使用差价补偿策略的寡头竞争模型

差价补偿策略,是近年来在国内兴起的一种企业间竞争策略。从博弈论角度来看,对消费者承诺差价补偿,即是向竞争对手发出了一种不打价格战的可置信的威胁信号,可以有效地避免企业间的价格竞争;从市场营销角度来看,差价补偿策略会影响消费者行为,改变消费者预期,最终促使市场竞争向着企业有利的方向发展。本文对差价补偿策略建立了一个数学模型,分析企业采用差价补偿策略的原因以及竞争双方博弈的均衡结果。     

On strategic complementarity conditions in Bertrand oligopoly

Summary. For Bertrand duopoly with linear costs, we establish via a single (counter-)example that: (i) A new monotone transformation of the firms' profit functions may lead to the supermodularity of transformed profits when the standard log and identity transformations both fail to do so, and (ii) Topkis's notion of critical sufficient condition for monotonicity of a Bertrand firm's best-reply correspondence cannot be extended to rely only on positive unit costs.

旅行社价格战的博弈分析

旅行社是旅游产品设计、组织和销售的渠道商以及消费者之间的桥梁.旅行社对旅游业具有重要影响，旅行社之间的价格竞争日益严重，盈利率低。随着我国加入世贸组织，越来越多的外国旅行社进入我国、针对我国旅行社如何走出困境，本文从博弈角度分析旅行社的价格竞争及其对策。     

Government as a discriminating monopolist in the financial market: the case of China

We show that the many unusual features of China’s financial markets are consistent with a government choosing regulations to maximize a standard type of social welfare function. Under certain conditions, these regulations are equivalent to imposing explicit taxes on business and interest income, yet should be much easier to enforce. The observed implicit tax rates are broadly in line with those observed in other countries. The theory also forecasts, however, that China will face increasing incentives over time to shift to explicit taxes.     

房地产价格与通货膨胀、产出的关系——理论分析与基于中国数据的实证检验

本文运用一个简单的数理模型与四象限模型分析了房地产价格影响通货膨胀与产出的机制,结论是:房地产价格通过影响总需求对物价水平产生压力,其中,房价对储蓄的边际影响十分重要。在此基础上,综合运用相关性分析、协整检验、脉冲响应函数与方差分解等方法实证检验我国房地产价格与通货膨胀、产出的关系,其结论是:短期内,房地产价格对通货膨胀与产出的影响十分有限,长期则对通货膨胀与产出产生重要的影响,并且,在房价与通货膨胀、产出之间存在正反馈作用机制。这意味着在一个平稳的宏观经济环境中,这种正反馈机制可能会引发经济过热和房价泡沫。     

价格歧视战略与福利效应分析

在完全竞争市场条件下 ,竞争均衡可实现帕累托最优效率。垄断市场一般很难提供价格等于边际成本的产量水平 ,其产量与价格选择对社会来说不是最优的。垄断厂商以内生范畴和外生范畴为基础对消费者进行分类 ,使得价格歧视成为一种可行战略。由于定价策略存在差异 ,不同类型的价格歧视便具有不同的福利效应。     

价格涨跌幅限制起到了助涨助跌作用吗?

价格涨跌幅限制是否具有助涨助跌作用对于判断涨跌幅限制的实施效果具有重要的意义。既有的研究表明 ,股价在发生涨跌停时存在一定的过度反应。然而 ,本研究发现 ,在股价发生涨跌停时 ,虽然涨跌幅限制不能完全消除过度反应 ,但是可以显著地减小而不是增大过度反应的程度。本研究还发现 ,价格涨跌停本身并不是导致过度反应的原因 ,因为股价不仅在涨跌停时存在过度反应 ,而且在大幅度变化但未达到涨跌停时也存在过度反应。本文据此认为 ,没有证据表明价格涨跌幅限制具有助涨助跌作用。     

证券交易机制影响股价吗?——对中国股票市场的再检验

本文在对分别按照开盘价和收盘价计算的两种收益率的比较中发现了极值聚集现象 ,文中将形成这一现象的原因归结于市场中涨跌幅限制的存在 ,并建立了一个简单模型对此进行了说明。其后 ,利用市场中不存在涨跌幅限制时期的数据对该模型进行了验证。在结论部分 ,本文分析了除交易机制外造成两种收益率差异的其他因素 ,并认为有关交易机制对股价行为影响的研究有待深入。     

Do the Forward Sales of Real Estate Stabilize Spot Prices?

We examine the effect of forward sale (pre-sale) activities on the volatility of spot prices in the real estate market. The abundance of pre-sales data and major changes in regulatory control on the pre-sale market during the 90's in Hong Kong allow us to undertake empirical tests using Hong Kong's real estate data. Our results show that the volatility of spot prices increased significantly after forward sales were severely dampened by regulatory control measures introduced in 1994, but decreased again when the measures were partly relaxed in 1998. The results contribute to the long lasting debate on whether the introduction of a futures market reduces the volatility of spot prices. Previous studies were mainly conducted in markets with low transaction costs, notably financial markets. By utilizing the unique regulatory changes in the pre-sale market of Hong Kong, we are able to conduct an experiment on the conditional volatility of spot prices in a high information-cost environment, thereby shedding light on the important role of forward housing contracts in providing price expectation information for spot trading.     

What can we learn from past price stabilization policies and market reform in Mexico?

This paper reviews experience with policy reforms in the maize sector in Mexico, beginning in the 1980s with particular reference to impacts on price variability. It analyses Mexico’s transition from past price stabilization policies under a state-trading enterprise to market reforms implemented during the 1990s. The nature, extent, and costs to producers and consumers of maize policies is discussed for both the pre-reform and the reform periods. Although wide ranging reforms have been introduced, impacts on efficiency and fiscal outlays have been less than expected.
