This paper describe an approach to optimize the economy of electric vehicles’fast charging station investment with service satisfaction be constraints. An optimized model is proposed to study the relationship between the number of charge devices and economy of investment, which is based on the internal rate of return. Some service index like the queuing time and queuing length based on queuing theory are calculated to make sure the result reasonable and attainable for both investors and customers. At last, an example based on a conventional traffic flow and service intensity is simulated on Matlab to prove the effectiveness of the model.

The study aimed to measure the relationship between the investment decision-making in the industrial companies listed in the Saudi Stock Market with the (IVs) characteristics of the accounting information systems (appropriateness and reliability, comparability and understanding), and renovation and maintenance of the hardware and software. The problem in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is that the government depends on oil revenues more than on attracting investments, therefore, the importance of this study is constituted by the provision of critical recommendations to policy makers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in order to overcome this issue and improve the investments. In order to achieve the objectives of this study, questionnaires were administered to 194 people representing the study population; a multiple regression (standard regression) was also used to test the study hypotheses. In general, all variables were positively significantly related with the investment decision-making.The findings of this study also showed that the independent variables explained more than 65% of the variance in investment decision-making. The Saudi government and policy makers should issue new regulations to increase the interest in accounting information systems in order to attract the investment. In relation to the practical and theoretical contribution, this study used new variables in the new model, such as renovation and maintenance of the hardware and software. Furthermore, practical contribution will help policy makers and the Saudi government to advance in this area and implement new policies for investors in order to protect the economy and the society stability due to the war in Yemen and Syria.

Unlike previous studies that examine the effect of behavioral biases on investor decision-making, this study explores the root causes of behavioral biases and examines the mediating role of behavioral biases in the relationship between different types of emotions and investment decision-making. The cognitive theory of depression, attentional control theory, and prospect theory together provide the foundation and anticipate that stress, depression, anxiety, and social interaction are the major sources of cognitive mistakes that,in turn, affect investment decision-making. Model testing relies upon the data collected from 252stock investors trading in different stock exchanges of Pakistan; in order to test the hypothesized relationship, structural equation modeling has been used. Depression is a major source of loss aversion bias. Anxiety is a strong source of herding. Stress is a major source of representative bias.Social interaction is a root cause of overconfidence. Loss aversion bias, herding, and overconfidence fully mediate the relationship between depression, anxiety, social interaction, and investor decision; however, anxiety has the strongest impact on investor decision via herding bias, while stress has both insignificant direct and indirect effect on investment decision-making. Keywords: Sources of biases, self-efficacy, behavioral pattern, investment decision.

AbstractVenture capitalists’ trust in entrepreneurs and their investment behaviors does not interact directly; Trust is a psychological state rather than static and stable phenomena. The relationship is affected by multiple factors. This study aims to develop a better understanding of the complex relationship and to show the degree of influence among factors, and to reveal “The Bewilderment of Decision-making” of VC. Based on SEM, this paper analyzes the relationship between the factors: the influencing factors at the initial stage of trust, trust, investor risk appetite, entrepreneurs’ behaviors, capitalists’ decision-making Behaviors, capitalists’ post-investment Behaviors. Our qualitative analysis is based on data by issuing 323 questionnaire surveys of 104 Chinese venture capital firms which are divided into different regions by Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). By analyzing various behaviors, we find that entrepreneurs’ behavior is a key factor in this relationship. Several factors studied earlier have a positive impact on the capitalist’s pre-investment decision-making behavior, but no significant impact on post-investment behavior. These results include trust and investor risk appetite. Through interviews, it was found that the capitalist’s post-investment behavior was related to the capitalist’s ability, resources, management mechanism and other factors.

This article contributes to scholarly debates about the relationship between precarity and financialization by applying Randy Martin’s concept of the social derivative to the phenomenon of responsible investment. It explores how responsible investment emerges as an avenue for political action in the context of disintermediated governance. Analyzing one strategy of responsible investment, the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks into investment decision making, through the frame of the social derivative, the article argues that a derivative logic of ethics underpins ESG risk management. This complicates contemporary understandings of precarity as risk-shifting, because ESG integration creates connections between unlikely parties, opening up new forms and directions for political contest through finance. However, the article reveals that the contingent and profit-driven ethics on which ESG risk management is based establishes a narrow foundation on which these contests take place.

Investments are among the most important factors of national economic growth. Selection of optimal investment project is the first priority for any enterprise with limited financial resources. This study is dedicated to a choice among mutually exclusive projects, which are impossible to complete partially, so, one project must be chosen and all others must be rejected. An investor must find among all possible projects the one that allows to better achieve all investor’s aims. A mathematical model of multi-purpose multi-criteria investor decision making is proposed for investment project selection problem. Efficiency and riskiness of studied projects are evaluated using such indicators as profit, rate of return, payback period, marginal cost of capital, also taking into account subjective characteristics, namely the investor’s attitude towards financial risks, importance assessment of decision making criteria, etc. Decision making assessment methods for the situations of risk and uncertainty are applied to resolve the problem of optimal project selection, such as Wald’s pessimistic criterion, maximax optimistic criterion, as well as Hurwicz’s, Laplace’s, Bayes- Laplace, Hodges-Lehmann criteria, and Savage’s minimax risk criterion. Calculations carried out and results obtained indicate that the best investment project chosen that way will provide the highest absolute profit, despite certain disadvantages such as lower rate of return, longer payback period and higher risk than other projects.
