    Explore China-Africa Relations Through China-Africa Trade Exchanges

    In recent years, with the deepening of economic globalization, the trade between China and African countries has become increasingly close. The trade between China and Africa has brought economic growth to China and African countries, consolidated the friendly relations between the two sides, and also led to some frictions and disputes. The economic and trade cooperation between China and African countries began as early as around the 1950s. On May 30,1956, Egypt and China established diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level. It was the first country in Africa to establish diplomatic relations with China, opening a new chapter in China-Africa relations. Since then, China has maintained increasingly close ties with African countries and has established diplomatic relations with more African countries. On this basis, China and African countries have also gradually started economic and trade cooperation. China has helped many African countries to carry out infrastructure construction, promoted the economic development of African countries, and also helped them to enhance their international status to a certain extent. The economic and trade relations between China and East African countries are generally improving, but there are still many problems and instability. Only by carrying out trade in the right way can the friendly relations between China and African countries be maintained.

    Analysis of the Tactics of NBA Pricing Tickets

    Despite the effects of the economic crisis, the United States has maintained its position as a global leader in the innovation of professional sports development, drawing attention to the progress of its professional stadiums. The ultimate goal of stadium marketing is to attract more spectators to enter the stadium to watch the game and bring more economic income through the sale of tickets, and the audience needs to buy corresponding tickets to enter the stadium to watch the game according to their own needs, so that the price of tickets can have interactions between the audience and the stadium. This study combines a literature review and critical analysis to investigate NBA ticket pricing. The paper confirms that, in general, ticket prices go up as proximity to the action on the field increases, and that teams based in large basketball markets charge more than those in smaller markets.

    The Impacts of Online Reviews on Consumers’ Purchase Intention of Video Game Items in China

    As an important vehicle for audiences to gain information about video game items, online reviews have been wildly leveraged by game developers to conduct influencer marketing to promote game items in China. However, the commercial nature of sponsorship could threaten the perceived trustworthiness of influencers and online reviews. To achieve this, a valid sample of 289 Chinese game players was collected through the questionnaire survey, and experimental research with a between-subject design was conducted to compare the purchase intention of video game items in different consumer groups that were exposed to three types of reviews. The study’s key finding is that sponsored influencer reviews will lead to lower consumer purchase intentions, compared to both user-generated reviews and influencer reviews.

    Unemployment in the United States—Economic Inequality in the Context of Industrial-technological Upgrading and Outsourcing in the United States Since the 1990s

    There is significant concern that industrial-technological upgrading and outsourcing in the United States have led to increased economic inequality since the 1990s. In the fourth Industrial Revolution, computerization, automation, and artificial intelligence allowed American companies to preserve their technological core competencies and outsource non-core activities to foreign countries. This paper aims to provide the classical vocabulary on this topic, an analysis of the U.S.’s industrial-technological upgrading and outsourcing circumstances, and an explanation of their influence on the widening economic gap since the 1990s. This paper found that the three trends share a synchronous and reinforcing relationship, which can find support in Bruno Latour’s actor-network theory. Businesses that engaged in outsourcing activities benefited financially. While low-skilled and high-skilled workers are both at risk of losing their jobs because of improved technology, the former is more vulnerable. Industrial-technological upgrading facilitates outsourcing, and outsourcing facilitates the former in return. They both contribute to a widening economic gap. This paper was written when many questions arose on the subject. It connects industrial-technological upgrading with outsourcing, which previous research failed to do.

    The Impact Automated Market Makers on Stock Prices and Returns

    Examining the impact Automated market makers have on stock prices and returns is the focus of this study. Automated market makers are state-of-the-art financial instruments that facilitate the bilateral trade of digital assets in the DeFi industry. Market participants trade against pools of liquidity rather than individual buyers and sellers. Market returns, price changes, and liquidity levels will be analyzed both before and after the introduction of automated market makers. We’ll take a look at how automated market makers affect transaction costs, liquidity, and trading volume. Major stock markets that employ automated market makers will be surveyed for data collection and analysis. The effect of liquidity ratios on market performance will be studied statistically. Understanding the impact Automated market makers have on market returns and pricing is critical for traders, regulators, and researchers. Improved investment returns and the development of decentralized financial ecosystems may result from incorporating the results into market structure and liquidity. The implementation of automated market makers on centralized stock exchanges has been aimed at enhancing market efficiency. This research investigates the impact of automated market makers on stock prices and returns. Using monthly market returns from the closing index and equity price data, the study examines the effects before and after the implementation of automation. The study utilizes a longitudinal research design, analyzing listed firms with data spanning the study period. The findings contribute to the understanding of the influence of automated market makers on stock prices and returns, particularly in regions with limited literature on the subject.

