Motivated by the observation of three long-existing phenomena in the ChiNext market which are high issuing prices, high price-earnings ratios, and strikingly high capital raised in IPOs this study empirically examines whether underwriters reflect fair attitudes toward, and treatment of, different stakeholders through accurate pricing and whether the attitude varies with different underwriter reputations. We do this by investigating whether the extent of underpricing is significantly reduced by underwriter reputation. We find that the role of underwriter reputation as a mechanism of disciplining opportunistic behavior and as a third-party certification is muted. Although underwriter reputation is still highly correlated with offering price, underwriter reputation doesnt lower underpricing effectively. Underwriters simply take advantage of their reputation for their selfish interests, which unethically damages stock investment returns, especially for the small and middle shareholders. We conclude that underwriters do not exhibit good business ethics to promote fair pricing in ChiNext IPOs.

Using a simulated stock investment system we examined the relationship between investors' emotions and their investment returns, and the moderating effect of personality and situation in a stock market. Participants were undergraduate students from 6 universities. The results showed that: (a) investors' positive emotions were positively correlated with investment returns in a market with a unilaterally rising price, and the moderating effect of extraversion was significant; (b) investors' negative emotions were negatively correlated with investment returns in a market with a unilaterally falling price, and the moderating effect of neuroticism was significant.

Pennsylvania is one of a number of U.S. states that provide incentives for the generation of electricity by solar energy through Solar Renewal Energy Credits (SRECs). This article develops a return on investment model for solar energy generation in the PJM (mid-­Atlantic) region of the United States. Model results indicate that SREC values of roughly $150 are needed for residential scale systems to break even over a 25-­year project period at 3% interest. Market prices for SRECs in Pennsylvania have been well below this range from late 2011 through the first half of 2016, indicating that previous capital investments in solar generation have been stranded as a result of steep declines in the value of SRECs. A simple conceptual supply and demand model is developed to explain the sharp decline in market prices for SRECs. Also discussed is a possible policy remedy that would add unsold SRECs in a given year to the SREC quota for the subsequent year.
