Intangible Asset Valuation in Innovative Technology Firms: Misvaluation Risks and New Assessment
Authors: Li Jinxin
Published: January 2025

The rapid rise of modern scientific and technological innovation enterprises has injected vitality into the world's scientific and technological development, and at the same time, it has also brought changes and challenges to the traditional measurement methods of financial accounting. Research institutions, finance firms, and experts around the world are skeptical about the applicability of current methods of measuring intangible assets. One of the main reasons for these doubts is that intangible assets, such as patents, goodwill value, etc., play a huge role in the productivity development and profit growth of enterprises. However, this role is easily ignored and underestimated in the process of accounting recognition and measurement under the cost method. At present, the more common fair value valuation is estimated through the external market and the stock market, but the external valuation often leads to misestimation due to information asymmetry, which brings risks to the decision-making of information users. This paper uses the example method and literature analysis method to analyze the insufficient consideration of intangible asset valuation by the traditional intangible asset valuation method and the potential risks caused by M&A and financing. On this basis, the reasonableness of the current trial improvement measures is evaluated, and the relatively reasonable solutions are compared. It explains why the "deep disclosure method" is a relatively safe and operable strategy in the current accounting standards and environment.
Analysis of Factors Affecting Delayed Employment Among Chinese College Students and Corresponding Strategies
Authors: Wang Elisa
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the phenomenon of "delayed employment" among college graduates in the context of China's rapid economic development and the increasingly severe employment situation in recent years. Utilizing data analysis methods, the study provides an in-depth elucidation and analysis of the prevalence, connotations, and contributing factors associated with the "delayed employment" phenomenon. The research findings reveal that domestic economic pressures, traditional family values, the lack of adequate employment guidance within higher education institutions, and deviations in students' values are the primary drivers of this phenomenon. The results indicate that while "delayed employment" offers graduates the opportunity for personal growth and exploration of their interests, prolonged engagement in this state may lead to delays in career development and increased psychological stress. Based on these findings, the article proposes a series of countermeasures, including deepening cooperation between universities and enterprises, enhancing the practicality of university curricula, and fostering a supportive family environment. These strategies aim to improve the employment conditions of college students through policy interventions and multifaceted support. Implementing these measures holds significant practical implications for facilitating graduates' successful integration into the workforce and enhancing the quality of their employment.

Authors: Wu Yuxi
Published: January 2025

The real estate market is on the cusp of changes in the world economy, affecting the lives of citizens across the globe. As an important part of the real estate market, the real estate tax is levied on the property owned by citizens or the rental, which has caused some related social problems. This paper analyzes the two earliest places of real estate tax implementation, Shanghai and Chongqing, studies the impact of real estate tax on housing prices, market structure and consumer behavior, and gives some expectations for the future of real estate development. In the research, this paper finds that the current real estate tax is mainly levied on new houses and second-hand houses in big cities, and the market structure continues to fluctuate in price due to "real estate speculation", resulting in the failure of the real estate market to flourish, and consumers and sellers are relatively cautious. First, property taxes directly increase the price of housing in the real estate market, because the cost of maintaining a home increases, and second, more people who cannot afford the high cost of housing choose to rent, thus driving up the price of rent. As far as the market structure is concerned, the reverse price changes of the primary housing market and the secondary housing market aggravate the floating demand and instability of the market. For consumers, the real estate tax will affect their consumption concept, shift from real estate investment to other industrial investment.

Authors: Hayashi Yoshiki
Published: January 2025

This paper investigates the correlation between the characteristics of the houses and their prices using Multiple Linear Regressions. Using datasets from Lianjia, this study reveals factors including total housing area, proximity to subways, number of drawing rooms, and community average price, with robust standard errors confirming the reliability of these results. In the initial Ordinary Least Square (OLS) Regression, multicollinearity was not detected by the VIF test, while heteroskedasticity was detected by the White test so robust standard error is used. To address potential endogeneity issue, Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) regression with appropriate instrumental variables is further applied. Notably, the results show a negative relationship between housing size and its price, indicating a demand for smaller, centrally located properties, driven by high housing prices and preferences of younger buyer. As a persuit for accuracy, variables bathroom and followers are used in combination as IVs for the potentially endogenous variable square. The conclusion that socio-economic factors, urban development, and access to subway station play significant roles in determining housing prices in Beijing is drawn from the regressions.
Policy Support and Free Markets: Innovation Paths and Future Strategies in Bangalore and Silicon Valley
Authors: Yang Bochao
Published: January 2025

