《文心雕龙》的文气说考论

先秦汉魏时期关于气论的代表性观点可归纳为哲学层面、审美层面与文论概念的三种形态,这正是刘勰《文心雕龙》文气论思想的来源。刘勰主要继承和发展了《周易》阴阳刚柔的气论思想与曹丕文气“清浊”说。刘勰文气论内涵多样,最大的贡献有两点,一是在文论史上首次确立了刚柔风格类型说,并以“刚柔相摩,八卦相荡”的理论支撑,推演出了《体性》篇“数穷八体”的八体风格类型,二是以文气论风骨,提倡刚健的文风。

审计委员会、董事会特征与财务呈报质量:基于中国证券市场的实证研究

Board independence and the board’s expertise characteristics are key factors influencing the quality of financial reporting. Companies, having a higher percentage of independent directors, having independent financial directors, or having an audit committee on board are more likely to generate quality accounting earnings information. Variables representing board behavior characteristics, namely, ratio of shares owned by the board, board meeting frequency within a year, and the number of independent directors holding posts concurrently in the controlling shareholder’s company, are not significantly related to the quality of financial reporting. Board meeting frequency is even abnormally negatively related to the quality of financial reporting. Translated from Guangli Pinglun 管理评论 (Business Review), 2006, (7): 49–56

User Perceptions of Mobile and Online Channels for Purchasing Financial Products

ABSTRACT

This study investigates users' perceptions of costs and benefits of mobile versus online, PC-based, channels for accessing financial information and completing financial transactions. Results indicate that, in the financial services context, the mobile channel has no perceived advantages over the online channel. The older online channel does have several perceived advantages related to transaction cost, risk, ease of use, meeting financial goals, and information accessibility. The channels are similar on four dimensions, but most of the similarities arise because the online and mobile channels enable purchase of the same financial products. Finally, users are more willing to use the mobile channel for less risky tasks (accessing information) than they are for more risky tasks (buying financial products).

中美金融服务国际贸易竞争力对比及启示

中国开放金融服务市场后,国内金融机构将面临国外同行的激烈竞争。文章在对我国金融服务国际贸易竞争力进行时序比较分析的基础上,与美国进行比较。研究发现．美国金融服务国际贸易占据强大技术优势,处于比较成熟和稳定的状态中,而我国国际金融服务贸易波动剧烈,竞争力非常低。若毫无保护地完全放开中国金融业。会极大地威胁到中国金融的安全。故须从宏观和微观层面上共同努力,才能保证我国金融服务国际贸易竞争力的稳步增强。宏观上需要科学控制金融市场自由化的进程,保证金融服务发展需要的开放和保护均衡的大环境：微观上,必须全面结合信息技术,提升金融部门的业务创新能力,满足多元化的金融需求。

Financial Adviser Anxiety,Financial Literacy,and Financial Advice Seeking

Seeking professional financial advice to assist with financial decision making is an important option for consumers faced with increased responsibility for their own financial circumstances. We explore the role of two potential barriers/enablers to accessing financial advice. First, we explore the role of a variety of financial literacy measures to explain observed financial advice consultation. Second, we introduce a newly developed measure of financial adviser anxiety. We define adviser anxiety as (an existing or prospective clients') concerns involving the prospect of meeting with a financial adviser. The notion of adviser anxiety is inspired by evidence from medical settings that suggest individuals may refrain from seeking advice when objectively, it is in their best interests to do so. This anxiety may be due to embarrassment, worry, or other forms of apprehension associated with the consultation process. A new scale is presented which has strong validity and a demonstrated ability to explain reported future levels of professional advice seeking.
