    The Impact of School District Segmentation Changes on Housing Prices in Selected Districts of Beijing

    In China, school enrollment district segmentation changes often raise fluctuations of housing market. Once a house is segmented into a popular school district, its price will immediately skyrocket. To curb the hidden educational inequality caused by this phenomenon, many Chinese cities, including Beijing, are attempting to ‘cool down’ school district housing by adjusting existing school district segmentation. This paper aims to verify the impact of school district segmentation changes on housing prices in selected districts of Beijing. Through time-varying difference-in-difference method, this study found no significant correlation between the changes in school district segmentation and the fluctuation of housing prices in different administrative districts in Beijing. This study is significant for understanding the housing market situation in Beijing and the real-world effect of school district segmentation changes. Policy makers should take housing market prices into consideration when making school district policy decisions and make further researches to investigate the effects of new school district segmentation on neighborhood-level housing prices.

    Application and Limitations of the Expectancy Theory in Organizations

    The expectancy theory is a tool that is widely used by companies around the world. Through a well-established reward system, employees put more time and effort into their work, knowing that they will be rewarded for their efforts. However, Nsofor found that each employee is motivated in a different way. A large part of employees are not suitable for implementing the expectancy theory. Therefore, this paper focuses on the application and limitations of expectancy theory in organizations. This research found that expectancy theory is limited in scope, does not include other factors explaining motivation, and is only limited to material reward. Also, expectancy theory can only be applied to performance that can be easily measured. This research paper demonstrates the credibility of the above viewpoints through different case studies. This paper can also enhance cooperation’s understanding of expectancy theory.

    An Empirical Analysis of the Effects of Public Aviation Transport Service Subsidy Policies in China: A Multi-Period DID Approach

    Public aviation transport plays a vital role in the comprehensive transportation system of a country. To ensure the healthy development of the public aviation transport industry, the government has implemented a series of subsidy policies. Evaluating the effectiveness of these subsidy policies is of significant importance for the economic and social development of regions and the improvement of people’s quality of life. This paper empirically analyzes the effects of subsidy policies on regional aviation routes using a multi-period Difference-in-Differences (DID) model based on data spanning from 2009 to 2019. The research indicates that subsidy policies have a positive feedback effect on the public aviation transport industry and are likely to continue producing favorable outcomes. However, there are regional variations in the responses to these policies. Furthermore, considering the current policy landscape and research findings, this paper offers recommendations for optimizing subsidy policies, providing valuable insights for policy decision-making.

    Expressions of Irrational Investment Behaviour and Proposals to Reduce the Irrational Behaviour

    Behaviour finance gained more and more weight in the development of finance theory in comparison to standard finance theory which is dominated by the efficient market hypothesis. As a field of behavioural economics, it combines psychology and finance to understand how human behaviour and cognitive biases impact financial decision-making. Some market anomalies which seem strange or impossible according to standard finance theory can be understood and explained with the help of behavioural finance theory. Through analysis and literature review, this paper explores the common expressions of irrational behaviour such as representativeness, herd effect, anchoring, overconfidence, and their effect on the investment financial market. This paper finds that people can be easily influenced by any given information. Individuals’ personalities and social backgrounds also play a decisive role in making investment decisions. Therefore, some possibilities and advice to reduce the losses caused by human cognitive biases are also provided in the paper.

    Collusion in Repeated Game: The Issue and the Suggested Combating Strategy for International Cartel

    The international cartel does not positively influence the world’s economy. It is inefficient to allocate resources by setting a very high price. This paper emphasizes one of the most famous examples of international cartels in the real world - OPEC and a possible international cartel in the future - GECF. Finding out the damages brought by OPEC and GECF, and the predicted damages brought by GECF in the future, highlight the negative impact it brings to call for governments’ attention on the cartel. Then, making some comparisons of OPEC and GECF will help to make different target strategies for them. Also, this paper provides some suggestions to combat international cartels, like standardizing the cartel’s definition and constructing a global jurisdiction organization to solve the cartel problems. Although there is a long way to go in combating international cartels, some actions are needed urgently to witness the increasing power of international cartels.

    The Introduction to Behavioral Economics and Its Widespread Use across Different Areas of Economics and Policymaking

    In exploring the realm of behavioral economics, we find that traditional economic theories often overlook the intricacies of human psychology. Behavioral economics can be perceived as a compelling intersection of psychology and traditional economics. Rather than always acting rationally, individuals are influenced by cognitive biases, heuristics, and framing effects. These insights from behavioral economics have broad applications, spanning from personal finance to comprehensive public policies. Policymakers and economists alike now integrate behavioral perspectives to design more effective interventions. By recognizing human tendencies, we can nudge individuals towards better decisions, thereby enhancing societal welfare. Examples of such applications include reframing retirement savings options, devising strategies for improved tax compliance, and crafting initiatives to decrease energy consumption. Through these insights, we emphasize the potential of behavioral economics to craft a more informed and efficient approach to addressing economic challenges. Behavioral economics has a transformative power that goes beyond traditional economic frameworks. By merging psychological insights with economic principles, we gain a multifaceted perspective that enables us to navigate these complexities more adeptly.

    Application of TTC and TTAS Mechanisms in Bed Allocation Problem in Chinese Universities

    Dormitory beds are assigned to students at random in China each year. However, a big majority of students are dissatisfied with their results, which will have an impact on their academic performance. The goal of this paper is to help students choose a suitable bed by using an algorithm after the initial allocation. This research constructs a bed allocation model and firstly employ the top trading cycles algorithm, which fulfills individual rationality, Pareto-efficiency, and strategy-proofness. Notwithstanding, this paper finds that the chance of indifferences cannot be precluded, despite the fact that this article let students rank beds as indicated by their inclinations for rooms and beds. Subsequently, the top trading cycles algorithm is ineffectual for this issue. The top trading absorbing sets algorithm is then applied to the general domain to create individual rationally, Pareto-efficient, and strategy-proof matching. This paper finds that the top trading absorbing sets algorithm is a suitable solution for bed allocation problem in Chinese universities and suggests universities to apply this algorithm after randomly allocating beds to freshmen to enhance the satisfaction of students.

    The Anchoring Effect in ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) Investing

    This research paper delves into the intrinsic dynamics of the anchoring effect as it pertains to corporate engagement in green governance. The findings underscore two distinct phenomena: firstly, in the presence of solely an internal anchor, there is a marked internal anchoring effect. This indicates a direct correlation between the magnitude of a focus firm's expenditure and its green outlay. Conversely, when only influenced by an external anchor, there emerges a pronounced externality among companies affiliated with Global Prime Partners (GPP). Specifically, a prior heightened expenditure on environmental initiatives is indicative of potential benefits reaped from anchoring in the realm of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies. This paper further elucidates the implications of these anchoring effects on decision-making processes and offers strategic insights into harnessing their inherent advantages.

    Economic Recession Forecasts Using Machine Learning Models Based on the Evidence from the COVID-19 Pandemic

    In the past several years, the global epidemic has deeply affected the world. In this paper, we conduct research to examine the economic costs produced by COVID-19. First, we look for the relationships between the number of new COVID-19 cases and the statistics on economic mobility, and this could help us explain the economic recession during the pandemic. The results show that people tend to stay at home rather than going outside to other places during the pandemic. Additionally, we use the VAR model to forecast the GDP with data from the preceding 40 years, which might be able to help us in the future with risk management. Even though we fail to obtain the accurate estimate of the GDP, it still provides us with a way to conduct advanced planning. The inaccuracy of COVID-19 instances and other social or political issues that were left out could both contribute to the bias.