This paper compares the different urban development models of Bangalore and Silicon Valley, two global centers of technology and innovation. Bangalore, known as the "Silicon Valley of India," has grown primarily through government policies that attract outsourcing and R&D centers, while Silicon Valley thrives on a market-driven innovation ecosystem supported by venture capital. The study analyzes their entrepreneurial cultures, labor sources, and risk tolerance, highlighting the strengths and limitations of each model. Bangalores government-led approach has bolstered its outsourcing industry but limited its capacity for indigenous innovation. In contrast, Silicon Valleys risk-tolerant, market-based model has fostered groundbreaking technological innovation. The research concludes that Bangalore should focus on enhancing local innovation capabilities to achieve sustained growth, while Silicon Valley must address rising living costs and income inequality to maintain its global leadership. By comparing these distinct urban development paths, the study offers valuable insights for emerging technology hubs around the world.

Authors: Dong Hanwei
Published: January 2025

As society calls for innovation, corporate research and development (R&D) expenses are under the spotlight. Using Chinese A-share listed firms from 2013 to 2022, this paper investigates the impact of religion on corporate R&D expenses and finds a significant positive correlation between religion and R&D expenses by Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Regression, which is different from the extant literature. In particular, the quantity of well-known religious facilities (Buddhist and Taoist temples) located a certain distance from a company's registration address is used to measure religion. This paper further uses robustness tests and heterogeneity tests to ensure the reliability of regression results, finding that the relationship between religion and R&D expenses is more pronounced in small firms. In conclusion, with altruism driven by religion, firms with a dense religious atmosphere tend to contribute to society, thus increasing R&D expenses. This paper enriches the relevant literature on both religion and R&D expenses.
An Empirical Analysis of the Impact of Pesticide and Fertilizer Pollution on Household Income
Authors: Mi Jia
Published: January 2025

In agricultural production, agricultural non-point source pollution threatens the safety of water supply and food safety, restricts the sustainable development of the agricultural economy and rural ecological environment, and is the bottleneck of agricultural development in China. To explore the impact of this situation on the real income of rural households, the paper is based on the data from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) from 2014 to 2018. With the pollution status in agricultural production as the explanatory variable and the total value of household agricultural and sideline products as an explanatory variable, a fixed effect model was established to estimate the influence of fertilizer and pesticide application on labor income level. The results show that the income brought by pesticide and fertilizer input is low efficiency, and some farmers have achieved high yields with low input. In addition, the education level of the agricultural population and the size of the family had no significant effect on this. Considering the output problem, the application of pesticides and fertilizers is necessary, but the cognition that pesticides and fertilizers can increase crop yield and income makes the application of pesticides continue to increase, which is not conducive to the increase of agricultural output value. It is necessary to attach importance to new methods of increasing agricultural production based on the application of small amounts of fertilizers and pesticides and use technological reform and professional agricultural education to promote the rational use of pesticides and fertilizers and achieve rapid development of agriculture.

Reassessing Oscar Lange's Insights on AI and Labor Relations in Modern Capitalism
Authors: Yuan Lingtian
Published: January 2025

The work examines Oscar Langes cybernetic economic theory in the context of modern advancements in artificial intelligence and its socio-economic implications. It focuses on Langes vision of integrating computer simulations into socialist economic planning to enhance efficiency and democracy, contrasting this with current AI development under capitalism.The research investigates how AI technologies today align with Langes theoretical predictions, while also highlighting the divergence toward crises such as cyber-feudalism, dehumanization, and economic inequality. Using comparative analysis, theoretical deduction, and historical data reviews, the paper discusses AI's potential benefits and challenges in productivity and production relations. It examines whether future historical developments will align with cyber-feudal dystopias or post-scarcity utopias. Such study concludes that although Langes vision was constrained by technical and political challenges of his time, AI has partially validated the potential of computer-assisted economic planning. However, instead of advancing socialism, AI has deepened capitalist contradictions. At this intersection of technological progress and social upheaval, the paper emphasizes the importance of embedding ethical frameworks, such as Langes socialist principles, into AI systems to mitigate inequality and alienation. It suggests that responsible technological development can offer a path toward a more humane and equitable future, but continuous observation and critical analysis are required to align technology with human needs. This study acknowledges its limitations in focusing primarily on Lange's theoretical frameworks without comprehensive empirical data on AI's impact across industries. Future research should integrate quantitative analyses and qualitative studies to further understand AI's effects on labor markets and social inequalities.
The Study on Climate-Driven Summer Extreme Heat and Impact on Delivery and Take Out Industry GDP
Authors: Wang Zelin
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the impact of climate-induced summer extreme heat on the GDP growth of the delivery and takeout industries in three major Chinese cities: Shanghai, Beijing, and Xi'an. By examining the relationship between the number of highly high-temperature days and the GDP growth rates of these industries, the research reveals varying effects of high temperatures across cities and industries. The findings reveal significant variations across the cities. In Shanghai, extreme heat has a positive impact on both industries; in Beijing, it is positive for the logistics industry but negative for the takeout industry; and in Xi'an, it has little impact on the logistics industry and a negative impact on the takeout industry. The study shows that the economic impact of extreme heat differs across urban environments and sectors. This helps understand the mechanism of urban economies affected by extreme heat and provides a basis for policy formulation, emphasizing the importance of context-specific climate resilience strategies. Future research could explore how other extreme weather patterns interact with economic activity.

