    Research on the Impact of New Energy Vehicles on China’s Industrial Policy Innovation

    The subject of China’s new energy vehicle policy implementation analysis was chosen due to the growing importance of switching to renewable energy due to resource depletion, price volatility, and the need to address pressing environmental issues. New energy vehicles are critical for controlling greenhouse gases and atmospheric pollutants, reducing the auto industry’s dependence on oil which makes this subject matter crucial nowadays. Such methods as secondary literature analysis and case study are essential to analyze the processes behind China’s new energy vehicle success. As a result, the current backdrop of environmental and political instability has stimulated the Chinese government to create a range of policymaking initiatives that rely on provincial and central collaboration, cutting switching costs, and socially normalizing new energy vehicle use. The value of this paper is in how it can be utilized as a fundament for other business branches and governments to construct effective initiatives to grow the renewable energy vehicle market.

    The Solution Strategies of Financing Constraint Predicament of Digitalized Empowerment of Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises

    Micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) have been an important part of our country's economy for many years. However, their survival and development are always affected by the phenomenon of financing constraints, which has resulted in non-negligible consequences for the development of the national economy. This paper utilizes with a large amount of data and information, and uses the method of induction and deduction to summarize the reasons for the financing constraint phenomenon from three levels, and puts forward corresponding solutions for different levels. The causes of financing constraints are divided into three levels. First, at the micro level, MSMEs cannot meet the expectations of investors and the requirements of mortgage loans. Secondly, at the industry level, due to the relative backwardness of the capital market. Finally, at the national level, local governments have not fundamentally solved the problems of financing difficulty and slow financing for MSMEs. In order to solve the above problems, this paper puts forward three different solutions. At the enterprise level, the enterprise should actively use digital technology to improve its own operating capability and operational compliance; Small and medium-sized banks should use new media and other technologies to strengthen ties with customers and improve service quality and data processing capabilities. At the industry level, big banks should help the small and medium-sized banks to accelerate the digital transformation. At the national level, local governments should provide policies including but not limited to financial support for the digital transformation of MSMEs.

    Research on Compensation Incentive Mechanism of State-Owned Enterprises - A Case Study of Chinese Enterprises

    The sudden change in the global economic situation has brought about changes in internal and external market conditions. In this context, China's state-owned enterprises continue to use the traditional salary management model in the salary system, which has many shortcomings in the degree of market openness, distribution mechanism and supervision, which is not conducive to our economic development. It is very important to establish and improve the salary incentive mechanism of state-owned enterprises. A scientific and perfect incentive mechanism can effectively stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of employees and play a vital role in the healthy and sustainable development of public enterprises. However, with the progress and development of the times, the traditional wage incentive mechanism has exposed some problems that cannot fully function. To this end, this paper analyzes the problems in the current salary management model of state-owned enterprises and finds that performance-based salary incentives actually reflect the wealth created by employees for their work. The consistency of goals among employees, managers and shareholders. Finally, from the existing problems, measures are proposed to improve the current wage management model of SOEs in order to enhance their economic development.

    Application Research of Portfolio Related Theory--Based on Hong Kong Stock Data

    With the development of the stock market, people have carried out in-depth and comprehensive research on the portfolio theory. This paper aims to verify and analyze the practical application of the relevant theories. By collecting the stock price information of Hong Kong stocks as the target, this paper verifies and discusses basic theories such as tangent portfolio theory, portfolio diversification effect, Markowitz portfolio theory and Sharpe ratio. In the minimum variance portfolio and the tangent portfolio, this paper obtained the weight of each asset under the conditions of assets and without risk-free assets. Finally, the differences in the weights of investment targets in the portfolio are analyzed and discussed. The results show that, first, in the minimum variance portfolio, when considering risk-free assets, only investing in risk-free assets is considered, and when risk-free assets are not considered, assets with lower variance are given higher weights. Second, in a tangent portfolio, regardless of whether risk-free assets are considered, assets with higher Sharpe ratios in the portfolio are given higher weights. This can give some guidance and suggestions for future investment behavior.

