Authors: Ramazan Tayyeb , Jamil Shamsa , Salman Ambreen
Published: December 2024

The social media usage has remained an increasingly worrying concern that sparks much debate on part of personality regarding social media addiction, the dark triad personality attributes. This paper examines the gratifications sought upon social media based on UGT and social media addiction with an emphasis on the dark triad personalities (Narcissism, Psychopathy as well as Machiavellianism as moderating variables. The dark triad personality traits are nefarious to oneself and others, hence, relevant to investigating social media addiction. Findings substantiate hypothesis that UGT is positively correlated with social media addiction, meaning that higher gratifications from SM lead to increased susceptibility to addiction. Still, as hypothesized, dark triad traits did not moderate effects; neither combined nor individual effects of Narcissism, Psychopathy, and Machiavellianism changed strength of relationship between UGT and social media addiction. These implications mean that although UGT is determinant of addiction, dark triad personality characteristics are not salient as moderators. Hence, those individuals who are driven by UGT are likely going to engage in development of addiction irrespective of the personality features that are known to result in the dark triad.

Authors: Li Kexing
Published: December 2024

This paper delves into the impact of advertisements on consumer behavior, with a particular focus on daily necessities. Advertising has become a powerful force in shaping purchasing decisions, influencing how consumers perceive and select products. Brand image, along with trends driven by social media, increasingly determines consumer preferences, leading to a shift in purchasing patterns where consumers are more likely to choose brands with a prominent online presence. The ability of advertisements to create demand and influence behavior is evident, but this power also raises significant ethical concerns. Manipulative advertising tactics, the spread of misleading information, and the over-commercialization of essential products pose challenges to consumer trust and well-being. Furthermore, the paper explores the limitations of the advertising industry, examining its broader implications on consumer health, the transparency of marketing practices, and the sustainability of promoting essential goods in a profit-driven marketplace. Ultimately, this study seeks to highlight both the influence and the potential consequences of advertising on modern consumer behavior.

Authors: Kang Hansheng
Published: December 2024

On September 18, the interest rate cut announced by the US Federal Reserve Board was the first interest rate cut since March 2020, and the industry generally analyzed that this will also open the curtain of the Fed's interest rate cut cycle. The Federal Reserve's practice of regulating monetary policy for its interests has improved the US economy. Still, the inhibitory effect of high interest rates on the economy is also emerging. The prolonged period of high interest rates has created a cost-of-living crisis for Americans, whose real standard of living is not as good as the economy looks. The pace of rate cuts is not expected to be as rapid as the pace of rate increases, which may have a contractionary effect on economic development in the United States and other economies. This article will start with the paradox between low unemployment and slow wage growth in the United States. The close relationship between inflation and wage levels is introduced. This analysis explores the factors contributing to the slow economic growth in the United States from various perspectives and offers predictions for the country's short- and long-term economic outlook. While domestic tensions are gradually easing in the short term, the long-term prospects for the U.S. economy appear less optimistic. This is due to enduring structural issues within the country, a significant decline in consumption levels, and external influences that continue to pose challenges to sustained growth.

Authors: Qian Xinni
Published: December 2024

China's new tea industry has recently been exploring overseas listing opportunities, with two companies experiencing breakdowns in their Hong Kong IPOs. ChaPanda, the second new tea beverage company to list, saw a year's worth of turnover evaporate on its first day on the Hong Kong stock market, falling far below investors' expectations. Back in 2021, the IPO of "Nayuki's Tea" on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange also faced a similar breakdown, attributed to overpriced valuations in the new tea beverage industry. These above-average IPO valuations are often influenced by online public opinion and media evaluations, affecting both IPO pricing and stock prices on the first day. Additionally, since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, mainland companies breaking on their first day of IPOs on the Hong Kong stock market have remained relatively high compared to the overall market. This article uses ChaPanda as a case study to explore the reasons behind the frequent IPO breakdowns in the new tea beverage industry on the Hong Kong stock market. It examines three key aspects: industry background, enterprise valuation efficiency, and investor sentiment, as well as the issuance risks of listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Published: December 2024

As the center of gravity of the global economy gradually shifts to Asia, China has strengthened its influence in the international economic system through the Belt and Road Initiative. As an important pole of the global economy, how to maintain the competitiveness of the EU in the new situation has become an important issue. There are significant differences between EU member states in terms of their level of economic development, foreign policies and attitudes towards China. This diversity makes it more difficult for the EU to coordinate its reaction to the Belt and Road Initiative. This complicates the EU's efforts to coordinate its reaction to the Initiative. As a result, this study investigates multilateral cooperation, socio-cultural, and sustainable development viewpoints, concluding that the EU must improve collaboration, maximize internal coordination, and adhere to the goal of sustainable development. The paper also discusses the major economic issues arising from the policy coordination of EU member states to adapt to the Belt and Road Initiative and the solutions required for these challenges.

The outbreak's impact on the world as a whole, particularly the world economy, has been enormous. Although there have been studies on the impact of the epidemic on certain areas and sectors, there is a lack of comparative summaries and a lack of a more comprehensive exploration of the results of the epidemic. This paper aims to synthesise a number of papers to summarise and analyse the impact of the outbreak on the economy in China, such as a decrease in consumption and the number of products produced. In the future, people should identify the existing problems in various fields, solve the problems by combining the actual situation of the current era, and the state should summarise the relevant laws and introduce relevant policies to accelerate the economic recovery speed, help the economic development, and build the country into a rich, intense, democratic, civilised, harmonious and modern socialist power as soon as possible.
Market Dynamics of Short Covering: The Price Rebound Phenomenon and Double Peak Model in China’s Futures
Authors: Gong Mingkai
Published: December 2024

The present study examines the behavior of futures markets in the wake of widespread short selling and subsequent short covering, which frequently lead to notable price increases. Known as the "Double Peak Model," this study provides a thorough analysis by synthesizing empirical data and recent literature. Data on futures contracts for different financial indices and commodities during periods of notable short interest and subsequent short covering are gathered for the study. Using statistical and econometric methods, the research examines trends in price movements and volatility. Key findings show that while short covering can result in sudden and sharp price increases, short selling can improve market efficiency and transparency by improving information flow. The study also emphasizes how crucial institutional involvement, legal frameworks, and market dynamics are in determining these price fluctuations. The Double Peak Model provides a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying market behaviors related to short selling and covering, which is useful information for traders, investors, and policymakers. These understandings are essential for creating sensible regulatory policies, enhancing risk management, and creating successful trading strategies.
