    Foreign Direct Investment and New Quality Productivity of Enterprises

    Now China is opening up to the outside world at a high level. In the process of utilising foreign investment, it is significant to study how foreign direct investment (FDI) affects the formation of new quality productivity of enterprises in China. This paper examines the impact of FDI on new quality productivity of enterprises. Results using financial statement data of A-share listed companies and FDI level data of the cities where the companies are located from 2011 to 2020 show that FDI has a significant promotion effect on the enhancement of new quality productivity of enterprises. Further analysis reveals that the positive effect is generated through the channels of improving enterprise innovation ability and easing enterprise financing constraints, predominantly observed in non-state-owned enterprises. The test for moderating effect shows that a high degree of capital market openness has a significant positive effect on the formation of new quality productivity of enterprises influenced by FDI. The results of this paper provide a theoretical perspective of FDI for further research on the new quality productivity of enterprises.

    Research on the Impact of Financial Agglomeration on Green Investment

    With growing global attention on sustainable environmental development, green investment has become an important tool to drive the green transformation of the economy. Financial agglomeration areas, as capital-intensive regions, provide strong support for green technological innovation and eco-environmental projects. Additionally, the policy inclinations and investment preferences of financial agglomeration areas directly influence the flow and efficiency of green funds, further shaping the path of economic green transformation. Based on this, this paper selects panel data from 31 provinces in China (except Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) over 15 years from 2007 to 2021. Using the fixed effects model, the study examines the impact of financial agglomeration on the scale of green investment and conducts a heterogeneous analysis of the effects in different regions of China, as well as proposing related policy suggestions. The results show that an increase in the level of financial agglomeration can significantly enhance the scale of green investment in a region, especially in the central regions. Compared to the eastern and western regions, the promotion effect of financial agglomeration is more pronounced in the central region.

    The Impact of Capital Structure Adjustment in Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions on the Operating Performance of Chinese Listed Companies: Empirical Study Based on Ridge Regression

    This research uses a sample of 44 Chinese listed companies that announced and completed cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in 2017 and builds a ridge regression model using indicators such as return on equity, asset-liability ratio and equity multiplier from 2016 to 2022 to explore the sustained impact of capital structure adjustments on their operating performance. We found that the adjustment of capital structure after cross-border M&A presents an “N” shaped relationship with operating performance. This indicates that debt financing in cross-border M&A activities can enhance financial leverage and profitability in the short term but may lead to a decline in performance in the medium term due to financial pressure and integration issues. In the long term, as integration completes and debt is gradually repaid, performance is expected to recover and improve. Additionally, we offer suggestions for companies planning to undertake cross-border M&A, advising careful management of liquidity and economies of scale, optimization of debt financing strategies and ensuring the stability of performance from a long-term perspective. This research not only fills the gap in the existing literature on the impact of capital structure adjustments on operating performance in cross-border M&A but also provides empirical evidence for companies to formulate scientifically reasonable cross-border merger and acquisition strategies.

    Effect of Companies’ Senior Personnel Gender Differences on Company Capital Structure

    Previous researches have analyzed the effect of gender diversity toward financial performance toward the companies. This article aims to analyze the effect of gender situation toward capital structure on the whole A shares companies. The data mainly contain gender ratio of senior executives, gender of board of directors, firm size, industries classification, number of people on board, and of total remuneration of the top three directors. The previous two variables are the core explaining variable. The period is from 2010 to 2019 and the frequency is yearly. The OLS pooled regression and fixed effect model are chosen to analyzed. The results are not totally consistent with previous research suggesting the increase of female on the board, that is, increase gender diversity would definitely improve capital structure. The female board of directors will indeed make less debt financing compared with male board of directors. However, the female ratio in the senior executives is usually positively related with the D/E ratio. The possible reason is the overall conservative attitude of female can help them avoid overconfidence bias when using debt financing, and thus loan less debt and make the D/E be lower. However, on the other hands, it also makes female be too afraid of the lack of cash flow and may make more loan. Other parts of the results focusing on the control variable are consistent with previous researches and can be explained by classical financial theory.

    Analysis of Labor Relations in Private Enterprises —— A Three-party Game Based on Overtime Work

    At present, China has successively introduced multiple laws and regulations to prevent employees from being forced to work overtime. However, this situation is still serious in private enterprises, which has led to gradually tense labor relations. Starting from the issue of overtime, this article constructs a game model between government regulatory departments, enterprises, and employees, explores the impact of government regulation on the labor management relationship of private enterprises, and uses evolutionary games to analyze the stability of the strategies of the three parties. The result shows that there is a stable equilibrium solution in the tripartite game: private enterprises arrange employees to work overtime normally, employees take the initiative to work overtime, and the government's project management department strictly supervises them. Among them, strict supervision by labor supervision agencies plays an important role in balancing labor management relations, therefore, certain incentive measures should be given to labor supervision agencies to ensure their strict supervision; Private enterprises should strictly abide by market order, proactively reduce the burden on employees, and avoid forcing employees to work overtime excessively; Employees should maintain a good work attitude and promote the development of common interests with private enterprises.

    Comparative Analysis of Deliverable and Non-Deliverable Contracts in the Hong Kong Trading Market - Taking RMB as an Example

    NDFs are over-the-counter traded foreign exchange derivative products. The settlement of an NDF contract does not involve the delivery of the underlying currency pair. Instead, it involves a net payment in a convertible currency (usually the US dollar), which is proportional to the difference between the agreed forward exchange rate and the subsequently realized spot fixing. Hong Kong's geopolitical location as an outlet that connects mainland China to the world gives it an essential role in researching CNY's international features Hong Kong's trading market serves as a crucial link for the expansion of RMB usage, with the resulting shifts in positions supporting the interpretation of the role of RMB in the process of globalization of the currency, as well as the interpretation of financial markets. This study examines how the Hong Kong market serves as a critical hub for the currency's global integration through its trading of RMB, and focuses on the interplay between market regulations, economic policies, and the intricate balance of supply and demand affecting deliverable (CNY and CNH) and non-deliverable forward (NDF) contracts. The research findings reveal that the examination of transaction data from Hong Kong's commodity exchange demonstrates a complicated interconnection between deliverable (CNY and CNH) and non-deliverable forward (NDF) contracts. This intricate relationship highlights the Chinese Yuan's (RMB) fluctuating role in the market, influenced by factors such as market sentiment, regulatory changes, and economic conditions. In essence, the RMB's trading volumes and value in this setting reflect its sensitivity to both domestic and international market shifts.

    Time Series Stock Price Forecasting Based on Genetic Algorithm (GA)-Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM) Optimization

    In this paper, a time series algorithm based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM) optimization is used to forecast stock prices effectively, taking into account the trend of the big data era. The data are first analyzed by descriptive statistics, and then the model is built and trained and tested on the dataset. After optimization and adjustment, the mean absolute error (MAE) of the model gradually decreases from 0.11 to 0.01 and tends to be stable, indicating that the model prediction effect is gradually close to the real value. The results on the test set show that the time series algorithm optimized based on Genetic Algorithm (GA)-Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM) is able to accurately predict the stock prices, and is highly consistent with the actual price trends and values, with strong generalization ability. The MAE on the test set is 2.41, the MSE is 9.84, the RMSE is 3.13, and the R2 is 0.87. This research result not only provides a novel stock price prediction method, but also provides a useful reference for financial market analysis using computer technology and big data.
