    Interpreting the Post-Epidemic Banking Sector from a Game Theory Perspective — Using Silicon Valley Bank as an Example

    Overview of the trend in the banking industry after the epidemic, regarding the rise of digital banking (neobanking) and customers’ investment behavior — a low-risk portfolio is what most people prefer. The trend of moving business from bank branches to online is a remarkable evolution during COVID-19 and is likely to be the future operation mode of the banking industry. From the general view of the banking industry to the specific bank, a case study of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) is employed to explain the relationship between game theory and bank run. This paper focuses on identifying the failure of SVB through the discussion of economic aspects such as fund rate hikes and applying game theory and higher-order beliefs to SVB’s case. It finds out that the unique equilibrium for players is a bank run, which needs sound policy and tangible action from authorities to reduce its negative impact on customers and other financial institutions. SVB’s bankruptcy does not trigger another major financial crisis, but the severity of the bank run still needs to be taken seriously.

    Study on Brand Management of Fashion Brands

    Amidst the backdrop of swift economic progression and surging consumption rates, the global goods market is witnessing heightened brand competition. This evolving scenario has rendered domestic fashion brands particularly susceptible to various external adversities. Prominent among these challenges are misconceptions in brand management characterized by inadequate market positioning, diminished market share, nascent brand imagery, evolving marketing channels, and stagnation in social marketing innovation. To traverse this intricate environment, businesses must champion a forward-leaning stance, assimilate insights from seasoned brand management practices, and perpetually refine their branding techniques. This deliberate nurturing aims to bolster and expand their brand equity. In light of these observations, this paper articulates multiple strategies to amplify brand management, encompassing the amplification of consumer desires, recalibration of fashion marketing paradigms, in-depth consumer behavior insights, nuanced focus on marketing touchpoints, adoption of holistic multimedia marketing avenues, and harnessing the potential of fashion communication ecosystems. This synthesis is envisioned to serve as a compass for marketing aficionados, equipping enterprises to carve a distinctive niche in a saturated market, thereby charting a trajectory for resilient growth.

    Research on Anchoring Effect

    A psychological phenomena is the anchoring effect. It alludes to the idea of a person’s judgment or choice being influenced by an otherwise unrelated reference point or “anchor.” Once the anchor’s value is determined in numerical anchoring, the person’s following arguments, estimates, etc., may differ from what they would have been without the anchor. Traditional economics holds that people make rational decisions and are not distracted by meaningless numbers. The “anchoring effect” discovered by Daniel-Kahneman-and-Amos-Tversky is a very typical psychological bias, and it is a rejection of the assumption of a “rational person.” The anchoring effect refers to the fact that when people need to evaluate an event, they will use some specific value as an initial reference value, and this initial reference value is like an anchor that restricts the evaluation result.

    The Optimization of the Path to Energy Transformation in Areas of Weak New Energy Resources under the Double Carbon Background ---Taking Anhui Province of China as an Example

    “Double Carbon” is the abbreviation for emission peak and carbon neutrality. In September 2020, China proposed to strive to achieve an "emission peak" by 2030 and "carbon neutrality" by 2060. In this context, the process of energy transformation and new energy substitution is accelerating. And those areas with weak new energy resources urgently need to solve the transformation problems caused by limited local resources. Taking Anhui Province of China as an example, this essay studies the trend of energy development and changes, and compares Anhui with Jiangxi Province, which shares similar resource endowments, in order to explore energy transformation plans that are in line with provincially local conditions. The consumption of typical fossil fuels and the development conditions of new energy sources in Anhui Province are analyzed by using the methods of statistical and qualitative analysis. Based on the experience of transformation in neighboring Jiangxi Province and fully considering the functional orientation of Anhui Province in energy and economic fields in East China, this paper concludes that in Anhui Province, the efficient and safe utilization of local new energy resources should be given priority, along with actively promoting the technology of new energy generation and storage. Anhui Province should also strive to transfer existing rich new energy resources and promote cooperation in new energy supply with other provinces to improve the capability of energy guarantee, which may inject new impetus into economic development.

    The Impact of COVID-19 on Firm’s Financial Distress: Evidence from China

    COVID-19 has a significant influence on firm’s financial distress. How does COVID-19 influence firms’ short-term financial conditions and long-term development in China, and whether and to what extent will their financial leverage deviate from the original path? Can financing support from government as a bailout policy alleviate the financial distress caused by the epidemic? In order to exam my hypotheses, I did a series of exams. The sample includes all publicly listed Chinese firms from 2017 to 2022. Results show that the outbreak of Covid-19 makes firms more difficult to borrow money. H1 is supported. However, the interaction item has no corresponding data observation value. It is predicted to be positive, which means the politically connected firms are more likely to offset the bad influence of the external environment because they can access valuable financial resource easily than firms without political connections. It is not consistent with H2. The study not only extends the growing literature exploring the deep influence of the Covid-19 pandemic on business, but also has implications for policymakers.

    Research on the Synthesis of Hong Kong NFT Index Using Principal Component Analysis and Index Prediction Based on LSTM-Modified ARMA-GARCH Model

    With the advent of the Web3.0 era, virtual assets have gained prominence in individuals’ asset portfolios, making Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) increasingly significant within the financial trading landscape. To address the issue of multicollinearity in regression analysis, this paper employs Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to perform dimensionality reduction on five correlated foundational sectors. Moreover, to enhance the accuracy and reliability of predictive outcomes, the study combines the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model with the Autoregressive Moving Average-Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ARMA-GARCH) model. Through the application of these methods and practical implementation, the study forecasts the NFT index of the Hong Kong stock market for the next 30 days. This forecasting of return volatility contributes vital insights for investment decision-making. The research complements and offers application recommendations in financial innovation, deepening, and regulation. By devising novel products and tools to meet investor demands, providing risk management and investment opportunities, the model’s predictive outcomes can be utilized in regulatory and risk management strategies within the national financial trading market. This study provides regulatory guidance, policy formulation insights, and envisions further refinements of the research methodology by integrating information shock effects.

    A Review of the Applicability of Pricing Models in the Stock Market

    The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) model has always been the core theory of asset pricing and is widely used in the world as a finance tool in the securities market, but it is not fully effective for the economic market due to the current state of development in some countries.

    The Research of Financial Fraud and Regulatory Countermeasures to the Listed Companies Based on Game Theory

    Accounting Fraud, as immoral behavior which violates the law, may cause severe damage to economic and market trust. The listed companies may acquire short term benefits through accounting fraud; therefore, the government regulatory authority should set up severer policy to prevent and avoid this behavior from happening. This review article aims to analyze the existing problem of accounting fraud, games between listed companies and regulatory authorities based on game theory, and the mechanism that caused accounting fraud to happen. The articles have found that the behavior of accounting fraud may confuse the investors by its invalid financial report, which often results in wrong investment decisions. If the accounting fraud has been revealed and known by the public, the listed company’s share price will plummet, overall market confidence will suffer, and the entire economic system and financial stability will also be affected. By damaging the financial stability and decreasing the overall investments, accounting fraud handicaps economic growth by its possible consequence of decreasing the economic activity, capital expenditures, and the employment opportunities. However, the game theory research on the games between listed companies and regulatory authorities may offer supervisory measures to reduce and prevent the occurrence of financial fraud.
