非货币性交易的特点及其应注意的问题

非货币性交易中,最突出的特征是参与交换的主体同时扮演了两种角色:首先,将拥有的非货币性资产交换出去,这一交换行为使该交换主体扮演"卖者"的角色;其次,将所需要的非货币性资产交换进来,这一交换行为使其扮演"买者"的角色。因此,任何一笔非货币性交易的完成,实际上是两种交易行为共同作用的结果。本文结合新企业会计制度的若干变化,探讨了我国非货币性交易问题及其会计处理方法。

Determinants of Online Shopping Influencing Thai Consumer’s Buying Choices

With the ease and availability of high-speed Internet service, online shopping is increasing rapidly. Consumers are moving to more intensive use of the Internet as the technology becomes more accessible, the availability of information increases, and the ability to interact through the Internet evolves. The success of online businesses relies heavily upon its ability to attract customers to complete purchase transactions on their websites. Even though the number of people who use the Internet every day and visit various shopping sites increases daily, it is interesting to note that quite a few of them still hesitate to purchase online. This study intends to examine what factors play a crucial role in encouraging or discouraging consumers in Thailand from shopping online. The findings from this study should help online businesses better understand the mindset of Thai consumers and find ways to improve websites in order to attract more customers.

FDI对我国价格贸易条件影响的实证分析

本文利用1985～2006年的统计数据,建立了包含价格贸易条件、初级产品进口额、工业制成品出口额、贸易顺差和外资企业出口占我国出口总额的比重这5个变量的协整模型和误差修正模型,对外商直接投资对我国价格贸易条件的影响进行了实证分析,实证结果表明工业制成品出口是导致价格贸易条件恶化的重要原因,而初级产品进口对改善价格贸易条件有正效应,但正效应目前还不显著,FDI对改善我国的价格贸易条件有显著的正效应。在此基础上,本文提出了改善我国价格贸易条件的政策建议。     

Network Flow Models for Electronic Barter Exchanges

Electronic barter exchange sites are starting to appear on the Internet. In this article, I present three models for direct bartering of items without the use of barter units. The first model allows bartering of items with single instances. The second model barters items with multiple instances. Finally, the third model allows bartering collection of single instance items for other collection of items. In these models, my main objective is to maximize the number of items that are bartered. I also discuss other objectives. I develop a minimum cost network flow based algorithm for the problems described by the first and the second models. I make use of directed hypergraphs and integer programming to solve NP-hard Model 3 problems. I believe that the first model can be suitable for Internet domain name bartering. The second model, on the other hand, can be useful for music or book bartering. Efficient software is readily available for the minimum cost network flow problem and hence can be used for the solution of Model 1 and 2 problems.     

The Impact of Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) on M-Commerce Security

Abstract

Mobile commerce (m-commerce) is providing commercial services that are accessible using mobile devices, typically a mobile phone. The main advantage of such services is their high availability, independent of physical location and time. Yet the move to create a wireless version of the Internet means a new set of problems. As with the existing fixed Internet, the biggest problem is security. Despite the fact that operators are announcing or rolling out Wireless Applications Protocol (WAP)-based information and transaction services, the platform has gaping security holes. Because security is the most important feature to the success of m-commerce, this paper studies the security concerns on wireless commercial Internet and presents the features and solutions of WAP to the security of electronic transactions. Most importantly, this paper intends to draw corporate executives' attention to the strong impact of WAP on m-commerce security and the associated benefits to their companies.     

A Smart Card Based Internet Micropayment Infrastructure: Technical Development and User Adoption

As online shopping services proliferate, the need for a secure and convenient payment infrastructure becomes critical. While credit card payment has become common for online purchases, a payment solution has not yet been developed that can be used to support transactions involving a monetary value in the range of a few dollars or even cents. In this study, the authors report their experience in developing a smart card based micropayment infrastructure in collaboration with a major bank. The infrastructure makes use of Mondex, a cash card standard adopted by major financial institutions worldwide. The infrastructure provides a platform to support online transfer of Mondex value over the Internet. Unlike other cash card products, Mondex is the only standard that can support card-to-card transfer without a mediating party. The transactions are immediate and anonymous. This article outlines the technical approach used in the development of the infrastructure and presents a behavioral adoption model to identify and assess factors that may affect its adoption. The findings indicate that the use of the adoption model in the early stages of product development can provide valuable insights to a development team. Theoretical contributions and practical implications specific to the Mondex Internet micropayment infrastructure are also discussed.     

The Nature of and Conditions for Online Trust

As use of the Internet has increased, many issues of trust have arisen. Users wonder: will my privacy be protected if I provide information to this Internet vendor? Will my credit card remain secure? Should I trust that this party will deliver the goods? Will the goods be as described? These questions are not merely academic. A recent Boston Consulting Group study revealed that one out of ten consumers have ordered and paid for items online that never were delivered (Williams, 2001). This year consumers filed around 11,000 complaints with the Federal Trade Commission alleging auction fraud, a figure up from the 107 lodged in 1997. It is no wonder that people are increasingly worried about whom to trust in online interactions. This paper explores the conditions under which online trust thrives and looks at examples of best and worst corporate practices. Online trust issues arise in a wide array of forums – chat rooms, news postings, e-catalogues, and retail transactions, to name a few. This paper focuses primarily on the online retail market, but the analysis applies to informational and entertainment sites as well.     

物联网社会风险演化研究

物联网社会风险的演变过程遵循风险的一般规律,具有典型的高斯分布特性。管理者应关注均数μ和标准差σ这两个变量,以使风险处于可控范围内。从宏观上来看,物联网社会风险的内在演变规律显示其具有无标度网络的幂律分布特性。由此,在物联网社会风险具体应对时,应密切关注其自组织特性、规避其鲁棒性和脆弱性、重视轴心节点,以避免系统风险的产生。
