Under the influence of internet ideology, cracking down on traditional GSCF financing issues and transitioning from interpersonal trust to digital trust has become an inevitable trend. Achieving real-time, transparent, correlated, and traceable digital trust, digital technology (DT) platforms provide a solution. Based on the background of \"Green Carbon Chain Pass\" bill discounting financing business in the GSCF model of “Jian Dan Hui (JDH) platform”, game models are constructed involving small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), financial institutions (FIs), and core enterprises (CEs) in traditional model and after accessing the platform, based on game theory and considering the uncertainty in the decision-making process. The key factors influencing the strategic choices of the players and the impact mechanism of DT empowering the development of GSCF are explored. MATLAB software is used for simulation experiments. The results show that the cost of business operation, bill maturity values, discount rate, and losses caused by CEs not pay as agreed are important factors affecting the strategic choices of SMEs, FIs, and CEs; Accessing digital platform makes it easier to satisfy the conditions for the tripartite game to evolve into an ideal stable state; Splitting the value of supply chain bills by accessing digital platform can promote business cooperation between FIs and SMEs; The platform, relying on blockchain technology, encourages CEs to pay bills as agreed by increasing default losses; The platform relies on green ratings to motivate SMEs to apply for discounting financing through differentiated financing rates, while promoting their green management; Accessing to digital platform brings efficiency improvements and credit rewards, both of which encourage the three players to choose active financing strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":50647,"journal":{"name":"Computational Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141745471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employs Benford’s law to establish a comprehensive early warning indicator system for financial risks, incorporating its inherent factors. Additionally, the DS-evidence theory is utilized to seamlessly integrate Logistic Regression (LR), Naïve Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Gradient Boosted Decision Tree (GBDT), and AdaBoost classifiers into an ensemble classifier named the Dempster-Shafer’s theory and Ensemble Classifier (DS-EC) financial risk warning model. The findings demonstrate that: (1) The DS-EC model effectively resolves the issue of uncertainty resulting from diverse evaluation results among multiple classifiers analyzing identical sample data, significantly outperforming LR, NB, SVM, GBDT, and AdaBoost in terms of predictive accuracy.

Additionally, we introduce a herding effect measurement index tailored for the cryptocurrency market and predict cryptocurrency prices by integrating the long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network model. Empirical results reveal the presence of both genuine and pseudo herding phenomena in cryptocurrency markets, with information acquisition asymmetry identified as a significant driver of herding behavior. Specifically, during market downturns in the overall market, only pseudo herding is observed in the upward market, whereas during periods of market prosperity, both genuine and pseudo herding are evident in the downward market. In markets of different sizes, herding is absent in cryptocurrency markets with small market value, while in large market value cryptocurrency markets, pseudo herding is not statistically significant. Genuine herding occurs in both upward and downward markets during non-downturn periods. Regarding cryptocurrency markets with different liquidity levels, herding behavior is not observed in markets with small trading volume. Conversely, in markets with large trading volume, pseudo herding is observed in both upward and downward markets during non-downturn periods, with genuine herding occurring in both markets during boom periods. Additionally, the LSTM model demonstrates superior capability in fitting the price trends of different cryptocurrencies, and considering the herding effect index significantly enhances the accuracy of cryptocurrency price prediction.</p>","PeriodicalId":50647,"journal":{"name":"Computational Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141610368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we simulated unobservable heterogeneity among DCE respondents and compared the results of the maximum simulated likelihood (MSL) estimation of the mixed logit model when correctly specified and mis-specified. These results show that the MSL estimates are biased and can differ greatly from the true parameters, even when correctly specified.

Complementing the local sub-optimality bias estimator previously identified by Kan and Reesor (Appl Math Financ 19(3):195–217, 2012), recursive local bias corrections significantly reduce overall bias for the in-sample pricing approach where the estimated early-exercise policy depends on future simulated cash flows. The bias reduction scheme holds for general asset price processes and square-integrable option payoffs, and is computationally efficient across a wide range of option characteristics.
