    The effectiveness of information disclosure under cyber attack

    With the global economy increasingly relying on electronic transactions, more and more companies are suffering from network attacks, which have a certain impact on the future development of their enterprises. I use the information of cyber attacks suffered by Listed Companies in the United States from 2005 to 2019 to analyze whether the cyber attacks will have a short-term impact on the stock prices of the companies under attack, and whether effective information disclosure can help the companies to stop the loss effectively to a certain extent. I find that effective information disclosure can help enterprises reduce the negative impact to a certain extent, and when the relevant information reaches a higher degree of openness and transparency, it can help enterprises go through the crisis more smoothly compared to the enterprises less so.

    Conceptual Analysis of the 3E System Based on New Human Capital Theory

    The contradiction between energy supply and demand, environmental protection, and economic development is becoming more and more obvious. How to coordinate and balance the relations between energy, environment, and economy has become a common concern of scholars. In this context, the Energy-Environment-Economy (3E) system is gradually maturing, and up to now, the 3E system has been widely used in the evaluation of the development of various regions. In order to make the 3E system closer to the real social situation in the application, the measured results have more practical significance. Based on the new human capital theory, this paper summarizes and analyzes the relevant research literature, and discusses the influence of population on the three subsystems of energy, economy, and environment in the 3E system. It is found that population has an impact on each subsystem, among which it is worth noting that the impact of population on the environmental subsystem is diverse and complex, so the current situation of the 3E system is different from the theory. The article examines the impact of population on the 3E system in order to optimize and complement the 3E system.

After analyzing both the interview and survey data. This study found that although workers experienced a moderate improvement in their ratings, social status and customer respect, they also suffered a drastic income loss during the pandemic. Furthermore, this research found that the reasons behind those changes were mainly temporary and unique features of the pandemic. As the pandemic failed to make lasting systemic improvements in Chinese food delivery workers’ living standards, further research is needed to address their daily challenges.

    Research on the Influence Mechanism of Corporate Social Responsibility on Consumer Behavior from the Perspective of Attribution Theory

    Since prior studies did not focus a lot on the influence mechanism of CSR on consumer behavior from the perspective of consumers, this topic needs to be further researched. Based on the attribution theory, this study takes Hongxing Erke as the representative case using grounded theory to explore the influence mechanism of CSR on consumer behavior. This research finds that CSR strength, CSR consistency and brand image are the three main conditions that affect consumers' attribution pattern, and consumers' perception of marketing is the boundary condition that affects consumers' attribution pattern. Attribution can be divided into prosocial and self-interest. Prosocial attribution has a positive effect on consumers' purchase intention, while self-interest attribution has a negative effect on consumers' purchase intention. This study has certain guiding significance for enterprises' marketing strategy and CSR implementation.

    NFT Popularity -- Digital Artwork and Baudrillard's Theory of Consumption Alienation

    With the popularity of 2021 NFT digital art, some concepts that people pay little attention to are gradually coming into people’s view. In the transaction process of digital artworks, the introduction of blockchain technology, the application of Non-Fungible Token (NFT) and other technologies or concepts gradually make it possible to sell a large number of digital products with cultural symbol characteristics. Therefore, the post-modernity era, which is composed of simulacra and new technologies, cultures and social forms, has arrived, as the French scholar Jean Baudrillard said. NFT art formally marks the end of the modern era dominated by production, industrial capitalism. This paper will explore the relationship between consumption alienation and the popularity of digital art through the perspective of consumption alienation put forward by Baudrillard

    The Influence Mechanism of Investor Behavior Deviation on Beta Anomalies in the Perspective of Behavioral Finance

    There are many interference factors in the real capital market, such as the ineffectiveness of the capital asset pricing model, and even the negative correlation between the systematic risk and return. Based on the basic theory of behavioral finance, this paper empirically tests the influence mechanism of investors' behavior deviation on a beta anomaly by taking China's A-share listed companies as samples from 2017 to 2020. It is found that both the strategy of buying the winner and the strategy of contrarian investment are positively related to the beta anomaly, that is, the higher the probability of irrational investors adopting these two strategies, the higher the probability of beta anomaly in the A-share market. The research conclusion provides new empirical evidence for understanding the relationship between investor behavior deviation and beta anomaly and also provides a certain reference for relevant departments to monitor market risk.

