Research on Poverty and Saving Behavior- based on the Perspective of Scarcity Mentality and Time Preference
Authors: Ren Yuxin
Published: September 2023

The lack of dependable savings accounts seems common to the worlds low-income group. It will greatly limit the process of becoming rich, and even cause some people who have been out of poverty to return to it again. Today, new research from the fields of behavioral economics is shedding light on how poverty may shape an individuals saving behaviors. Hence, this article focuses on two psychological traits that are strongly associated with saving behaviors, especially for low-income groups: scarcity mindset (poverty reducing mental bandwidth) and time preference (favoring immediate rewards over long-term considerations). Through the literature reviewing, we propose a general analytical framework of poverty-scarcity mindset-limited cognitive capacity and executive control-time preference (present bias)-saving behavior-poverty trap. Then we present commitment programs and cognitive supports as two anti-poverty policy recommendations based on these phenomena, to promote welfare for low-waged families.

Authors: Li Jiadi
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we study the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the connectedness of the Chinese banking system, and explore the heterogeneity effect of this pandemic. We construct static and dynamic analysis on 14 Chinese banks by building the volatility spillover network proposed by Diebold and Yilmaz to assess the volatility spillover effects caused by COVID-19, and compare it with the previous financial crises in the past 12 years. The empirical findings show that the COVID-19 did impact the connectedness of Chinese banking system and its structure within the system, with the 14 Chinese banks highly interconnected especially during COVID-19 era. In addition, the highly connected and contagious status of Chinese banking system didn't stay long during COVID-19 era compared with previous crises. Moreover, we find a shock-passing path during the COVID-19 era: big banks deliver more shocks to the middle banks, and the middle banks send more shocks to small banks. At the same time, our work presents that state-owned banks, during COVID-19 era, were more contagious and the local banks were more vulnerable compared with their historical performance.

Authors: Quan Jiayi
Published: September 2023

With the internet and technology development, the utilization rate of short video platforms has gradually increased, and online shopping has become very common. On September 20, 2016, Tiktok short video platform was launched. A TikTok mall is a delivery tool provided by Tiktok e-commerce for merchants. The platform reduces the threshold for merchants to meet the requirements and implements a comprehensive opening policy to obtain more user traffic. Inevitably, lowering the threshold brings the disadvantage of merchants selling fake and inferior products, leading to the lemon for the market and significantly impacting the platform atmosphere and user traffic. Based on the idea of mixed strategy and a journal about the online game theory of product quality, this paper adds more variables, taking into account the negative impact of Tiktok's actual scheme policy and lemon market. Constructing a game theory model including merchants and Tiktok regulatory department, analyze its nash equilibrium and derivative of each variable. Finally, find out that the lemon market exists on the Tiktok platform. Second, the higher cost of high-quality firms leads to strengthening supervision to prevent the low-quality firms from being driven out of the market. Third, the lower profit of low-quality goods, the merchants prefer to sell high-quality goods. The strategies selected by the regulatory authorities on the Tiktok platform and the strategies of the merchants are influenced by the production costs of different quality, the regulatory costs, and the rewards obtained from the efforts made by the regulatory authorities in sampling inspection. These factors will also influence their profits. This paper will prove the conclusion with accurate data.

Authors: Deng Lehua , Jiang Qiyan
Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe imbalances in the global economy and intensified stock market turmoil worldwide. Based on Fama-French five-factor model, this paper studies Chinas A-share market changes before and after the epidemic. The stocks treated by ST (special treatment) and * ST (delisting warning) are screened, excluding companies and banking stocks with shortlisting time. The equities are finally divided into groups using the two-by-three grouping approach. According to the median of the total market value of stocks, the entire sample is separated into two categories: modest market value (S) and large market value (B). The samples are classified into three categories based on the book-to-market ratio's 30% and 70% quantiles: high (H), medium (N), and low (L). Comparing the different times of the impact of the five factors on stock earnings is conducive to explaining the changes in the factors affecting the stock price of listed companies before and after the epidemic. It is possible to analyze which factors have declined and fluctuated after the epidemic, resulting in a decline in stock prices, a slowdown in the growth of listed companies, or even a recession. The analysis of the five-factor model can clarify which factors have led to the decline in stock prices after the beginning of the epidemic, which is conducive to the formulation of related policies and plans by listed companies and makes up for the decline in stock prices and the slowdown in company growth caused by the corresponding decline, which has apparent practical value.

Forecasting the US Dollar/Euro Exchange Rate Based on ARIMA Model
Authors: Zhu Qimian
Published: September 2023

The exchange rate is an important indicator for investors and governments as well as a verdict on economic prospects. The euro reached its lowest point in 20 years on August 22, 2022, falling below parity with the dollar and terminating a one-to-one exchange rate with the American currency. The event's great significance provides paramount motivation for us to construct a suitable model capable to forecast it. Numerous modeling methods are proposed to predict and analysis the exchange rate. This paper discussed the applicability of a univariate ARIMA model. Moreover, a multivariable ARIMA model, i.e., four macroeconomic variables supposed influential to the change of exchange rate, were introduced in the AR part of the ARIMA model. For the training set, data is gathered on a monthly basis from January 1999 to December 2021, while the period forecasted is the plunge event from January to August, in 2022. Their 8-month long forecasting experiments reveal that the univariate ARIMA model has no ability to forecast the trend of the exchange rate. In general, the multivariate regression model with ARIMA errors is capable of forecasting the historical change of the USD/EURO spot exchange rate. However, its performance totally depends on the quality of the predicted predictors, which are the four macro-economic variables in this study.

