Aggregate investor preferences and beliefs in stock market: A stochastic dominance analysis

This paper analyzes whether the market portfolio is efficiently related to benchmark portfolios formed on size, value, momentum and reversal with various utility theories by using stochastic dominance criteria. The results support the prospect theory including assumption of loss aversion at monthly and yearly horizons, which indicates the market utility is S-shaped, and steeper for losses than for gains. And, the findings do not provide convincing evidence for positive skewness preference. Therefore, it should probe into asset pricing model and financial puzzles by prospect theory preferences. It may thus be difficult for the market to benefit from the asset through its features on skewness or other higher order central moment. We also develop several bootstrap procedures with favorable properties in statistical size and power for testing stochastic dominance efficiency.     

Who are ‘managing’ the lawyers in China? Control and commitment in an evolving institutional and cultural context and gendered implications

National legal systems are distinctive with strong institutional legacies and societal contexts. Research on the lawyers' work and their operating environment in China has been limited. This study fills part of this gap by investigating the nature of work and career prospect, with gendered implications, in six Chinese law firms. We argue that the lack of commitment to each other between the employer and the lawyers is a result of the governance structure, culture and business process of the law firms, societal norms, market pressure and the active involvement of other stakeholders. The political, economic, social and physical insecurity that engulfs lawyers' work environment undermines their ability to uphold justice for the weak, standards of the profession and ethical values of the society. The study has implications for western law firms operating in China as well as for Chinese law firms that intend to internationalize as part of an emerging trend of Chinese professional services firms. It also has broader implications for human resource management of professional services organizations in China.     

An Empirical Analysis on Capital Flows: The Case of Korea and Mexico

This paper discusses causes of capital flows in Korea and Mexico. Both countries received substantial amounts of foreign capital in the late 1980s and early 1990s. International capital helped these countries achieve a higher standard of living and faster economic growth. However, undesirable macroeconomic effects such as appreciation of real exchange rate and widening current account deficits usually accompany foreign capital inflows. The vector autoregressive (VAR) method is applied to investigate the underlying shocks causing the capital inflows. The main findings are that the U.S. business cycle and shocks to foreign interest rates account for more than 50% of capital inflows to both countries in the past two decades.

宏观调控对民营经济的影响

经对我国历次宏观调控尤其是第五轮宏观调控研究表明,每次宏观调控影响最大的就是民营企业,主要影响为融资成本增加、垄断壁垒更高等等,从目前的情况来看,民营企业面临严重生存压力.而政府总是处在这样的悖论之中:政策导向及出发点希望民营经济大发展以拉动经济带动更多就业、创造更多的财富,但在实际的政策出台过程中,则表现民营经济的生存环境更加严峻.值得欣喜的是,决策层也逐步感受到了此点并开始逐步反思宏观调控.在本文中,笔者深入分析了最近一轮宏观调控及其对民营经济的影响,并提出多项实质性建议,希望民营经济在宏观调控的政策中能够更加健康、良性的发展.

Effects of Gender Differences on Perceptions of Destination Attributes,Motivations, and Travel Values: An Examination of a Nature-Based Resort Destination

This study examines the perceptions of the potential tourist market to a nature-based resort destination from the gendered perspective. The research reveals that significant gender differences exist about the perceived importance of destination attributes and travel values when potential nature tourists consider destination choices. After controlling for demographic and travel behaviour variables, such as age, marital status, education, household income, preference of price quote and length of stay, most gender differences remain significant. In addition, more significant distinctions between men and women are demonstrated after controlling for age and income level. The study provides insights into gendered perceptions of nature-based tourism settings. Specific marketing implications are discussed in an attempt to successfully attract nature tourists and provide a high-quality nature destination experience.