    Research on the Countermeasures of Corporate Financing Constraints under the Background of Financial Digital Transformation

    Financial digital transformation is an important means for enterprises to achieve high-quality prosperity under the new development pattern. How to make use of the opportunity of financial digital transformation to relieve the financing constraints is worth pondering. Based on the digital transformation of corporate finance and the current situation of financing capacity in China, this paper puts forward some suggestions on how to deal with the financing constraints in line with China's national conditions. The government should actively introduce policies to promote the development of digital technology and the digital transformation of enterprises while effectively supervising enterprises, third-party data companies and the internet finance industry. The financial market should actively set up and develop small and medium-sized banks and private banks, perfect the enterprise credit system and carry out financial innovation.

    A Sino-US case study of the mobile payment fintech companies

    The popularity of smartphones and mobile networks has led modern people to live in an era of electronic payments and a cashless society. Big tech giants use capital and technology strength in constant penetrating of the financial industry, trying to preempt a first move in mobile finance. By constructing a comparative analysis, this paper attempts to dive into the strategies of recent mobile payment business players both in China and the USA, the newcomers and evolving trend of the competition, key factors that underpin the success of client loyalty, and future competitive advantage and limitations in an economy with multivariate currency media available. The paper concludes that in an economic environment where state-backed and privately issued digital currencies coexist, and the metaverse concept emerges, tech companies should lay out new business forms of mobile payment and seek new roles as a medium that embraces all three types of currencies and continue to benefit the digital economy and society. It is rational to expect that tech tycoons can embrace challenges in the mobile payment marketplace and are ready to thrive in the newly derived metaverse market.

    Trade Globalization and Inequality: Evidence Across Economies

    In recent years, trade globalization has experienced rapid growth, however, within many countries, income gap is also widening. Whether there exists causality needs further investigation. This work uses the panel of 166 countries during 1970-2018 and employs the exogeneous variation of trade globalization in the last period to explore its effect on income inequality. The paper finds trade globalization has a significantly positive effect on income inequality and it is robust when constructing instrument variables, considering long term effects or using changes in the regression. However, the effect varies in economies with different income and development levels, and technology, education, governance, policy and other factors may have important roles. Now, trade globalization is still a promising opportunity for all countries and each should develop discretionary policy to make the most of it.

    Research on Apple’s Motivational Behavior for Knowledge Workers

    With the progress of society, the factors that affect the development and management of enterprises are also more diversified. Among them, the incentive mechanism for employees is a necessary factor to promote the development of enterprises; and knowledge-based employees, as products of the information age, are an important force to promote enterprises. This paper takes Apple as a case study to study the incentive mechanism of knowledge workers. Based on the definitions of motivational behavior and knowledge workers, the article looks for the application of motivational theories in organizational behavior such as Maslow’s Hierarchical Theory of Needs in Apple. By analyzing the research on the incentive mechanism of knowledge workers, it is found that Apple is more controversial in the two aspects of internal incentives and salary fairness for knowledge workers. Therefore, this article concludes based on the research results: Two-factor theory and fairness theory are what Apple needs to pay special attention to and use when conducting incentive behaviors. The significance of this research is to analyze the motivational behavior of the enterprise, improve it with the theory of organizational behavior, and practice it in the future enterprise management, so that the strengths of knowledge workers can promote the growth of the enterprise.

    The Governance Effect of China's Green Finance Policy from an International Perspective

    Most of the previous studies on the utility of green financial policies have focused on provincial data, exploring the differences between different provinces at the same time; few have focused on China as the main body, focusing on the positive effects of national-level green financial policies on the rapid development of the economy and society effect. Based on the macro data of 43 countries, this paper uses the SBM model of undesired output to measure the main characteristics of social and economic development. It estimates the net effect of China's green financial policy through the non-parametric synthetic control method. The study found that China's green financial policy has a significant positive effect on the improvement of factor productivity. Further exploration of the predictor variables shows that China's industrial structure and technical level are relatively low, and the use efficiency of green financial funds and government green finance need to be optimized.
