Price Rigidity and the Selection of the Exchange Rate Regime

We evaluate and qualify Friedman's, 1953, “case for flexible exchange rates” in the presence of sticky prices in a two country model. We find that a flexible regime performs indeed better when the degree of nominal price rigidity is high while a bilateral peg does better when prices are fairly flexible. This result obtains independent of whether monetary policy is activistic or not and is mostly due to the negative relationship between employment and productivity shocks when prices are relatively sluggish (Gali, 1999). A unilateral peg tends to produce the lowest level of world welfare but it sometimes represents the best monetary arrangement for the pegger. JEL Classification Numbers: E32, E52, F33, F42     

供应链库存优化管理模型研究

供应链库存管理是供应链管理的重要组成部分,如何设置和维持一个合理的订货量和库存水平量,以平衡存货不足带来的短缺风险和损失,以及库存过多所增加仓储成本和资金成本,成为一个企业必须回答的问题。本文从供应链整体角度出发,提出了在缺货费用很小以至于可忽略的前提下,适应供应链模式下,新的库存控制优化模型,并以简单实证加以研究。     

企业长期激励机制创新

长期激励机制匮乏问题一直是我国理论界和实业界最为关注的核心问题。指出目前在我国实行的长期激励措施的不足,提出了以“股息期权”,代替“股票期权”的激励方案,从而有效解决了我国目前的资本市场和法律法规对于“长期激励形式”的约束,可以为现阶段企业管理者进行薪酬激励机制设计时提供重要的参考和借鉴。     

Measuring Hospital Performance in the Presence of Quasi-Fixed Inputs: An Analysis of Québec Hospitals

This research proposes an approach to measure hospital performance based on a generalization of Banker and Morey (1986) and Førsund (1996). This approach considers quasi-fixed inputs explicitly, calculates their implicit cost, and quantifies returns to scale. The performance measure is decomposed into allocative and technical inefficiencies. Based on a very complete data set of Québec hospitals, we find that significant inefficiencies of up to 17% ($700 CAN million) could have been saved through improved performance. Postestimation analyses that include qualitative measures of care suggest that differences in performance are attributable to differences in management or unobservable quality of care rather than patient case mix.     

在铁路货运营销中运用价格策略的探讨

价格是市场营销组合的重要因素。铁路货物运价制度运用得当与否直接关系着吸引运量的多少和使路运输企业利润的高低。并影响着运输市场营销组合的其它因素。根据营销环境的变化，灵活调整价格，科学制定价格策略，才能使企业获得最佳的经济效益。本文通过分析现行运价体系存在的问题，就如何在铁路货运营销活动中运用价格策略进行了探讨。     

进入权理论下的会计师事务所股权设置

Rajan和Zingales提出了进入权理论，认为企业的权力来源于进入权，即对关键资源接触和使用的权力。本文结合会计师事务所的特征，在分析其关键资源的基础上，建议会计师事务所的股权应设置为财产股、岗位股、贡献股。     

建设工程施工专业分包的合同价款支付

以我国现行建设法规为依据，借鉴成熟的国际工程总分包合同体系——FIDIC合同体系，研究我国分包合同文本处理合同价款支付问题的成功与不足，使按照合同控制工程造价，控制质量和进度能真正落到实处。     

基于价值工程理论的房地产性价比确定

高性价比已成为房地产开发商和消费者共同追求的目标,然而长期以来性价比都只是定性描述。本文建立了房地产性能评价指标体系,并应用价值工程理论构建了房地产性价比的确定模型,将其定量化,最后通过一个案例进行了说明。     

可修复航材二级库存模型研究

首先分析了可修复航材的消耗规律;其次以期望缺货数作为目标函数,建立了可修复器材的二级库存优化模型;最后利用进化计算理论制定了该模型的求解算法,并通过算例对该方法进行了验证.     

The housing question in Japan

This article first examines how bad housing conditions are in Japan based on international comparisons. The next question is whether the extremely high land prices in Japan can be explained by economic logic. We then turn to more specific housing policy questions that are peculiar to or important in Japan, such as the tax advantages of owning land that have caused under-utilization of land and the reasons why the average size of Japanese rental housing is so small.