    Research on Embedded Technology Import and the Growth of TFP in China's Manufacturing Industry —— Based on the Panel Data from 1992 to 2020

    In the past few decades, the import of embodied technologies, mainly the import of capital goods and intermediate goods, has met the needs of industrial structure upgrading and export expansion. This paper uses the DEA-Malmquist method to measure the total factor productivity and its decomposition value of 26 manufacturing industries in China from 1992 to 2020, and uses a fixed effect model to empirically analyze the impact of embedded technology imports on China's manufacturing total factor productivity. The results show that the import of embedded technology has a positive effect on the total factor productivity of the manufacturing industry and technological advancement, while the impact on technical efficiency is not significant. After classifying the manufacturing industry according to the technical level, it is found that the import of embedded technology significantly improves the total factor productivity of low-tech and medium-tech manufacturing, while the impact on resource-based manufactured goods and high-tech manufactured goods is not significant. Finally, this paper gives policy recommendations based on the empirical results.

    Analysis of factors affecting fertility rate in China

    Fertility is an important factor that determines the trend of population development in China. In recent decades, China’s fertility rate is declining. Nevertheless, the formation mechanism and influence behind it are still lack of unified explanation. Hence, this article researches and analyzes the reasons of the decrease of China’s fertility rate through factor analysis and cluster analysis based on the data collected in the past two decades since 2002. On the basis of this article, the per capita disposable income of residents, the crude divorce rate, the number of divorce registrations, the urban population ratio, and the high school enrollment rate have a prominent relevance with the fertility rate. In addition, the fertility rate alters in the past 20 years in this paper can be divided into three categories: the fertility rate was relatively stable from 2002 to 2011, the fertility rate increased significantly and fluctuated slightly from 2012 to 2015, and the fertility rate decreased rapidly from 2016 to 2021. If the government hopes to maintain a high birth rate, it can achieve this by easing the birth policy and improving the divorce calm down period system.

    The Impact of Digital Economy Development on Residents' Consumption

    In recent years, the digital economy’s development has affected all aspects of society, of which residential consumption is a very important part. Currently, domestic research of the digital economy on consumption is on the rise, but most of the current research is theoretical analysis, lacking empirical results and related impact mechanisms. Based on the data of China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) in 2010 and 2014, this paper uses the "Broadband China" strategy released in 2013 as a natural experiment of the digital economy, and applies the difference-in-difference (DID) method to estimate the digital economy’s impact on the consumption of residents. The study finds that the development of the digital economy has a significant positive effect on residents' consumption, mainly through three paths: social capital, human capital and income effect. The examination of heterogeneity reveals that the central region, urban residents, the middle and high education level, and the middle income group are the main beneficiaries of the digital economy's promotion of consumption, and the further study finds that the digital economy’s impact on residents' consumption is concentrated on subsistence consumption.

    Research on the impact of corporate social responsibility information disclosure and corporate innovation in China

    China started to implement a new system in 2008, asking fractional companies to make public their corporate social responsibility information disclosure. The financial and corporate governance data of Chinese A-share listed businesses from 2007 to 2016 was gathered in order to determine any potential relationships between the mandated corporate social responsibility disclosure system and company patents. According to the two opposite hypotheses of the information hypothesis and reputation hypothesis, the results show that the number of patents of companies surveyed has increased significantly after the implement of the policy of mandatory CSR disclosure. Additionally, after company’s patents are separated into invention type patents and utility models, industrial design (non-invention type) patents, invention type patents significantly increase in comparison. This means that the information hypothesis has been supported more. CSR disclosure can effectively alleviate the information asymmetry existed in the internal of the enterprise, increase shareholders’ confidence, and reduce the problems of corporate financial restrictions. Several robustness tests have proved that the model and conclusions are both steady. This may provide a reference for the government to improve the mandatory disclosure policy further and help improve the capital market development in China.

    Modern Portfolio Theory: analysis and implication

    The Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) from quantitative theory explains the correct of the logic of investment which isn’t put all your eggs in one basket. Although this theory is published in 1952, investors are still using this theory nowadays. Therefore, this paper is researching why this theory is enduring, whether it can provide some insights into the behavior of investors, and what shortcomings can be solved by using other derivative theories based on this theory. The most significant observation of this study can be divided into two parts. Firstly, many limitations of MPT can be improved by Goal-based investing and Post-modern portfolio theory. Secondly, this theory can help the investor to choose the optimal portfolio theory depending on their attitude and goal when they chose the portfolio. There is a strong need for a novel approach, especially for concluding extra costs when investors calculate the risk-adjusted returns. After that, this theory is using historical data to calculate the expected data. Those limitations will influence the choice of optimal portfolio theory.

