Feeling hungry? let's order through mobile! examining the fast food mobile commerce in China

This study proposes a unique framework that aids to enrich online shopping experience (psychological and monetary gains) and accelerates fast food mobile commerce (m-commerce). The extended technology acceptance model (TAM) is applied while the stimulus–organism–response (S–O–R) paradigm served as the predominant framework combined with the acquisition-transaction utility theory. This study investigates the mobile website quality, website brand equity (stimulus) influence on (PEOU) and (PU) (organism) to predict Chinese consumer intention to use fast food mobile commerce (response). A total of 936 respondents were participated while data were collected using a convenience sampling technique in China. Results reveal that all dimensions of mobile WQ (i.e., service quality, system quality, and information quality) and Website BE (i.e., brand image, perceived quality, brand association, and brand loyalty) (stimulus) significantly substantially influence PEOU and PU (organism) toward the acceptance of online fast food shopping (response). Digital Coupon Proneness (an accelerator) substantially moderates the relationship between PEOU, PU, and intention to use fast food m-commerce. Based on the assumptions of acquisition-transaction utility theory, category-specific (fast food) digital coupon proneness increase m-commerce for online fast food buying– a novel contribution of the study. Furthermore, research provides unique managerial insights for the industry to utilize the maximum potential of m-commerce in the fast-food industry.     

Data breaches and corporate liquidity management

This paper investigates the effects of data breach disclosure laws and the subsequent disclosure of data breaches on the cash policies of corporations in the United States. Exploiting a series of natural experiments regarding staggered state-level data breach disclosure laws, we find that the passage of mandatory disclosure laws leads to an increase in cash holdings. Our finding suggests that mandatory data breach disclosure laws increase the risks related to data breaches. Further, we find firms that suffer data breaches adjust their financial policies by holding more cash as well as decreasing external finance and investment.     

Option implied volatilities and the cost of issuing equity

The structure of a firm-commitment Seasoned Equity Offering (SEO) resembles a put-option underwritten by an investment bank syndicate (Smith, 1977). Employing implied volatilities from issuers’ stock options as a direct forward-looking measure, this paper examines the impact of expected price risk around SEO issue dates on the direct cost of issuing equity. Using a comprehensive sample of 1208 SEOs between 1996 and 2009, we find issuers with higher option implied volatilities raise less external equity capital and pay higher investment bank fees in the stock market, ceteris paribus. The effect of implied volatility on the investment bank fees is stronger for larger issuers with lower pre-SEO abnormal realized stock volatilities, and for SEOs with higher expected price pressures around issue dates. These relationships are robust to adjustments for correlations among control variables, sample selection bias and also simultaneous determination of offer size and SEO fees.     

对小微企业融资新范式的检验--以江苏省县域地区608家金融机构为例

本文采用江苏省13个市52个县608家金融机构2012年末截面数据,从贷款发放量、贷款方式、贷款技术、不良贷款率等方面对不同规模金融机构小微企业放贷现状进行描述分析,以检验小微企业融资新范式在我国县域地区的适用性。研究结果表明：（1）贷款方式以抵押／担保为主,资产保证、保理和融资租赁等交易型贷款技术几乎没有被应用于实践;（2）大银行小微企业贷款发放规模远不及小银行,金融机构规模仍然是影响小微企业信贷可获性的关键因素。因此,适用于某些发达国家的小微企业融资新范式并不适用于我国县域地区。最后本文为提高小微企业信贷可获性、完善农村金融市场结构,提出了有针对性的政策建议。     

马克思劳资关系理论视域下的我国私营企业劳资关系问题研究

私营企业的劳资关系在我国的社会经济关系中占有重要地位。马克思的劳资关系理论对于研究我国私营企业劳资关系问题有着重要的指导意义。在我国的私营企业中,生产资料归私营企业主所有,我国的私营企业还是以雇佣劳动为基础的生产活动。因此,我国现阶段私营企业劳资关系实质上是资本对劳动的占有和资本对劳动的强制。由于我国的私营企业是在社会主义初级阶段产生的,因此私营企业劳资关系又呈现出一些新特征。私营企业中资本占有劳动具有双重属性,私营企业中资本对劳动强制不会发展为社会的强制,私营企业主与工人之间是具有中国特色的人与人之间的关系,这为我们研究私营企业劳资关系的和谐性与对立性提供了理论基础。     

交易成本、禀赋效应与国有股权转让定价——兼论国有企业混合所有制改革的新思路

国有企业混合所有制改革是积极发展混合所有制经济的关键,完善的定价机制有助于推进国有企业混合所有制改革。国有股转让过程中存在大量的交易成本,扭曲了定价体系。基于科斯定理,可以发现,明晰产权是优化定价体系有效途径。但是,禀赋效应的存在,使得科斯定理无法完全解决国有股转让定价问题。对此,需要采取市场和非市场的政策组合,以此来完善国有股转让定价机制,推进国有企业混合所有制改革。     

工业领域国有资本与非国有资本的效率比较：2003—2011年

工业领域中,国有工业资本与非国有工业资本的效率差距是否会随着改革的进程得到改善关系到工业改革下一步的路径取向。本文基于工业领域2003—2011年的数据发现：（1）国有工业资本与非国有工业资本的净资本回报率差距并未随经济改革的推进而缩小。（2）越是倾向于国有企业的宽松财政政策和货币政策,反而导致国有工业资本的效率落后于非国有资本。（3）在公用事业领域,私有工业的资本效率逐渐超过了外资工业;在战略性资源领域,外资工业资本的效率最高;在一般竞争领域,私有工业资本的效率最高。     

新型军人养老保险制度的构建及其转轨成本测算

我国现行军人养老保险是军队统筹,且保障范围狭窄、制度衔接不畅、实际养老待遇较低、财政负担过重、基金管理效率低下;为实现养老保险制度全民统筹和切实保障军人的养老权益,应构建社会统筹与个人账户相结合、辅以年金账户的新型军人养老保险制度。军人养老保险制度的转轨成本来源于当前军人养老保险制度下隐性债务的显性化,采用系统动力学模型对军人养老保险制度的转轨成本进行模拟测算,结果表明：截至2090年底转轨成本将全部显性化,“老人”和“中人”的转轨成本都呈先增后减的趋势,2035—2065年的转轨成本最高;借助社会统筹账户资金积累的缓冲和人口年龄与人口结构的变化,能够分散制度转轨带来的财务支付风险,改革不会对政府财政带来巨大压力。因此,应坚持养老保险社会统筹的改革方向,积极推进军人养老保险制度改革。     

基于消费者视角的我国保险业诚信分析

保险业在近三十年的急速发展中积淀并遗留了诸多因粗放发展模式所带来的诚信不良问题,成为行业发展的桎梏,究其原因,既有产品层面的信息不对称,又有企业管理体制的不健全,以及全社会保险意识的缺失等。在此分析基础上提出加大违规成本、创新管理体制的措施建议,以期联合企业、行业、政府的力量,共同构建完善的保险业诚信体系。
