factors and analysis ideas. After analysis, we conclude that through the research and analysis, we have a new understanding of the causes of corporate bankruptcy. We find the four most important factors affecting corporate bankruptcy. Namely, ROAC before interest and depreciation before interest, Liability to Equity, Total assets to GNP price, and No credit interval, In addition, many single factors may have no impact on a company's bankruptcy. However, when they coexist with other factors, they will have a chain effect, resulting in even multiple amplification of the risk of bankruptcy. Therefore, different from the specific analysis of the impact of single factors on the bankruptcy of a company, this paper extracts the primary factors and takes the analysis of the relationship between individual factors as a specific example by showing the research perspective of innovation to propose the actual operation of a company from the macro and micro aspects, that is, to clarify which departments and decisions to pay special attention to in daily operation.

    Labour Market Analysis from a Behavioral Economics Perspective: From the Perspective of Unemployment Insurance and Employment Discrimination

    This article analyzes labor market problems through the lens of behavioral economics. This article seeks to identitys methods in which behavioral economics can provide policy recommendations for addressing issues related to unemployment and employment. While traditional economics fails to explain how unemployment insurance discourages job search and leads to long-term unemployment, behavioral economics finds that cognitive biases like loss aversion and present bias prolong unemployment. It suggests that policies must be designed by considering these cognitive biases to increase the motivation of the unemployed to accept work. One policy that can supplement unemployment insurance is wage-loss insurance. Wage-loss insurance is a short or long-term monetary subsidy when the wages in the new job are lower than in the old job. This paper uses qualitative analysis and a literature review to gather insights into labor market problems and the role of behavioral economics in addressing them.

    Research on the Comparison of Sampling with and Without Replacement in Quality Control Test

    The choice of a reasonable and scientific sampling method and the implementation of efficient quality control tests can help companies achieve economic and social benefits. In this paper, probability theory and statistics are applied to provide a basis for enterprises to consider the choice of sampling with and without replacement through case studies and modeling. These two sampling methods lead to binomial and hypergeometric distributions of probabilities, respectively. The differences between them are found to be negligible in the case of large population size by calculations at N→∞. Based on comparison of sampling methods, this paper further divides the manufacturing industry into the chemical industry, which is sensitive to the reliability of quality control test, and other manufacturing industries, which are more sensitive to cost while controlling quality. In the end, suggestions are proposed for improving quality control tests for the category industries respectively.

    Research on Internal Organization and Management of Haidilao Reflected in Post-Epidemic Era and Countermeasures

    During the epidemic, the catering industry in China and even the world has been hit hard, and many offline physical stores have had to close or even permanently close. However, it was Haidilao Enterprises that went against the trend. They adopted the strategy of expand-ing against the movement during the epidemic period. Still, the good times did not last long, which led to the continuous increase in losses of enterprises, and they had to close stores one after another. Finally, the development of Haidilao enterprises was sluggish. As the epidemic gradually receded, we ushered in the post-epidemic era, an opportunity for the development of many catering industries and a challenge for catering enterprises to change themselves. The origin of the problems in the development of the Haidilao enter-prise is internal management and control. This paper will study the internal organizational command and control issues and corresponding strategies of Haidilao enterprises in the post-epidemic era, hoping enterprises can seize the opportunity and return to life.

    Analysis on the Co-branding Strategy of Gucci

    Co-branding has become a vital strategy in the fashion marketing industry. The strategy involves collaborating with other brands to jointly innovate new products. This paper looks at the positive and negative aspects of co-branding. Taking the co-branding initiatives by Gucci as a case study, this paper makes the following findings. Co-branding helps brands to grow as long as both the two collaborating brands have unique strengths that make them better together. Such strengths may include market reach, brand awareness and reputation, and technical know-how. However, co-branding may produce unintended negative consequences when one brand suffers a negative brand image, which ends up getting transferred to the co-branding partner. Furthermore, either of the collaborating brands may lose its original brand image due to the influence of the partner brand. In the case of Gucci, it is found that the co-branding initiatives have resulted in mutual benefits for Gucci and its partners, but the strategy should not be extended for a long duration, as this is a risk factor for brand dilution.