    Research on carbon emissions of production-consumption sectors under the background of "Double Carbon" ——Take Beijing as an example

    With the development of the Green and Low-carbon, Beijing has set a model for other provinces and cities in carbon emissions reduction, and it will help achieve the goal of carbon peaking rapidly. This paper studies various influencing factors of carbon emissions from both production and consumption by improving the Kaya identity. Through analyzing productive and consumptive CO2 emissions of Beijing with LMDI technology, this paper finds that: (1) For the production sectors in Beijing, the total carbon emissions exhibited a downward trend, and the energy intensity factor was the foremost factor to restrain the increase of carbon emissions, while the restraining effects of energy structure factors and industrial structure factors were limited, and the total production promoted emissions to increase significantly. (2) For the living sectors in Beijing, the total carbon emissions first increased and then decreased, and the urban and rural structural factor played a weak inhibitory role in the increase of CO2. The population and energy intensity were significantly promoted the increase of it. Therefore, this paper proposes to continue to adjust the structure of industry and urban, develop clear energy and make full use of energy, so as to realize the "dual-carbon" goal earlier.

    This paper discusses the economic consequences of the Russian- Ukraine war and mainly focuses on the economic impact it brings to Europe. On 24 February, Vladimir Putin launched an unproved invasion of Ukraine. The West responded by unleashing a series of sanctions to weaken the power of Putin’s war machine, but Russia responded with retaliatory measures. The war has caused supply chain disruption and hiked energy and food prices. Oil and gas prices both hiked to a record high. The Euro Area experienced an 8.1% inflation rate. The European Central Bank considered hiking interest rates for the first time in more than 11 years as a result of the strong inflation. The war increases volatility in the conventional stock market. Stock prices plunged significantly on the day of the invasion, but the market recovered shortly as the sanctions against Russia were imposed. As the war created enormous economic uncertainty and increased inflation across Europe, governments should devise effective policies to reduce the inflationary pressure and seek alternative energy sources to reduce the dependence on Russian energy exports.

    Can Carbon Emission Trading Policy Improve the Emission Performance? Evidence From China

    The carbon emission trading system (ETS) has become one of the most crucial environmental regulations for emission mitigation and energy conservation in China. This thesis uses the difference-in-difference (DID) model to analyze the causal influence of China's ETS on carbon emission performance. The results show that the implementation of the ETS is an effective way to mitigate carbon intensity and total carbon dioxide emissions (12%), thus promoting carbon emission reductions. In contrast, economic development, energy intensity and population size hindered the carbon reduction process, while industrial structure had no significant impact on carbon reduction. Further PSM-DID models confirmed the reliability of the above conclusions. Based on these conclusions, this study provides inspiration and suggestions for the implementation of the nationwide ETS in the new stage of environmental governance.

    Marketing Strategy Research in the Furniture: Case Study from IKEA

    IKEA furniture is assembled like a giant Lego block, and foods such as hot dogs and ice cream cones are both delicious and inexpensive. On the market, there is no comparable store. It is noteworthy that IKEA is the first place that most people think of when they need furniture, but there are no other options available. This raises the research question of why IKEA’s marketing strategy is successful. IKEA’s success can be measured in three ways: the 4ps strategy, experiential marketing, and scene marketing. IKEA’s structure comprises the 4p’s: product, price, promotion, and placement. The success of IKEA’s marketing strategy doesn’t only depend on the 4P theory. In addition, the scene marketing strategy enables individuals to immerse themselves in the scenarios that IKEA creates for its customers, heightening their senses, touching, seeing, and so on. Then, using the experiential marketing strategy, IKEA lets people try out the benefits of its products. As a consequence, IKEA’s sales increased, and it became prosperous. Ikea’s success depends on this marketing. These strategies would not have made IKEA as successful if used alone. These marketing strategies work together to make IKEA profitable.

