How to use big data and spatial econometric model to explain the high-quality development of western China?
Abstract:
Based on the western region from 2013 to 2020 in 11 provinces (except in Tibet) panel data, build high quality development index evaluation system, information entropy to explore the western region development, by calculation and using spatial econometric model analyzes the upgrading of human capital, industrial structure optimization, they are between the coupling effect on the quality and economic development. The results showed that :(1) the high quality development index showed that the development of Chongqing, Sichuan and Shaanxi in the western region was better, followed by Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, while the development of the remaining provinces and cities was lagging behind, showing a gradual decline from the east to the west. (2) The spatial correlation analysis of the spatial Moran index shows that there is a stable spatial dependence, mainly with "high-high" type and "low-low" type, and there is a spatial polarization trend. (3) The spatial econometric model reveals that without considering the cross-term, human capital upgrading has no significant effect on high-quality economic development, while industrial structure optimization has a significant effect on high-quality economic development. PVAR model is used to find that human capital and industrial structure have a joint effect on economic development. The SPDM model including cross term is established and it is found that the cross effect of the two has a very significant promoting effect on the high-quality economic development.

Corporate Executives’ Hometown Connections With Officials Influence Corporate Cash Holdings
Abstract:
The hometown connection is one of the crucial relationships in China’s relational society. Using the data of A-share listed companies, we examine how hometown connections between corporate executives and local government officials affect corporate cash holdings. We find that hometown connections significantly decrease corporate cash holdings. After a variety of robustness tests, this result is still significant. We also find that hometown connections do have a significant impact on corporate cash holdings in provinces with a lower marketization index. One plausible channel for the hometown connections effect is reducing preventive motivation of corporate cash holdings.

The Impact of Mental Simulation on Willingness to Pay for Online Content from the Perspective of Service Engineering.
Abstract:
This study builds a model by combining the variables such as the duration of mental simulation, content type and impulsive characteristics. On this basis, it uses empirical research methods such as scenario experiment and matched samples t-test to study the impact of mental simulation on the willingness to pay for online content in the context of digital commerce from the perspective of service engineering, and draws the following conclusions: mental simulation significantly improves users' willingness to pay for online content; For different content types, different simulation duration has different promotion effects; In the influence of mental simulation on willingness to pay, impulsive trait plays a significant role on moderation.

Do ESG Performance Mater for Trade Credit? Evidence from China
Abstract:
We investigate whether environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance affects trade credit. The result shows that better ESG performers receive more trade credit. This result remains pronounced after adopting a two-way fixed effects model, using alternative definitions of trade credit and ESG performance, addressing endogeneity issues using an instrumental variable, and considering exogenous shock of the mandatory discourse of ESG performance. Our channel analysis shows that ESG performance draws more attention from analysts and alleviates information asymmetry. We further find that the positive impact of ESG performance on trade credit is more pronounced for firms with better supplier relationship and firms with rapid corporate growth. Overall, our findings provide new evidence that ESG performance is crucial in signaling the willingness of suppliers to provide trade credit for downstream firms.

How about farmers' Entrepreneurship promotes household consumption: logical approach and CFPS empirical analysis
Abstract:
As a critical focus to establish the new development pattern, consumption upgrade in rural areas is inextricably connected with the entrepreneurial activities of the countryside. However, as an investment behavior, entrepreneurship crowd out consumption or inhibit consumption due to failure? there is still a lack of mechanism and empirical analysis about whether entrepreneurship will diverse consumption and promote rural consumption upgrade. Therefore, based on the absolute income theory and hierarchy of needs theory, the paper expounds the functional mechanism from the entrepreneurship of farmers, operational income, family consumption and adjustment by the risk attitude, and validates models of threshold regression and PSM with the data of CFPS-2018. As is indicated in the findings, firstly, the consumption level of entrepreneurial farmers is 18.9% higher than the non-entrepreneurial farmers on average, which can promote the upgrade of developmental consumption but not the enjoying type. What's more, it is descending from the western parts to the middle and eastern parts in the areas. Secondly, the operational income exerts the partial function as an intermediary agent while the risk attitude exploits negative regulation. Risk seekers prefer "delayed enjoyment" while the risk evaders tend to "enjoy pleasure in good time". Thirdly, there is a threshold for the net profit of consumption in entrepreneurship. When the net profit is over 90 thousand yuan, family consumption promoted by entrepreneurship will be improved from 16.6% to 71.4%. On this basis, the paper proposes suggestions to improve the entrepreneurial service and platform construction, develop an entrepreneurial organization with the net profit which is 6 times of the average per capita income, establish a management system for the double risks of social guarantee and agricultural insurance, and facilitate the descending of development consumption. Furthermore, the paper makes contributions to starting from the microcosmic aspect of risk attitude, summarizing the functional mechanism for the influence of entrepreneurship on consumption, further expanding the strategic functions of entrepreneurship for farmers and exploring a new path for promoting rural consumption.

Speech Title: The influence of housing investment agglomeration on housing price and habitability
Abstract:
Housing consumption is the most practical livelihood issue related to people's lives, and the changes in housing prices show certain spatial linkages and mutual influence dynamics. This paper analyzes the spatial distribution of residential investment and housing prices using relevant data of 269 cities in China for the past 20 years, establishes a measure of residential investment agglomeration, establishes a spatial econometric model on this basis, studies the influence of residential investment agglomeration on urban housing prices under the setting of a multidimensional spatial weight matrix, and verifies the influence of residential investment agglomeration on urban housing prices through urban livability and market expectations on housing prices. Finally, the regional heterogeneity of the direct spatial effects and spillover effects is tested. The results show that: residential investment and housing prices in Chinese cities have significant spatial correlation; residential investment.
agglomeration has a significant positive contribution to local housing prices and a significant positive spillover effect on surrounding areas; urban livability and market expectations have a moderating effect on housing prices. In terms of regional heterogeneity, residential investment agglomeration shows positive direct and spillover effects on housing prices in the eastern and central regions; positive direct effects and insignificant spillover effects in the western and northeastern regions; livability factors have positive moderating effects on local housing prices in the eastern and central regions, and negative moderating effects on local housing prices in the northeastern region. The market expectation factor positively moderates local housing prices in the eastern and northeastern regions, and insignificantly in the central and western regions. The results of this study suggest that the heterogeneity and spatial correlation of the micro market should be taken into account in addition to the macro level, so as to realize the "linkage" of housing price regulation and avoid the emergence of the waterbed effect.
