    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.

    The Impact of US-CN Audit Agreement on US-listed Chinese Companies and Its US Peers

    This paper examines the US-CN Audit Agreement’s influences on investors’ reactions towards US-listed Chinese companies and the potential spillover effect on US domestic listed companies with the same auditors that Chinese companies have. The sample consists of 282 Chinese US-listed companies and 3986 U.S. companies with the same auditors as those Chinese companies. We then compare the average stock return of U.S.-listed Chinese companies and the U.S. companies based on the sample period for the stock return data begins from July 27, 2022, to Aug 29, 2022. By using T-test separately, we found that U.S. companies have higher average stock returns in the previous 21-days period, and in the 3-day announcement window, the difference in stock returns between U.S.-listed Chinese companies and U.S. companies is not material. Therefore, we document that although investors become so alarmed by the publication of the US-China Audit Agreement that stock returns suffer. As a result, the success of US-China audit cooperation will increase investor confidence and help Chinese companies' stock returns and mitigate the negative effects.

    Predicting the Federal Funds Rate: A Linear Regression Analysis

    In this research, we aim to utilize linear regression estimated by ordinary least squares (OLS) to construct a predictive model for the federal funds rate in the U.S.. It is a crucial instrument of implementing monetary policy, including financial institutions, investors, and policymakers. To construct the model, we will obtain data on various economic and financial indicators that affect the federal funds rate. This will include macroeconomic variables such as inflation and GDP growth, as well as financial market indicators such as the yield on government bonds and the reserve balance level held by Federal Reserve banks. We will then use this data to fit a linear regression model and evaluate its performance using various statistical metrics. Once the model has been developed, we will use it to make predictions about future federal funds rate actions and determine the leading causes of these movements. Additionally, we will test the model's accuracy given changes in the underlying data and assumptions. The findings of this study will be helpful to a wide range of academic and practical audiences and will offer insightful information on the factors affecting the federal funds rate.

    Is the Stock Market a Reliable Indicator of the National Economy? -- Empirical Analysis According to Chinese Data

    Based on China’s economic data from 1992 to 2021, this essay employs the unitary linear regression model to investigate the effect of the Shanghai Composite Index on per capita GDP and carries out heterogeneity analysis from the perspective of different bank types. This paper concludes that the stock market in China has the function of a barometer. Based on different industries, the Chinese stock market’s capacity as a barometer is effective in different industries, but China’s stock market has the greatest effect on the tertiary industry, the second industry, and the least effect on the primary industry. Based on the expenditure approach, Chinese stock market’s use as a barometer is effective for different components of GDP, but the effect of China’s stock market on net exports of products and services is the largest, followed by government consumption and input-output ratio, and the effect on household consumption is the least. Based on the consideration of timing, the Chinese stock market’s ability to serve as a barometer only took effect before the outbreak of the substandard goods crisis in 2008 and failed after the outbreak of the crisis.

    Predicting Fraud in U.S.-Listed Chinese Companies: An Empirical Analysis based on M-Score and F-Score Models

    M-Score and F-Score are financial fraud prediction models that are commonly used in Western capital markets. In this paper, we calculate M-Scores and F-Scores for each dataset of 15 fraudulent Chinese companies (including Hong Kong companies) listed in the U.S. from 2006 to 2020 and compare their M-Scores and F-Scores with 15 companies in the same industry that are not fraudulent. Firstly, we used Student's t-test on data from both models respectively. The result shows that both of them are able to predict fraud well for Chinese stocks listed in the U.S. With the result, we further compare and test the differences between the financial fraudulent samples and the comparison samples in the dimensions of each variable in the M-Score and F-Score models. Finally, we draw a result that they are effective in predicting whether a Chinese company committed financial fraud.

    Can Higher Salary Cap Bring the Team a Trophy? -The Correlation Between Player Salary Expense and Team’s Ranking

    This paper investigates the impact of a team's salary cap on its end-of-season standing. This study made use of data from the Spanish Soccer League (La Liga) and the National Football League (NFL). Four consecutive seasons of correlation and regression analyses were conducted for both leagues to determine the relationship between these two variables. The analysis revealed that in La Liga, a higher salary cap will result in a higher team ranking. However, no correlation between salary caps and NFL team rankings has been found. The root cause for the inconsistent results may be that the disparity in salary cap between NFL teams is insufficient to have an actual impact on team performance. This research is valuable in informing the club manager whether accumulating expensive players to buy the trophy is a feasible strategy.

    The Influence of Social Media Marketing on Consumers' Behavior

    Social media, an essential part of social connection, is becoming an inevitable global communication tool. The popularity and availability of mobile phones have further fueled the importance of social media. Social media marketing activities carried out by enterprises helps to attract more comprehensive customers and influence customers' purchase behavior. However, with the increasing investment of significant brands in marketing activities on social media platforms, marketing on social media is becoming increasingly competitive in building consumers' awareness about a particular product, customers' purchase behavior, and purchase decisions. Marketing research has focused on using social media to motivate consumers' purchase intentions and maintain consumer loyalty. The previous studies have shed some light on the significant impacts of social media on consumers' behaviors. However, few focus on consumers' purchase intentions and decisions. Through a literature review, this paper studies how consumer behavior changes due to social media. This paper explores how social media can ultimately market consumer behavior by influencing consumer psychology, attitude, and internal motivation for consumption through a literature review. Hopefully, this paper also can provide some ideas for enterprises to better their strategy formulation, optimize marketing plans, and improve brand benefits and corporate earnings in the increasingly fierce social media marketing competition.