    Marketing Strategy of Livestreaming Business: Case Study of Taobao’s Livestreaming Business

    Livestream has been a major and profitable marketing model for Taobao, one of the biggest e-commerce platforms in China, since 2016. An increasing number of business owners, celebrities, or influencers jump into this business looking for business opportunities. There are a lot of benefits of live streaming, for instance, real-time engagement with the consumers to build a long-term relationship with them, creating an immersive shopping experience for consumers, and effectively utilizing consumers’ herd mentality to drive sales during shopping festivals. However, some problems have emerged. The platform lacks comprehensive and binding regulations to supervise business owners’ behaviors. Besides, the income gap between macro-anchors and micro-anchors is wide. Also, the live content of different anchors is not heterogeneous enough to retain consumers’ attention. Improving strategies like increasing regulations, developing reward mechanisms to support micro-anchors’ business, and encouraging anchors to create and keep personalities can mitigate the problems.

    An Analysis of the Involution of Finance College Students

    More and more finance undergraduates cannot find a job, and even some graduate students are facing difficulties in finding a job. “Involution” which is used to describe any walk of life or everyone who tries desperately to improve himself or herself to increase his or her advantage over others. The industry of finance has a very low threshold for domestic universities, and every university and even the junior college has finance as a major. Therefore, the threshold of financial learning is very low, but the threshold of financial industry is very high, which requires people's professional ability, communication ability and emotional intelligence. As a result, many undergraduates do not meet the requirements of various financial jobs, which leads to the phenomenon of unemployment after graduation. This paper finds out that because of the low threshold of finance and people's limited understanding of finance, they do not know whether they are suitable for this major, so they can make their resume look gorgeous through various ways in the later stage.

    Identifying Financial Report Fraud of U.S. Listed Chinese Companies

    A key feature of publicly listed companies all over the world is that the people who own the company, its investors, do not typically participate in the day-to-day management of the company. This separation of ownership and control can become a problem when investors and management have different objectives. Disclosure is a primary means through which investors can understand what managers are doing and ensure that managers serve the objectives of the company’s owners. However, since management is responsible for preparing the company’s financial statements, they could misreport the numbers to mislead investors. Previous research showed managers had discretion in manipulating the numbers in the financial report. In this paper, we collected samples of Chinese companies listed in the United States, such as Luckin Coffee, and assessed whether there were any signs that might help investors identify fraud earlier than they were discovered, and what mechanisms prevented managers from doing so.

    The Theory of Asset Pricing

    This assignment explores the theory of asset pricing and mainly focuses on the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). Also, the assignment addresses the CAPM as a model that explains how the projected return on an asset is equivalent to the risk-free rate of return plus a risk premium that is proportionate to the asset's beta. The assignment further evaluates the advantages of the model and explains comprehensively some of the drawbacks that make the model criticized by most researchers. Therefore, criticizing the model led to the rise of other efficient asset pricing models. Hence one of the popular alternative models of the CAPM is the Fama-French model, which accounts for value and size risks to the market risk factor. Lastly, the assignment has analyzed the traditional and non-traditional factors that affect the CAPM.

    Is Bitcoin the 'Digit Gold'——A Potential Safe-haven Asset?

    In this paper, we examine whether bitcoin has the potential to become safe-haven asset that can rival gold in the future. We observed, compared and analyzed and the performance of bitcoin and gold in face of a falling market and inflation pressure. We can see if investors can rely on bitcoin to reduce risk exposure significantly through empirical tests. At the end of our research, we found that bitcoin did not perform as well as gold did when faced with market crash and inflation. Therefore, we conclude that bitcoin does not yet show the potential to possess risk-proof merits as gold, the traditional high-quality hedge asset. Gold would probably remain the preferred hedge asset against cryptocurrency for now.

    The Portfolio Analysis in Hong Kong Stocks

    Maximizing returns is always people’s investment goal. Stocks have some hedging capabilities, and their prices also fluctuate widely, making them popular in-vestments for investors. As a result, Stock prices have fluctuated wildly, leading to uncertain investments and uncertain returns. To compute and analyze the maximum returns of stocks in Hong Kong stocks, this paper takes The Hang Seng index, an important indicator of Hong Kong stock market prices as the scene. We calculate the variance of these stocks using the Fama experiment. And We examined the normal distribution and i.i.d. of the data. To test whether the hypothesis of independence and the same distribution in the data is reasonable, and then con-duct an ACF test on the five selected stocks to observe their time-series stability. Then, this paper uses Markowitz's effective frontier decision-making process to simulate stock trading and use the Sharp ratio risk analysis to select mid-risk and high-yield portfolios. The results show that: The weight of the five stocks shows an approximate trend with their average return rate. The larger the average value is, the larger the investment proportion will be. stock investment with low-risk accounts for a relatively high proportion, while stock investment with high-risk accounts for a relatively small proportion. Among the selected several representative stocks, Techtronic Industries and Long for Group have more investment value, while the investment value of bank stocks is on the low side.

