Regional differences in a national culture and their effects on leadership effectiveness: A tale of two neighboring Chinese cities

We argue that regional differences in a large culture influence leadership effectiveness. Studying the differences and their consequences on leader–member exchange (LMX) and the employee performances in two neighboring Chinese cities, our empirical results show significant differences between group supervisors in Hong Kong and those in Shenzhen. Hong Kong supervisors apply the LMX technique more aggressively, and also more successfully than their Shenzhen counterparts in terms of improving employee performance and reducing turnover.     

文拉法辛与阿米替林治疗年轻女性首发抑郁症对照研究

目的研究文拉法辛治疗年轻女性首发抑郁症的有效性及安全性。方法采用随机、单盲对照法,将120例18～40岁的首发抑郁症女性患者分为研究组(文拉法辛)和对照组(阿米替林),疗程8周。结果研究组显效率为59.7%,有效率为87.1%,对照组显效率为60.3%,有效率为86.2%,两药差异无显著(P>0.05)。治疗第2周末,研究组的HAMD减分率高于对照组(t=2.68,P<0.05)。治疗第4周末,研究组的TESS评分低于对照组,两组差异显著性(P<0.05)。结论文拉法辛治疗年轻女性首发抑郁症有效且不良反应较少,依从性好,耐受性好。     

新中国成立60周年新疆的工业发展回顾与成就

解放前，新疆的工业几乎一片空白。新疆成立后，在国家的大力支持下，新疆工业发展从无到有、从小到大，特别是改革开放三十年，更是新疆工业发展最快、成效最好的时期。本文通过对新疆工业发展历程的回顾，阐述了新疆工业发展取得的显著成就，即逐步形成了以石油天然气开采和石油化工为主导，以纺织、轻工、建材、钢铁、电力为支柱，包含煤炭、食品、机械电子、有色金属等门类较为齐全、产品丰富、特色鲜明的较为完善的现代工业体系。     

美国“进步时代”改革的中国城市之鉴

当一个国家、一个城市因为急剧的社会经济变迁而失去某种固有的、习惯了的平衡的时候,人们不必为之沮丧、惊诧,美国就因此进行进步时代大改革,其中最突出的是四大治理理念的转变,即对过度自由放任少数人垄断的传统资本主义说不;重新界定政府的角色和作用;社会责任被赋予了国家与个人的内涵;重新理解民主,并确立了进步时代改革的政治目标、行政目标与经济目标。借鉴世界城市治理的成功之道,我们必须不断完善中国城市的运营之策、可持续之略。     

Evasion behaviors of exporters and importers: Evidence from the U.S.–China trade data discrepancy

Since the late 1990s, reported U.S. imports from China and Hong Kong have regularly and increasingly exceeded reported exports of China and Hong Kong to the United States. This discrepancy, which is not caused by re-exporting through Hong Kong, varies by product categories, and in some cases takes the opposite sign. In this paper, we focus on China's direct exports to the United States. Using a model that allows for simultaneous misreporting to two authorities, we find strong statistical evidence of under-reporting exports at the Chinese border to avoid paying value-added tax (VAT). The value of VAT avoided is estimated at $6.5 billion during 2002–2008, and the associated understatements account for approximately two-thirds of the discrepancy. We also provide evidence of tariff evasion at the U.S. border, in particular for related-party transactions, and indirect evidence of transfer pricing and evasion of Chinese capital controls. An estimated $2 billion of U.S. tariff revenue is lost due to such evasion during 2002–2008, which reduces the apparent size of the statistical discrepancy.     

外汇储备增长对我国物价影响的实证分析

2007年以来,我国物价水平出现持续攀升的势头。2008年1～4月份,居民消费价格水平同比上涨8.2%。与物价上涨相对应的是我国外汇储备水平创出了历史新高,截至2008年6月末,我国外汇储备余额达1.8万亿美元。那么,外汇储备增长与物价上涨之间有没有直接的联系?本文从短期和长期两个视角,理论和实证相结合探讨了我国外汇储备增长对物价上涨的影响及其作用机制。     

推荐奖励计划对消费者推荐意愿的影响

推荐奖励计划是近些年发展起来的一种口碑管理工具,是企业通过一定形式的奖励来刺激已有顾客推荐新顾客的营销方案。本研究探索了推荐奖励计划在推荐数量限制、奖励力度、奖励对象和奖励物形式四个方面的设置对消费者推荐意愿的影响,检验了消费者意见领袖倾向的调节效应,并从感知推荐价值和感知社会风险视角探讨了推荐奖励计划对消费者推荐意愿影响的中介机制。     

示范性双语案例式互动教学模式研究——以《组织行为学》为例的理论框架与验证设计

双语教学是我国高等教育与国际接轨的必然趋势,也是当前高等教学改革的热点和重点之一。目前,我国有许多高校已开展全英语教学实践,进行了有益的探索,在取得一定经验的同时,也存在各种问题。本研究按照知识体系特点,根据Michael H.Long等西方学者的互动假说,对本科《组织行为学》示范性双语案例式互动教学模式,在理论设计、教学实践以及效果测试等方面进行了探讨和研究,并提出相关建议。