Authors: Li Xinran
Published: January 2025

China's aging population society has entered a high-speed deepening stage, promoting energy saving and emission reduction, realizing low carbon development history is an important strategic task in our country. On the Basis of panel data since 2011 to 2021, using an intermediate effect model, this paper studies the relations among the population aging, industry structure upgrading as well as rationalization and the emission of carbon dioxide. The results indicate that aging exerts a significant positive impact on carbon emissions. The influence of population aging on carbon emissions is inverted U shape. When aging reaches a certain level, the influence on carbon emissions has a nonlinear feature of decreasing marginal effect. The aging can exert a prominent influence on carbon emissions in the regions through upgrading and rationalization of the industrial structure. That influence about population aging on carbon emissions is remarkable in the region. Therefore, promoting the optimization process of industry structure forced by population aging contributes to realizing "reduction effect of carbon emissions" under the background of population aging.
What Behavioral Principles Should Be Used to Design a Pension Scheme: Insights from Status Quo Bias and Hyperbolic Discounting
Authors: Hu Junchi
Published: January 2025

This paper provides insights into the key behavioral principles that should be considered in the design of an effective pension plan, focusing on the impact of status quo bias and hyperbolic discounting on individual decision-making. First, the paper analyzes how status quo bias affects employee choice behavior in defined contribution (DC) plans, highlighting the significant role of default options in boosting participation and savings rates. Second, the paper dissects the impact of hyperbolic discounting on consumption patterns and annuity demand, revealing the tendency of individuals to neglect long-term financial planning due to their preference for instant gratification, a behavior that poses challenges in retirement planning. Using the case of the Save More Tomorrow program, this paper offers a series of policy recommendations designed to leverage these behavioral insights to optimize retirement outcomes. It is found that applying these key principles of behavioral economics to pension plan design not only effectively addresses the cognitive biases that prevent rational savings, but also helps design pension plans that are more consistent with human decision-making. Through this understanding and application, policymakers can design plans that are more motivating to individuals, enhance financial security, and encourage employees to develop sustainable saving behaviors to achieve more robust financial security in the future.

Authors: Wu Honglin
Published: January 2025

This study examines the impact of financial development and the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) on income inequality in BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) from 1999 to 2019. Employing a Difference-in-Differences (DID) panel data analysis, the research evaluates how financial development metrics, such as GDP growth, FDI, stock market performance, and external debt, influence income inequality. The findings reveal that the GFC significantly exacerbated inequality in BRICS nations, as measured by the Gini index, compared to other developing economies. However, enhanced financial development indicators, such as increased stock market activity and GDP growth, were found to mitigate income inequality. This study highlights the dual nature of financial development in addressing income disparity, offering insights for policymakers in emerging economies to design inclusive financial policies. The research underscores the need for targeted financial reforms to ensure equitable growth, particularly during periods of economic volatility.

In the field of quantitative finance, the application of deep learning is gradually becoming a key driving force in advancing quantitative investment. This paper seeks to evaluate the performance of various machine learning models in stock market forecasting, with particular emphasis on examining the effectiveness of Gradient Boosting Regression (GBR), Single-layer Long Short-Term Memory Networks (S-LSTM), and Double-layer Long Short-Term Memory Networks (D-LSTM).Through the development of prediction systems grounded in these models, this paper examines their proficiency in managing time series data, identifying market trends, and forecasting stock price movements. The results, based on both AIC and BIC analyses, demonstrate that the D-LSTM model offers significant advantages in balancing prediction accuracy and model complexity, making it the preferred choice in high-precision scenarios. Although the S-LSTM model demonstrates slightly lower performance compared to the D-LSTM, it still achieves commendable fitting results with reduced complexity, making it an ideal choice for resource-constrained applications. In contrast, the GBR model, despite its simplicity, proves less effective for time series forecasting than the LSTM models. Its strengths lie in non-time-series tasks or situations where a streamlined model structure is preferred.
