关于金融市场化减少消费流动性约束的实证分析

本文根据扩展的生命周期-永久收入假说以及Euler方程建立模型,对中国大陆31个省市自治区1979-2004年的整体情况和东、中、西部的区域情况进行GLS面板数据分析,结果表明,金融市场化通过各种渠道降低了消费者面临的流动性约束,释放了消费需求。从国际比较上看,金融市场化还能进一步释放消费需求。从地区比较上看,金融市场化减少消费流动性约束的作用在经济相对发达的东部和中部地区更为显著。     

速生丰产林经营经济效益敏感性分析

在建设项目经营效益评价体系中,对项目进行敏感性分析是评价项目经济效益的一个重要指标。根据林分的解析木材料和相应的林业技术经济指标,采用净现值法测算林木资产经营收益值,利用敏感性原理分析了不同因子对森林资源经营决策的反应灵敏度,识别风险大小,提出经营对策。分析结果表明:木材价格对杉木林经营经济效益的敏感度最强,其次为经营成本和林业税费,而营林成本、折现率和林地地租的敏感度不高。     

英语全球化背景下跨文化交际能力培养中的误区及其应对

自从20世纪80年代初我国外语界学者引进跨文化交际学以来,跨文化交际能力的培养很快就被确认为外语教学的重要目标。大多数英语教师在其日常教学中也很重视文化因素的导入,从而大大增强了学习者对文化差异的敏感性,为保证跨文化交际的有效进行打下了必要的基础。但是,不能否认,我国的跨文化交际教学并不能与目前所处的英语全球化背景相适应,在认识和实践中都存在一些误区。要真正培养适应英语全球化环境的跨文化交际人才,需要其研究者与英语教育工作者携手努力,在理论和实践层面能不断有所突破。故对此提出一些思考和建议。     

国内跨文化交际能力研究述评

通过对1994年到2009年国内主要外语期刊发表的有关跨文化交际能力研究文章的检索统计,发现:1.跨文化交际能力的研究对象侧重于大学生和混合学生群。2.研究方法以思辨性研究为主。3.跨文化交际能力的研究以针对英语的研究为主。4.研究内容主要集中在跨文化交际能力的内涵和跨文化交际能力的培养两个方面。国内跨文化交际能力研究存在的主要问题是研究对象不均衡、实证性研究匮乏、研究语种单一以及研究的广度、深度不够等问题,并展望了今后跨文化交际能力研究的方向。     

Intercultural Competency Development in Conjunction With a Short Term Study Away Experience： Changes in Undergraduate Students

The purpose of this research was to examine whether undergraduate business students who participated in a short term study abroad course and intercultural competence building coursework demonstrated a significant increase in intercultural competence over those who only enrolled in the study abroad course. The 20 participants attended a small liberal arts College in Midwestern United States. The Intercultural Development Inventory （IDI） was administered to the participating students before and after their study away experience. The IDI （v.3） is based on the theoretical framework of the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity （DMIS） introduced by Milton Bennett. The DMIS is based on the assumption that intercultural competence can be strengthen through the development of intercultural knowledge and experience with people from other cultures. The IDI has been used in numerous scholarly studies and has demonstrated valid and reliable results. It is a self-administered 50-item series of statements in which participants are asked to rate the level of their agreement with statements that address their relationship to and evaluation of cultural difference. In the model, people progress in a linear developmental fashion through six stages： defense, denial, polarization, minimization, acceptance, and adaptation. This study was designed to determine if students who studied away and completed intercultural coursework （prior intercultural knowledge and an intercultural experience） would increase their level of intercultural competency more than those students who just studied away （intercultural experience only） as measured by the change in their IDI scores. The results of this small sample show that intercultural coursework in conjunction with a short term study away experience can have a positive impact on individual intercultural development.     

Relationships among consumer vanity,gender, brand sensitivity,brand consciousness and private self‐consciousness

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among consumer vanity, gender, brand sensitivity, brand consciousness and private self‐consciousness within a context of social comparison theory. The four dimensions of consumer vanity are concern for and positive view of physical appearance and concern for and positive view of achievement. Participants were 400 college students (284 women; 116 men). Participants above the median in three of the four dimensions of vanity (except vanity achievement view) were more sensitive to and more conscious of brand names. Participants above (vs. below) the median in vanity achievement view scored higher on private self‐consciousness. Women scored higher on brand sensitivity, brand consciousness and private self‐consciousness than men. There was a significant correlation between brand sensitivity and brand consciousness. Results support the notion that consumers’ decisions, especially regarding brand names, may be guided by vanity‐related concerns and views.     

角速度传感器误差校正研究

某角速度传感器的输入与输出成近似线性关系,测量输出的电压值即可得到目标运动的角速度。为了提高测量的精度,通过对角速度传感器零位和灵敏度的误差进行校正,可得到更为精确的目标运动角速度。实验表明,该校正方法能有效提高角速度传感器的测量精度,有一定的实用性。

Analysis of Employee Performance during Cross-cultural Service Encounters at Luxury Hotels in Hawaii,London and Florida

Globalization has motivated managers and scholars in the tourism industry to focus more attention on the problems and characteristics of the cross-cultural service encounter. During these interactions, differing cultural norms and values often create misunderstanding and conflict, which can result in an unhappy customer, a frustrated service provider and lost business. Therefore, the focus of this study was to analyze the effect of intercultural sensitivity on tourism employee performance in cross-cultural service encounters in three similar, but distinct service-dependent markets: the Hawaiian Islands, Greater London (UK) and the state of Florida. The results indicate that tourism employees with high intercultural sensitivity generally scored significantly (p < 0.05) higher than employees with low intercultural sensitivity in terms of service attentiveness, revenue contribution, interpersonal skills, job satisfaction and social satisfaction as they relate to cross-cultural encounters. There was no significant difference in results for motivation to work, tenure (years at present organization) and primary rewards (compensation, recognition, etc.). Implications of the findings are discussed.
