This paper investigates the relationship between female executives and corporate philanthropy in China with a sample of 1,944 listed A-share Chinese companies selected from the Shanghai and Shenzhen security markets from 2014 to 2016. The results show that regarding corporate philanthropic behavior, existing female executives or top managers (chairperson or CEO) who are female will stimulate philanthropy. In the scale of corporate philanthropy, existing female executives have no significant effect on the scale of philanthropy, whereas the proportion of female executives has a promoting effect on the scale of philanthropy. In addition, the nature of the actual controller of corporations and the degree of industry competition influence female executives' tendency to promote corporate philanthropy. Existing female executives in nonstate-controlled corporations are more likely to promote philanthropy than those in state-controlled corporations. Existing female executives in corporations facing a normal degree of industry competition promote philanthropy more than those in corporations with a strong or weak degree of industry competition.

Based on the assimilation learning theory of cognitive structure and the planned behavior theory, the purpose of this work is to analyze the relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship education (IEE) and entrepreneurial intention from the perspective of educational psychology, to explore the influence mechanism of IEE on entrepreneurial intention, and to promote the success of college students in entrepreneurship. In this study, questionnaires were conducted among college students of different colleges, majors, and grades in Anhui province, with the aid of multiple linear regression analysis and mediating effect model analysis. The results show that IEE has positive effect on entrepreneurial intention. In addition, entrepreneurial knowledge plays a mediating role in the relationship between IEE and entrepreneurial intention. And the mediating effect of innovation behavior and entrepreneurial attitude is not obvious. These results are expected to provide evidence for understanding the relationship between IEE and entrepreneurial intention under the background of Chinese education, to enrich and expand the theoretical basis of IEE, and to possess theoretical, empirical, and practical significance for the design and implementation of innovation and entrepreneurship education for college students.
