A tale of two clusters: knowledge and emergence

Cluster emergence is an important topic but weakly conceptualized in the literature. Focusing on the interaction of the local knowledge pool and firm growth, the paper develops a comprehensive framework to understand cluster emergence. In the framework, the cluster formation process starts with the collision of local and external knowledge which generates an innovation and stimulates the creation of local pioneering firms in a new field. To support the growth of follow-up entrants in the new industry, the local knowledge pool needs to be expanded and deepened through local knowledge sharing and external knowledge inflows. The enlarged local knowledge pool enables local firms to grow and explore other fields further. To promote cluster emergence, public policies need to facilitate the interaction of the local knowledge pool and firm growth. The paper illustrates the interactive framework with two aluminum extrusion clusters in China that emerged in different ways over different time periods.     

我国知识产权壁垒研究现状及成因、对策简析——基于文献计量学的视角

随着针对知识产权壁垒研究的开展,学者们当前的研究热点及现状成为需要关注的方向。本研究基于文献计量学的视角,对2005.01-2015.03间CSSCI期刊中收录的以知识产权壁垒为研究主题的研究论文进行统计与关键词归类,并利用Ucinet软件,对知识产权壁垒的研究现状展开分析。研究结果显示,关于知识产权壁垒的研究尚处于起步阶段,研究热点主要集中于知识产权壁垒的定义与表现形式、337调查及应对策略等,而对于知识产权壁垒的成因分析却涉及较少。因此,本文继续以337调查事件为基础,结合我国现实,对知识产权壁垒形成的原因进行归纳,最终为打破知识产权壁垒提供了相应的对策建议。     

专题微课生物化学教学新模式的探索与实践

专题微课教学是基于一门学科或课程的某个重要专题设计开发的教学模式。课题组在生物化学的课程中设计了专题微课。生物化学的专题微课教学包括确立教学目标、教学方法、微课录制与编辑加工等环节，应注意建立全新的网络教学平台、互动式教学、抓好指导小组资料整理等教学策略，其成功需要教师有较高的综合素质和教学技能。实践证明，生物化学的专题微课教学取得了良好的教学效果，学生的成绩有了一定提高。     

经济改革对技术创新能力的影响--基于中国1987～2013年数据的协整分析

本文采用中国1987～2013年的宏观经济数据，对经济改革与技术创新能力之间的关系进行了深入的研究。研究结果表明，经济改革与技术创新能力之间存在单向因果关系，经济改革是技术创新能力变化的原因；长期均衡状态下，技术创新能力提升的近30％可由经济改革解释；短期中，经济改革的短期波动对技术创新能力短期波动的影响在所有的短期波动中占主导地位。

Asset specificity and conditional accounting conservatism

Asset specificity, the redeployability of an asset to alternative uses, is a key determinant of an asset's resale value. Asset specificity has a direct impact on a firm's ongoing fair value determination, bankruptcy risk, liquidation value, and abandonment option. We document a significant negative association between asset specificity and conditional conservatism. Further tests reveal that this inverse relation manifests as bad news being less quickly incorporated in earnings as asset specificity increases. We find no difference in the extent to which good news is delayed in earnings for firms conditional on asset specificity. In addition, the documented association is stronger when asset specificity arises from lower within‐industry acquisition activity. The association is also more pronounced for firms that are in less competitive industries, have institutional investors, have limited access to the public debt market, and/or have more unsecured debt. Our findings are noteworthy for regulators and researchers given the recent interest in the determinants of conservatism.
