Research on the Coupled and Coordinated Development of Tourism Informatization and Regional Tourism Economy in Jilin Province
This study is focused on developing an integrated coordination model designed to conduct an empirical assessment of the evaluation metrics and their respective weights concerning the tourism sector and regional economic growth in Jilin Province. By analyzing the level of coupling and coordination between these two domains, the findings indicate that, although the coordination level currently falls within the expected range, it remains suboptimal. This is primarily due to the relatively modest comprehensive evaluation scores of both the tourism informatization framework and the regional tourism economic system. To improve the level of coordination, this paper suggests several strategic measures. These include enhancing investments in information technology infrastructure and fostering the development of specialized talent. Such measures aim to effectively advance the synchronized development of the tourism sector and regional economic progress in Jilin Province.

A Study on Enterprise Risk Management in the Chinese Context
Article thumbnail
The establishment of the market economy, accompanied by the emergence of risks, requires enterprises to consider not only the economy and profitability but also the risk. Therefore, enterprise risk management problems arise. Many developed countries see risk management, strategic management, and operation management as the three main management functions of modern economic organizations, which will become a critical factor in the competitiveness of businesses in the future. Therefore, the paper reviews the development of traditional risk management theory, financial risk management theory, and internal control theory, with a focus on Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). After analyzing the current situation of ERM in Chinese enterprises, the paper proposes suggestions for improving risk management methods, strengthening the internal control system, and enhancing staff quality. Finally, the paper emphasizes the importance of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) development in China and suggests the need for a risk management system tailored to the country’s specific circumstances.

The Dual Leverage and Mechanism of ESG Information Disclosure on Investor Behavior
With the global emphasis on sustainable development, ESG information disclosure has become a key factor for investors to assess corporate value and risk. The academic value of this paper lies in an in-depth analysis of the reverse effect, which is not mentioned in most literature. It stands from the perspective of investors' investment purposes and interests, the attitudes of long-term investors who desire sustainable development and short-term investors who only care about immediate returns in a short period when facing ESG information disclosure. On the other hand, there are negative impacts on investors due to reasons such as government policy standards or the level of corporate ESG information disclosure itself, which may also prevent investors from achieving their expected goals, leading to investment risks and ultimately investors may flow out of the company. At the same time, some external factors can also lead to a dual leverage effect, such as the economic slowdown caused by the pandemic.

In recent years, accounting fraud has become more and more serious due to the irregularities of accountants' basic professional ethics, which has affected the development of the social market economy. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen the construction of accounting professional ethics, improve the moral standard of accountants, resolutely crack down on false accounts, standardize the order of our accounting market and eliminate corruption.

This article delves into the ethical standards of accounting practitioners in China and explores the reasons for this phenomenon from different perspectives. Through this work, it proposes some effective measures to promote the fairness and transparency of China's accounting work and create a healthy financial environment for society.

Prediction of the Effectiveness of Deferred Retirement in the Labor Market Performance in China
The analytical document touching upon the prospects of how delaying retirement affects labor market ability in China reveals some crucial information about the implications of the retirement age policy modifications. This test may indicate that the retirement age raise would be a huge factor in China's labor market status, such as employment level and national pension funds. Apart from this, the paper is a reminder for the authorities to have a broad policy discussion on diverse fiscal consequences that different retirement age policies may cause like wage inflexibility, disposable labor issues, and the aging population. These results demonstrate that the simulation should be considered for its interplay with individuals' lives as well as for the macro economy. To scrutinize the efficacy of postponing retirement within China's employment market performance, it's critical to deploy some economic theories. The first method involves the insights from both the Beveridge curve and job creation curve to dissect the nuances of job turnover rates, opportunities for finding new jobs, and their influence on unemployment figures. Delving deeper into pension fund ramifications necessitates assessing the shift from Defined Contribution (DC) schemes towards Defined Benefit (DB) plans, while also taking stock of how dependency ratios come into play. Moreover, gauging effects on incremental labor productivity alongside capital-to-labor ratio calls for an expansive view that considers changes across various industrial sectors and their broader consequences on the labor market as a whole.
