Based on panel data of 31 provinces in China, this paper explores the impact mechanism of energy investment on regional growth potential, using HP filtering method, XGBoost regression model, panel data preprocessing techniques, and chain mediating effect test . The results show that there are structural differences in the impact of energy investment: investment in the gas production and supply industry has the largest negative impact, while investments in oil and gas extraction and power supply have positive impacts, and the impacts of coal mining and washing, petroleum processing and coking industries are relatively weak. There is a chain mediating path of "energy investment → secondary i... More >

The findings indicate that institutional independence of central banks significantly contributes to curbing inflation levels, enhancing policy credibility and implementation stability. Meanwhile, policy transparency effectively reduces inflation volatility by stabilizing publ... More >

In view of the increasing incidence of minor offenses committed by adults, the proper management of adult criminal records has become a pivotal issue in the reform of China's criminal justice system.

Through a comparative analysis of the legal frameworks in countries such as the United States, Germany, and Japan, the study identifies valuable insights regarding the scope of record sealing, procedural safeguards, and mechanisms for t...
