Economic Globalization and Inflation in China: A Multivariate Approach

This paper evaluates whether globalization has increased the role of global factors in driving inflation in China. Unlike other published studies on the relationship between globalization and inflation, which mostly use Phillips curve models, this paper uses multivariate dynamic models to examine the dynamic interactions between globalization and inflation in China. Empirical results with quarterly data spanning from 1995 to 2012 show that the global output gap significantly affects the dynamics of inflation in China. In particular, the global output gap is superior to the domestic output gap in predicting domestic inflation. Impulse response and variance decomposition analyses reinforce this finding. Our results indicate that the central bank of China should take developments in global output into account in its monetary policy‐making process.     

中国主要贵金属资源利用及关键性评估

贵金属资源同时具备工业属性和金融属性，不仅关系着国民经济的发展，更关系着国家的金融安全和国防安全。中国经济的发展带动了矿产资源需求的增加，对贵金属的需求量也是全球之最。本文参照欧盟的关键性矩阵研究，从经济重要性和供应风险两个维度，对金、银、铂、钯4种贵金属的供应风险开展研究，得到了中国贵金属的关键性矩阵，综合来看，4种贵金属的经济重要性由大到小的顺序为金>银>铂> 钯，供应风险由大到小的顺序为银>钯>铂>金。     

The relation among self-efficacy,learning approaches,and academic performance: an exploratory study

Self-efficacy influences students’ activities, effort and persistence, and it can help predict their motivation and academic performance. This study attempts to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy, preferred learning methods, and academic performance under different learning methods in a unique hospitality course setting. The results indicate that hospitality management students prefer a “learn by doing” approach instead of computer-based learning and lecturing. This study concludes that self-efficacy affects the academic performance in both lecturing and practical learning in hospitality education. However, students’ preference in terms of learning methods does not influence their academic performance. Emphasizing “learn by doing” in the hospitality higher education curriculum is recommended in addition to recruiting faculty members with extensive industry experience. Conversely, it is recommended that faculty find the means to increase students’ self-efficacy when adopting different teaching approaches.     

Do regional house prices converge or diverge in China?

This paper aims to test whether the regional house prices are convergent or divergent in China using a monthly panel data set of China’s 70 large and medium-sized cities from July 2005 to December 2010. This issue is closely related to understanding the efficiency of the country-level housing policies made by China’s central government. The test results suggest that the regional house prices in China are generally divergent, and thereby the country-level policies may be inefficient since they do not explicitly take the strong heterogeneity of China’s regional housing markets into consideration. As a consequence, it may be better for China’s central government to further decentralize and devolve its governance toward the housing market to the local governments.     

石台县土壤硒资源分布特征及其利用

[目的]为实现对石台县土壤天然富硒资源的合理利用,促进石台县经济发展。[方法]文章通过实地调查与资料分析的方法,研究了石台县土壤硒资源空间分布的特点和土壤富硒资源利用途径。[结果]石台县土壤硒均值为0.5556mg/kg,达到富硒水平,石台县富硒地区占全县的28.73%,中硒地区占全县面积的67.62%,富硒地区主要分布在仙寓镇、七都镇、大演乡、丁香镇、仁里镇。石台县土壤硒含量主要与成土母岩、土壤质地、成土过程、土壤有机质和人类活动等影响因素有关。[结论]石台县土壤硒资源利用可以通过发展富硒茶、富硒米、富硒养生旅游、生态富硒高山蔬菜和瓜果、富硒中药材、富硒黑猪肉和富硒牛肉等富硒产业,富硒茶区域应设置在仙寓、七都、大演、矶滩、横渡5个乡镇,富硒米种植区域应设置在台县东部的七都镇和南部的仙寓镇,富硒养生旅游可以设置在横渡镇、仙寓镇、大演乡、丁香镇、小河镇,生态富硒蔬菜和瓜果应集中分布于石台县横渡、仁里、矶滩、七井等地,富硒养殖业可以分布在石台县西部的小河镇。     

国企利润分配制度改革与资本积累

依据鲍尔斯等学者对"剩余产品"的相关论述,本文将国企利润分配制度改革分为"利润控制主体改革"和"利润使用方式改革",按照这两个维度,立足于《资本论》中的理论与方法,建立了马克思主义理论框架,对国企利润分配制度改革作出了新的阶段划分,并解释了新中国成立以来国有工业企业的长期资本积累历程。本文的基本结论是,"利润控制主体改革"和"利润使用方式改革"均影响资本积累。当前,深化国有资本经营预算改革面临的真正挑战是预算支出结构改革将导致公平与效率的权衡,在民生支出提高的情况下需要保证国有资本经营预算的相对独立性,切实提高国有资本经营生产性支出效率。     

基于加权Voronoi多边形的山区农村居民点优化布局———以重庆市崇龛镇与石龙镇为例

中国的城市化进程伴随着农村人口向城市大量转移,使得乡村普遍面临人口流失、耕地撂荒及居民点闲置等问题,严重限制农村地区的经济发展,影响基础设施与公共服务设施的配置效率。优化农村居民点布局,实现资源的集约节约利用是国家新型城镇化规划的重要内容。文章以重庆市潼南县崇龛镇与巴南区石龙镇为例,探讨西南地区农村居民点空间布局优化的科学方法。首先,结合西南地区特有的自然人文条件,运用GIS空间分析技术与景观格局指数分析居民点分布特征;然后,构建包括限制性评价与适宜性评价两个阶段的西南地区居民点综合评价体系;基于对未来乡村发展趋势的判断,依据公平与效率原则,将现有居民点划分为发展型、保留型及迁并型等3类;在此基础上,运用加权Voronoi图确定重点发展型居民点的增长极引力范围,明确迁并型居民点与保留型居民点的发展方向,最终确定农村居民点布局的优化方案。经过优化,崇龛镇基于效率原则确定出222个重点发展型居民点,节约农村居民点用地0.813km2;石龙镇基于公平原则整理出416个重点发展型居民点,节约农村居民点用地0.301km2。研究能为2个示范镇农村居民点的规划优化提供科学依据,也为西南地区开展新型城镇化规划提供参考。     

The Effect of Leasing versus Buying on Entry Deterrence

Models of entry deterrence typically require that incumbents possess a cost advantage as a prerequisite for deterring entry. Potential entrants possess a cost advantage over incumbents, however, if input costs fall over time. This paper models the behavior of an incumbent and a potential entrant when the input cost falls over time and the firms have the option of buying or leasing the input. The model shows that if the future cost savings from new technology exceed the marginal transaction costs of leasing the current equipment, then leasing increases the incumbent's ability to deter entry.

多元资本网络:理论框架的构建

企业价值创造来源于财务资本与非财务因素的耦合,而该耦合机理的研究,则演变为对于多元化的资本网络的框架研究,因此多元资本网络的形成机理、演化规律和治理机制构成了本论文的研究主题。本研究认为资本网络是结构性地嵌入在企业网络和企业价值网络中,其演化是通过多元资本结构和资本转换来实现的,多元资本结构影响企业价值创造,资本转换实现企业价值创造。多元资本网络的治理则是传统科层治理和网络治理的有效融合,本论文还提出了多元资本网络治理中控制权相机配置的理论框架。
