一种新的顾客满意度指数测评模型

顾客满意度指数是近年来许多国家和地区积极开展研究和采用的一种新的经济指标。本文在已有研究的基础上,结合我国消费者行为的特点,构建了一种新的顾客满意度指数测评模型。该模型在期望不一致模式的基础上,同时考虑了公平模式和需要不一致模式,引入感知公平和感知价格变量,并为这些结构变量设计了相应的观测变量和路径关系,建立了由顾客满意、企业形象、感知价格到顾客忠诚三条路径关系,改变了传统模型中从顾客满意到顾客忠诚路径过于单一的情况。     

论LLSV法律来源论的缺陷性

拉普特等人用数据来表明,法律来源于普通法系国家比法律来源于大陆法系国家特别是法国大陆法系国家能更好地保护投资者,而德国大陆法系国家和斯堪的纳维亚国家则介于这二者之间。公司所有权的集中程度在他们的研究中被认为是对投资者保护差的一种适应性反映。在本文,我们用中国和其他国家的证据来说明政治经济因素比法律来源论能更好地解释在中国的转型经济中对小股东保护差的原因。我们认为中国上市公司所有权非常集中的原因是政府决策的直接结果,也认为政府控制绝大部分上市公司在某种程度上减弱了对小股东的保护。     

Brands matter: An empirical demonstration of the creation of shareholder value through branding

This research responds to the attendant need for empirical evidence pertaining to how marketing affects firm performance. Using the Fama-French method, common in finance, and a leading marketplace measure of a brand’s financial equity value, the authors provide empirical evidence for the branding-shareholder value creation link. The results extend previous research by showing that strong brands not only deliver greater returns to stockholders than does a relevant benchmark but do so with less risk This finding holds even when market share and firm size are considered.

效率与公平关系的物权法思考

在物权领域,浅层面的物权公平与物权效率并不矛盾.冲突存在于物权效率与高层面的社会公平之间,即物权效率自然发展导致起点不公平、机会不均等、结果不均衡.并且在这一交叉层面的"物权垄断"势能所产生的"马太效应"不可能熨平.通过物权社会化,让私人性物权效率提升为社会效率,则社会效率与社会公平能和谐一致.这种提升属政府管制时的限制,是在初次分配中重新界定权利,不是要素所有的分配,而且权利分配的财富调整功能优于再分配.

我国银行业的市场结构与竞争行为

本文运用产业组织理论对我国银行业的结构、行为与市场绩效进行分析 ,认为目前我国银行业的市场结构具有较为明显的寡头垄断特征 ,国有产权占绝对垄断地位。国有银行的垄断来自传统惯性、行业进入管制与较高的退出壁垒。从行业集中度指标判断 ,我国银行业现存的产业化进程迟滞、行业规模不经济、国有商业银行盈利能力下降等因素制约着整个银行业市场绩效的提高。一旦政策性进入壁垒放开 ,高效的进入者将对原行业成员构成强有力的竞争威胁。同时 ,法律规制不力、信用低下、信息不对称、激励约束机制不健全等制度框架 ,导致银行业市场竞争不足、市场行为异化。要解决上述诸多问题需要各方的共同努力。
