    Volatility Spillover Benefits of the Hang Seng Index and Shanghai Composite Index: A Vector Autoregressive (VAR) Model and Granger Causality Test Analysis

    This study aims to explore the volatility spillover benefits between two major stock markets in Hong Kong and Shanghai, namely the Hang Seng Index and the Shanghai Composite Index. Empirical analysis is conducted using a Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model and Granger causality test based on daily return data from 2013 to 2023. The research finds a significant volatility interaction between the Hang Seng Index and the Shanghai Composite Index, which is more pronounced during periods of global economic instability. Impulse response analysis reveals that positive shocks in Hang Seng Index lead to increased volatility in the short term for the Shanghai Composite Index but gradually weaken to a weak negative effect in the long term. Conversely, positive shocks in the Shanghai Composite Index have a short-term inhibitory effect on the Hang Seng Index but transform into a weak promoting effect in the long term. These findings have important implications for investors and policymakers in risk management, forecasting future stock market trends, and capital allocation.

    Maison Margiela Brand Identity Change and the Embodiment of Brand Culture

    In recent years, due to the bad global economic environment caused by the epidemic, many companies are on the verge of bankruptcy, but companies engaged in luxury goods have hardly received too much impact, which is a problem worth studying. Most luxury brands design products that are compelling enough for customers to keep spending. Because every luxury brand has its own long history, special brand style and brand long-term concept. This is crucial for the long-term development of luxury brands. But because of the long history of the luxury market, it is difficult to make some new changes to increase the number of consumers beyond loyal customers. Some brands choose traditional methods, do not carry out large-scale marketing, do not add new customers, choose to continue to sell goods to those loyal customers, and some brands choose to cooperate with other brands to increase awareness and expand the consumer base.

    Improvement of DEVA Model in Valuation Research of Internet Financial Information Service Companies

    With the development of the digital economy and the internet, the internet financial information service industry has shown strong momentum. Different from traditional enterprises, internet financial information service companies possess characteristics of low assets, high risks, and difficulties in measuring non-financial indicators. As a result, traditional valuation methods exhibit inaccuracies in application and require the introduction of non-financial valuation models for validation. Therefore, considering the industry's characteristics from a user perspective, we introduce the Metcalfe valuation model—the DEVA valuation model. Simultaneously, we improve this model and, using Hithink Royalflush Information Network Co., Ltd. as a case study, estimate the value at the evaluation point using both the original DEVA model and the revised new model. Finally, we analyze and compare the differences between the various valuations and Royalflush's total market value at the evaluation point, concluding that the improved DEVA model yields more fair and accurate valuation results.

    The Impact of U.S. Carbon Tariff on China’s Exports and Welfare Based on Empirical Analysis and Game Models

    This paper will begin by formulating an optimal tariff model between China and the U.S., leading us to an equilibrium point. From this vantage point, we will deduce the consequences of U.S. tariffs on China's exports and the ramifications of U.S. carbon tariffs on China's societal welfare. Next, we will develop an economic model considering the existing China-U.S. tariffs and their trading relationship. This model will help determine the influence of U.S. tariffs on China's export volume and societal welfare. In addition, we will compute the impact of U.S. tariffs on China's societal welfare and export to the U.S., factoring in China's carbon emissions per 100 yuan of GDP, and finally, concern the industrial impact of such carbon tariffs. Third, using two distinct game models, we would probe into the viability and possibility of the U.S. levying a carbon tariff on Chinese exports. The evolutionary game models reflect real-world scenarios, which point out that the U.S. will eventually apply a carbon tariff on China. Next, the dynamic game model considers different parties, China’s government and firms, and different factors, environmental costs, and green subsidies. The model provides the circumstances in which the U.S. will levy a carbon tariff, whether China should provide a green subsidy, and whether the company should implement green production technology. Finally, we would discuss potential strategies China might adopt to navigate the challenges of the U.S. carbon tariff and examine the broader implications of such a move.

