We choose China's A-share manufacturing firms listed on Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges. Sample span covers January 2010 to December 2020. We obtain the financial data from the online CSMAR DB and Wind DB. Using panel data, we employ panel regression analysis. We choose Tobin's Q and Altrnan's Z-score as dependent variables to calculate firm performance and financial risk. We select the popular Bloomberg ESG composite score as independent variable to measure the corporate ESG. In addition, we add six control variables, namely, firm size, growth, book-to-market value ratio, rate of return, annual and industry dummy variables. We find that the ESG not only improve firm perfonnm1ce but also reduce film's financial risk. These findings are largely consistent with prior studies. This paper has at least two limitations due to sample collection difficulty. First, we use only the manufacturing industry data for empirical analysis. Second, we include only the state-owned firms in the sample, excluding the private manufacturing industry. In the future studies, we hope to overcome these limitations of this paper.","PeriodicalId":393957,"journal":{"name":"Global Convergence Research Academy","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122266633","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}

Replacing gasoline-powered vehicles with electric cars is key to reducing carbon emissions in transportation systems around the world. The popularity of electric cars has accelerated in recent years. Since 2012 global sales of electric vehicles have grown 56% year on year. Its sales in 2021 doubled from the previous year to 6.75 million units, a record high. In the coming years, many governments have introduced policies to limit or even ban the production of fuel cars, while reducing or exempting taxes on electric vehicles. Governments and businesses around the world are investing heavily in charging facilities. Compared to fuel vehicles, new generation constuners are more likely to buy electric vehicles. This will continue to drive growth in the supply and demand for electric vehicles. The transition from gasoline vehicles to electric vehicles is a global structural change that will offer enormous potential opportunities for market participants. The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of the characteristics of renewable energy under the background of carbon neutrality on government policy, corporate development and consumers' purchasing intentions. The research object is the consumers of electric vehicles in China, and the statistical analysis used SPSS 23.0 and Smatt PLS 4.0. The results of the study are as follows.

Live commerce has become not only a simple form of entertainment, but also an important means for consumers to obtain information and to communicate. Nowadays, the e-commerce live broadcast jointly created by live broadcast and e-commerce has created a lot of attention. Especially with the rapid development of self-media, there are many influencers in the live commerce. These influencers sharing and disseminating product infonnation will have an impact on the consumer's choice, and then influence the consumer's purchase intention. This dissertation focuses on the influence of influencers on consumers' consumption choices of goods in live commerce. Therefore, this study clarifies the concept of influencer and consumers' purchase intention by sorting out the prior studies on influencers and their four characteristics namely professionalism, credibility, attractiveness and interactivity. Furthermore, this study introduces two mediating variables, flow and perceived value, and constructs a corresponding research model. Samples were collected by means of questionnaires and empirical analysis was conducted using SPSS 23.0 and Smart PLS 4.0(Structural Equation Package) to verify the hypotheses. The following conclusions are drawn. First, professionalism has no effect on flow thus, H1-1 is rejected; attractiveness has no effect on flow thus, H1-3 is also rejected. HI is partially adopted. Second, professionalism has no effect on perceived value thus, H2-1 is rejected. H2 is partially adopted. Third, flow positively influences purchase intention thus, H3 is adopted. Fourth, perceived value positively influences purchase intention thus, H4 is adopted.","PeriodicalId":393957,"journal":{"name":"Global Convergence Research Academy","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130199768","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}
