This study examines the impact of executive compensation performance sensitivity on corporate innovation against the backdrop of environmental uncertainty, using a sample of listed companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen A-shares market from 2015 to 2020. Empirical results indicate that executive compensation performance sensitivity significantly inhibits corporate innovation; however, this inhibitory effect varies with the characteristics of the environment and the industry in which the company operates. As environmental uncertainty increases, this inhibitory effect becomes insignificant. High-tech enterprises, due to their strong motivation for innovation, can offset the inhibitory effect of executive compensation performance sensitivity on corporate innovation. Nevertheless, in highly uncertain environments, where resource constraints and risks are heightened, the inhibitory effect of executive compensation performance sensitivity on corporate innovation in high-tech enterprises becomes significant. The conclusions of this study contribute to the understanding of the motivational effects of executive compensation contracts in uncertain environments, provide a reference for evaluating the effectiveness of performance-based compensation from the perspective of corporate innovation, and offer insights for companies in designing and refining executive compensation incentive plans according to the times and industry characteristics.","PeriodicalId":512730,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Economics and Policy Studies","volume":" 40","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141832712","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}

Linear regression analysis of income-segmented data reveals that FDI reduces greenhouse gas emissions globally but increases pollution in middle-income countries while reducing it in high-income countries. Robustness checks validate these findings. FDI's environmental impacts vary with the host country's regulatory environment and development status. Positive impacts include advanced technology transfer and improved resource efficiency, while negative impacts involve the \"pollution haven\" effect and resource over-exploitation by foreign investors. To maximize benefits and minimize drawbacks, host governments should provide incentives for environmentally friendly investments, promote knowledge exchange, and enforce robust environmental regulations with clear policies and self-reporting mechanisms. These strategies can help host countries harness FDI's advantages while mitigating its environmental risks.","PeriodicalId":512730,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Economics and Policy Studies","volume":" 40","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141833305","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}

Based on panel data from 29 provinces in China from 2010 to 2020, this paper employs a panel threshold regression model to investigate the relationship between the digital economy, fundamental innovation, and environmental pollution. The study finds a significant negative correlation between the level of digital economy development and environmental pollution. As the digital economy level increases, the environmental pollution levels in the relevant provinces significantly decrease. Additionally, the impact of technological innovation on the relationship between the digital economy and environmental pollution exhibits nonlinear characteristics. When the level of technological innovation exceeds a specific threshold, the effect of the digital economy on reducing environmental pollution is significantly enhanced. There are regional differences in how digital economy development and technological innovation levels affect environmental pollution. In the eastern coastal regions, where the digital economy and technological innovation are more advanced, the reduction effect on environmental pollution is more pronounced, whereas the effect is relatively limited in the central and western regions. This study provides theoretical support and decision-making references for the construction of ecological civilization and green, low-carbon development.","PeriodicalId":512730,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Economics and Policy Studies","volume":" 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141833618","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}

The results show that the economic growth objective has an inverted U-shaped effect on the expansion of renewable energy, and all of these findings pass the significance test at the 1% level. The endogeneity and robustness tests are conducted using the one-stage lag approach for explanatory factors, replacement of explained variables, and instrumental variables. The findings indicate that the \"inverted U-shaped\" relationship between the goal of economic growth and the advancement of renewable energy is steady and that the lag will eventually shorten. Additionally, excessive economic growth can harm interactions between the government and the market, which would hinder the advancement of renewable energy.","PeriodicalId":512730,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Economics and Policy Studies","volume":"812 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140446290","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}

The development process of CR Express is a epitome of the history of China's railroad development. Since its opening in 2011, its transportation volume has been showing a trend of steady growth. Since the epidemic, the China-Europe liner has ushered in a period of extremely rapid development. The fundamental reason for this is that the unexpected demand under the ad hoc situation has shaped the decentralized policy into a more state-led approach to developing the freight train operation. This paper will focus on this phenomenon, analyze the reasons for this trend from various aspects such as politics, economy, international situation, etc., and elaborate the challenges faced by the CR Express in the post epidemic era as well as the implications of this development process for China's infrastructure construction.","PeriodicalId":512730,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Economics and Policy Studies","volume":"103 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140445498","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}
