Description房地产行业高杠杆的特征使其容易受到外部经济、政策环境变化的冲击，而在疫情席卷全球、国内经济增速放缓的当下，房地产作为中国经济压舱石的地位更加突出，房地产企业有必要针对潜在的全球性金融危机做出应对预案，尤其需要重新审视和评估自身的资本结构和财务水平。基于以上背景，本研究将探究房地产企业在金融危机背景下的最优资本结构，该最优资本结构将有利于企业在金融危机时期正常发展、维持企业的行业竞争优势。为探究金融危机如何影响房地产企业的资本结构，本研究分别以金融危机爆发时房地产企业的资本结构为研究时期与对象，进行定量研究与典型房企案例的定性研究。本研究选取了近30家在境内或香港上市的大陆房地产公司，以及多家海外上市房地产公司为实证研究对象，从多个不同的维度收集金融危机时期上市房企的财务、经营及市场环境指标，运用多元线性回归模型研究2008年金融危机时期，不同资本结构、不同产权性质和不同规模对房企财务表现的影响。最后，结合上述研究成果，本文对现阶段旭辉集团的资本结构合理度进行压力测试，再对测试结果做出评估，为旭辉集团如何在金融危机时期改进资本结构提供可行的实施方案。本文主要结论有三点：第一，为抵御金融危机的冲击，房地产企业需要保持健康的资本负债结构，保证充沛的现金流、高速的资金周转率，并且合理地规避风险，才能顺利度过金融危机的寒冬；第二，金融危机中，房企资产负债率越高、短期负债比越低、流动资产比例越高、净负债率越高、有息负债率越低，其托宾Q值越高，资产负债率和净负债率对财务表现影响与原有假设不符合，主要原因①两个指标包含了预收账款以及现金因素，行业快速发展期，房企快速销售产生的预售账款以及非现金债务助推了企业快速发展。②行业在快速发展期，高负债和高土储在持续量价提升的背景下，掩盖了行业若进入平稳期的高负债风险。③在此背景下，估值逻辑更多地考虑成长性、对风险的关注度不足，也使得中小房企更容易获得成长溢价。金融危机与非金融危机时期对比，相对于民营企业，国有房地产企业的财务表现更稳健；第三，现金营运指数、长期债务与营运资金比、销售现金比率对旭辉控股资本结构的影响较大，在设定重度压力情境下，中国房企面临的潜在财务压力较大，未来需要适度调低负债比例，加强现金流管理，包括审慎投资拿地、降低投资失误率，积极拓展收入来源、增加更多有稳定现金流的业务等，应对可能出现的金融危机、保证企业长期健康发展。

Description
Various activities move online in the era of the digital economy. Platform design and policy can heavily affect online user activities and result in many expected and unexpected consequences. In this dissertation, I conduct empirical studies on three types of online platforms to investigate the influence of their platform policy on their user engagement and associated outcomes. Specifically, in Study 1, I focus on goal-directed platforms and study how the introduction of the mobile channel affects users’ goal pursuit engagement and persistence. In Study 2, I focus on social media and online communities. I study the introduction of machine-powered platform regulation and its impacts on volunteer moderators’ engagement. In Study 3, I focus on online political discourse forums and examine the role of identity declaration in user participation and polarization in the subsequent political discourse. Overall, my results highlight how various platform policies shape user behavior. Implications on multi-channel adoption, human-machine collaborative platform governance, and online political polarization research are discussed.

In the past decade, online shopping mode has been recognized and accepted by more and
more people. Over 200 million people were online shoppers in the United States. Convenient,
options, and better prices compared to traditional shopping mode attract more people to choose
the products online. Consumer’s feedback presented as online reviews on products after the
purchase has become one of the most important factors influencing whether other consumers will
purchase products. For merchants, by studying the behavioral differences of these online
consumers when evaluating products, they can help them to understand product characteristics
and their customers to improve online marketing strategies. This article explores the differences
in the types of utilitarian and hedonic products and behavioral changes in customer opinions,
which involves 22 different categories of products from Amazon.com and customer reviews for
analysis through a variety of technical and research methods.

Description
Ever since the registration of private banks was deregulated in Taiwan in 1991, the sector has suffered significant decline in profitability. Facing such a dynamic sector yet vital to domestic economy, what should the banks do to successfully improve their competiveness? As external changes are often unpredictable, the exploration and buildup of internal resources is a critical approach. This article focuses on how to effectively manage internal competition so as to upgrade business performance and accomplish organizational goals.
This article discusses the effects of the compensation system and employee incentives on business performance in banking in two areas. First of all, based on the statistics on the banking sector in Taiwan, it explores the regulating effects of different compensation systems on two conflicts in the industry. It also reviews the literature on Conflict Theory. Research shows that when people trust each other, they tend to accept a value statement different from theirs. And our research also shows that trust can minimize task conflict and relationship conflict between team members. Moreover, after identifying the role of compensation structure to trust and task conflict, this article further categorizes the structure into team performance reward and individual performance reward. Analysis points out that when the organization bases compensation payment on team performance reward, the relationship between trust and task conflict is higher than that on individual performance reward. That is, team performance reward better helps to reinforce such correlation compared to individual performance reward.
Second, the research studies different forms of employee incentives in Taiwan’s banking sector as well as resulting performance. During the studied period, the majority of the financial institutions preferred cash bonus. In addition, financial institutions also take other incentives. Cash bonus covered the highest percentage, followed by share bonus, treasury repo and transfer, and options in order. We study the ROEs under different incentives and conclude it is higher and more stable in the institutions offering multiple employee shares instead of single method. Whether the incentives are implemented also influence the level of net ROE.