    Research of the development of Green Central Bank Digital Currency, CBDC

    The idea of a green central bank digital currency (CBDC) has been mentioned by some institutions such as the Congress of the United States and private companies, but it has not been explained. It is intuitive that this concept refers to a way of issuing or using CBDCs by taking the environment into consideration. In this research, it is explored a way that this could work by limiting the CBDC issuance to the total renewable energy production. The paper shows a list of the 40 countries that produce the most renewable energy and compares it with a well-established economic standard, the Total Reserves of Central Banks. For 2018, it was found a correlation among the percentage of the total energy that is produced with green sources and the percentage that could be backed by international reserves if it were the same thing. This correlation is presented as a patron that can be use by Central Banks in order to take environment in to consideration and to calculate how much of a CBDC can be issued by central banks as a standard.

    The Predictive Power of Implied Volatility and GARCH Forecasted Volatility During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Evidence from China’s Stock Market

    In this study, we explore how the performance of several popular historical and forward-looking forecasting measures for equity index volatility is affected by the COVID-19 related uncertainty. Our findings present convincing evidence for the advantages of implied volatility in predicting future volatility in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our results also reveal that GARCH forecasted volatility contains unique information about market risk, but the information efficiency is sensitive to economic uncertainty. Therefore, the empirical evidence from China’s stock market is supportive of a popular theoretical view that GARCH and implied volatility capture different aspects of market uncertainty and an appropriate combination of both measures may perform best in terms of information efficiency. This article contributes to the stream of post‐COVID‐19 literature on its impact on financial markets and provides useful implications for financial practitioners.

    The Effects of Central Environmental Supervision and Inspection on the Green Innovation of Industrial Firms in China

    Environmental problems such as poor air quality has recently drawn great attention in China. China’s government has proposed plenty of regulations to alleviate these problems. Central environmental supervision and inspection (CESI), a kind of campaign-style command-and-control regulation, started in 2016 and is still underway. By dispatching central inspectors in groups to provinces in batches, CESI is much stronger and more direct than other command-and-control regulations in the past. There are many papers about CESI, but few examine the relation between it and green innovation from the micro-firm perspective. Since firms’ green innovation (FGI) is a vital driver of the green transformation, the author examines whether and how the first round of CESI influenced the industrial FGI in this paper, based on Time-Varying Difference-in-differences (TDID) model and Mediation Effect model. The 2011-2019 panel data of industrial firms that are listed in A-share market is used, and it is selected from China Stock Market and Accounting Research (CSMAR) database. Besides, FGI is measured by the quantity of green patents, including green utility and invention patents. Unfortunately, the results of both descriptive and empirical analysis show that CESI neg-actively affected FGI partly because the financial condition of firms worsened due to CESI. Moreover, according to heterogeneity analysis, the policy effect is still weak on firms in underdeveloped cities. The author offers some suggestions for improving relevant policies based on these findings.

    Research on the Impact of Establishment of China’s FTA on Regional Economic Development

    With the gradual improvement of the epidemic, the development of FTAs is very promising, so relying on FTAs to achieve local and regional economic growth is a very interesting way of economic growth. At the same time, because most of the literature studying the development of FTAs focus on institutional innovation and the country’s overall economic growth, the country’s economic development process can also be characterized by a widening gap between rich and poor and serious and serious polarization. However, in the development process of a coun-try, if only the overall economic development is considered and the regional eco-nomic growth is neglected, then the national economy might face the problems such as the growing gap between rich and poor and the increasing polarization. Therefore, this paper wants to study the relationship between the development of FTAs and regional economic development. Using survey method and case study, this paper firstly presents the problems of the current situation of FTAs and the limitations of institutional innovation for the article. Then this paper solves the re-lated doubts by studying enterprises’ innovative products and innovative trade strategies in five FTAs, concluding that enterprise innovation is the focus of FTA development.