Authors: Han Xiaomeng , Zhang Ningjing
Published: September 2023

As chips become more prevalent in daily life, many countries understand that in order to become self-sufficient, they must build their own semiconductor supply chains. China, a country that has stalled behind in developing chips, is also aware of this. To this end, the government started vigorously promoting investments in semiconductors, turning them into popular business opportunities. Venture capitalists (VC), who typically prefer high risks but greater returns, are responsible for the greatest growth. They think that even though politics and technology have placed restrictions on the industry, there is still room for growth in the semiconductor market. This paper breaks down the recent trends in the semiconductor industry of mainland China, with a particular focus on sensitive points such as political treaties and social phenomena. According to results, the mainland semiconductor industry merits attention and has a promising future. Venture capitalists should look for companies with the following characteristics: highly educated and experienced employees, the ability to design chips independently, and a stable supply chain.

All-cause Excess Mortality Cross-sectional Correlation Analysis at Global Scale during COVID-19, 2020-22
Authors: Li Xinxi , Zhang Longfei
Published: September 2023

The excess mortality during COVID-19 is significantly higher than the reported death due to COVID-19 infections. This study conducts a cross-sectional correlation analysis between excess mortality and reported COVID-19 death, aging rate, GHS (Global Health Security) index, and government response stringency index in the timeframe from January 2020 to September 2022. This study aims to explore the main contributors to excess mortality, hence to provide guidance on future diagnosis and control of the pandemic. A cross-sectional log-linear model is fitted with 79 observations to estimate the explanatory power of reported COVID-19 death, aging rate, GHS index and stringency index on excess mortality at a global scale. The correlation between excess mortality and reported COVID-19 death is also examined on a nation level by calculating the Spearman correlation coefficient on the time series of the two. The cross-sectional log-linear model has adjusted . The estimate for log of reported COVID death is ; aging rate is ; GHS index is ; stringency index is not significant. On a nation level, Brazil and United States have high correlations between reported and excess death (), the reported death takes up 85% and 86% respectively, of excess death. India and Japan, similarly, have high correlation coefficient (), but with COVID-19 death accounting 9% and 47% of excess death. Germany and China have relatively small correlations between reported and excess death (), but Germany has reported death taking up 89% of excess death, whereas in China the ratio is 4%. At a global scale, the reported COVID-19 death has the most explanatory power in excess mortality, which means that most of excess mortality is attributed to death from COVID-19 infections. Aging rate has a negative correlation between excess mortality, this is partly because of the preference of aged population to live in countries with better health care capacities. There is no significant explanatory power of stringency index on excess mortality, suggesting that the impact of government responses on COVID-19 vary by each nation. On a country level, the correlation between COVID-19 death and excess mortality can also vary, mostly due to the different levels of health care disruptions, efficiency and impact of government measures and other COVID-19 unrelated events such as wars and heat waves.

A Comparative Policy Analysis for Cross-border M&A between China and Africa that Advances China's Leading Position in Mining
Authors: Lei Yuting
Published: September 2023

China is still looking for resources and has recently engaged in aggressive cross-border M&A in the mining industry. Per China's 14th Five-Year Plan, the resource plan builds the foundation of China's rapid industrial development and growing economy. In recent years, it has been observed that acquisitions are focusing more on emerging markets' resources, such as Africa. Despite the negative effect of the pandemic, which cooled down cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBMAs) in the mining industry, mining M&A's strategic importance to global industrial development makes it a major area of study. This phenomenon of mining M&A becoming China's story is closely related to economic policies and regulations in China and Africa. Hence, this article develops a comparative analysis of the different procedures in China and critical geographies in Africa that affects China's unceasingly expanding mining industry through acquisitions in Africa. Through comparative research analysis, we find that Chinas One Belt One Road Initiative (BRI) promotes CBMAs and investments in Africa and reduces operational barriers in policies and technology. The CBMAs success relies on a thorough understanding of local rules, major players, and legal policies in both nations. African countries have worked to improve their mining codes and raised their devotion to ESG to attract foreign investments. The inference is that Africa still possesses a great untapped potential for Chinese investors in the mining sector who understands the local market realities and can alleviate risks.

An Analysis of Factors Affecting the Housing Market of San Jose Using MLR Model
Authors: Yang Bo
Published: September 2023

This article seeks to explain the unstable curve of housing prices in San Jose by analyzing the data of factors that may affect the housing market. By previous research conducted by other scholars, we believe there were five major factors which cause the housing prices to fluctuate, which are construction costs, total population, median income, mortgage rates and crime rates. Introducing multiple linear regression (MLR) as an approach to analyze and based on the monthly data of five-years period, from 2015 to 2019, we find an increase of mortgage rates and construction costs can lead to an increase in housing prices and other factors may not affect the housing prices as expected. However, due to lacking monthly data of certain factors like total population, we use other information associated with the factors to find an approximation of the real monthly data. Hence, while the conclusion provides certain explanations of housing prices for the buyers, it is built on many assumptions and may not perfectly fit the real behaviour of the housing market of San Jose.
