    Household Income and Education: An Empirical Research Based on CFPS

    In today's fast-paced economy, an increase in income frequently results in improved educational resources. This paper employs an OLS model to examine the relationship between household income and educational attainment. Experiments were conducted with control variables and other steps using data from the 2018 China Family Panel Survey (CFPS), and the results revealed a positive coefficient on the household income variable, providing preliminary evidence that household income has a positive effect on educational attainment, i.e., an increase in household income results in a significant increase in an individual's educational attainment. The purpose of this study is to analyse income and education levels based on individual and household data, to examine the educational base required for future social development, to lay the groundwork for future research, and to suggest that future policies should pay more attention to the distribution of educational resources, as improvements in household conditions can lead to some households falling short of predicted educational levels due to the unequal distribution of educational resources.

    A Macroprudential Analysis of the 2008 Financial Crisis

    The subprime crisis of the late 2000s had a profound impact on the global financial system, triggering an economic downturn of unprecedented magnitude. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the causes, consequences, and lessons learned from the subprime crisis. The crisis emerged from a combination of factors, including the expansion of subprime mortgage lending, relaxed underwriting standards, and the bursting of the housing bubble. Financial institutions eagerly pursued higher profits by issuing mortgage loans to borrowers with questionable creditworthiness, leading to a surge in loan defaults and foreclosures when the housing market collapsed. The consequences of the crisis were far-reaching. It resulted in widespread financial turmoil, with significant losses incurred by interconnected institutions worldwide. The global economy experienced a severe recession, characterized by high unemployment, declining consumer and investor confidence, and disruptions across various industries. The subprime crisis highlighted critical weaknesses in risk management practices, regulatory oversight, and financial market mechanisms. However, it also served as a catalyst for reform. Policymakers implemented measures to strengthen financial systems, enhance transparency, and improve risk assessment and management. Revisions to regulatory frameworks, stricter stress testing, and reinforced consumer protection measures were among the responses.

    Research on Factors Affecting Consumers' Purchase Intention

    Many factors affect consumers' purchase intentions, such as the price of products, consumers' trust in brands, the quality of branded products, and consumer perception. However, there is no unified theoretical framework to define a specific method to guide consumers to generate purchase intentions for specific brand products. In order to explore this still ambiguous field, this study uses the literature research method and collects and analyzes data on consumers’ willingness to pay for premiums, data on the influence of trust on consumers’ purchase intentions, and brand product quality by looking at four important factors that affect consumers’ purchase intentions. The multiple regression results of several relevant parameters, and the data analysis of multiple factors within the range of consumer perception. The results show that: most consumers can accept a certain degree of a price premium; consumer trust has a great influence on consumer purchase intention and brand product quality is the most influential factor affecting consumers' purchase intention. Finally, multiple subdivided factors in consumer perception showed a high degree of consistency, indicating that consumer perception is not a vague and broad concept.

    Research on the Influencing Factors of Crowdfunding Project Financing Performance: Based on the Six Basic Theories of Finance

    Crowdfunding has emerged as a popular method for financing innovative projects. This study examined the impact of six basic theories of finance on the success of Kickstarter crowdfunding projects in the creative and innova-tion categories, with a funding goal between $10,000 and $1,000,000. Col-lected data on a sample of 5,270 successfully funded projects and used web scraping techniques to extract the relevant information, along with conduct-ing interviews with the project creators to gather additional information. The six basic finance theories were operationalized as time value of money, risk and return, diversification, asset allocation, market efficiency, and behavior-al finance. Used a multiple regression model to analyze the data and found the time value of money, return, diversification, behavioral finance, and as-set allocation have a positive impact on the success of crowdfunding, while risk and market efficiency have a negative impact on the success of crowd-funding, albeit weak. This study contributes to the existing literature on crowdfunding and provides insights for project creators and investors on op-timising crowdfunding success.

    An Empirical Research of Asset Pricing Models in the US Market under COVID-19

    Asset pricing theory has been a key area of research in finance. Since the in-troduction of CAPM, asset pricing models have been very widely used. Re-searchers have discovered many phenomena that cannot be explained by the CAPM model, so they have made many refinements to the asset pricing model and developed various improved versions that can better explain stock returns. The Fama and French three-factor model (FFTFM) and the five-factor model (FFFFM) are two of the most classic and most used asset pricing models. However, as time goes by and financial markets continue to evolve, many scholars have questioned whether traditional asset pricing models are still valid. Starting from the theoretical explanation of CAPM, FFTFM, and FFFFM factor selection, this paper uses the stock market data from 2000 to March 2023 to divide stocks into six portfolios based on their size and book value and conduct regressions according to the above three models respectively to evaluate and compare the recent performance of these models. In addition, this paper also performs separate regressions using data from the novel coronavirus epidemic period in particular to verify the robustness of the model to different market environments. According to the results of this paper, the FFFFM model has the best explanatory power. The role of the factors in the model on stock returns varies with portfolio selec-tion, i.e., firm size and book value, and the market environment also has an impact on the significance of the factors, leaving room for improvement in the model to cope with particular markets, but overall, FFFFM is still effec-tive in explaining present market stock prices.

    The Impact of China's Digital Economy on Carbon Emissions: Evidence from 30 Province’s Data

    China's digital economy is expanding rapidly, and its relationship to carbon emissions is a frequent topic of discussion. To study this topic, we chose 30 provinces, except Tibet, Tai Wan, Hong Kong, and Macau, found data related to the digital economy from China Statistical Yearbook and sorted them to panel data. Based on these provinces' panel data from 2009 to 2019, this essay uses a multiple regression analysis model to examine how the digital economy affects carbon emissions, and divides the 30 provinces' data into two groups by time to study the impact of the digital economy’s development in carbon emissions. In this process, we use STATA. In this paper, we choose software industry investment and the number of Internet access ports as two quotes from the digital economy because the digital economy relies heavily in the Internet. From the model, it is clear that the digital economy can help decrease carbon emissions, and by analyzing the first 5 years’ data from 2009 to 2014 and the data from 2014 to 2019, we found that carbon emissions may rise with the development of digital economy, but as it continues to develop, this effect will disappear. In the end of this paper, based on our findings, we suggest government enlarge the investment in developing digital economy-related industries such as the software industry and the information transmission industry.

    The Research on the Influence of Swarovski Brand Image on Chinese College Students’ Purchase Intention

    With the gradual improvement of China's overall economic level, the per capita disposable income of Chinese families has also increased. This article hopes to take the luxury brand Swarovski as an entry point, and study its influence on Chinese college students' purchase intentions from the perspective of its brand image. And this paper results of the elements of "luxury brand", in order to summarize the influence of the elements of luxury brand on consumers, and provide theoretical guidance for the future research direction of luxury goods. This article is based on the use of a questionnaire survey, the authors found that 68% students positioned Swarovski as a luxury brand, and nearly half of students believe that Swarovski`s strength lies in the variety of styles. This article believes that Swarovski's brand image has a positive correlation with the consumption behavior of university students, that is, the higher the brand image, the more consumption behavior of university students. However, due to the limited economic strength of university students, the premise of the above conclusion is that Swarovski still maintains relatively low prices for the public. At the same time, as a brand, Swarovski should have a reasonable and effective product marketing strategy, but while establishing a brand image, it should also control the quality of its products and let consumers know whether the products they purchase are truly what they want.