    Time Series Analyze for Chinese Total Output

    Adopting times series model to directly forecast the Chinese total output. The framework I present circumvents the simple linear models and allow me to forecast the next month trade surplus directly. Instead of doing simple linear regression, I use ARIMA model selection to construct the optimal predict function. The dataset we used is after differenced once, since the original data is not stationary enough. There are no simple regression models to compare since other scholars had shown the performance of linear regression is not well. After doing ACF, PACF, EACF and BIC to draw two alternative ARIMA model, I use maximum likelihood and least square methods to estimate the parameters. Then, I obtain the predicted value of Chinese total output surplus of April 2022, and make comparisons with the true value. The model I selected gives the wrong trend, but the true value is in the significant level. For further studies, times series analysis can add more samples into dataset and take machine learning into consideration to draw a more precious prediction.

    The Digital Inclusive Finance and Investment Efficiency of Enterprises: Evidence from Perspective of Financialization

    Digital inclusive finance, a byproduct of traditional banking and digital technology, has a substantial effect on the financial standing of businesses. Using information from Chinese A-share listed firms between 2011 and 2018, this paper empirically investigates the connection between the emergence of digital financial inclusion and investment efficiency and financialization of real enterprises, as well as their underlying mechanisms. The results show that digital financial inclusion rises a suppressive effect on the investment efficiency of enterprises. Further, this effect is influenced by other control factors.

    The Impact of Outward FDI on the Employment Skills Structure of Chinese Firms

    Based on the panel data of China's manufacturing public listed firms from 2011 to 2015, this paper examines the impact of Chinese manufacturing enterprises' foreign direct investment on the employment skills structure using the fixed-effect model. We found that firms with OFDI, compared to those domestic firms, tend to reduce their employment of producer and finance employees, increase the employment of sales, technical and unskilled labor; increase the share of technical workers and reduce the proportion of producer, finance, sales, and unskilled workers. Compare to intermittent OFDI, firms with continuous OFDI have more employment of sales and technical personnel. With respect to OFDI host countries, OFDI toward OECD countries has negative effect on non-skill jobs, while toward non-OECD countries has positive effect on skill jobs, such as finance, sale and tech’s job. Using the PSM method to conduct an endogenous test, we find that the key results of OFDI impacts remain robust.

    The Effect of Internet Information Dependence and Land Transfer on Agricultural Production Technical Efficiency of Households

    In this essay, the author studies the relationship between internet information dependence, land transfer, and agricultural production technical efficiency based on the CFPS database, including observations from households from 25 provinces in China. The stochastic frontier approach is adopted to predict the technical efficiency of each household, and then OLS, group regression, and regression under interaction terms are applied, respectively. As a result, leasing land from others and internet information dependence are proven to have a positive impact on technical efficiency, while only in the case that the house owner does not depend on the internet to acquire information, the effect of leasing land from others is significant. Though the interaction term between internet dependence and land transfer is not significantly negative, internet dependence does have a substitution effect on land transfer in terms of improving technical efficiency. The result sheds light on developing countries striving to increase agricultural production efficiency and thus presents possible suggestions for peasants to gain better economic status.

    Study on the Growth Potential of Beijing's Service Trade Export

    In 2020, the comprehensive pilot project of expanding the opening-up of Beijing's service industry has entered a new stage of comprehensive upgrading. It is of great practical significance to study the growth potential source of Beijing's service trade export. Based on the data of 2012-2018 Beijing service export volume and the national service export volume of 2012-2018, this paper uses the Dynamic shift - share model to analyze the dynamic evolution of the export structure and competitiveness of Beijing service trade. The study shows that the overall growth rate of Beijing's service export lags behind the national standard level. All the traditional service export departments have competitive disadvantages and their competitiveness is declining year by year. Among the modern service export departments, financial and insurance service exports have gradually shown competitive advantages since Beijing became the comprehensive pilot to expand the opening up of the service industry in 2015, but other modern service export departments still face the problem of insufficient competitiveness. According to the study, Beijing should promote the digital transformation and upgrading of the traditional service export sector, steadily promote the development of financial service trade, and enhance its professional export capacity.