    Enterprise Size Distribution in the Financial Network

    Due to the increasingly developed supply chain, the financial network has become more and more perfect in recent years. The financial network connects all enterprises, which helps small-scale enterprises get rid of difficulties and promotes the development of the whole industry. This paper studies the influence of enterprises of different scales on the whole financial network. Taking banks as an example, this paper builds a banking system composed of several banks, which are connected by inter-bank links. Then, a model is constructed to simulate different kinds of impacts on financial networks. After the simulation, the results of various situations are analyzed. Finally, it is concluded that large-scale enterprises play a vital role in the financial network. At the same time, this paper also expounds on the disaster that large-scale enterprises will bring to financial networks once they have their own crisis.

    National Monetary Policy Responses in the COVID-19 Epidemic

    The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant influence on the economies of many different nations in the world. When the economy suffers a severe blow, monetary policy should help it get back on its feet. Building the home market and maximizing industrial allocation is now especially crucial because the COVID-19 outbreaks have made it difficult for countries to conduct normal commercial exchanges. The COVID-19 also exhibits the traits of persistent global epidemics. Every new outbreak of the disease has a detrimental effect on the economy and severely undermines consumer confidence. National monetary policy from the world's major central banks was quicker, broader, moreover, the response to the economic and financial crisis of COVID-19 was more broad than the one to the global financial crisis of 2008. The response of three major nations, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and China, to the COVID-19 will be critically analyzed in this paper. However, there are many potential threats to the government's easing of monetary policy to keep the economy stable while stopping the spread of the pandemic, which means that persistently low interest rates are no longer a sustainable option. Therefore, balancing the financial chaos and social problems caused by monetary policy is the key to ensure the sustainable development of the country.

    The Impact of Brand Spokesperson Selection Decisions on the Sales of Necessities Companies -----In the Fan Economy of China

    The fan economy is a business model that is widely used in China. This study aimed to ex-amine the impact of the fan economy as a business model in China on the decision of companies to choose their brand spokesperson. Therefore, this study selected one city in the south and one in the north of China and sampled them separately. A total of 120 people of all ages from all walks of life were selected for the questionnaire survey, and ten of them were also interviewed. Based on the data statistics and interviews, significant differ-ences were found in the effects of both consumer income and consumer gender on the study results. The group with stable income cares more about the consumer experience and will use their own experience as a prerequisite for purchase, while the student group will tend to use the spokesperson as a reference for selection; women care more about the celebrity status of the brand spokesperson, while men show less care than women. While a larger study sample is needed to determine if there are other influencing factors in the study, the results suggest that consumer income status and gender are factors that should be considered when influencing the selection of spokespeople for essential goods brands.

    Dynamic Changes in US Financial Market under Fed's Rate Hike: Past, Present and Prospect

    In March 2022, the Federal Reserve began a new round of interest rate hike. Until February 2023, Jerome Hayden Powell, the incumbent chairman of Fed, still indicated that the continuation of the interest rate hike policy is still appropriate. Many significant changes have occurred in the financial markets over the past year, however, limited information is currently available to analyze the impact of the new round of Fed rate hike policy. This paper analyzes data of the U.S. dollar index, the Nasdaq 100 index and multiple secondary sources, applies economic principles such as the J-curve effect, cites examples from Japan, Sri Lanka and China, and finds that the U.S. financial market is in an overall sustained tightening state under the interest rate hike policy, and the international financial market will have to cope with more debt and trade challenges. This paper’s analysis is of great reference value to the investment decisions of the government, banks, enterprises and individuals.

    The Correlation between Salary Cap and Team Performance

    There has been increasing research regarding the salary cap for professional sports in recent years as the cap is getting higher each year, burdening the management team to allocate the cap wisely. This paper investigates whether the salary cap relates to team performance and if its allocation makes a difference. Our findings indicate a moderate correlation between the salary cap and the game won in the regular season. In contrast, the salary efficiency number correlates more with the game won, meaning the roaster strategy is a more crucial component of team performance.

    Research on the Factors of Moderation in Enhancing Corporate Value

    The link between systematic risk and the performance of firms was initially established. The systematic risk was investigated as a framework of CAPM, the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which is an efficient approach to risk assessment. The systematic risk is represented using the CAPM’s coefficient (beta). Indicators of financial performance were used to analyze systematic risk. Such indicators comprise of operational efficiency, liquidity, profitability, market valuation, and financial leverage. The study comprises the analysis of Lululemon Company, its competitors, Nike and Adidas Companies, as well as the comparison to the NASDAQ and DAX index. Based on the results of the estimation, the systematic risk of companies is inversely related to profitability, market value, and efficiency indicators. Also, there exists a negative correlation between the systematic risks of one year compared to the previous years. The findings indicate a positive relationship between leverage and systematic risk, growth and systematic risk are not related.