    Trends and Triggers: Analyzing the Co-Movement of Cryptocurrency and NFT Prices

    This paper aims to explore the complex interrelationships between the prices of cryptocurrency, specifically Ethereum (ETH), and five top Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collections: Bored Ape Yacht Club, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Azuki, Moonbirds, and Otherdeed. Motivated by the intertwining dynamics of these digital assets and the unexplored nature of their interdependencies, this study employs a Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model and utilizes Granger Causality to dissect the multifaceted interactions. The analysis period ranges from April 2021 to January 2023, a critical window of exponential growth and fluctuation in the digital asset market. The results demonstrate a statistically significant impact of ETH prices on NFT collection prices, but not vice versa, revealing the strong dependence of the NFT market on cryptocurrency volatility. Specifically, the research finds that changes in ETH’s value are predictive of shifts in NFT prices, whereas NFT price fluctuations lack predictive power for ETH prices. In conclusion, this research represents an advancement in understanding price dynamics in the rapidly evolving digital economy. By innovatively analyzing the co-movement of cryptocurrencies and NFTs, it not only enriches existing knowledge but also paves the way for further exploration, offering practical insights for diverse stakeholders navigating this exciting, ever-changing field.

    Exploring the Formation Mechanism of Anti-Consumption Behavior of Youth Groups

    With consumerism sweeping the globe today, anti-consumption groups are also gradually rising, and young people, as the main force of consumption and an important participant in anti-consumption, have attracted much attention for their consumption behaviours and consumption psychology. Therefore, from the perspective of anti-consumption theory, this study will explore the behavioural characteristics of anti-consumption behaviours of Chinese youth groups, their motives and psychological motivations under anti-consumption behaviours. Through the combination of semi-structured interviews and participant observation, it can be found that the anti-consumption groups of Chinese youths emphasize on "rational consumption" in their anti-consumption behaviours, and have a strong personal and financial tendency. In terms of the reasons for their behaviours, the motivation is based on personal emotions and economic considerations, but the psychological motivation is for the purpose of enhancing consumer well-being. Therefore, the anti-consumption behaviour of the youth group is mainly formed under the combined effect of personal reality, spiritual needs and social environment, with the social environment being the precondition for anti-consumption behaviour, personal reality being the direct cause, and spiritual needs being the root cause, and anti-consumption behaviour will only arise if these three factors are present at the same time.

    Decision Analysis of Cold Chain Supply Chain Based on a Stochastic Evolution Model

    Accelerating the development of cold chain logistics for agricultural products is not only an objective requirement for the development of agricultural product circulation but also a necessary demand to promote rural revitalization and upgrade agricultural consumption. Addressing the evolutionary problems of cold chain transportation in uncertain environments, this study considers the actual stochastic disturbances in the cold chain supply chain system, introducing Gaussian white noise to reflect the random perturbations experienced during the evolution of the cold chain. A three-party stochastic evolutionary game model is established involving farmers, logistics enterprises, and government regulatory authorities. Based on this model, numerical simulation analysis is conducted to explore the effects of different factors such as the intensity of random disturbances and the loss transfer coefficient on the fluctuation of strategic choices of the entities and the convergence speed to a stable state during evolution. Finally, combining the results of numerical simulation, relevant policies and recommendations are proposed to provide insights and guidance for the development of cold chain logistics in agricultural products.

    Impact of Low-Carbon City Pilot Policies on Regional Green Total Factor Productivity: A Study

    Based on data from 246 prefecture-level cities in China spanning the years 2006 to 2019, this paper employs a multi-temporal double-difference model to empirically examine the effects of low-carbon pilot policies implemented since 2010 on green total factor productivity. Furthermore, the paper conducts a mechanism analysis and heterogeneity analysis to explore the policy’s impact mechanisms and effects on different regions. The study reveals that low-carbon pilot policies have enhanced China’s green total factor productivity. Results from the mechanism analysis indicate that these policies increase green total factor productivity by promoting the agglomeration of productive service industries and the innovation of green technologies, with the mechanism test for manufacturing industry agglomeration showing non-significant effects. Heterogeneity analysis results suggest that the impact of low-carbon pilot policies on the improvement of green total factor productivity is significant in China’s eastern and western regions as well as in non-resource-based cities.
