In the evolutionary process of productivity development, the reality of productivity development promotes the emergence of festivals, and influences the change of travel patterns until contemporary festivals become a form of tourism, which is the historical context of the innovative quality productivity-enabled festivals tourism. In terms of intrinsic motivation, festivals have become an effective carrier for the construction of new relationships between people, nature and society driven by the Innovative quality of productivity. On the logical framework, the innovative quality productivity empowers the high-quality development of festival tourism, mainly relying on the optimal combination of the three major elements of the innovative quality producers, means of production and production objects, and with science and technology, culture and policy as the three major strategic support, through the scientific and technological “empowerment” and festival “enablement” combination, to promote the development of festival tourism, and to promote the development of festival tourism. Through the combination of science and technology “empowerment” and festivals “enabling”, it promotes the innovation and integration of the industrial chain, and facilitates the development of the new and old productive forces in accordance with local conditions and synergistic progress.</p> Yikun Yan Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) 2026-02-03 2026-02-03 9 1 1 13 10.26689/pbes.v9i1.13584 Efficiency Evaluation and Barrier Analysis of Blockchain Technology Application in Cross- Border Trade Finance: A Case Study of Supply Chain Finance in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/PBES/article/view/13233 <p>Under the special institutional environment of “One country, Two systems, and Three jurisdictions” in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), cross-border trade finance faces prominent information asymmetry and institutional frictions. Existing studies lack quantitative evaluation of blockchain technology’s application efficiency in this context and systematic analysis of barrier mechanisms. This paper constructs an analytical framework of “technological characteristics-financing process-efficiency output”, using the DEA-BCC model, Malmquist index, grounded theory, and ISM-ANP model for empirical analysis. The results showed that blockchain significantly empowers cross-border trade finance, with total factor productivity (TFP) increasing by 14% in 2023–2024, mainly driven by technological efficiency improvement. Core enterprises (comprehensive technical efficiency 0.82) outperform SMEs (0.65), showing a “Matthew Effect”. Moreover, barriers form a three-level structure of “underlying root-middle-level transmission-surface manifestations”, with technical (weight 0.32) and institutional barriers (0.28) as core constraints, especially insufficient cross-border regulatory coordination (0.12) and inconsistent cross-chain standards (0.10). Prioritizing these underlying barriers is key to breaking “digital silos”, and the proposed hierarchical governance strategy provides support for GBA financial infrastructure interconnection.</p> Jingdong Huang Xinyi Zhang Hao Jin Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) 2026-02-10 2026-02-10 9 1 14 22 10.26689/pbes.v9i1.13233 Application and Practice of Big Data Technology in Financial Management https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/PBES/article/view/13755 <p>In the era of accelerating digital economy penetration, big data technology is reshaping traditional corporate financial management models through its core advantages of massive data processing, in-depth data analysis, and precise trend forecasting.

Existing studies mostly discuss the effectiveness of digital fiscal reforms from the perspective of technological application or efficiency improvement, but pay relatively insufficient attention to how it affects the standardization of interdepartmental budget fund allocation. Based on this, taking the integrated budget management reform as the entry point, this paper explores the action path of fiscal digitization on the standardization of interdepartmental budget fund allocation from two levels: institutional foundation and operational mechanism. The study holds that fiscal digitization does not directly determine the allocation result of budget funds among departments, but changes the institutional environment relied on by budget allocation behavior by unifying budget rules, connecting budget management processes, and reconstructing budget information structure, thereby forming more stable and enforceable institutional constraints on departmental budget allocation. On this basis, fiscal digitization further exerts institutional constraints during the budget execution stage by embedding supervision and auditing functions into the budget execution process and improving the transparency of budget operation, inhibiting arbitrariness and strategic adjustments in interdepartmental budget allocation. Thus, the standardization of interdepartmental budget fund allocation is gradually strengthened, and the improvement of allocation efficiency is more reflected as a natural result under standardized constraints. The analysis of this paper helps to understand the governance effect of fiscal digitization from the perspective of institutional operation and provides theoretical reference for further improving the interdepartmental budget fund allocation mechanism.</p> Penglu Deng Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) 2026-02-10 2026-02-10 9 1 69 74 10.26689/pbes.v9i1.13762 Exploration of the Pathways for Enterprises to Strengthen Cost and Budget Management through Managerial Accounting https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/PBES/article/view/13763 <p>Against the backdrop of intensified market competition and increasingly complex business environments, cost control and budget management have become pivotal for enterprises seeking to reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and ensure the successful implementation of their strategies.

Research indicates a bidirectional and mutually reinforcing relationship between the low-altitude economy and digital-real integration, where the development of the low-altitude economy relies on enabling digital technologies such as high-precision navigation, intelligent air traffic management, and digital twins; simultaneously, the massive data and diverse scenarios it generates provide a crucial testing ground for digital technology innovation and implementation. SSDI SMEs demonstrate significant vitality in niche UAV sectors, specialized solutions, and regional service network construction. To foster the ternary synergy among the low-altitude economy, digital-real integration, and new quality productive forces, efforts should focus on building data trading markets and secure channels, constructing intelligent integrated infrastructure, and creating comprehensive management platforms. Current challenges include technology maturity, safety regulation, airspace supply, and business model sustainability.

