Description2021年10月24日,中共中央、国务院印发《关于全面准确全面贯彻新发展理念做好碳达峰碳中和工作的意见》,再次对碳达峰碳中和做出战略部署。意见中重点指出,到2030年单位国内生产总值能耗大幅下降；与2005年相比，单位GDP的二氧化碳排放量下降了65%以上；非化石能源消费比例达到25%左右。11月7日,中共中央、国务院发布关于深入打好污染防治攻坚战的意见。其中提到,坚决遏制高耗能、高排放项目盲目发展。2020年第七十五届联合国大会上,我国向世界郑重承诺：力争在2030年前实现碳达峰,努力争取在2060年前实现碳中和。
实现碳达峰、碳中和目标,意味着我国在产业结构、能源结构、投资结构、生活方式等方面都将发生深刻转变。服务好碳达峰、碳中和的战略部署,是未来一段时期金融工作的重点之一。通过对电解铝环节能耗控制和总量控制是实现碳排放下降的重要途径之一。
目前大多研究文献集中在宏观层面的“双碳”目标趋势与热点分析,研究推导缺乏数据支撑。大多数文献以某一个因子为重点进行研究,研究具有片面性。为了有效量化通过对电解铝行业产能布局、产量调整,通过对电解铝上市企业经营数据在"双碳"目标实施前后变化的定量分析,进一步理解和分析碳达峰及碳中和对电解铝行业的影响。
量化和评估碳达峰和碳中和目标实施前后对电解铝行业的影响,本文将电解铝行业政策实施前后的政策变量作为此研究的主要自变量。同时,将电解铝上市企业的产能或产量作为因变量,将总资产、资产负债率等作为控制变量予以研究。本文选取的数据示例来自于WIND数据库和CSMAR经济金融研究数据库。
距离碳达峰及碳中和具体目标首次公布的时间短,碳达峰、碳中和工作的路线图、施工图处于建立与推进阶段,可研究的目标公布后的上市企业样本数据有限,在研究电解铝上市企业样本的基础上,本文也尝试用同样的方法研究控制组上市企业的财务数据及产能、产量数据,通过对比"双碳"目标对电解铝影响的差异,更加完整地论证碳中和及碳达峰战略对电解铝行业的影响。

Description2012年，《绿色信贷指引》发布，标志着成熟的绿色信贷政策体系的开始，该政策奠定了绿色信贷的基础。在绿色信贷政策的影响下，绿色企业是否能够扩大融资规模，降低融资成本，优化融资结构，使得资金向碳中和领域投入；通过该政策，银行信贷实现对社会投资的撬动，能否发挥积极作用；在双碳目标下，现行政策在实现碳中和方面能否起到新的关键作用，尤其是在清洁能源发电等碳中和重点行业；绿色信贷政策是否可通过技术升级推动高碳企业实现低碳转型尚未可知。
为回答上述问题，本文将2012年《绿色信贷指引》的颁布作为准自然实验，以上市公司为样本，运用双重差分模型考察绿色信贷政策对企业融资活动的影响。并就产权性质、行业特征、环境规制压力以及地区发展程度等维度，探讨绿色信贷政策对相关企业融资活动影响的差异性。并结合商业银行相关分行2014-2022年对公表内贷款数据，对绿色与非绿色信贷规模以及加权利率进行对比趋势分析。
最后以上述实证结果为依据，结合商业银行绿色信贷实践，得到本文的主要发现：一是绿色激励过低，绿色属性对于企业融资成本的降低，未能够超过融资期限对融资成本的降低；二是在碳中和重点行业，绿色信贷对社会融资总量的带动能力较弱，体现银行绿色信贷与其他融资此消彼长的现象；三是绿色信贷对重污染行业长期债务规模未有显著影响，反映该企业有其他融资方式的替代，向高成本融资转移；四是重污染企业可通过技术升级实现绿色转型。
在新的双碳背景下，对现行绿色信贷政策提出相关建议：一是完善政策体系，对绿色标准进行统一，企业绿色属性在融资端应给与更高激励；二是现行政策对两高一剩行业的限制与转型起到积极作用，但在推进碳中和领域中需要提升政策适用性；三是该政策后续要在推进转型金融领域发挥更重要作用。

