The Impact of Cost Leadership Strategy on the Development of High-Quality Businesses
Authors: Du Zhuolin , Wang Xiaojia
Published: June 2024

Based on the 2015-2021 Chinese A-share listing data, this paper empirically investigates the impact of cost leadership strategy on the level of high-quality development of enterprises and its mechanism of action, in combination with the cost leadership strategy index at the enterprise level. Cost leadership strategy is found to have a significant positive impact on the level of high quality business development, and this finding still holds after robustness testing using multiple methods. Mechanistic analyses show that funding constraints negatively moderate the relationship between cost leadership strategy on firms' level of high quality development. In contrast, firms' growth positively moderates the relationship between cost leadership strategy on the firms' high-quality development level. As per heterogeneity analysis, high-tech companies that frequently use big data technology, high-tech companies, and companies with a moderate percentage of management shareholding all see an increase in their firms' high-quality development levels as a result of the cost leadership strategy. The research in this paper is instructive for how better enterprises can promote the adoption of cost leadership strategy for the high-quality development of enterprises.

Authors: Xu Junyu , Yu Kexin , Sun Ying
Published: June 2024

In China's capital market, there are many cases of corporate violations, and the internal governance structure of enterprises will greatly affect the situation of enterprise violations. As a special governance structure of family enterprises, couple’ joint holdings governance mode plays an important role in the violation of capital market. At present, the classification framework of corporate violation factors has been mature, and the advantages and disadvantages of couple’ joint holdings have been analyzed, but there is still a gap in the research on the correlation between the two. This paper takes A-share listed family corporates from 2007 to 2021 as the research sample and finds through multiple empirical regression test that the governance mode of couple’ joint holdings can significantly reduce the number of corporate violations. Meanwhile, the lower the proportion of institutional investors, the higher the negative correlation between couple’ joint holdings and the number of corporate violations. Negative correlation between the two was significantly enhanced by the addition of the capital occupied by major shareholders. It is of great significance for the development of family enterprises in capital market to explore the relationship between couple’ joint holdings and corporate violation.
The Interaction Between the Circulation Theory of Five Virtues and Imperial Power in Ancient China
Authors: Luo Yanshu , Qin Hua
Published: June 2024

As a theory of daring to speculate on the order of historical development and design the system of political rituals, the Circulation Theory of Five Virtues attracted the attention of a large number of rulers since it was put forward. It became an important part of the guiding ideology behind the rise of many dynasties or regimes and formed an interactive relationship with the expanding imperial power in Chinese history. Originated from the political ideal of advising the monarch to develop qualities of benevolence, righteousness, and frugality, its original idea was to restrain and supervise imperial power. However, under the background of being used and reformed by monarchs, this philosophical system eventually became a tool to serve the expansion of their power and was then abandoned by them. From the perspective of imperial power, different rulers took different attitudes toward it: some adopted it, others reformed it, while some chose to ignore it. Nonetheless, all these attitudes were based on the same purpose - to expand their own power and ensure the legitimacy and stability of their rule.

Authors: Liao Jiayu
Published: June 2024

Over the last twenty years, there has been a surge in research on happy emotions, with Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE) emerging as a popular area of study. By means of several studies, it has been found that FLE is closely related to foreign language (FL) learning (motivation, commitment, and FLE). This paper mainly focuses on FLE in foreign language learning. Concluding from the literature foreign language enjoyment can positively and significantly predict FLE, which is impacted in the process of altering FLE by several outside as well as inside factors. In addition, the paper concludes that, on the one hand, FLE can act as a mediator with other foreign language emotions to affect FLE. On the other hand, FLE is moderated by mediating factors in the way it affects FLE. In contrast, this paper concludes that most of the researches on foreign language emotions has been conducted in terms of the relationship between internal and external variables of individuals, but it lacks the examination of the environmental dimensions and learning environments. It is hoped that future research can explore English achievement (e.g. listening, reading, writing) in more details.

Machine Learning in Financial Time-series Data
Authors: Wang Wenjia
Published: June 2024

This article discusses the application of machine learning (ML) in time series analysis within the financial sector, focusing on the stock market, bond market, and foreign exchange market. Time-series data encompasses attributes such as stock prices, exchange rates, and interest rates. Traditional machine learning methods, such as autoregressive and moving average models, demonstrate effectiveness in stock market trend forecasting. Deep learning methods, such as long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, excel in handling nonlinear relationships and high-dimensional data. However, challenges such as overfitting, parameter selection, and model interpretation persist. In the bond market, term structure models such as the Nelson-Siegel and Svensson modes are widely used, while linear models like regime-switching models are employed to detect anomalies in the data. Machine learning techniques, such as neural networks, decision trees, and support vector machines, are increasingly employed in yield curve modeling and trading volume analysis. In the foreign exchange market, methods like the random walk and stochastic volatility models are used for exchange rate prediction, while multivariate time series models and deep techniques, such as cointegration models, are employed in correlation analysis. Time-series analysis aids investment decision-making, risk management, and understanding market dynamics. While traditional methods currently dominate the field, new technologies may enhance analysis effectiveness and decision-making accuracy.