    Research on the Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test for Predicting Stock Prices and Returns

    With the continuous accumulation of theoretical knowledge and progressive applied research, analyzing financial time series data gradually becomes everlasting research in modern days. The simpler Dickey-Fuller originally is a test commonly used in econo-metrics and finance to test the stationarity of financial time series data. Thereafter, simpler Dickey-Fuller is eventually extended to the augmented Dickey-Fuller test to examine the stationarity of financial time series data such as stock prices, returns, and so on. This paper mainly focuses on the utilization of the augment Dickey-Fuller test and tests the stationarity of stock prices and returns for Nike, and Amazon. Both the stock price which is non-stationary, and the return, which is stationary, illustrate that these two companies are market-efficient. Additionally, the paper provides plots of stock prices and returns for these two companies by executing Python code. The results from the augment Dickey-Fuller test not only verify the characteristics of these plots but also indicate that the augment Dickey-Fuller test is useful to predict stock price and return.

    The Application of the Markowitz Model for Portfolio Optimization in High-End Companies

    This study investigates the application of the Markowitz Model in optimizing portfolios of high-end companies. By analyzing a 20-year dataset spanning 2001 to 2021, this paper explores the construction of efficient and minimum variance frontiers and their performance compared to the index model and the naive portfolio approach. The findings highlight the limitations of relying solely on historical data, as past performance may not accurately predict future outcomes due to evolving market conditions and company-specific factors. Additionally, the study emphasizes the need for incorporating practical factors such as transaction costs and liquidity constraints into the evaluation of portfolio optimization models. Furthermore, the study acknowledges the limitations of its focus on certain companies, recognizing that findings may not be directly applicable to other regions and markets with differing economic, regulatory, and industry dynamics. While the Markowitz Model offers a sophisticated framework for portfolio optimization, it is important to consider these limitations and conduct further research to enhance its effectiveness in diverse investment contexts.

    Analysis of Walmart's Marketing Strategy Based on STP Theory

    Walmart is a retail industry leader, and its growth and success have given the company a measure of reference significance. Analyzing the retail industry's current market condition, resolving the challenge, and providing strategic reference for other businesses may all be accomplished by studying Walmart's approach to marketing. This study examines the following aspects of Walmart's marketing strategy through literature review and analysis method: market segmentation, market target, and market positioning, with an eye on the theory underlying each of them. The research concluded that Walmart used population, geography, and the purchasing power of different consumer groups to divide the market into distinct segments, and that the company used both a generic marketing strategy and a more targeted marketing strategy to meet customer demand for its low prices and convenient locations. Walmart has made tactical tweaks to the aforementioned marketing methods to account for the ever-shifting nature of the market. In order to pursue the sustainable development of businesses, the paper adopts a more complex and humanized segmentation principle, modifies the market target strategy and market positioning, and upgrades the positioning to energy conservation and environmental protection.

    Impact of the Sino-US Trade War on Factor Endowment in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area: A Perspective from Factor Endowment Theory

    This study chooses the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as the research object to explore the impact of Sino-US trade barriers on the factor endowment of the region. Based on the factor endowment theory, this paper proposes a hypothesis, tests collinearity, and establishes a multiple linear regression model. The results show that the trade barriers between China and the U.S. cannot explain the changes in GBA's factor endowments since the fitting degree is low. The correlation test shows the substitution effect between factor endowments. Based on the data analysis results, Sino-US trade barriers did not affect the factor endowment of the GBA. The possible reasons are the trade deflection and the policy that restrict factor mobility.