Description
The optical properties of intersubband transition in a semipolar AlGaN/GaN single quantum well (SQW) are theoretically studied, and the results are compared with polar c-plane and nonpolar m-plane structures. The intersubband transition frequency, dipole matrix elements, and absorption spectra are calculated for SQW on different semipolar planes. It is found that SQW on a certain group of semipolar planes (55° < θ < 90° tilted from c-plane) exhibits low transition frequency and long wavelength response with high absorption quantum efficiency, which is attributed to the weak polarization-related effects. Furthermore, these semipolar SQWs show tunable transition frequency and absorption wavelength with different quantum well thicknesses, and stable device performance can be achieved with changing barrier thickness and Al compositions. All the results indicate that the semipolar AlGaN/GaN quantum wells are promising candidate for the design and fabrication of high performance low frequency and long wavelength optoelectronic devices.

Description
InGaN semiconductors are promising candidates for high-efficiency next-generation thin film solar cells. In this work, we study the photovoltaic performance of single-junction and two-junction InGaN solar cells using a semi-analytical model. We analyze the major loss mechanisms in InGaN solar cell including transmission loss, thermalization loss, spatial relaxation loss, and recombination loss. We find that transmission loss plays a major role for InGaN solar cells due to the large bandgaps of III-nitride materials. Among the recombination losses, Shockley-Read-Hall recombination loss is the dominant process. Compared to other III-V photovoltaic materials, we discovered that the emittance of InGaN solar cells is strongly impacted by Urbach tail energy. For two- and multi-junction InGaN solar cells, we discover that the current matching condition results in a limited range of top-junction bandgaps. This theoretical work provides detailed guidance for the design of high-performance InGaN solar cells.

Description
With the rapid rise of distributed generation, Internet of Things, and mobile Internet, both U.S. and European smart home manufacturers have developed energy management solutions for individual usage. These applications help people manage their energy consumption more efficiently. Domestic manufacturers have also launched similar products.
This paper focuses on the factors influencing Energy Management Behaviour (EMB) at the individual level. By reviewing academic literature, conducting surveys in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the author builds an integrated behavioural energy management model of the Chinese energy consumers. This paper takes the vague term of EMB and redefines it as a function of two separate behavioural concepts: Energy Management Intention (EMI), and the traditional Energy Saving Intention (ESI).
Secondly, the author conducts statistical analyses on these two behavioural concepts. EMI is the main driver behind an individual’s EMB. EMI is affected by Behavioural Attitudes, Subjective Norms, and Perceived Behavioural Control (PBC). Among these three key factors, PBC exerts the strongest influence. This implies that the promotion of the energy management concept is mainly driven by good application user experience (UX). The traditional ESI also demonstrates positive influence on EMB, but its impact is weaker than the impacts arising under EMI’s three factors. In other words, the government and manufacturers may not be able to change an individual's energy management behaviour if they rely solely on their traditional promotion strategies. In addition, the study finds that the government may achieve better promotional results by launching subsidies to the manufacturers of these kinds of applications and smart appliances.

Description
Executive compensation design involving equity shares has been widely used in Europe, the United States and other developed countries where the capital markets are relatively mature. In China, due to the differences in industries, ownership structure, stages of enterprise development, constraints faced by the firms, the executive compensation design using equity shares tends to vary accordingly. For the state-owned companies, the situations are more complex than others. This complexity has not been a focus of the past literature, particularly on the compensation contract design and its subsequent implementation. Based on Coase contract theorem, agency theory and human capital theory, I examined how different state-owned firms vary in their approaches on managerial stock compensation design using a case study approach. The thesis concludes with a summary of major findings and a discussion of policy implications.

Description
The key chanllenge for Small and Micro Enterprises (SMEs) to get credit or loans is the fact that traditional financing business model in commercial banks cannot meet SMEs’ financial needs. Through extensive theoretical research, market analysis especially on SMEs’ behavioral characteristics and demands, serveral case studies on market-leading banks such as Wells Fargo and KASIKORN BANK, and the actual implementation experiences in China Minsheng Bank and Pingan Bank, this article proposes a new business model for servicing SMEs for commercial banks in China, which includes the principle and rationale of the business model, the technical foundation, business process and organizational structure, as well as the future transition of the model.

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.
