Forecasting Chinese Sports Industry Revenue from 2024 to 2030: A Comparative Model Analysis
Article thumbnail
In the past decades, the rapid development of the sports economy has become one of the most important factors in China’s economy. This research uses three mathematical models to predict the specific revenue of China's sports industry from 2024 to 2030. The Grey Theory Prediction Model and the recursive algorithm were used in previous research to make revenue forecasts. The research and comparison indicate a large difference between the real income and the predicted results of the models. This paper proposed a novel predicting method improved by the ARMAX-BP prediction model. The results show that the predicted result of ARMAX-BP is much more accurate than the first two models on the revenue forecast of the sports industry from 2010 to 2020. The prediction model can help sports investors plan their careers and investments precisely.

Local Debt and Social Welfare in China: Evidence from Zhejiang and Anhui
Article thumbnail
Currently local government debt is a major concern for all sectors of society, but there is still a debate about the relationship between local government debt and social welfare. This paper addresses the question of the impact of local debt and social welfare in China, using a case study of data from Zhejiang and Anhui from 2014-2019 to qualitatively analyze the impact of local debt and social welfare in four dimensions: consumption, infrastructure, education, and health. The results found that: first, the growth of local debt has an inverted U-shaped impact on residents' welfare, which is manifested in the fact that before the size of local debt reaches the critical value, the increase of local debt can enhance social welfare, but after exceeding the critical value, the increase of local debt makes social welfare decline; second, in terms of sub-welfare index factors, there are different correlation degrees between different factors and the indicators of local debt, and thus have different characteristics of development at different stages are characterized by different developments.

Research on the Effects of Environmental Policies on Enterprise Transformation and Green Taxation: A Case Study of Local Governments in 31 Provinces of China
Article thumbnail
China's economic development is at a unique stage of new-type transformation, with increasing demands for the quality of economic development. Environmental fiscal and tax policies are widely recognized as crucial tools for promoting enterprise transformation and green taxation. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to "improve the fiscal, financial, investment, price policies, and standards that support green development." Fiscal policy is the foundation and important pillar of national governance, and the fiscal and tax system is a critical support and basic means to promote green and low-carbon development. This paper analyzes cross-sectional data from 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in China for the year 2022. By constructing and testing an OLS regression model, the study uses the environmental tax as a representative of the tax regulation for green development of enterprises, analyzing its influencing factors and effects. The paper provides relevant suggestions for enterprise green transformation and tax avoidance based on literature review and model results.

International Regulatory Experience and Enlightenment on Non-Legal Tender Digital Currency from the Perspective of the Kame Framework
Based on the current imperfect regulatory system for non-legal digital currencies in China, this article focuses on the regulation of non-legal digital currencies, exploring regulatory paths and models suitable for China’s national conditions based on the regulatory experiences of typical foreign countries. The renowned law and economics theory framework—the Coase-Meade framework—is adopted to analyze the overall regulatory model of non-legal digital currency regulation abroad. Firstly, based on the applicability value of the Coase-Meade framework to the subject of this study, typical countries such as Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and South Korea are analyzed under the Coase-Meade framework’s prohibition and transaction rules, property rules, and liability rules to clarify their legal characterization of non-legal digital currencies and explore regulatory paths in terms of legal, financial, and technological regulation. Next, the characteristics of foreign regulatory models are reviewed, including scenario-based regulation, centralized regulation, and categorized regulation. Finally, drawing on China’s current prohibition stance and overseas practical experience, the article preliminarily clarifies the legal attributes of non-legal digital currencies. Then, it constructs a regulatory framework suitable for the country from the perspectives of principles, priorities, and methods based on the chosen paths of typical countries. Additionally, it emphasizes the clarity of regulatory responsibilities for regulatory agencies and the establishment of other self-regulatory bodies to enhance the coordination of domestic regulatory entities. Furthermore, it actively explores international cooperation to strengthen international coordination in regulation, enhancing China’s international influence and discourse power.
