Therefore, to achieve common and equal development in educational development, macro control on education resources is of great importance. Learning the impact of fiscal education expenditure on household education expenditure can help in building a better understanding of the mechanism behind the effect of increasing or decreasing fiscal education expenditure, so that the government can set educational policies of higher efficiency. What’s more, merely understanding the general impact of fiscal education expenditure is far from enough. More factors, i.e., household income, educational stages, should be taken into consideration because different groups of people may have various reactions to the government’s macro control. Based on the secondary data collected from CFPS, an authoritative database in China, together with the primary data collected through the distribution of questionnaire, the researchers built three OLS regression models, and carried out certain data analyses, finally drawing the conclusions that the fiscal education expenditure plays the crowding out effect on the household one, and both income and educational stages have significant impact on this crowding out effect.","PeriodicalId":35226,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Finance Review","volume":"223 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89156623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An organization used to establish, modify, and enforce rules governing international trade - the World Trade Organization (WTO) - was born.[1] The WTO is the world's largest international economic organization and so far, as many as 164 members have joined.[1],[2] The WTO covers a wide range of areas, mainly including trade in goods, services, intellectual property, and other fields.[3] Various trade disputes would arise in the complicated trade process and naturally, resolving disputes has become one of the core activities of the WTO. The WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism (DSM) is regarded as the central pillar of the WTO and a unique contribution of the WTO to global economic stability.[4] Generally speaking, DSM is excellent and successful. It provides a reliable trading platform for all members of the world and a guarantee for the free, fair, and predictable flow of trade.[5] But on the other hand, nothing is perfect, DSM also has some criticisms, and there is also a certain degree of inequality in the treatment of members with different development levels. This article aims to analyse the merits and demerits of the WTO's DSM and to explain that, although the DSM was originally set up to benefit the weaker countries, in practice developing countries remain at a disadvantage.","PeriodicalId":35226,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Finance Review","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74029729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper studies how the two measures, controlling the spread of COVID-19 and formulating economic policies, impact stock returns in United States and what are the differences. Additionally, this paper analyses if these two measures have the same impact on multinational companies and local companies. By using CAPM and descriptive statistical analysis, the researchers find that economic stimulus is effective in short term but controlling the spread of pandemic plays the key part in long-term economic growth, international trades make a difference in reducing risk during COVID-19. Finally, to understand is the impact of investor sentiment on stock prices the reason for these two responses to changes in stock returns, Fama-French three factor with sentiment factor added is used to explore the relationship between investor sentiment and stock returns.

Respondents comprised students from the six State Tourism Polytechnics (Perguruan Tinggi Negeri Pariwisata-PTNP), hospitality and tourism organizations, and the faculty internship coordinator & officials of each tourism polytechnics. Findings: The findings of the study indicated that the internship variables (student-focused issues, institution-specific issues, and organization-specific issues) were generally regarded as positive by the students, the hospitality and tourism organizations, and the tourism polytechnics. However, they all disagree on the issue of remuneration during the internship.

The study's respondents were primarily from Politeknik Pariwisata Bali (Bali Tourism Polytechnic), who generally presented a general image of Bali's diminishing tourism, which affected the internship program.

Design/methodology/approach: Keywords pertaining to wellness tourism were extracted from social media platforms, such as Naver, Daum, and the social network service (SNS) Facebook, as well as from the search engine Google. Text mining, frequency analysis, centrality analysis, and CONCOR analysis were conducted on the extracted keywords. The study period was divided into pre- and post-COVID-19 outbreak periods (4,984 and 4,360 keywords, respectively). In total, 100 and 50 searches were analyzed in the pre- and post-outbreak periods, respectively. Findings: Prior to the outbreak, awareness of wellness tourism and programs appear to have been high, while after the outbreak specific wellness tourism destinations, including Jeju and Gangwon, were recognized. In addition, the desire for healing of both body and mind appeared to be greater after the outbreak. Research limitations/implications: In the post-COVID era, local governments and policymakers will need to develop programs to boost local wellness tourism. Advertising and promotion on online social media platforms and SNS, emphasizing the positive effects of wellness tourism such as healing and meditation, could further increase the number of visitors to these destinations. Comparative research on wellness tourism in different countries will also be important, as perceptions of COVID-19 may vary among various countries such as Korea, Japan, and China.