Focusing on the Guangxi border ethnic region that is both coastal and adjacent to national borders, this paper examines the significance of optimizing the business environment for promoting high-quality development in Guangxi. It then analyzes the current state of the business environment from three perspectives: attracting foreign investment, promoting investment, and reforming government services. The analysis identifies several salient problems, including low efficiency in administrative service approval, a lack of overall coordination and interdepartmental linkage, difficulties and high costs for micro and small enterprises to obtain financing, shortages of human resources, challenges in attracting and retaining talent, an insufficient level of digitalization, and limited resource sharing. Drawing on international experiences from Singapore and Ireland as well as domestic cases from Hong Kong and Zhejiang, this paper proposes policy measures such as deepening the “streamlining administration, delegating powers, improving regulation, and optimizing services” reform, ensuring that pro-enterprise policies are implemented in a targeted and effective manner, strengthening science- and technology-enabled financial services, enhancing mechanisms for talent cultivation and recruitment, and improving the regulatory framework and transparency. These recommendations provide a reference for building a high-quality business environment in Guangxi.</p> Shunyan Peng Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) 2026-02-10 2026-02-10 9 1 99 110 10.26689/pbes.v9i1.13766 Virtual-Physical Symbiosis: A Study on the Sustainable Path of Digital Transformation in the Exhibition Industry https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/PBES/article/view/13767 <p>The traditional model of China’s exhibition industry faces challenges such as high resource consumption and severe environmental pollution. Digital transformation has become an inevitable direction for the industry’s high-quality development. However, the current transition is constrained by the absence of “virtual-physical symbiosis” scenarios and the lack of real-time interaction between physical and digital exhibition booths. Centered on “virtual-physical symbiosis,” this paper constructs a four-dimensional theoretical framework encompassing technology, management, experience, and sustainability. By integrating the linkage mechanism between the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the digital transformation of the exhibition industry, it analyzes the China International Import Expo as a case study. The research clarifies the technological underpinnings and tool applications for exhibition digital transformation, proposes diverse pathways for SDG implementation, and ultimately provides theoretical foundations and practical guidance for government policy formulation and corporate digital practices. This contributes to achieving green, smart, and inclusive high-quality development in the exhibition industry.</p> Chuyan Yu Jiayu Chen Qianyu Liang Xiaoqing Tan Shujie Zhang Xinling Ye Dandan Chen Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) 2026-02-10 2026-02-10 9 1 111 120 10.26689/pbes.v9i1.13767 Evaluation of Green Technology Innovation Efficiency, Regional Differences and Influencing Factors of Industrial Enterprises in China: Based on a Two-Stage Perspective https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/PBES/article/view/13378 <p>The symposium on industrial green and low-carbon development held by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in January 2024 emphasized the need to steadily promote carbon reduction in the industrial sector, and improving the efficiency of green technology innovation in industrial enterprises has important practical significance in promoting their green transformation and upgrading. Therefore, this article uses inter-provincial panel data from 2005 to 2022, and constructs super efficiency EBM model, ML index model, Dagum Gini coefficient model, and spatial Durbin model to measure, decompose, analyze the sources of differences and influencing factors in the two-stage efficiency of industrial enterprises. The results show that the efficiency of technology research and development is higher than the efficiency of technology transformation, and the efficiency level of each stage is directly proportional to the economic development level of the region. The scale efficiency level of each stage remains stable at 0.9 or above, and the low pure efficiency is an important reason for the significantly low efficiency. The efficiency level of each stage shows an increasing trend from 2005 to 2022, and the efficiency level of each stage in the eastern region is higher than that of other regions. The efficiency level of China’s research and development stage shows a good development trend, but there is insufficient coordination between technological efficiency and technological progress in the transformation stage, and there are significant bottlenecks in the technological progress index. The differences in efficiency levels between different stages mainly come from the differences in efficiency levels between regions, with more significant differences between the eastern region and other regions. The industrial structure and market competitiveness have a significant promoting effect on efficiency levels, while environmental regulations have a significant inhibitory effect on efficiency levels.</p> Quanyi Wang Weiyu Zhang Yutang Li Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) 2026-02-10 2026-02-10 9 1 121 143 10.26689/pbes.v9i1.13378 Research on Two-Stage Capacity Configuration Optimization of Internet Dispatching Systems: From the Perspective of AI Empowerment and User Behavior https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/PBES/article/view/13769 <p>Against the backdrop of the rapid development of the digital economy, internet dispatching platforms such as food delivery and ride-hailing services have become key urban infrastructure. However, they generally face the core contradiction between dynamic demand fluctuations and rigid service capacity constraints. This paper decomposes the dispatching system into a two-stage closed-loop structure of “waiting and service”. Combining queuing theory principles, AI empowerment characteristics, and introducing user loss aversion psychology and reference utility features, a configuration model covering basic capacity and safety capacity is constructed to explore optimal capacity strategies under profit-oriented and welfare-oriented orientations. Numerical examples verify the model’s effectiveness. Results show that the optimal capacity consists of basic capacity and safety capacity, with the two-stage safety capacity maintaining a specific matching ratio. Moreover, AI empowerment reduces the basic capacity demand in the waiting stage but requires simultaneous optimization of service stage capacity to avoid new bottlenecks. Consequently, platform positioning and user behavior characteristics significantly affect capacity configuration efficiency. The research conclusions provide theoretical support and practical guidance for dispatching platforms to achieve refined operations and balance efficiency with user experience.</p> Yunjie Lou Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s) 2026-02-10 2026-02-10 9 1 144 151 10.26689/pbes.v9i1.13769
