Research on the Relationship Between Equity Structure and Corporate Performance of Internet Industry Listed Companies
With the high-quality development of the socio-economic landscape and under the support of national policies, the internet industry has rapidly emerged. In the era of the internet, the development potential and prospects of listed companies in the internet sector are closely related to the overall trend of societal development. The equity structure of a company is the cornerstone of corporate governance and thus affects the company's operational performance. Therefore, this paper conducts an empirical analysis to explore the relationship between the equity structure and corporate performance of listed companies in the internet sector from two dimensions: the nature of equity and the concentration of equity, in hopes of providing references for the sound development of listed companies in the internet industry.

Research on the Obstacles, Practical Challenges, and Strategies for Digital Transformation of Small and Medium-sized Manufacturing Enterprises in China
In the wave of digitalization where “smart manufacturing” has become a mainstream trend, there are immense growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing industry. However, given the characteristics of “small, weak, and scattered” nature of SMEs, digital transformation still faces many obstacles and challenges from a professional, investment, and practical implementation perspective. There are many difficulties in practice. This paper proposes routes and strategies for SMEs to undergo digital transformation from the perspectives of talent cultivation structure, industry differences, policy formulation during implementation, data security issues, and further improvement of relevant laws and regulations. It is suggested that enterprises should formulate and implement more comprehensive and long-term digital strategic plans based on their own actual situations. Governments should also focus on supporting SMEs’ digital transformation in various aspects such as talent cultivation, policy support, laws, and regulations. Together, we should promote technological innovation and talent cultivation to lay a solid foundation for successful transformation.

Analysis of LV Stocks Based on Linear Regression, Random Forest and XGBoost
Article thumbnail
As a matter of fact, the outbreak of the global phenomenon of large-scale infectious disease in early 2020 (i.e., Covid-19) has brought great impact to the global economic market. This study will investigate LV stock prices during Covid-19 based on linear regression, random forest and XGBoost models. As one of the most severely affected industries, this study selects the most representative and socially influential brand Louis Vuitton as investigation target. Different machine learning models have been used in stock price prediction at the beginning of the epidemic outbreak, combining the eigenvalues of the market panic index and the epidemic related situation when the time series is close to a random walk. To evaluate the models, MSE and R-squared error are used to compare the degree of fit of the model. According to the analysis, the stock price prediction models will have better performance on the basis of considering the market sentiment and the epidemic situation.

Based on the Success of Hogeweyk, Dutch "Amnesia town", Which Can Be Used for Reference in China's Retirement Town Industry -- A Case Study of Wuzhen Yayuan
Under the background of rural revitalization strategy, small towns featuring "old-age care" have emerged. However, the development of retirement towns in our country,China,started late, and the current situation of assimilation is more serious. It is a very important issue to solve.Through comparative analysis of the characteristics of Wuzhen Yayuan and Hogeweyk Town in the Netherlands, the paper explains the feasibility of the pilot of the Dutch Hogeweyk model in Wuzhen Yayuan, discusses the reference significance brought by the successful experience of Hogeweyk town to Wuzhen Yayuan, and provides the world view and methodology for the development of domestic elderly care town industry. With the high-quality development of China's economy, the circular development model of Hogeweyk should be the development trend of the domestic elderly care town industry.

Pathways and Innovative Mechanisms for Achieving Urban Carbon Neutrality
Article thumbnail
This paper discusses the problems of the traditional carbon emissions trading mechanism, such as failing to effectively incorporate carbon sinks into the carbon market and failing to adequately incentivise the economic and ecological development of cities, and proposes a new urban carbon neutral trading system to solve these problems. The new urban carbon neutral trading system is based on the city as a unit, and by fully integrating carbon sinks into the trading system, it adopts the market mechanism to regulate the balance between carbon emissions and carbon sinks, so as to realise the coordinated development of the urban economy and the green environment. In addition, this study develops a comprehensive evaluation index system for urban carbon neutrality, and uses big data and intelligent analysis techniques to improve the accuracy and real-time performance of urban carbon management. These innovations not only help strengthen urban environmental management, but also promote urban economic transformation and provide theoretical support for sustainable regional economic growth.

Allocation under Justice
Article thumbnail
This paper addresses the problem of allocating 30 unclaimed items to researchers in a fair manner. Five definitions of fairness are derived, considering philosophical, social, and economic aspects. A quantitative evaluation system is established to measure fairness. The allocation is then evaluated using this system. Foundational models, based on zero-one integer linear programming, are developed for each definition. Social interactions between researchers are incorporated into the models, including competition, collaboration, and an auction model. The second section introduces the concept of item relationships, as the value of items can be enhanced when certain items are possessed together. Matrices are used to represent these relationships, making the model more applicable to real-world situations. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to assess the accuracy of each model. The coding implements linear programming and analysis, presenting the results in various visual forms. After refining the model, distributions are calculated using different models and compared. The model is then applied to distribute items among five researchers, and multiple fairness assessments are conducted based on different definitions. The results indicate that, out of four definitions (sixteen in total), two are fair, one is relatively fair, and one is unfair. In conclusion, this paper utilizes linear programming to evaluate fairness in allocation scenarios. The model is refined with adjustments such as mutual interactions, auctions, item interdependencies, and relationships. It provides a comprehensive assessment of fairness and offers practical insights for decision-makers when addressing allocation issues, not only for this particular problem but also for similar situations in society.

Exploring the Macro Impact on China's Economy in the Post-epidemic Era and the Russia-Ukraine Conflict and the Countermeasures
in contemporary times, the global economy has witnessed increased interconnectivity. This also means that in the context of the global economy, China is more susceptible to the influence of external factors. In recent years, the COVID-19, which has spread widely around the world, has severely impacted the development of China's real economy with its high infectivity and uncertainty. At the same time, due to the geopolitical impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China's major imports of fertilizers from Russia and cereals from Ukraine have been weakened. Finding ways to cope with the weakening of the economy has become a top priority in line with the development trend. The study suggests that top priority is to increase the diversity of food production and increase the diversification of national food reserves. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the country's strategic energy reserves to reduce external dependence and prevent future problems. Externally, China are supposed to strive to build a global economic community, strengthen international cooperation, and be able to "learn from the enemy and learn from the enemy".