    Discussion and Suggestions on Future Growth of OPPO

    The mobile phone market is always changing. In recent years, fashionable and cheap mobile phones like OPPO have become consumers' preferences, and their market share is also expanding. This research will make predictions about the development of OPPO in the next five to ten years. To make the forecasts reliable and convincing, the SWOT model and data from "Counterpoint" and "The Economic Times" are used. Generally, the international mobile phone market is slowly recovering, but the shortage of hardware components for Chinese brands, such as OPPO and VIVO, and the crisis between Ukraine and Russia made the expected fast recovery fail. For OPPO, its expansion is restricted by China's policy of COVID-19 and it faces serious shortages on making some core hardware components, hence in the future 5 years, OPPO is not expected to occupy much market share. However, in a future decade, it is hard to say. Although the influence of China's COVID policy restriction and the Ukrainian War is expected to disappear, the key restriction for OPPO is the limitation on components. OPPO should develop some core components independently to reduce the impact of the external supply market on the company's expansion. In addition, OPPO pays more attention to offline sales, and its sales have been greatly affected during the COVID-19 period. In the future, OPPO can expand online and other channels and can flexibly switch if similar emergencies happen in the future.

    The Implementation and Refinement of Range Breakout Strategy in Chinese Commodity Market

    The range breakout strategy is a momentum strategy that involves taking a long position in a security when its price exceeds a predetermined range and a short position when the price falls below the range. Previous research has indicated that this strategy is well-suited to the price volatility patterns observed in commodity markets. Considering the significant expansion and di-versification of China's commodity market in recent years, we decided to apply the range breakout strategy to China's commodity futures market and assess its feasibility and profitability. Our research utilized historical performance data from the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange and Shanghai Future Exchange between September 1, 2012, and July 31, 2022, obtained from CSMR as our database. We focused on the top 27 most liquid commodity futures categories to construct our back-testing portfolio. Our approach centered around using volatility as the basis for entry signals in the range breakout strategy and signal weighting as a portfolio construction method. The results demonstrate that the range breakout strategy, based on volatility, is highly effective in China's commodity futures market. This research con-tributes to the enrichment of optimization strategies in China's Future Market. Furthermore, we explored the use of cross-commodity hedging and the Average True Range (ATR) indicator to further enhance the strategy. Although no practical improvements were discovered beyond the original strategy, this exploration offers valuable insights for future research.

    The Impact of Public Resource Allocation on Housing Prices – Taking Chengdu as an Example

    This paper examines the impact of public resource allocation on housing prices and uses Chengdu as an example for analysis. By comparing education, healthcare, and transportation in each district of Chengdu, the study finds that public resource allocation and housing prices in Chengdu are positively correlated and that education and healthcare resources are more strongly correlated with property prices. Both public resources and property prices in Chengdu show a general trend of "circle + radial" diffusion, decreasing from the first to the third circle. After comparing the public resources and property prices in each district, it is clear that there is still a large gap between districts. This paper argues that the government should increase the construction of public resources and optimize talent policies in the surrounding areas in order to alleviate the disparity between districts, disperse the pressure on public resources in each district in the first circle, and promote coordinated urban development.

    The New Transportation Paradigm: The Sharing Economy

    The idea of a new transportation paradigm consisting of shared, multi-passenger vehicles has emerged along with the introduction of partly autonomous automobiles. As such a transformative but untested idea, the amount of existing research regarding this topic is limited. However, there are certainly discussions focused on individual elements of this topic and testing on a small scale: Driverless cars, shared vehicles, multi-passenger travel, etc. From these scattered papers, our team was able to compile the main problems with the current transportation paradigm and the potential benefits of the new sharing paradigm that we are advocating for. In this paper, we addressed four problems with the current paradigm and devised solutions for each problem via the benefits of the new sharing paradigm. Although we were unable to collect tentative data due to technological limitations, we gathered any research we could to simulate a world where the sharing transportation paradigm is adopted at a large scale, demonstrating the efficacy of the new paradigm in solving current pressing issues with a concentration on improving the environment both in cities and in general.

