As the climate change and global warming getting worse, the sustainable development has become the most important issue around the world. There are multiple and interrelated aspects of the sustainable development, including society, economy, and environment. The development of Kaohsiung¡¦s economy was based on heavy industry. However, the high economic growth has severely degraded the environment, such as the environmental capacities have been over the limits due to human pollution. Fortunately, Kaohsiung city government has strived hard to make progress toward sustainable development. For example, the environmental quality has been improved by conducting river renovations and air pollution monitoring. In order to achieve the goal of sustainability in Kaohsiung, the current study has developed the goal programming model which is based on the performances of some key indicators. Such indicator set was carefully selected by referring many domestic and foreign literatures. Meanwhile, the unique natural environment and society of Kaohsiung and statistic data were also considered when selecting the indicator set. Once the indicator set was ready, the regression analysis has been conducted to describe the future trends of each aspect in relation to the indicators. Finally the goal programming model was formulated and the scenario analyses were performed to explore the outcomes under various policies. The results echo the spirit of sustainable development, that is, the administrative policies have to take into account of all aspects, such that the sustainability is achievable.

Due to the global competition, the survival of enterprises must face the major test. Since the poor management of the market will increase number of companies, so the crisis early warning model of business has the necessary to establish. The cause of financial crisis is the main source of financial situation of the deteriorating. Therefore, if we could analysis the facets and weights of potential affect factors through the financial and managerial situation of business to judge the crisis cause of a corporation and establish the early warning model is worth to discuss deeply. The precious year of companies¡¦ data that this study collecting are from the Taiwan Securities Exchange 2006/01/01-2008/12/31 which have been out of the open security market based on the analysis standards and omitting the less information and banking, have total 36 enterprises data for analysis. The application of total variables, this study pre-adapts the TEJ business credit risk indicators to integrate the documentation and analysis the fundamental variables. It can be seen that all the factors have the relationship with each other through this study. This highlights a very important message, and also to the crisis among the factors and normal company with a considerable fluctuations. The judging results of DEA-DA model show that most of the company might be affected with some important factors of interpretation in abnormal situation to let the company in crisis cluster. Through Logistic regression analysis results show that our study forecasting model has the great explanatory power to meet the behavior of interpretation with the crisis and normal companies. By the enterprises crisis model of this study building to assess and forecast the crisis situation have the same results with the simplified model constructing with key factors to affect the original model direction. This study shows a very important fact that the crisis forecasting models will not be simplified to change the outcome which also indicating to increase of variables won¡¦t change the results of the assessment. In accordance with this study proposed model, if value positive that would be show more and more vulnerable to crisis. By other words, if value negative that would be more small vulnerable to crisis.

This article adopt ¡¨nonlinear cointegrating regression¡¨ model, which was published by Bae and DE Jong in 2007, to conduct related empirical research on one of the pricing theories of futures-Cost of carry theory. Since cost of carry theory is based on the assumption that the market belongs to ¡¨perfect market¡¨, the test for cost of carry theory is accompanied by the test of the efficiency of the market. This article takes Taiwan Stock Exchange Capitalization Weighted Stock Index ¡BTaiwan Stock Exchange Electronic Sector Index and Taiwan Stock Exchange Finance Sector Index as our researching target and the final result exhibits that the cost of carry theory is mostly significant in the future market of Taiwan .

Governments around the world have regulated multinational enterprises to adopt arm¡¦s length transactions to facilitate identifications and comparisons between non-transfer pricing transactions with independent, non-related enterprises and transactions with related enterprises that are suspected of transfer pricing. Currently, most of the optimal transfer pricing methods for establishing arm¡¦s length principles for multinational enterprises have been addressed in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's "Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations". These guidelines emphasize the establishment of a range of arm¡¦s length transactions through the comparability analysis and the economic analysis of transfer pricing transactions; a taxpayer's returns from transactions with related companies are then compared to the range of arm¡¦s length transactions. Currently the academic world is taking the initiative in the development of relevant models to describe corporate transfer pricing decisions or to measure the net income of corporate transfer pricing transactions. This research stems from these purposes and attempts to describe transfer pricing decisions in real practice through stringent modelling; this model is then used to measure the net income of transfer pricing transactions that took place among electronic industry participants who are publicly listed in the TSE or OTC in Taiwan. We further investigated the main factors that affect the levels of net income transferred by enterprises. Based on the empirical results of this research, we discovered that the impact of raw material costs is highly significant to the corporate transfer pricing decisions, and the magnitude of impacts vary depending on the allocation of net income from transfer pricing. We recommend that the tax administration detect corporate transfer pricing decisions by monitoring the weight of raw material costs in a company.
