A model of community-based festival image

This study initiates an original inquiry into the image of community-based festivals (CBFs). A CBF image model was proposed and empirically tested based on existing destination image models. Four image constructs were identified as Attributes, Family and Friendliness, Affective Association, and Overall Evaluation. The interrelationships among these constructs were tested by structural equation modeling. The findings revealed that Attributes affects Family and Friendliness and Affective Association, which in turn, affects Overall Evaluation. This study also included visitor loyalty in the understanding of CBF image. It was found that repeat visitors had more favorable perceptions of the CBF than did first-time visitors. Significant perceptual differences were found in Family and Friendliness, Affective Association, and Overall Evaluation between the two groups of festival goers. In addition, it was revealed that loyalty exerted significantly negative interaction effects on the relationship between Attributes and Family and Friendliness, as well as the linkage between Family and Friendliness and Overall Evaluation. In addition, this study illustrated the importance of the support of local residents for CBFs. CBF planners and local tourism organizations would benefit from this study in terms of cultivating visitor loyalty to these festivals and building the destination's brand.     

永远在路上——读阮次山的《与世界领袖对话》

读万卷书,行万里路,从来都是新闻记者梦寐以求的最佳生存状态.香港凤凰卫视的阮次山是幸运的.他在主持"风云对话"栏目的8年时间里,跑遍了全世界大约三分之二的国家,访问了350多位各国和地区政界要人.阮次山是否读过"万卷书"没有考据,但就这些访谈的内容来看,不做长期积累和认真扎实的案头准备,恐难胜任."行万里路"倒是丝毫不虚,因为有些访谈,正是在飞机上抓紧完成的.

Two-Sided Bounds for Ruin Probabilities when the Adjustment Coefficient does not Exist

In this paper, we derive two-sided bounds for the ruin probability in the compound Poisson risk model when the adjustment coefficient of the individual claim size distribution does not exist. These bounds also apply directly to the tails of compound geometric distributions. The upper bound is tighter than that of Dickson (1994). The corresponding lower bound, which holds under the same conditions, is tighter than that of De Vylder and Goovaerts (1984). Even when the adjustment coefficient exists, the upper bound is, in some cases, tighter than Lundberg's bound. These bounds are applicable for any positive distribution function with a finite mean. Examples are given and numerical comparisons with asymptotic formulae for the ruin probability are also considered.

深圳服务业发展特征研究

本文分析深圳服务业的演进阶段、内部结构、空间布局,归纳了深圳服务业发展的基本特征。深圳的服务业发展与工业高度协同,与北京、上海和广州相比,在结构上以消费性服务为主体,高度依托房地产行业。深圳服务业呈现明显的聚集特征,而向郊区扩散的趋势并不明显,不同类型的服务业的聚集地区有所差别。本文旨在为深圳服务业的发展定位及空间差异化发展提供理论依据。     

福音还是诅咒?——管制政策在服务贸易中的两难

在服务贸易自由化进程中,把"服务贸易自由化"等同于对服务业"解除管制"的观点是错误的,把管制政策看成是服务贸易壁垒的观点也是错误的.政府必须寻求对外降低管制(对外降低服务业进入壁垒)与对内加强管制(规范与完善服务业的市场机制)两者的结合.自由与管制两者在服务贸易中并不冲突.另外,在服务贸易开放过程中,一国政府在对本国服务业进行管制时,应更重视内导向型管制政策对服务贸易所产生的促进效应,这对于服务贸易自由化意义更为重大.
