Land prices and unemployment

We integrate the housing market and the labor market in a dynamic general equilibrium model with credit and search frictions. We argue that the labor channel, combined with the standard credit channel, provides a strong transmission mechanism that can deliver a potential solution to the Shimer (2005) puzzle. The model is confronted with U.S. macroeconomic time series. The estimation results account for two prominent facts observed in the data. First, land prices and unemployment move in opposite directions over the business cycle. Second, a shock that moves land prices also generates the observed large volatility of unemployment.     

Labor Unemployment Concern and Corporate Discretionary Disclosure

We investigate how firms strategically vary their disclosure policies in response to labor unemployment concern. Using changes in state unemployment insurance laws as exogenous variations of labor unemployment concern, we show that firms provide more bad news forecasts when unemployment concern is low. This relation is stronger when firms are financially constrained, when CEOs and CFOs have higher equity incentives, and when workers are likely to be affected more by unemployment. Our findings are not driven by earnings management reversal or underlying performance changes, and are robust to a battery of identification tests. Finally, we find a similar effect of unemployment concern on disclosure using the tone of 10‐K and 10‐Q filings as an alternative proxy for corporate disclosure. Overall, our findings suggest that labor unemployment concern is an important consideration for corporate discretionary disclosure.     

Multifaceted effects of host country language proficiency in expatriate cross-cultural adjustments: a qualitative study in China

While expatriates often face language barriers in host countries, relatively little research has focused on the influence of host country language proficiency on cross-cultural adjustment. We drew on social identity theory and conducted an interview-based study with 70 expatriates and their host country national (HCN) colleagues to provide a contextual account of host country language proficiency's effects on work and non-work-related adjustment in China. Our findings suggest that expatriate host country language proficiency has multifaceted effects on expatriates' HCN interaction, social support, and network-related work and non-work adjustment.     

农民工工资市场决定失灵的原因及解决途径

我国农民工的工资市场决定存在失灵,主要是农民工劳动力供求的变动对其工资水平的影响微弱,农民工劳动力短缺与其工资水平偏低并存。这种失灵直接源于农民工劳动力的供需矛盾性、需求垄断性和信息非对称性所决定的农民工劳动力市场的发育缺陷,根源于农民工劳动力市场所面临的包括以户籍制度为主的制度壁垒、重城轻乡的制度安排和信息传导的制度缺失在内的制度困境。而培育农民工劳动力市场、完善相关制度是解决其工资市场决定失灵的现实出路,其中转变政府职能是关键。     

齿轮副侧隙的确定

目前齿轮副侧隙的计算仍使用材料平均热膨胀系数的方法,造成较大误差。本文根据计算所得齿厚偏差来确定侧隙的最大值及最小值。齿轮副侧隙的大小与齿轮齿厚减薄量有着密切的关系,齿厚上偏差,即齿厚的最小减薄量可以根据齿轮副所需要的最小侧隙通过计算确定,齿厚下偏差则按齿轮精度等级和加工齿轮时的径向进刀公差和几何偏差确定。齿轮精度等级和齿厚极限偏差确定后,齿轮副的最大侧隙就自然形成。     

基于满应变准则的大规模桁架结构的最小柔度设计

针对大规模桁架结构,推导出一种结构优化设计方法。其设计目标为整个结构的柔度最小,也即刚度最大;采用的力学准则为满应变设计准则;在整个桁架结构重量满足一定约束的前提下,通过优化各杆件截面积,达到整体柔度最小。仿真结果表明,该方法可以在有限迭代步数下实现桁架结构总体柔度最小。将两次迭代所有杆截面积之差总和作为停机准则,随着停机准则的减小,整个计算所用迭代次数逐渐增大,所需计算时间也逐渐增长。在实际应用中,应根据实际需求和成本限制综合确定停机准则。

详细研究了Sn与An的群图,修正了《群图的基本理论及置换群图的构造》一文中某些错误的结论,并用计算机作出了S4与A4的部分群图。     

基于库存调剂的易逝品供应链合作利益分配问题探讨

本文将解决多人合作博弈问题的Shapley值方法用于解决两级易逝品供应链合作利益分配问题。考虑由一个供应商和两个零售商所组成的两级供应链模型,零售商与供应商不合作时,零售商根据供应商的批发价确定订货量,合作时共同决定库存,零售商之间的合作为共同决定订货量且通过库存调剂(转运)共享库存,三方合作可获最大利益,采用Shapley值法可合理分配合作利益,从而使合作更稳定。     

某投放盒中1553B总线BC模式设计与实现

文章旨在设计出一种符合1553B通信协议BC模式的方案,以实现某型投放装置接收载机指令并转换为1553B总线指令最终实现投放逻辑。整个系统是以DSP最小系统加上1553B总线协议芯片BU-61580为硬件平台设,根据BU-61580在BC模式下的访问时序设计出DSP访问BU-61580芯片控制引脚的连接关系及DSP访问BU-61580所需的全部控制信号,文末对BU-61580寄存器工作在BC模式下的设置做了简要介绍。本设计方法已在某投放盒设计中验证实现,并取得良好效果。     

社会资本对创业风险影响的分类解析

创业风险是创业者不得不面对而且必须解决的一个关键问题。本文在总结当前关于创业风险分类的研究成果基础上,按照创业要素风险分类体系,分别研究了社会资本对机会风险、资源风险、主体风险、环境风险与行为风险的影响。通过对社会资本在各种创业风险中影响作用的分析,本文得到以下结论：社会资本的规范、信任与网络都能从各自角度弱化创业活动中的机会风险、环境风险与行为风险产生的不利影响;而创业活动中的资源风险与主体风险的调节,则主要通过社会资本中的网络来完成。
