    Empirical Study of Gender Differences and Regional Economic Development

    With the widening of gender differences in modern society, the unequal treatment of women has also gradually deepened. On average, femalea are less educated than males in most of the provinces in China. This paper analyzes the relationship between educational levels of males and females in different regions and the regional economic development by using the gross regional product per capita during the last five years and annual data of male and female population with a college degree and above, which is sampled by province, and discusses whether gender differences will affect the local economic development. Through the analysis of existing data, it can be concluded that regions with a higher degree of gender discrimination have a lower GDP, and the gender discrimination rate is negatively correlated with GDP. Finally, this research summarized possible explanations for this phenomenon from the aspects of education level, labor participation rate and so on. So, because of gender the average education level of women might be negatively affected by discrimination, thus affecting the quantity and quality of work undertaken by women in society. Similarly, labor participation rates can also be affected by discrimination against a particular sex, where discrimination against men in a particular area or industry prevents male from entering the factory and contributing to the labor force. These phenomena will definitely bring about an undervalued development potential for the industry or area.

    The Impact of Bundling Strategy on Consumer Psychology of E-commerce in the Era of Big Data

    With the informatization of versatile platforms, e-commerce has become the most popular promotional channel. As the key element of the marketing mix, price strategy plays an almost decisive role in a consumer’s willingness to pay and consumer satisfaction. Thus, this study will explore the impact of bundling strategy on consumer psychology in big data e-commerce. The result shows that the bundling strategy can take advantage of big data to maximize product value perception and consumer satisfaction. Through the previous literature, the article finds many complex psychological aspects of consumers in bundle pricing under big data e-commerce. However, there are few studies on the specific elements and degree of impact on consumer psychology. Therefore, future studies can focus on using qualitative analysis to explore the influence of bundling strategy on consumer psychology in big data E-commerce and focus on one of the e-commerce platforms.

    Family Fertility Cost Estimation Based on CFPS Data

    The "demographic dividend" has brought abundant labor resources and low labor costs to our country. However, the official data released by the National Bureau of Statistics in 2021 shows that China's total fertility rate is 1.3. With the obvious trend, this endowment advantage will no longer exist. It is of great significance in contemporary China to calculate the cost of family fertility that leads to low fertility willingness, and to formulate policies to increase the fertility rate. Therefore, the paper builds a model to calculate the cost of family fertility in China through the equivalence scale theory, and calculates that the equivalence scale level of the family fertility cost in China is 1.41, which is a relatively high level in the world. On this basis, the paper analyzes the reasons for the high cost of fertility, and summarizes the shortcomings of the paper's research, therefore putting forward suggestions for future research.

    What Does Venture Capitalists Learn From IPO Failures?

    Venture capital investors focus on early-stage enterprises, the market participants have limited information about their prospects. Their investment decisions involve complicated factors and potentially the failures in the past can affect their future investment decisions. In this paper, within the context of venture capital investment, I examined the impact of the rate of IPO failures in one sector on future investment in the same sector. However, the direction of effect is ambiguous. The learning effect from past failure can be positive if the VC investors gain valuable experience from it. Alternatively, the learning effect can be negative as it reveals the VCs’ incapability to invest in that given sector. I exploit a data set from Preqin and a fixed-effect model to help me identify results that are consistent with a positive learning story. This finding contributes to our understanding of how VC investors make investment decisions and how financial market participants react to failures more broadly.

    Analysis of the Influence of Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions on the Stock Market

    The global M&A market has been growing rapidly in recent years. With the development of emerging markets, M&A can be seen in almost any event that affects the direction of the market, especially in stock market volatility, where the impact of M&A is sometimes a factor that cannot be ignored. In many different situations, M&A can have a different impact on overall stock market volatility. Through this process, we will show the intrinsic relationship between stock market turbulence and corporate M&A transactions through analysis to improve the in-depth measurement of M&A activities by companies. From several perspectives, we will use literature reading and analysis methods to conduct an analysis of the impact of corporate mergers and acquisitions. The study will show that the relationship between stock price fluctuations and M&A transactions is complementary, and that the development goals and status of the firm will determine whether M&A can have a positive impact on the stock market.

    Analysis of the Importance of “Love” and Brand Marketing to Diamond Product Sales—Taking Darry Ring as an Example

    As an industry with a very long history of development, diamond products are now very diversified in marketing methods, but adding love attributes to products is still the mainstream of diamond marketing. In previous studies, the research generally focuses on the diamond export control adopted by De Beers and the marketing miracle of "A Diamond is Forever." However, today's diamond industry has a more innovative way of publicity. This paper is making efforts to analyze what impact love and brand marketing can bring to the diamond industry. The turnover changes in recent years of the Chinese diamond brand Darry Ring and its unique and innovative marketing methods are going to be analyzed. The result shows that the marketing method of "a man can only customize one ring in his life" adopted by Darry Ring has brought great social attention and sales growth to the brand. At the same time, this innovative concept has also helped Darry Ring successfully shape its brand image, which is obviously different from the traditional diamond product brands and is highly sought after and welcomed by consumers.

