The impacts of dual carbon goals on asset prices in China

In this paper, we study the impacts of dual carbon goals on asset prices in China. Using the speech of President Jinping Xi on 22 September 2020 as an event in which the dual carbon goals are formally announced, we find that stocks with green concept have superior performance in the post-event window relative to non-green stocks. In particular, a portfolio that longs green stocks and shorts non-green stocks can generate an average monthly return above 3%. The official announcement of dual carbon goals not only attracts attention of investors, resulting in higher institutional ownership and trading volume for green stocks, but also improves fundamentals for green stocks in the post-event window.     

Is environmental labeling certification a “green passport” for firm exports in emerging economies? Evidence from China

As the demand for more environmentally friendly products continues to increase, environmental label certification (ELC), as a voluntary environmental practice (VEP), has become a commonly used strategy by firms responding the green demands of the international market. While ELC is playing an increasingly important role in global trade, how ELC affects firms’ exports, especially how it affects the exports of those firms in emerging economies, remains unknown. This study explores the impact of ELC on firms’ exports. Insights are provided from resource-based views (RBV) by analysing China's A-share listed manufacturing firms to estimate the impact of China's ELC on exports. Our empirical results show that ELC can promote firms’ exports, because ELC emphasizes firms to reduce pollutant from the source, thereby, brings about cost advantage and green product differentiated advantage to boost high-quality exports. Using a series of robustness tests, we provide corroborating evidence for our hypotheses. The export-enhancing effect of ELC is impacted by the institutional context of emerging economies, as specialized market intermediaries and greater openness to the global market strengthen the export-enhancing effect of ELC. This research not only contributes to the literature, but also provides a reference for policy-makers and managers in using ELC to develop green trade.     

The consequence of possessions: Self-identity,extended self,psychological ownership and probabilities of purchase for pet’s fashion clothing

This research attempts to exemplify whether pets ascribed as possessions can be regarded, as part of our selves, i.e., a metaphoric relationship with pets, by examining the dynamic relationship between beliefs, extended self, self-identity concerning possessions, and psychological ownership.This study extends the literature by developing a conceptual model asserting that probabilities of purchase for pets, in particular, are contingent on possessions and the extended self. A sample of 326 pet owners was selected, and by using SEM, the direct and indirect relationships were explored. Self-identity and beliefs were significantly associated with psychological control and the extended self, however, beliefs were negatively related to the probabilities of purchase. The extended self and the psychological ownership demonstrated mediating relationships. The study contributes to an understanding of the theoretical relationship between the role of possessions and provides scholars and retail practitioners with an understanding of probabilities of purchase for pet fashions.     

Achieving value co-creation through cooperation in international joint ventures: A two-level perspective

How can international joint ventures (IJVs) enhance value co-creation? Using a resource-based view (RBV), this study examines whether partners’ cultural compatibility and parent companies’ asset complementarity foster top-level cooperation and/or operating-level cooperation in IJVs and investigates the underlying mechanisms (i.e., top-level goal alignment and operating-level goal alignment) in IJV relationships. This study also scrutinizes the differing impacts of top-level and operating-level cooperation on value co-creation in IJVs. The findings from a survey of 200 IJVs in China show that partners’ cultural compatibility positively affects top-level cooperation primarily through top-level goal alignment, while asset complementarity positively affects operating-level cooperation through operating-level goal alignment. Furthermore, operating-level cooperation has a stronger effect on value co-creation than top-level cooperation. This study offers fresh insights into IJV cooperation and value co-creation by introducing a two-level perspective and provides important managerial implications for the development of sustainable IJVs.

Islamic and conventional portfolios optimization under investor sentiment states: Bayesian vs Markowitz portfolio analysis

This paper investigates the portfolio optimization under investor’s sentiment states of Hidden Markov model and over a different time horizon during the period 2004–2016. To compare the efficient portfolios of the Islamic and the conventional stock indexes, we have employed two approaches: the Bayesian and Markowitz mean-variance. Our findings reveal that the Bayesian efficient frontier of Islamic and conventional stock portfolios is affected by the investor’s sentiment state and the time horizon. Our findings also indicate that the investor’s sentiment regimes change the Islamic and the conventional optimal diversified portfolios.Moreover, the results show that the potential diversification benefits seem to be more important when using the Bayesian approach than when applying the Markowitz approach. This finding is valid for the bearish, depressed, bullish and calm states in Islamic stock markets. However, the diversification of potential portfolios is significant only for the bullish and the bubble states in the conventional financial markets.The findings of the study provided additional evidence for investors to exploit googling investor sentiment states to evaluate the portfolio performance and make an optimal portfolio allocation.     

劳动价值论之形而上学色彩辨析

作为马克思主义政治经济学理论基础的劳动价值论是一种形而上学的思辨公设还是经验事实基础上的科学抽象,这是一个在马克思主义政治经济学发展史上早已被论及,如今又出现在由现实经济问题所引发的争论中的问题。通过对相关问题的深入分析,而特别是对商业部门、农业部门以及工业部门生产劳动的深入分析,认为取得"普照的光"存在形式的机器工业部门才是马克思劳动价值论的产业基础,从而有力地证明了劳动价值论并不是形而上学的思辨公设,而是经验事实基础上的科学抽象。

论中国双重身份的困境与应对

国际体系作为行为体的互动所形成的整体结构,是中国实施对外政策的环境与舞台。在国际体系中,身份是决定中国的利益、立场和实现利益之途径的一个基本因素。中国长期以来一直强调自己是一个发展中国家,但随着国力的增强,在当今正日益被视为一个大国。由于发展中国家与大国参与国际互动有迥异的机制与结果,因此中国面对着双重身份的困境。事实上,中国被赋予的大国形象和外部世界针对中国所开始的权力政治互动,已使得中国面对的国际环境凸显了消极的影响。要破解这一困境,中国一方面需要从主观上认清自己的真实身份和不同互动机制的影响,另一方面则需要恰当解决客观上两种机制并存所带来的困扰。在对外关系中,中国需要应对国际体系所内含的权力政治、国际制度与观念建构等主要影响机制,适宜地开展实力外交、制度外交和公共外交。中国只有利用体系的系统效应,趋利避害,处理好实力的发展与运用以及国家形象的塑造问题,才能更好地实现国家发展的目标。     

货币政策透明性制度的国际比较:以央行沟通方式为基调

自20世纪90年代末期以来,世界绝大多数央行的货币政策透明性有了显著提高,但是未表现出一致性收敛特征。各国央行的货币政策信息沟通面临着不同程度的现实约束,有的央行在某些方面透明性还非常有限。在央行信息沟通方面还有许多值得研究的策略性、细节性技巧,处理不当就可能损害央行信誉。我国货币政策透明度还处于较低水平,需要进一步提高。
