With the development of urbanization and the expansion of floating populations, rental housing has become an increasingly common living choice for many people, and housing rental prices have attracted great attention from individuals, enterprises and the government. The housing rental prices are principally estimated based on structural, locational and neighborhood variables, among which the relationships are complicated and can hardly be captured entirely by simple one-dimensional models; in addition, the influence of the geographic objects on the price may vary with the increase in their quantities. However, existing pricing models usually take those structural, locational and neighborhood variables as one-dimensional inputs into neural networks, and often neglect the aggregated effects of geographical objects, which may lead to fluctuating rental price estimations. Therefore, this paper proposes a rental housing price model based on the convolutional neural network (CNN) and the synthetic spatial density of points of interest (POIs). The CNN can efficiently extract the complex characteristics among the relevant variables of housing, and the two-dimensional locational and neighborhood variables, based on the synthetic spatial density, effectively reflect the aggregated effects of the urban facilities on rental housing prices, thereby improving the accuracy of the model. Taking Wuhan, China, as the study area, the proposed method achieves satisfactory and accurate rental price estimations (coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.9097, root mean square error (RMSE) = 3.5126) in comparison with other commonly used pricing models.

The soaring housing prices in Malaysia is not a recent issue. It is a global phenomenon especially in developing and developed countries, driven by factors including land price, location, construction materials cost, demand, and speculation. This issue demands immediate attention as it affects the younger generation, most of whom could not afford to buy their own house. The government has taken many initiatives and introduced regulations to ensure that housing prices are within the affordable range. This article aims to introduce a housing price control element from the Shariah perspective, as an alternative solution for all parties involved in this issue. It adopts content analysis methodology on policy from Shariah approved sources.

Housing is by far the most important asset in Chinese households’ balance sheets. However, despite forceful and frequent government interventions, the rise in Chinese housing prices has not been contained as much as intended, a trend that has not been reversed by the COVID-19 shock. In this paper, we first provide some stylized facts and then a DSGE model (encompassing both demand and supply channels) to highlight the impact of a “slow-moving” structural vulnerability—financial market incompleteness—on China’s housing prices. The model implies that to eradicate the root causes of the rising housing price, policymakers need to go beyond the housing market itself; instead, it would be desirable to deepen financial markets because these markets would help channel financial resources to productive sectors rather than to housing speculation. This is particularly important in the COVID era because without addressing this structural vulnerability, the higher household savings and the government stimulus may fuel the housing bubble and sow seeds for a future crisis. The paper can also shed light on the housing markets in other economies that face similar vulnerabilities.

In recent decade years, the real-estate industry in China has achieved unprecedented development. Correspondingly, the rapid rise in house prices has led the government to introduce a series of macro-control policies. Based on the main regulatory mechanism of the purchase restriction policy, we take Haikou as an example to analysis the probable influence on housing price. We first select indicators from three aspects: supply, demand, and macroeconomic environment, and then establish a gray correlation model to extract the key factors of strong correlation, that is, real- estate investment, CPI, residential housing construction area, residential housing completion area. Moreover, we establish a multiple linear regression model based on GM (1, n) to obtain the multi-function relationship between commercial housing prices and these four key indicators. After that, we establish a population- purchases demand function model to predict the price of commercial housing in the coming year after introducing the purchase restriction policy. More significantly, we conclude that the purchase restriction policy can effectively regulate housing prices in the short term, but the long-term effect is limit.

Accurately determining the nutritional status of plants can prevent many diseases caused by fertilizer disorders. Leaf analysis is one of the most used methods for this purpose. However, in order to get a more accurate result, disorders must be identified before symptoms appear. Therefore, this study aims to identify leaves with excessive nitrogen using one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D-CNN) on a dataset of spectral data using the Keras library. Seeds of cucumber were planted in several pots and, after growing the plants, they were divided into different classes of control (without excess nitrogen), N30% (excess application of nitrogen fertilizer by 30%), N60% (60% overdose), and N90% (90% overdose). Hyperspectral data of the samples in the 400–1100 nm range were captured using a hyperspectral camera. The actual amount of nitrogen for each leaf was measured using the Kjeldahl method. Since there were statistically significant differences between the classes, an individual prediction model was designed for each class based on the 1D-CNN algorithm. The main innovation of the present research resides in the application of separate prediction models for each class, and the design of the proposed 1D-CNN regression model. The results showed that the coefficient of determination and the mean squared error for the classes N30%, N60% and N90% were 0.962, 0.0005; 0.968, 0.0003; and 0.967, 0.0007, respectively. Therefore, the proposed method can be effectively used to detect over-application of nitrogen fertilizers in plants.

This paper develops a theoretical model for equilibrium rent-to-price ratios from the competition between households and investors in the housing market. Households make their housing tenure choice in terms of rent vs. buy such as minimizing the cost of occupying a housing unit. On the other hand, investors choose between investing in rental housing vs. other investment opportunities in order to maximize their net present value. In the face of limited housing inventory, households and investors bid against one another which determines the allocation of the housing units among households (owner occupied properties) and investors (rental properties). We derive the sensitivity of the equilibrium rent-to-price ratio with respect to various market parameters, and subsequently analyze their potential impacts on the homeownership rate in the community. We show that some government mortgage programs subsidize homeownership to increase the affordability of owning a house, but may also provide even more incentive to the housing investors. Unless the government can effectively control the eligibility of borrowers, such affordable mortgage programs could work against their objectives and lead to higher housing prices and lower homeownership rates. Our model framework can be used to analyze the potential impacts of some of the new affordable housing policies on house prices or homeownership rates before adopting them.

This study aims to examine the influence of investment returns and Risk Based Capital (RBC) Tabarru Funds to the profit of sharia life insurance in Indonesia from 2014-2019. This study The type of this research is quantitative research with descriptive verification as a method. This research method uses descriptive verification method with quantitative approach. The data used in this study were sourced from the financial statements of Islamic life insurance companies in Indonesia for the 2014-2019 period. Then the data obtained were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis and hypothesis testing consisting of t test and f test with the help of SPSS 21 software. The sampling technique uses non probability sampling with purposive sampling technique. Based on the results of the study it can be seen that the development of investment returns on Sharia Life Insurance in Indonesia has fluctuated and even suffered losses. While the development of Risk Based Capital (RBC) has increased and decreased but overall above 120% as determined by the government. Likewise, the profits earned in each year fluctuate. The results of statistical tests show that investment results partially have a positive effect on profit and Risk Based Capital (RBC) of Tabarru funds partially has a negative effect on profit. Simultaneously investment return and Risk Based Capital (RBC) affect on profit. In addition, the results of the coefficient of determination (R2) were obtained which obtained a value of 81%. This shows that the variable investment returns and Risk Based Capital (RBC) can affect earnings by 81% and the remaining 19% is influenced by other variables not used in this study.
