文摘Effective crowdfunding platforms positively contribute toward improving micro-grid energy management systems.Therefore,a comprehensive analysis is required to understand the key factors responsible for success in crowdfunding systems by considering various criteria.This study evaluates crowdfunding platforms for microgrid project investments.In this context,a novel fuzzy decision-making model that includes two different stages is proposed.First,the selected criteria for the crowdfunding platforms for microgrid project investments are evaluated.Second,alternatives,regarding the microgrid project investments,are ranked.In this process,a multi-stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis(M-SWARA)approach based on q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets(q-ROFSs)is considered.Intuitionistic and Pythagorean fuzzy sets are also used in the calculation process to make a comparative evaluation.Similarly,a sensitivity analysis of the ranking alternatives is also conducted with 12 different q values.All the results are rather similar;thus,the findings are reliable.Another model is also created for this purpose with the help of the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory(DEMA-TEL)and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution methodologies to check the performance of the proposed model.It is defined that by considering the q-ROF DEMATEL weights,the ranking results vary for different cases.The proposed model with a M-SWARA is more reliable than the model created via the DEMATEL method.This situation provides information regarding the superiority of the model proposed in this study.It is concluded that security is the most important factor in crowdfunding platforms for smart-grid project investors.Additionally,solar panels and energy storage systems/batteries are the most significant alternatives for microgrid project investors.Necessary measures should be taken to forestall the risk of fraud that may occur on this platform.Therefore,the website to be established must be secure against possible hacking attacks.Another important conclusion of this study is that solar panels should be preliminarily developed to increase the effectiveness of microgrid systems.
文摘Financial resilience refers to a start-up's capacity to anticipate,plan for,respond to,and adapt to gradual change and abrupt unforeseen shocks to survive and thrive by enacting appropriate economic policies to decrease budget deficits.Economic history tells us that more companies fail to emerge from a downturn than go into or during it.Many studies have been done on financial resilience in many dimensions,but no one has studied start-ups’organizational readiness for financial resilience.This gap inspires the current research,which uses the Total Interpretive Structural Modelling(TISM)approach to identify financial resilience factors and analyze hierarchical interrelationships start-ups’organizational readiness factors for financial resilience.This article aims to identify,assess,and categorize start-up organizational preparation elements for financial resilience.The result shows that the first importance should be given to digital financial innovation,liquidity planning,going concern consideration,financial strategy of CFOs,and cyberthreats.Managers of start-ups can utilize the findings of this study to prepare for financial resilience professionally.In a fast-paced environment,start-ups may use financial resilience to gain a competitive edge.
文摘Because its data structure creates a digital transaction ledger,block-chain will build a more transparent and publicly verifiable system that will fundamentally change the way of our transaction activities,asset value,contract performance,and sharing data across industries.Since 2015,"blockchain"has become the hottest topic to the world’s major financial giants.This paper first introduces the principle and characteristics of block-chain technology.The block-chain technology based on encryption algorithms builds a global distributed secure network database that records and updates transaction information through decentralized chain connections and block chronological arrangement.Secondly,it focuses on the technological innovation of block-chain in financial systems.Block-chain technology solves the problems of decentralization,information security,and information disclosure in financial transactions.Thirdly,we put the emphasis on the block-chain technology application prospect in the field of finance.The block-chain technology will be used in digital currency,payment and clearing,smart contracts,as well as financial transactions.At last,we lead a warning that the application of blockchain technology could bring financial risks,which includes a technical problem,resource problem,and competition problem.Our conclusion is that block-chain will change the credit management mode of the traditional financial system.But due to the shortcomings of technical maturity,resources reserve,and the regulation of competition,the application value of block-chain in financial field will face risk.Therefore,monetary authorities should reserve talents and technologies of block-chain,and strengthen the basic research,practical application and standardization research of block-chain.According to the domestic and international situation,the authorities should issue legal digital currency,build internationally competitive Chinese block-chain products,and continuously explore effective regulatory model blockchain to secure a healthy and sustainable development of the chain block industry.

文摘As a disruptive innovation,FinTech has posed risks in the financial industry that are more unidentifiable,sweeping,disruptive and influential.Given these new developments,deeper regulatory reform has become necessary to safeguard national financial security,and prevent and dissolve financial risks.On March 11,2021,the 14th Five-Year Plan'endorsed by the Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress stressed that China will improve the modern financial regulatory system and shore up our weaknesses in the regulatory system,and boost the application of regulatory technology and financial innovation risk assessment.This marks that the establishment of a technology-driven financial regulatory framework has been put on the agenda.Based on an analysis of the essential implications and drivers of RegTech innovation,this paper discusses the theoretical logic of RegTech innovation.Technology enables intelligent regulatory processes,efficient information processing and robust risk control.The restructuring of the regulatory system has revealed shifts in regulatory paradigms.These include a shift from passive response to proactive change,a shift toward positive interactions between regulators and industry players,as well as more close coordination among regulators.These changes have resulted in more adaptable and efficient regulation.After summarizing foreign experience and Chinese practice,this paper presents optimal pathways for RegTech innovation in China in the following aspects:consolidating the rule-of-law foundation for RegTech innovation,speeding up institutional reforms,improving policy services,strengthening infrastructure development,and building multiparty cooperation mechanisms.This study serves as a reference for building a technology-centric modern financial regulatory system and a sound environment forFinTechdevelopment.
文摘In recent years,China’s financial sector has witnessed a high growth trend.This trend has been caused by several reasons:the traditional macro-control tools do not match the new normal characteristics of China’s economy growth,the regulatory reform is lagging behind the rapid progress of financial innovation,and the drastic fluctuations of the stock market are combined with a new round of increase in real estate price.In particular,this round of high growth in the financial sector occurs in the context of a rapid decline of manufacturing sector,which reflects the low efficiency of financial operations.It also means the foundation of financial stability and sustainable development is losing and high risks are coming.To deal with this change properly,we need to further deepen financial reform and improve financial supervision,and create a favorable financial environment for the real economy.At the same time,researchers should also reflect on and study the characteristics of China’s financial development,and provide the theoretical basis for maintaining financial security.