    Family Fertility Cost Estimation Based on CFPS Data

    The "demographic dividend" has brought abundant labor resources and low labor costs to our country. However, the official data released by the National Bureau of Statistics in 2021 shows that China's total fertility rate is 1.3. With the obvious trend, this endowment advantage will no longer exist. It is of great significance in contemporary China to calculate the cost of family fertility that leads to low fertility willingness, and to formulate policies to increase the fertility rate. Therefore, the paper builds a model to calculate the cost of family fertility in China through the equivalence scale theory, and calculates that the equivalence scale level of the family fertility cost in China is 1.41, which is a relatively high level in the world. On this basis, the paper analyzes the reasons for the high cost of fertility, and summarizes the shortcomings of the paper's research, therefore putting forward suggestions for future research.

Albeit, sometimes regular patterns are manifested in stock prices and a variety of factors are proved to be competent to determine stock prices partly. Hence, using stepwise regression on historical stock price data, this paper proposes determining similar patterns in stock prices and exploring potential rules to select the main factors that can affect stock prices significantly while taking all factors into account. Difference analysis is also employed to probe possible correlations in the data. Eventually, this paper tries to improve stock price prediction using factor analysis and manages to achieve higher accuracy.

    The Relation Between Risk and Portfolios – Risk Management Project Portfolios

    Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is a subsidiary of project management. It is used to control and coordinate the projects in various organizations' portfolios with clear objectives of maximizing the project results, balancing portfolio threats, and aligning the projects to meet the business's strategic aims. In many organizations, PPM is ranked on a higher level than the project management concept because the goal of PPM is to achieve the strategic objectives of an organization. However, risks typically arise during project implementation and management. The project managers constantly work to minimize the project risks while simultaneously maximizing the intended values of a given project. The project management teams should manage the risks while achieving the strategic goals and objectives of an organization. This paper discusses the relationship between PPM and risk management during the project implementation process. The paper explored the use of a systematic literature review to come up with these critical findings. The author recommends that there's a need to use empirical data to validate the existing theories and published literature findings. The project Portfolio Risk Management (PPRM) has practical and theoretical approaches in risk management (RM), decision theory, and modern portfolio theory. The use of a systematic literature review approach was used in the execution of this study to gain more insights into the influence of risks on project portfolio and success, identification of the project portfolio risks, and the management of risks in the project portfolio management context.

    The Arbitrage Outcome in the Triangular and Quadrangular Arbitrage Paths

    For a long time, both nationally and internationally, RMB hedging has been a contentious issue. The study and analysis of triangle and quadrilateral hedging in 30 countries are the focus of this article. In addition, they are classified into three groups: industrialized nations, developing countries, and backward countries, with the 30 countries that were chosen falling into each category. On the other hand, triangular arbitrage is an arbitrage that benefits from cross-exchange rate price movements. In contrast, quadrilateral arbitrage follows in the footsteps of those above but involves going via two more countries. Moreover, the data analysis for triangular and quadrangle arbitrage uses the total average, average, maximum, and minimum of favorable spreads, per the study below. From all of this, it could be seen that square hedging frequently has a broader spread or more losses, while triangular hedging frequently has a narrower spread.

    What Does Venture Capitalists Learn From IPO Failures?

    Venture capital investors focus on early-stage enterprises, the market participants have limited information about their prospects. Their investment decisions involve complicated factors and potentially the failures in the past can affect their future investment decisions. In this paper, within the context of venture capital investment, I examined the impact of the rate of IPO failures in one sector on future investment in the same sector. However, the direction of effect is ambiguous. The learning effect from past failure can be positive if the VC investors gain valuable experience from it. Alternatively, the learning effect can be negative as it reveals the VCs’ incapability to invest in that given sector. I exploit a data set from Preqin and a fixed-effect model to help me identify results that are consistent with a positive learning story. This finding contributes to our understanding of how VC investors make investment decisions and how financial market participants react to failures more broadly.

    Securitization:The “curse” of the Financial System during the 2008 Crisis

    During the 2008 financial crisis, many investment and commercial banks were hit hard. The primary reasons that caused the financial crisis were the abuse of mortgage securitization and the housing bubble. In this paper, our group mainly focused on the potential issue of the mortgage securitization structure and the impact that the abuse of securitization caused. Our group analyzed the correlation between mortgage defaults through the OLS linear regression model. It showed an underestimation of the possibility of defaulting on securitization products (MBS, CDO, etc.). Furthermore, our group analyzed the expansion of this potential risk due to the raised housing bubble. After analyzing the potential risk, our group analyzed the impacts that the securitization caused in macro and micro views. First, our group analyzed vital factors that affect bank performance using the OLS linear regression model. Moreover, based on the change of these critical factors caused by the exposed potential risk from the securitization structure, our group analyzed the bank’s performance during the financial crisis. Second, our group analyzed the macro impacts before, during, and after the financial crisis due to the abuse of securitization. Overall, according to the potential risk in the securitization structure and the macro and micro impacts caused by the exposed potential risk, our group concluded that the abuse of securitization was the “curse” for the whole financial system at that time.

    Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Private Equity Risk Management

    Small and medium-sized enterprises are playing an important role in Chinese economic development. However, due to the lag in system construction, the scale of small and medium-sized enterprises is relatively small; many of these enterprises lack funds, and it is difficult to get loans. The financing difficulty of small and medium-sized enterprises always exists in China, which has become an important reason restricting their further development. In the past, smes used to borrow money from banks to finance their development. They have been borrowing from banks with their assets as collateral, but as the country has adopted a tight monetary policy, most of the loans applied for by smes have been rejected by banks. Private equity fund has the characteristics of low financing threshold and high added value of enterprises, helping many small and medium-sized enterprises to solve the capital problem, enabling them to develop and grow. In the process of private equity fund financing, the macro environment and micro factors bring huge risks to the whole financing process. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate, analyze and control every risk that may cause financing failure in the financing process. This paper uses the method of literature review, qualitative and quantitative combination, through the construction of small and medium-sized enterprise private equity fund investment risk evaluation index system, from the micro and macro environment to evaluate and analyze the risk, for the analysis of small and medium-sized enterprises may face financing risk to provide effective avoidance measures.

    The Golden Parachute Mechanism of Listed Businesses' Bad Faith Takeover Defense

    As the wave of mergers and acquisitions spreads in China, incidents of hostile takeovers in the capital market are becoming more frequent. More Chinese companies are revising their articles of association and adding anti-hostile takeover clauses, including the Golden Parachute clause, to protect their interests. Most research on Golden Parachute has focused on the U.S. market, but China's capitalist market environment and corporate governance structure differ greatly from the U.S., and there are blank spaces in the value judgment of the Golden Parachute in American studies. When introducing it in China, legislative bodies and corporate rules should not copy blindly; rather, they should extract its essence while discarding the dross. This article summarizes current research literature on the Golden Parachute clause by Chinese and American academia, uses empirical research to analyze how the clause was applied in the Musk-Twitter acquisition case, and presents personal insights on how Chinese companies can write the Golden Parachute clause into their articles of association and localize it based on actual mergers and acquisitions scenarios. Efforts must be made at the institutional, legal, and ethical levels to address the challenges faced by the Golden Parachute clause in practice, thereby opening up greater possibilities for their application in China.

    The Influence of Different Demographic Factors on Consumers’ Financial Literacy in China

    Because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, China's economy and financial markets have been volatile in recent years. This necessitates using financial literacy by Chinese customers to handle their assets effectively and avoid losses. This essay aims to investigate the effect of various demographic parameters on the financial quality of Chinese consumers. The 2019 China Consumer Finance Survey questionnaire yielded 13,000 data points for this article. STATA was applied to screen twelve independent variables associated with financial quality, and a multiple linear regression model was utilized to determine the association between each variable. The findings revealed a strong relationship between age, gender, income, education level, the proportion of household members with sickness, consumer risk preference, rural domicile, family size, self-employment and house ownership with financial quality, except that there was no significant correlation between marital status and consumer financial quality. The results indicated a significant correlation between age, gender, income, education level, and the proportion of household members with illness. These findings imply that different demographic factors influence Chinese consumers' financial quality to varying degrees. As a result, each consumer makes different decisions about managing assets and avoiding risk.

