内外部能源价差对我国工业部门能源效率的影响研究

引入能源价格的Cobb-Douglas成本函数,利用能源效率的经验决定模型对影响我国工业部门能源效率的因素进行实证分析,特别是利用蛉回归对我国工业部门36个二位数行业进行行业分析并在此基础上运用面板数据模型对我国整个工业部门的能源效率影响因素的作用力度进行测量.结果显示:行业产值、技术水平、产业结构和能源消费结构构成工业部门能源效率的直接原因,同时内外部能源价差通过其他因素对能源效率的作用明显.总体来看,产业结构的优化升级以及能源消费结构的调整对于能源效率的提高尚有很大的空间,实践中应强调能源价格政策在提高能源效率和节能减排过程中的积极意义.     

Top management: the missing stakeholder in the HRM literature

Abstract

Despite the significant influence that top management exerts on different aspects of people management, it remains the missing stakeholder in the HRM literature. In this paper, we take stock of previous research, and conclude that it is scarce and lacks consolidation. On the basis of our findings, but also thinking in terms of what is still missing, we develop a conceptual framework that may guide further research, advocating for the need to consider co-evolutionary approaches in an attempt to integrate selection and adaptation perspectives, as well as multi-level and multi-actor factors. Future work should systematically address and distinguish top management characteristics from top management agency and link these more clearly to a diversity of HRM dimensions. By doing so, scholars will help to firmly incorporate the role of top management in the research agenda of HRM and pursue different avenues that can be scientifically sound as well as practically relevant.     

Ranking economics departments in the US South: an update

This study provides an update to Mixon and Upadhyaya’s (2001) ranking of Southern economics departments using research output indexed in EconLit. Ranking results from a ‘core’ (i.e. the top five faculty researchers) of each institution’s economics department reveal that Vanderbilt University, George Mason University, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Maryland and Georgia State University currently maintain the top five economics departments, respectively, in the US South. Relatedly, the five institutions rising the most from Mixon and Upadhyaya (2001) are Tulane University, Georgia State University, University of Texas–Dallas, Rice University and Florida International University, respectively.     

Economic burden of hypoglycemia: Utilization of emergency department and outpatient services in the United States (2005–2009)

Objective: To estimate the economic burden of hypoglycemia on the healthcare system at the national level in the US between the years of 2005–2009.

Methods: This study analyzed the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS), including emergency department (ED) and outpatient department (OPD) components, and the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS). The annual rates of ED and OPD visits associated with hypoglycemia were reported. Subsequent medical services after disposition were studied. The unit cost of specific medical service was estimated from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). All annualized costs were adjusted to US 2009 dollars. We also estimated the rates of injury and ambulance use incurring within a visit for hypoglycemia.

Results: The total direct medical cost of hypoglycemia was estimated as $3.49 billion in 2005 and decreased gradually to $1.84 billion in 2009. The declining trend was correlated with hospital admissions from ED, which decreased from 170 665 in 2005 to 71,751 in 2009. Consequently, the estimated annual expenditure of hospitalization for hypoglycemia from ED declined over time by more than half ($2.90 billion in 2005, $1.25 billion in 2009). Injury was reported among 9.5% of the ED visits for hypoglycemia. Ambulances were used among 58% of the ED visits for hypoglycemia.

Conclusion: Hypoglycemia poses a significant burden on the healthcare system; however, annual direct medical cost of severe hypoglycemia in the US decreased over the 5 years studied, which is attributable to tremendous decrease in need of hospitalization following an ED visit.

我国大部制改革的困境与整体性治理

以部门合并与调整为特征的大部制改革面临专业分工与整体协调、规模效应与管理成本、职权划分静态性与公共需求动态性、公共服务一体化与社会需求多样化之间的冲突。以跨界性合作为核心特征的整体政府理论为大部制改革的深化指明了方向,有助于消除大部门间的缝隙,优化大部门体制的外部治理结构,形成职能有机统一的政府体制。只有以职能目标整合为基础,进行纽织机构、公共政策、政务信息和组织文化的全面整合,才能达到大部制改革的预期目标。     

巴萨效应在中国适用性的实证分析

在解释一国经济增长同该国货币的实际汇率关系问题上,"巴拉萨-萨缪尔森效应"是最具影响力的理论之一。该模型自提出后,在很大程度上对购买力平价理论进行了修正和扩展,并在世界范围内取得了实证经验。鉴于工资传导机制在该理论推导中的重要地位,本文将其作为切入点,采用实证分析方法证明该理论在中国不能直接适用并进一步提出了中国劳动力市场的特殊性是巴萨效应适用冲突的重要原因之一。
