This paper studies the Markowitz investment theory model. The study examined a portfolio of three companies - the Coca-Cola Company, McDonald’s Corporation, and Apple Inc. This paper calculates the expected returns and the standard deviations of the Coca-Cola Company, McDonald’s Corporation, and Apple Inc., respectively. In this paper, the expected return is used to measure the value of securities, and the standard deviation is used to measure the risk of securities, studying the development of three companies’ stocks. At the same time, the relationship between the Coca-Cola Company, McDonald’s Corporation, and Apple Inc. is discussed using covariance and correlation coefficient. Next, using the Markowitz investment theory model, one can draw the effective frontier of the investment portfolio and prove that all of the risk-return portfolios on the efficient frontier are the portfolios that can get the highest return with the fixed risk. Then, combining the efficient frontier and indifference curve, simulate a rational investor with a special risk appetite and a special expected return, verify the tangential point of the indifference curve, and this tangential point is the optimal proportional portfolio for this specific rational investor of these securities.

The global development imbalance and the varying distribution of development priorities among countries have led to significant disparities in economic levels and standards of living. Different regions and countries exhibit contrasting economic profiles, resulting in varying living standards for their populations. These economic disparities exert a tangible influence on people’s lives, with changes in the economy directly impacting their daily experiences. This paper adopts a case study method, utilizing data on variables such as GDP, employment rates, average property prices, and per capita car ownership, to examine the manifestation of living standards disparities resulting from economic gaps across different regions and countries. The findings emphasize the crucial role of a stable and growing economy as a prerequisite for enhancing people’s living standards, as the economy serves as a tangible reflection of their quality of life. Understanding the causes and theoretical relationship between the economy and its impact on people’s lives is of paramount importance. In conclusion, this paper illustrates that economic disparities between regions and countries significantly affect people’s living standards and underscores the significance of economic stability and growth in improving people’s well-being. The economy and people’s lives are intertwined, exerting reciprocal effects on each other while also imposing mutual constraints.

While metropolises keep expanding with the increasing population in recent decades, the need for housing rises inevitably. This paper aims to find the most explanatory factors for the housing price in California; with 20433 entries of data found in Kaggle, the method of multiple linear regression (MLR) is applied to find the most influential factors. 500 entries in the dataset are chosen randomly and are divided into 2 datasets for training and testing purposes. Models have been developed in R by using the training dataset. After comparing the adjusted R square and variability of the models, the most convincible model will be selected to find out the result of this investigation on the test dataset. After model diagnostics, the result of this analysis is that the regional median income level has a strong positive correlation with the housing price, and it is the most influential factor. Other influential factors will be introduced in the conclusion.

Thailand Foreigners’ Working Management Emergency Decree has stipulated 27 occupations prohibited for foreign workers, substantially differentiating Thai national workers from non-Thai national workers. Restriction on foreigners’ employment not only infringes on the non-Thai workers’ right to choose their employment freely but also violates human rights centered on the principles of equality and non-discrimination. Since employment discrimination has been regulated in relevant international treaties, basic methods for judging discrimination issues are gradually derived. Besides, the research on the Proportionality Principles has continued to deepen in practical and theoretical fields. By combining the Proportionality Principles with the method of judging discrimination in national law, the legitimacy and rationality of legislation can be quantitatively determined. Based on this, it is found that although Thailand’s decree restricting the employment of alien workers is stipulated to protect the employment of Thai nationals, its differential regulation ignores the sub-principle of “necessity of means” in Proportionality Principles. Hence, Thailand’s decree lacks objectivity and rationality, violating the principles of equality and non-discrimination under international law.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread globally, the economic situation of countries has captured significant attention. The resulting inflation has prompted countries to implement monetary policies to stabilize economic activity. As the leading economic power in the world, the United States has a significant influence on the global economy. This study aims to analyze the interest rate hike policy implemented by the United States, its plan and purpose, and its social impacts. Comparative analysis is used to examine the interest rate policies of China and the European Union, two significant trade partners with which the United States has a positive commercial relationship. Also, this paper further analyzes the domestic effects of the trading partners of the interest rate policy. It is found that both the US and the EU have also implemented the policy of interest rate hikes, whereas China has implemented the policy of interest rate cut. The different policy decisions are related to the extent of economic recovery after the pandemic, the political context, and the cultural background of each country.

Financial derivatives play an important role in modern financial markets, and they are widely used in a variety of financial activities, including risk management, investment, and asset pricing. However, with the continuous expansion and increasing complexity of the financial derivatives market, the associated risks are increasing, especially for financial institutions such as Chinese commercial banks. Therefore, the study of risk management in this area has become crucial since it involves the stability of the financial system as well as the security of the national economy. This paper examines the risk management of financial derivatives in Chinese commercial banks and concludes that there are legal, operational, liquidity, credit, and market risks associated with financial derivatives in commercial banks. In order to avoid these risks, Chinese commercial banks should reasonably and clearly limit the authority of traders and establish an effective constraint mechanism. At the same time, a system should be developed to disclose risk information on a large scale, thereby further enhancing the credit monitoring of the financial market and continuously improving the laws and regulations in favor of management.

In behavioral finance, herd bias refers to investors' rational or illogical responses to the market. The irrational approach emphasizes the psychological side of investors, implying that they may ignore an individual's pre-existing ideas and blindly follow the decisions made by other investors. Herd prejudice is common among all sorts of investors, but it tends to lessen over time in the Chinese stock market. The purpose of this study is to see if self-learning among individual investors reduces herd prejudice in the market, as well as to look at the elements that influence self-learning. Data was gathered by sending questionnaires to investors with accounts on the Chinese stock exchange. A partial least squares structural equation modeling analysis revealed that self-learning had a detrimental effect on herd bias. The most important aspect of self-learning is a desire to learn. Interactions with peers and a desire to learn encourage self-learning among investors; however, interactions with investment advisors have no meaningful effect. The impact of investor-peer interactions on self-learning and herd bias lessens as traders acquire experience and investors become more self-aware. In conclusion, this study provides new insights into the reasons for the reduction in herd prejudice in the Chinese stock market. It contains useful references for the scientific creation of investing plans.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing involves considering environmental, social, and governance factors to make socially responsible investment decisions that align with ethical and sustainable values. The widespread adoption of ESG has stimulated academic research in this field, primarily focusing on North America and Europe. However, in the current development of ESG investment in China, "greenwashing" has attracted widespread attention and awaits effective resolution. Greenwashing is the deceptive practice of conveying a false impression or exaggerating a company's commitment to environmental and social responsibility to appear more environmentally friendly than it is. Therefore, this study employs a literature analysis approach to study the interaction between greenwashing and Chinese ESG investors. The primary finding indicates that diverse forms of greenwashing by companies can influence investors' decisions and ESG ratings. This study outlines three key resolution strategies: centralized environmental monitoring policies, companies streamlining management and financial costs, and institutional investors conducting on-site inspections.