    Product Differentiation: Implications for Corporate Finance

    Product differentiation is a key component of market structure, according to the theory of industrial organization, and the degree to which enterprises control the market depends on how well they differentiate their products. In addition, the company generates enough uniqueness in the components making up the product entity or in the delivery of the prod-uct to distinguish it from competing goods of a similar nature and draw in customers, earning their preference and loyalty. This paper introduces the causes of product differen-tiation, analyzes its application in the market and the implementable strategies for enter-prises to achieve product differentiation, and uses some examples to illustrate that product differentiation is a highly visible marketing strategy, which should be widely promoted. At the same time, it also has certain limitations and instability. Products need to establish a variety of different advantages and long-term supply chain between enterprises, cannot blindly exaggerate the role of product differentiation. In the current market environment, the same product categories emerge in endlessly. Therefore, businesses must properly cre-ate differentiation in order to make their products stand out.

    The Local Dynamics of Industrial Growth in Hong Kong Under the U.S. Embargo Policy in the 1950s

    When people think of Hong Kong in the 1960s, most will recall the industrialized prosperity of Hong Kong. Most scholars regard the industrialized prosperity in the 1960s as a direct consequence of the U.S Embargo Policy launched in the 1950s, during the Korean War. However, a no less important driving force, the impacts of the dynamic role of local businessmen and local chambers on the growth of industries has been overlooked. Given the current academic neglect of the local dynamic role, this paper aims to analyze the driving force played by local actors such as associations, chambers of commerce, and even merchants in promoting Hong Kong’s industrial growth, especially in the shipping industries. This paper will demonstrate the effect of embargo policy as well as the contribution of local dynamics, which altogether provides a comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting Hong Kong’s industrial growth in the 1950s.

    Behavioral Economics: The Decoy Effect

    Behavioral economics blends psychology and economics to determine how psychological triggers or nudges influence people's decision-making. The decoy effect has been a particular focus of study in the behavioral economics literature. The decoy effect is seen as an effective "Nudge" and is widely used by businesses.

    Does Covid-19 Change the Effect of Competition on Price Discrimination in U.S. Airline Industry?

    This paper seeks to examine the relationship between price discrimination and market competition before and after the outbreak of Covid-19 in the US busiest flight route, from Los Angeles airport, LAX to New York airport, JFK as a representation of the U.S. airline market. Scholars hitherto have long been focused on the effect of market concentration on price dispersion. There are two main conflicting theories that determine the relationship, the monopoly effect, and the branding effect. We analyze the air lane from Los Angeles to New York in two time periods, one from 2018 to 2020, and the other from 2020 to 2022 to see if Covid-19 changes the dominance of one effect over the other. The results of our study show that market competition has a positive effect on price discrimination during the pre-Covid period while revealing a negative effect on price discrimination after the outbreak. We conclude from the results that the branding effect dominates the LAX-JFK market before Covid-19, which means that higher competition increases the capability of a firm to charge different prices for different segments of customers whereas the monopoly effect overturns after the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Effective Factors under Stock Market Regimes

    The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index (VIX) is a measurement of volatility in the stock market, which is closely associated with the return of the risk premium. This paper categorized the monthly log returns of VIX by Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) and investigates the driving factors of VIX among the Equity Market Volatility (EMV) trackers under different regimes using the elastic net linear regression model. As a result of categorization, two regimes in log returns of VIX are found. Regime 1 with a lower mean covers most of the months, while regime 2 with a higher mean captures the months of extreme log returns. In months of both regimes, the policy-related factor significantly and independently affects VIX. Another factor that largely affects VIX in regime 1 is the macroeconomy and other factors have little impact on VIX in regime 1. Infectious disease, policy, and government related factors are more important in affecting VIX in regime 2.

Thus, SMEs' problems are the economy's problems, and it is worth investigating and trying to solve them. Most studies examine SMEs' finance dilemma's causes, while others focus on a specific solution. This paper examines these finance issues and weighs the pros and cons of various solutions. This paper uses a literature review to explore China's economy, the problem, risk perception, and its effects. The study also discusses possible solutions and future development.

    Constructing the Evolution of International Factors on War Model with a Comparative Political Perspective—Taking the War in Ukraine as an Example

    In terms of the state of Europe, Michael E. O’Hanlon believes that even if the war in Ukraine ends soon, the events so far have changed the security environment in Europe. The tripwire strategy NATO has used in the Baltic states and Poland since about 2017 must now be replaced by a permanent forward defense posture of modest size and scope. Starting with two external factors, aid and sanctions, this paper uses a comparative political science approach to construct a military and economic model of the Russo-Ukrainian war by September 2022. This paper finds that Ukraine is constrained by its strength and weapons in the face of advanced operational command concepts and cannot effectively stop Russia. This ideological difference has led to a failure to achieve a balanced model of war, while at the same time, we note that all sides are also managing the risk of war escalation. The lack of planning for economic sanctions against Russia and the vacillating attitudes of the West, including the US, make the course of the war and subsequent reconstruction far from certain.

