Summary: In this paper, a novel algorithm of constructing directed-weighted financial stock networks via meso-scale is proposed. The topology and robustness of these constructed networks are analyzed, and it is found that networks with larger meso-scale show better stability. The results suggest that long-term investors may consider a holding period of 190 days.

Summary: This study examines the causal relationships between Internet development, urbanization, and regional economic growth using a bootstrap panel Granger causality test. The findings show that there is a Granger causality from Internet development to economic growth in most provinces, and this causality is observed in economically developed provinces. Additionally, urbanization has a positive impact on economic growth, but the effect of economic growth on urbanization is constrained by regional bias policies.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between healthcare expenditures, economic growth, and aging ratio in China. The results suggest that there is no long-term relationship among these variables. The Granger causality test shows a one-way causality from healthcare expenditures to aging ratio, and from economic growth to both healthcare expenditures and aging ratio. These empirical findings have important policy implications for China.

Summary: The study indicates that in China, the development of new energy is influenced by multiple factors, with new energy generation positively linked to consumption, while energy prices and carbon emissions have a negative impact. Economic growth can promote the growth of new energy consumption, but this effect gradually forms and is unlikely to occur immediately. The impact of industrial structure optimization on new energy consumption is not significant.

Summary: This paper empirically evaluates the impact of environment stringency policy, business regulations, policy and economic uncertainty, and real GDP per capita on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. The results indicate that only the effect of real GDP per capita is homogeneous and statistically significant. Furthermore, more friendly business regulations encourage FDI inflows in the long run, but there is a bottom line. More stringent environmental regulations have a marginally adverse effect on FDI inflows in the long run and weakly support the pollution haven hypothesis.
