The Impact of Terms of Trade on the Export Structure of Manufactured Products in Different Economic Developing Status

The Prebisch-Singer Hypothesis states that in structural time series analysis, the terms of trade between primary products and manufacturers have a negative deterministic trend. Many researchers argued that the deterioration in trade is the type of country in which the products are exported, regardless of whether the types of products exported by such countries are primary or manufactured products. This paper employs a development-differentiated model to analyze the correlation between various terms of trade and the export proportion of manufactured products on different economies of development status. In the long run, stable co-integration relations exist between terms of trade and the export proportion of manufactured products for development status. Furthermore, the increased proportion of manufactured products exports is the Granger casualty for the worse terms of trade for several economies of development status. The results demonstrated that changing the terms of trade is significantly influenced by structured changes in the export proportion of manufactured products for the development status of economies.

Quantum Game of Dual-channel Supply Chain under Free-riding Behavior

Based on the perspective of the quantum game, this paper explores when the online direct sales channel takes the free-riding behavior after the retail channel provides high-quality experience and services and how the dual-channel supply chain establishes a commodity pricing strategy. The retailer’s selling price follows a decreasing function of the free-riding behavior coefficient. while the online direct selling price does an increasing function of the free-riding behavior coefficient. Under centralized decision-making, there is no quantum entanglement, so the quantum game solution is consistent with the classical game solution. Under decentralized decision-making, the optimal price and profit of the quantum game are higher than those of the classical game when the quantum entanglement degree is greater than zero. When the quantum entanglement tends to be infinite, the optimal price of the quantum game finally remains in convergence. The quantum game theory is a more optimal decision-making method than the classical game theory.

Commercializing-based Rural Poverty Alleviation Model (CBRPA Model) and Internal Cycle Growth

This paper explores and brings forth a persistent resilient self-motivated or self-growth-driven rural poverty alleviation model based on the commercializing-based rural poverty alleviation (CBRPA) model. The CBRPA model encompasses systems or mechanisms of integrated contract farming, regional integrated processing, and agricultural association. Although China has made brilliant achievements in rural poverty alleviation since opening-up in 1978, it still lacks a self-growth-driven rural poverty alleviation system or mechanism. Thus, this paper discusses the rural poverty alleviation achievements and policies of China. It explores various solutions, formulates proper structure, and proposes a CBRPA model. Implementation of the CBRPA model requires the establishment of the agricultural association, integrated contract farming companies (ICFCs), and regional integrated processing companies (RIPCs). The paper also discussed the importance and contribution of rural poverty alleviation to economic growth as well as China’s major economic strategy of double cycle growth. As the CBRPA Model generates a self-growth-driven rural poverty alleviation pattern that is implemented all over the country, it makes an important strategy for internal cycle growth to mutually facilitate external cycle growth.

Research on Industrial Agglomeration and Isomorphism of Manufacturing Industry in Pearl River Delta

As a national strategy, the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is of great significance. The Pearl River Delta is one of the core regions of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and important for the upgrading of innovative manufacturing industries. It is important to enhance the competitiveness of those areas and optimize industrial structure by promoting the division of labor between cities. The quantitative research on the industrial agglomeration and industrial isomorphism of the manufacturing industry in nine cities in the Pearl River Delta shows that each city has formed its specialized manufacturing industry, and the phenomenon of industrial isomorphism has been improved by the unified planning of the manufacturing industry in the Pearl River Delta.

The Impact of Income Terms of Trade Changes on Private Savings

The terms-of-trade fluctuations have been an important factor in explaining macroeconomic capacity while foreign demand for certain export commodities is inflexible and has a significant impact on their economies in the shocks of external terms of trade. Changes in the external terms of trade might harm private savings while higher inflation rates and lower levels of social security tend to increase private savings due to higher uncertainty. This paper analyzes the characteristics of China’s income terms of trade (ITT) and private savings from 2000 to 2019 based on the related macroeconomic literature and the functioning factors affecting the long-term private savings. Empirical regression models are constructed, and the results suggest that improvement of income terms of trade by 1% leads to an increase in private saving rate by 0.413%, but this relationship has the opposite effect after the 2008 global financial crisis. Policy recommendations are proposed on the promotion of independent innovation ability of foreign trade and the optimization of trade structure along with other progressive analyses on China’s current problems in foreign trade.

Uncertainty of the Imported Products and Its Effect on the Income Distribution of Importer

This paper aims to test the uncertainty of the imported products and its effect on the income distribution of importers. This research firstly shows Korea as the risk preference. We show that the relationship between capital and labor has been evolved from when there is no uncertainty to when there is uncertainty, while the relationship between import and capital is complementary. This result proves that the lower uncertainty of imported products hampers the capital of the importing country while it benefits the labor market.

Research on the Impact of Internet Word-of-Mouth on Film Consumption ingness of College Students

In the context of the information age, consumers obtain information on products or services through online channels. Internet word-of-mouth has quickly become an emerging hotspot in the field of marketing, and its role in the film industry has become more prominent than before. Based on the relevant research of scholars, this paper constructs a research model to study the influence of film online word-of-mouth on college students’ consumption intention. Empirical research verified that source credibility, disseminator’s professional knowledge, word-of-mouth quality, word-of-mouth quantity, word-of-mouth potency, perceived credibility, network involvement, and receiver’s professional knowledge are positively correlated with college students’ film consumption intention. Based on the results, this study proposes a series of suggestions, such as improving the content quality of online word-of-mouth and the popularity of movies on the Internet to help movie companies effectively use online word-of-mouth to implement marketing.

Analysis and Evaluation of Comprehensive Competitiveness of China’s Main Coastal Ports

As the center of national resource strategy and global resource allocation, the port is of great significance in economic development and foreign trade. The implementation of “The Belt and Road” initiative makes China’s ports play a more prominent role in foreign trade than before. As the dominant node of the maritime route of the Silk Road, China’s ports are facing great opportunities and challenges. With the increasing economic pressure in the world, the competition of ports is increasingly fierce, and the ports are facing a severe challenge. This paper analyzes the basic problems and explores how to develop further in China’s coastal major ports along “The Belt and Road”. The evaluation factors of port comprehensive competitiveness are selected to establish the evaluation index system. The factors of 13 ports are defined by SPSS software to obtain the ranking of comprehensive competitiveness of the ports through the ladder comparison with cluster analysis. Based on the result, the appropriate policy is suggested.