    Venture Capital Investment Success: A Study of the Factors that Matter

    Venture capital funding is essential for emerging businesses because it allows them to gain access to capital and other resources necessary for growth. VC firms play an important role in economic growth because they inspire innovative thinking and provide funding for startups to develop marketable products and cutting-edge technologies. Consequently, it is essential for venture capitalists to take into consideration relevant aspects before investing in order to increase the proportion of investments that are successful. Through literature analysis which has revealed that there are six key components to a successful venture capital firm: the team, the syndication, the valuation, the value-add, the interaction with investors, and the exits. Importantly, venture capitalists place more weight on the selection of transactions than on the selection of investments. Rather than considering a company's track record or product offerings, investors will place greater emphasis on the management team behind the venture. Many venture investors subscribe to the old adage that investing in a mediocre idea with excellent management is better than a fantastic business strategy with inexperienced management because a team with competent and experienced employees will play a significant part in the firm's growth. Even while it's crucial to choose your transactions carefully, value can also be created by the addition of new elements after an investment has been made.

    A Literature Review on the Capital Asset Pricing Model in Finance

    CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) plays an extremely important role in the financial sector.

However, with the deepening of research, people find that the stock returns in the capital market do not conform to CAPM. The results obtained by the capital asset pricing model may be due to the lack of data validity in the market, which leads to its own inability to carry out relevant tests. In different regions, scholars in some regions have also conducted relevant research on the local capital market. They think that CAPM does not conform to their current regional situation.

    Impact of COVID-19 on Cost and Profitability---Taking the Service Agency for Studying Abroad as an Example

    After the outbreak of COVID-19 since the beginning of 2020, people were more cautious about the decision to study abroad. Objectively, it was difficult for people to get visas and buy air tickets because of the inconvenience of going abroad caused by the fuse of flights. Subjectively, people were worried about COVID-19 infection, so they tried to avoid leaving their country. As an intermediary, the business mode and the profit model of service agencies for studying abroad were also affected to some degree. In order to figure out how the costs and profitability changes according to COVID-19, many researchers had done some investigations on students who are prone to study abroad. From the perspective of economics, the costs of agencies were found to be rising significantly due to the uncertainty of COVID-19. It included fixed cost, sunk cost, opportunity cost and variable cost. But from another perspective, if an agency could adapt to the new situation as quickly as possible and grasp the new opportunities to offer a wider range of services, it might greatly increase its profits instead. Faced with this, agencies should focus on improving service quality and constantly expanding new service, such as language courses, career planning and internship training. Through cooperation with more high-level universities and famous enterprises at home and abroad, they could provide customers with more comprehensive services, as well as gain more profits.

    The Influence of Endowment Effect on The Online C2C Commodity Market for Chinese International Students

    In the online Consumer to Consumer (C2C) market for commodities, buyers and sellers have a propensity to value a commodity differently, resulting in disparate pricing expectations and a resulting dispute. In addition, it is debatable if the valuation difference still remains when purchasing and selling behavior occurs outside of C2C platforms. This study sought to determine the extent to which the endowment effect affects prices in the online C2C commodities market for overseas Chinese students. Using questionnaires to collect data, this study discovered a price disparity between buyers and sellers of pre-owned commodities. Nonetheless, it has been shown that it is doubtful whether ownership plays a major influence in the outcome, as no participant has stated that ownership is an essential aspect in determining pricing. This research concluded that buyers and sellers have different valuations. However, the extent to which it is purely owing to the endowment effect is debatable. Based on the findings, this study recommended that C2C platforms establish a "bridge" that helps both buyers and sellers better understand the other's perspective.

