Configuring a corporate venturing portfolio to create growth value: Within-portfolio diversity and strategic linkage

This study attempted an empirical investigation of whether and how a corporate investor can enhance future growth opportunities through corporate venturing investments (CVIs). Different from previous studies, we assessed the firm-level performance impact of a CVI portfolio with a focus on two configuration features: within-portfolio diversity and strategic linkage. Based on a longitudinal dataset of CVIs made by Taiwanese technology-based companies, we found that increasing CVI portfolio diversity and maintaining strategic linkages, particularly vertical ones, between the portfolio companies and the investing firm's core business will add value to the investing firm's future growth. Implications for CVI strategy and opportunities for future research are also discussed.     

基于噪声甄别模型的我国FDI福利效应的差异性分析——来自1997-2009年的数据证据

运用含有噪声的甄别博弈模型,分析得出东道国在引资过程中需要结合自身情况和其他引资国的政策制定符合本国福利增进的引资分割点,且东道国引资优惠额度越大反而越有可能损害本国福利。在此基础上结合我国1997-2009年引进FDI数据进行实证分析得出:(1)整体FDI对我国福利效应的增加带来了积极作用,但FDI对收入福利指数的贡献较小,对生产福利指数贡献较大;(2)自2005年开始,制造行业FDI对我国福利增加的贡献率趋于减小且有恶化趋势;而处于农、林、牧、渔业和信息传输、计算机服务和软件行业的FDI对我国福利的贡献率却逐渐增加;(3)处于后危机时代的FDI在引资政策上更应该重视产业导向以提升FDI的正向福利效应。

加入 WTO十年来中国对外反倾销实践分析

自2001年加入WTO十年来,中国成为了目前世界上对外实施反倾销最多的国家之一,本文将对十年来我国对外反倾销的实践做出总结分析。我国的反倾销实践在调查时间、调查的结果、反倾销税率、反倾销的国别与产品方面,与世界其他国家相比既有共通之处,也有自己的特点。而在政策效果方面,我国的反倾销措施对于国内产业的救济和涉案产品的进口限制收效显著;同时,反倾销带来的进口转移、直接投资规避现象等也比较明显。     

基于智力资本的战略联盟企业价值创造

文章的研究对象是智力资本与战略联盟企业价值创造的关系,属于企业组织层面的研究。在阐明智力资本与战略联盟企业价值创造关系的理论基础上,通过31家参与战略联盟的上市公司的智力资本与其企业价值的回归分析,发现智力资本显著影响战略联盟企业价值创造。通过本文的研究,认为战略联盟企业应该提高智力资本,从而在战略联盟活动中获取更大的收益。     

“钱才”集聚论与我国金融中心建设

本文在梳理金融中心相关文献的基础上,提出金融中心的钱才集聚论,认为金融中心实质上是金融资源相对集聚的场所,而金融资本和金融人才的集聚则是各类金融资源集聚的基础。我国金融中心建设需要把握金融资源集聚的关键环节,创造良好的环境,促进钱、才等金融资源集聚。     

Using choice experiments to value catchment and estuary health in Tasmania with individual preference heterogeneity*

Choice experiments (CE) have become widespread as an approach to environmental valuation in both Australia and overseas. However, there are few valuation studies that have addressed natural resource management (NRM) changes in Tasmania. Furthermore, few studies have focussed on the estimation of estuary values. The CE study described in this paper aims to analyse community preferences for NRM options in the George catchment, Tasmania. Catchment health attributes were: the length of native riverside vegetation; the number of rare native animal and plant species in the George catchment; and area of healthy seagrass beds in the Georges Bay, which was used as a measure of estuary condition. Mixed logit models with interactions between socio‐economic variables and the choice attributes were estimated to account for systematic and random taste heterogeneity across respondents. Results reveal considerable variation in preferences towards the attributes and show that value estimates are significantly impacted by the way in which we account for preference heterogeneity. Preference heterogeneity thus needs to be considered when estimating community willingness‐to‐pay for environmental changes. This study further shows little responsiveness to the presented changes in estuary seagrass area.     

Interlocked Village Markets and Trader Idiosyncrasy in Rural India

The role of traders and traditional exchange institutions has received little attention in empirical research on rural markets in developing countries. We use detailed data on transactions in a village commodity market in India and identify two observed anomalies: first, the repeal of the law of one price, and second, a trader‐idiosyncratic effect, namely that large volumes are sold to a trader who does not offer the best price. Econometric analysis demonstrates that trader idiosyncrasy can largely be explained by reciprocity motives in interlocked village markets. Reciprocity leads to market inefficiencies and can result in unexpected supply responses.     

Foot‐and‐mouth disease and the Mexican cattle industry

The objective of this article is to analyze the domestic and international effects of a hypothetical foot‐and‐mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in the Mexican cattle industry. A discrete time dynamic optimization model of the Mexican cattle sector is specified, and linked to domestic and international markets. Economic consequences of FMD outbreaks are simulated over time and under different scenarios. Specific findings and general policy recommendations are provided. The study reports a range of outbreaks from localized to large scale and suggests that changes in economic surplus due to FMD range from a positive net gain of $0.89 to $1.6 billion to a net loss of about $67 billion, depending on the specific mitigation strategy and outbreak scenario.