    A Study on Prepayment Risk of Residential Mortgage-backed Securitization in China—A Case of "JIAMEI 2018-1 MBS Program"

    The Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities market (RMBS) has played a large role in enhancing the liquidity of mortgages, and in relieving the pressure of capital constraints on commercial banks. There are three main risks associated with residential mortgage-backed securitization: prepayment risk, interest rate risk, and default risk. This paper analyzes the prepayment risk in the "JIAMEI 2018-1"RMBS, the largest single RMBS product of the Postal Saving Bank of China (About 14 billion RMB). We introduce the JIAMEI 2 018-1 and study the factors that affect its prepayment risk. Using data, we conclude that the products involved in this case have comparatively low prepayment risk, even under the double influence of the housing finance policy tightening and the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

    Deviation from the Target Capital Structure and Acquisition Choices

    This paper aims to discuss how managers consider capital structure variations when deciding which purchases to make. Compared to their debt ratio, highly leveraged companies are less likely to decide to buy cash. These companies purchase unimportant goals at a bargain. The capital structures of over-leveraged companies are changed by their managers in anticipation of a merger or acquisition. The methodology entails the approach to the research, and the right debt-to-capital ratio was found by using Compustat and the Center for Research on Security Prices (CRSP). These data will be used in assessing the estimation model and various regression and correlation analyses. Finally, they look for acquisitions that will add the most value. This research examines the relationship between capital structure and investment choices in the context of financial frictions, highlighting the importance of capital structure in investment choices.

    The Replicability of China’s Economic Development in Smaller Economies

    From one of the world's most impoverished countries to currently the world's most active international trade participant, China and its economic growth in the past few decades is a constantly discussed and debated topic amongst the world's most prestigious politicians and scholars. Aware of China's economic accomplishment, officials from developed and developing countries ponder if China's triumph can be replicated in developing countries that aim to repeat China's success. Although some developing countries, mostly ones that are limited in economic size, have great ambitions to follow the path China once took that led the latter to prosperity, many experts warn that China's economic growth was deeply reliant on the size of its economy and questions if such experience can be replicated outside of economies massive in size, for instance, Singapore. Therefore, this essay aims to determine if Singapore can be as developed as it is if China's past developmental plans were utilized in this relatively small economy.

    The Impact of Investor’s Overconfidence Bias on Investment Strategy Based on Behavioral Finance

    As international financial markets continue to diversify and become more complex, the application of behavioral finance in financial markets is becoming more and more widespread. At the same time, as people's living standards continue to rise, the securities market is a relatively optimal investment choice. To protect the wealth of investors and improve the standard of living of the nation, it is essential to ensure the stability of the investment market, which forces us to study the impact of imperfectly rational behavior on the stock market. Overconfidence bias is one of the most common types of imperfectly rational psychology. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the impact of overconfidence on investment portfolios. This paper aims to examine the effect of overconfidence bias on an investor's investment strategy through a literature review and empirical methods. The paper concludes that overconfidence bias shows a different relationship with return yield in the initial, completion, and diminishing periods. Secondly, overconfidence bias for investors exists. The characteristics of better-than-average-effect (BTAE) and the illusion of control have different effects on trading volume, return volatility, and market efficiency, and the role of contrarian investment strategy (CIS) in overcoming this bias is discussed.

    Analysis of Apple’s Marketing Strategies in China

    A company’s marketing approach is of paramount importance to itself, and consumers can find out about the marketing of such mega-corporations from a different perspective than they do. Apple, as one of the world’s leading super companies, has been in the spotlight for many years. Therefore, this paper focuses on analyzing Apple’s marketing in the Chinese market, identifying problems and making suggestions. This paper uses the marketing theory of 4Ps to analyze Apple’s marketing strategies in the Chinese market and makes recommendations based on the problems that exist. Apple’s marketing strategies in China are undoubtedly successful, but there are also some problems, such as the relatively high price of Apple products, the questionable quality, or the almost nonexistent promotion activities that can not attract consumers.

    How America Responds to the Inflation Caused by Covid-19

    The Covid-19 pandemic has brought global inflation. Billions of people have been confined to their homes for months, unable to go to work. As an example, in the United States, which has the largest number of Covid-19 confirmed cases, the impact of the epidemic on their economy cannot is a big problem. According to the research, many of them contain the development of inflation by the Covid-19, but few papers research talk about the response of inflation for Covid-19 in U.S. central bank and the company overall. This research could serve as a model for other countries facing inflation. Therefore, this paper will use the background of the United States to explore the causes of inflation, the central bank's strategy, and how inflation reflects the difficulties faced by American companies. This paper mainly uses literature, case, and data analysis methods. Based on this paper, it was found that the fundamental factors of inflation were the imbalance of supply and demand and the break of the supply chain. But because of the Federal Reserve’s initial miscalculation about the duration of the Covid-19, they switched monetary policy from loose to tight in order to curb inflation. And American companies Apple and Amazon are both facing rising costs, labor shortages, and supply chain disruptions, but their solutions are different because of changing consumer preferences.