    The Impact of Online Credit Lending Model on the Public's Overspending Decision

    In recent years, with the rapid development of the Internet, the financial market pattern is also changing. And the way of consumption through the Internet is gradually becoming mainstream. In order to meet the needs of the majority of consumers, online credit products have emerged. The emergence of this new financial service is not only a change in the quality of life of the masses of society, but also a new challenge for the financial market. Therefore, this paper investigates its impact on consumers' over-consumption decisions. Through regression analysis, we conclude that there is a positive relationship between the online credit lending model and the public's overspending decision. And the higher the loan amount, the longer the repayment period, the lower the loan interest rate, and the more accessible the loan qualification, the higher the public's willingness to overspend. On the other hand, the degree of loan facilitation has no statistically significant effect on the degree of overspending. By establishing a model to analyze the degree of overspending, this study is conducive to the establishment of reasonable consumption habits by consumers. It can help the financial service industry understand customers' consumption tendencies, rationalize their programs and provide a reference for government agencies to formulate economic policies. And it can promote the successful development of the financial market.

    Discussion on the Advantages and Disadvantages of the DCF Model in the Current Era and the Improvement of the Model

    The discounted cash flow model is a company value evaluation method widely used by many domestic investors when investing company. However, under the background of the epidemic, due to factors like low benchmark interest rates that are not conducive to the valuation of the DCF model, the accuracy of the discounted cash flow model valuation has been questioned. In addition, the DCF model is not entirely applicable to the domestic market because of the multiple systems and the local capital market's imperfections, so the model needs to be improved. In this paper, the existing literature is summarized, and it was found that the time series analysis method can be used, which can predict the company's future cash flow more accurately, instead of the sales ratio analysis method, while the discount rate can be calculated more accurately by substituting each company's beta into the calculation instead of using the company's industry beta.

    The Influences of Pricing Based on Consumer Preference---Taking the ‘Hype Shoes’ Phenomenon as an Example

    In recent years, the phenomenon of “hype shoes” has attracted more and more attention. The “hype shoes” uses consumer preferences to make special pricing and make money on the price difference. To understand how consumer preferences influence pricing strategy, many studies have dissected consumer preferences from the producer’s perspective. In this paper, we analyzed whether a firm’s pricing strategy is reasonable from an economic perspective, and also clarify the importance of consumer preferences in business competition. There are many economic principles behind this phenomenon and it is worth reflecting on them. Studies have found that consumers’ age, gender, occupation and even body size can be used as pricing factors by businesses. Therefore, once a company has more information about a consumer, it can provide personalized services to the consumer, and on the other hand it may use big data discriminatory pricing (BDDP) to earn more money. Through the analysis of the “hype shoes” phenomenon, businesses should learn to correctly grasp consumer preferences and then raise pricing appropriately based on cost. Finally, businesses should know how to properly invest in market research to obtain more consumer data and ultimately adopt a successful pricing strategy.

    Analyzing the State of the U.S. Economy in the Post-Pandemic Era

    With the normalization of the epidemic in the United States, the COVID-19 virus is increasingly regarded as a more contagious "big flu" with higher-fatality. The new coronavirus has mutated to make it more susceptible to multiple infections, and some patients may experience symptoms that last for months or years.

    After centuries of development, it has been proven that research and development (R&D) and innovation are the driving forces for a country to sustain its economic development and they are also essential to the development of companies. Scientific and technological innovation is strategic support to improve productivity and comprehensive national power, so companies' investment in innovation is increasing year by year.

This move has helped to energise companies in terms of entrepreneurship and innovation, while also reducing the cost of innovation and driving many new companies to invest in R&D. In this paper, the author discusses whether R&D innovation helps companies to grow by investigating the company’s size, governance structure, financial report, and A-share market returns. It is found that R&D innovation is a good driver of business development and can bring advantages to companies.

    Targeted Advertising Placement in Video Platforms: Implications for Business Profitability

    Advertising is an important tool used to deliver commercial messages with a strong economic purpose. With the development of online information, more and more companies or advertisers choose to advertise on large video platforms. However, the ambiguity of advertising positioning has led to a low tolerance of the audience population to the advertisements placed on video platforms. "Targeted advertising" and "precision marketing" have always been commercial buzzwords, and targeted advertising is one of the marketing strategies of precision marketing. In this paper, we explore the attitudes and preferences of different groups of people in terms of ad appearance, ad type and ad content, as well as the differences and connections between public service ads and commercial ads, using a large video platform in mainland China as a background. Among them, it is found that for the group of company employees, they prefer food-based ads, which is quite different from what is expected. For companies, placing more precisely targeted ads is conducive to positive communication in the bilateral market.

