The purpose of our study is to delve into how the Clean Water Act influenced the United States economy. We used some secondary research such as results from previous studies, textbooks, relevant news articles, published academic research papers, government legal documents, and statistical databases. By using this solid data which was published on the government legal documents, we can ensure the accuracy of this data. We found the results of the Clean Water Act (CWA) are controversial, and they are two-sided. However, The CWA now looks like a pretty successful act. In 1972 the United States administration enacted the CWA to restrict the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States and regulation of surface water quality standards [12]. So our research question is how the Clean Water Act influenced the United States economy both beneficial and harmful. Previous studies have shown that the Clean Water Act actually has improved the economy drastically which we will talk about later. But there are some critics who examine the realistic aspect of the huge funds used to support this legislation which could be harmful to the economy.

The logo represents the image and philosophy of the company and is also part of the business strategy. In this way, we focus on what is a good brand logo and how to get a ‘Gorgeous’ brand logo.

How do we understand the new kind of classic? How does the details of the logo give people psychological hints? What are some detailed designs you didn’t notice? you will get all of these answers in this passage.

This paper is aimed to describe the application of value framing in communication CSR. Value framing is the process of connecting an issue to deeply held values. This paper's goal is to outline the method of testing how the framing of CSR messaging, which it has a value-theoretical foundation, affects how consumers perceive the CSR message. With this study, further research into how value-based framing tactics affect consumers' perceptions of CSR messaging could be started. Determine the degree of common ground between businesses and their customers by having a solid understanding of the value-theoretical foundations and values' capacity for explanation in connection to CSR communication. The final aim of co-creating values between businesses and their customers may then be accomplished, as evidenced by research that shows how trustworthiness may be increased, scepticism can be reduced through CSR communication, and so forth.

The idea of a new transportation paradigm consisting of shared, multi-passenger vehicles has emerged along with the introduction of partly autonomous automobiles. As such a transformative but untested idea, the amount of existing research regarding this topic is limited. However, there are certainly discussions focused on individual elements of this topic and testing on a small scale: Driverless cars, shared vehicles, multi-passenger travel, etc. From these scattered papers, our team was able to compile the main problems with the current transportation paradigm and the potential benefits of the new sharing paradigm that we are advocating for. In this paper, we addressed four problems with the current paradigm and devised solutions for each problem via the benefits of the new sharing paradigm. Although we were unable to collect tentative data due to technological limitations, we gathered any research we could to simulate a world where the sharing transportation paradigm is adopted at a large scale, demonstrating the efficacy of the new paradigm in solving current pressing issues with a concentration on improving the environment both in cities and in general.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the yield and the degree of overlap of Snowball and its underlying asset, especially under the volatile financial market in recent China. China’s snowball product market has grown rapidly since 2018 and the outstanding size of such product is around 150 billion yuan in 2022. In this report, structure of Snowball product is divided into four typical situations, which are briefly introduced through a hypothetical case. In addition, this report reviews the historical data of the CSI 500 Index and digs into the trends of the stock market in China, hoping to find supporting evidence for the relationships between the yield and the degree of overlap, followed by the comparison of the yields of direct invest in CSI 500 Index and invest in Snowball products in different market conditions. The discussion of the returns and degree of overlap for different investment choices is limited; therefore, some possible suggestions and solutions are provided for market participants.

Behavioral economics blends psychology and economics to determine how psychological triggers or nudges influence people's decision-making. The decoy effect has been a particular focus of study in the behavioral economics literature. The decoy effect is seen as an effective "Nudge" and is widely used by businesses. For example, magazine subscriptions, vacation destination choices, and sales of various products—where there is a choice, there is an arena for nudges. The marketplace is flooded with nudges to influence consumer choice; in everyday consumption, many businesses use the decoy effect to maximize sales of specific products or options to increase revenue. Based on a review of the relevant literature and practical case applications of the decoy effect, this study summarizes articles with similar conclusions which can support each other while also mentioning different views regarding the limitations and disagreements of the decoy effect in behavioral economics. However, in general, the effects carried by decoys are apparent and have been confirmed by a large amount of literature.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index (VIX) is a measurement of volatility in the stock market, which is closely associated with the return of the risk premium. This paper categorized the monthly log returns of VIX by Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) and investigates the driving factors of VIX among the Equity Market Volatility (EMV) trackers under different regimes using the elastic net linear regression model. As a result of categorization, two regimes in log returns of VIX are found. Regime 1 with a lower mean covers most of the months, while regime 2 with a higher mean captures the months of extreme log returns. In months of both regimes, the policy-related factor significantly and independently affects VIX. Another factor that largely affects VIX in regime 1 is the macroeconomy and other factors have little impact on VIX in regime 1. Infectious disease, policy, and government related factors are more important in affecting VIX in regime 2.

In the online Consumer to Consumer (C2C) market for commodities, buyers and sellers have a propensity to value a commodity differently, resulting in disparate pricing expectations and a resulting dispute. In addition, it is debatable if the valuation difference still remains when purchasing and selling behavior occurs outside of C2C platforms. This study sought to determine the extent to which the endowment effect affects prices in the online C2C commodities market for overseas Chinese students. Using questionnaires to collect data, this study discovered a price disparity between buyers and sellers of pre-owned commodities. Nonetheless, it has been shown that it is doubtful whether ownership plays a major influence in the outcome, as no participant has stated that ownership is an essential aspect in determining pricing. This research concluded that buyers and sellers have different valuations. However, the extent to which it is purely owing to the endowment effect is debatable. Based on the findings, this study recommended that C2C platforms establish a "bridge" that helps both buyers and sellers better understand the other's perspective.

Emission trading systems (ETS) contribute to economic efficiency by facilitating emission reductions where it is cheapest to achieve them. Polluters who would find it costly to reduce their emissions can buy emission allowances from polluters that can abate at lower costs. Through the comparison between the carbon trading market of the EU and China and an overview of each market, including key strategies and market performance, the reasons why China's designed its carbon trading market most suitable for its economy, along with the edges and costs of each market will be analyzed. This study indicates that China's current ETS design is beneficial for its current economic development; however, this design limits technological developments in renewable energy and transformations in economic structure. This will impact China's economic development in the future.