    Analysis of the Importance of “Love” and Brand Marketing to Diamond Product Sales—Taking Darry Ring as an Example

    As an industry with a very long history of development, diamond products are now very diversified in marketing methods, but adding love attributes to products is still the mainstream of diamond marketing. In previous studies, the research generally focuses on the diamond export control adopted by De Beers and the marketing miracle of "A Diamond is Forever." However, today's diamond industry has a more innovative way of publicity. This paper is making efforts to analyze what impact love and brand marketing can bring to the diamond industry. The turnover changes in recent years of the Chinese diamond brand Darry Ring and its unique and innovative marketing methods are going to be analyzed. The result shows that the marketing method of "a man can only customize one ring in his life" adopted by Darry Ring has brought great social attention and sales growth to the brand. At the same time, this innovative concept has also helped Darry Ring successfully shape its brand image, which is obviously different from the traditional diamond product brands and is highly sought after and welcomed by consumers.

    Research on China's Economic Situation and Future Expectations under the Epidemic

    The outbreak of the new crown epidemic in 2020 has had a huge impact on societies and economies around the world. The economic downturn has been the norm for the last two years, but it is still important to stay on target and grow. As the world's second largest economy, China's economic development and the factors affecting it in the event of an epidemic are particularly crucial. It is also relevant to sustainable development. This paper examines the extent to which the factors affect the economy through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The current state of the Chinese economy and expectations for future development are analyzed two main topics, the situation of the Chinese economy, and the future development of China and the Sustainable Development Goal. The ratios show that consumption is the main factor influencing the economy. This is followed by unemployment, investment and even taxation. Also comparing the way the US and China stimulate consumption, the conclusion is that because of the different national conditions, the way to stimulate the economy will be different. Finally, in the context of Sustainable Development Goal 8.1 sustainable development goals, it is difficult to achieve an economic growth rate of at least 7% by 2030 because of the unstable economic situation and the constant blow of the epidemic. However, there is a positive expectation for China's future economic development and the economy will gradually recover. There is still a need for a strong development in technology and new energy economy to reach the sustainable development goals.

    The Impact of Short-selling Institutions on Chinese Stock Companies and Market——From the Case of Luckin Coffee

    As a major engine of the capital market, the stock market is favored by investors. But the huge profit space and operability are also easy to breed the soil of corruption and fraud. At present, due to the increased participation efficiency of short-selling institutions, the financial risks faced by enterprises have further increased. Through the case of Luckin coffee, we observe the stock price changes after it encountered short selling, combined with the model of the arbitrage pricing principle to find the role of short-selling institutions in the market. By disclosing corporate financial fraud, short-sellers can improve the effectiveness of market supervision to a certain extent, reduce the occurrence of stock market premiums, and bring stock prices back to their true levels. On the premise of ensuring the stability of the stock market and introducing a reasonable system, the Chinese market can also consider developing a similar mechanism to inject fresh blood into economic development.

    The Anchoring Effect and Related Applications: Cognitive Inertia and Habitual Thinking

    By analysis research on the anchoring effect of previous scholars, it was found that irrational judgments in financial markets due to the anchoring effect are significant with the influence of past information. By analyzing data from the equity and securities markets, we find that even professionals can make inaccurate judgments due to the anchoring effect. In addition, we found that the anchoring effect does not require a significant information factor to be implemented, as different experiments have shown that the subconscious mind can also influence people's decisions. However, it is interesting to note that the anchoring effect can also influence behavior in the opposite way, by limiting the sales of a product and thus increasing the sales of that product.

    Application of DCF Financial Valuation Model - Taking BYD as an Example

    With the rapid development of modern financial industry, the valuation methods for modern enterprises are becoming more and more diverse. However, the DCF financial model is still a relatively common and accurate one. This paper will adopt the DCF valuation method, which is one of the cash flow discounting-based methods, to valuate a Chinese new energy enterprise called BYD. The result of the valuation is 7.39 trillion yuan, which is about 0.6 trillion from the actual result. The result is slightly different from the normal valuation, because it is still affected by the fixed debt and the estimation error of the future inflation rate and China's growth rate.
