城镇化与工业化互动发展的协调性与驱动力研究——来自四川省21个市州的经验证据

城镇化与工业化互动协调发展是城乡经济发展的一个主要问题。在构建新型城镇化和新型工业化评价指标体系的基础上,采用四川省21个市州2007—2012年相关数据,运用“协调度—协调发展度模型”和灰色系统模型 GM（1,N）,对城镇化与工业化互动发展的协调性进行评价,并揭示其内在驱动力,结果表明：四川省城镇化与工业化互动发展的协调度与协调发展度处于不断提高的过程中,21个市州工业化发展对城镇化与工业化互动协调发展均起着促进作用,但经济发展水平极高和极低市州的城镇化发展对城镇化与工业化互动协调发展具有制约作用。因此,应以工业化带动城镇化发展,制定差别化的城镇化与工业化互动发展政策,全面深化制度改革,形成城镇化与工业化互动协调发展的良性机制。     

金融自由化、资源配置偏向与城乡收入差距——基于省级面板数据的经验证据

文章运用主成分分析法,重测了我国金融自由化指数值,同时采用31个省级面板数据,实证分析了金融自由化、资源配置偏向对我国城乡收入差距的影响。结果表明,金融自由化弱化了金融资源配置偏向对城乡收入差距的抑制作用;财政、固定资产投入偏向,均拉大了城乡收入差距;而FDI则一定程度上缩小了城乡收入差距。此外,金融自由化、资源配置偏向对城乡收入差距的影响,具有区域差异性。     

The Role of Place Image Dimensions in Residents' Support for Tourism Development

Understanding residents' perceptions of tourism impacts and their level of support for its development is considered vital for the sustainable development of tourism. Despite the plethora of factors examined as determinants of residents' attitudes toward tourism, the role of residents' place image has been under‐examined. This study developed a model examining the relationships between residents' place image dimensions, perceived tourism impacts and support for development. Findings suggest that two (physical appearance, social environment) out of the four place image dimensions identified in this study exercise a significant effect on residents' attitudes toward tourism. The theoretical and practical implications to the formation of planning and development programs for tourism are discussed. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

在买方市场条件下创造企业卖点研究

买方市场是指在供求关系中买方处于主动地位,成为主导方面的市场。我国买方市场具有初级性和结构性的特点。文章认为,我国在买方市场条件下仍然存在局部的卖方市场,企业需要在个性、文化、服务、技术和感觉诸方面来寻求自身“卖点”;应寻找新的市场机会,积极实行差异化策略,主动进行创新,抢抓机遇并充分利用消费断层创造企业卖点。     

New Approaches to Business Process Redesign: A Case Study of Collaborative Group Technology and Service Mapping

Whether it is called reengineering, quality function deployment, quality circles, continuous improvement or total quality management, business process redesign (BPR) is occurring in many organizations. In the broadest sense, BPR includes nearly any kind of systematic effort by companies to realign their business processes so that they are more competitive. Successful business process redesign can lead to dramatic improvements in productivity and quality. But BPR typically requires vast amounts of time and money to implement, since extensive employee input is necessary during the redesign process. Group Decision Support Software (GDSS) provides a viable alternative to the traditional BPR approach. GDSS is defined as computer-based information systems used to support intelligent, collaborative work.This technology allows multiple users to meet and discuss topics simultaneously via a computer network, thus increasing employee commitment while decreasing time and cost.This paper describes a business process redesign project that was conducted for a division within a large government agency fall of 1993. The BPR was done using a type of Group Decision Support Software called Group Systems V. A services marketing tool called service mapping was also used to identify customer needs and interfaces. Data were collected throughout the project to measure employee attitudes about the redesign process and the GroupSystems technology. Time to complete tasks was also recorded. The results of the study showed that the business process redesign was accomplished more effectively in a shorter period of time than with traditional BPR methods previously used. Participants also indicated that the service mapping tool provided a perspective that is missing from many BPR approaches: an understanding of the service from the customer's perspective.

Relationship between flow experience and subjective vitality among older adults attending senior centres

ABSTRACT

This study examined relationships between leisure autonomy, leisure competence, leisure social support, and flow experience and subjective vitality among older adults. In total, 257 older adults attending senior centres from New Taipei City, Taiwan were recruited. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews, during which leisure autonomy, leisure competence, leisure social support, flow experience, and subjective vitality were measured. The data were analysed using a hierarchical regression method. Results revealed that leisure autonomy, leisure competence, and leisure social support were significantly and positively correlated with subjective vitality and that flow experience was more significantly and positively correlated with subjective vitality than the three leisure needs were. Practical implications of results in terms of enhancing subjective vitality among older adults are discussed. Considering that flow experience is a strong predictor of subjective vitality among older adults, helping older adults experience flow should considerably enhance their subjective vitality. Flow is experienced when a balance is reached between high levels of challenges and skills. Therefore, leisure with such balance increases the likelihood that older adults can experience flow.

The effects of new firm formation on regional development over time: The case of Great Britain

This paper re-examines the link between new firm formation and subsequent employment growth. It investigates whether it is possible to have the wrong type of entrepreneurship—defined as new firm formation which leads to zero or even negative subsequent employment growth. It uses a very similar approach to that of Fritsch and Mueller (Regional Studies, 38(8), 961–976, 2004), confirming their findings that the employment impact of new firm formation is in three discrete phases. Then, using data for Great Britain, the paper shows the employment impact of new firm formation is significantly positive in the high-enterprise counties of Great Britain. However, for the low-enterprise counties, it shows that new firm formation has a negative effect on employment. Of the 15 low-enterprise regions, eight are Scottish (of nine Scottish regions in our data base) and three are North East Counties (of four). Our findings imply that having the “wrong type of entrepreneurship” is indeed possible.

Horizontal Mergers and Successive Oligopoly

This paper considers a successive oligopoly setting in which a set of upstream firms sell output non-exclusively to a group of downstream firms using a linear tariff. If the concavity of retail demand is constant then the profitability of horizontal merger at either the upstream or the downstream stage is shown to depend on the number of firms in the stage experiencing the merger and not on the number of firms in the other stage. Furthermore, the profitability of merger at either stage is the same as the profitability of merger amongst a set of vertically integrated firms in a setting in which all firms are vertically integrated. Finally, mergers at either stage are shown to reduce the sum of producer and consumer surplus. Moreover the negative effects of merger on surplus are unambiguously increased by increases in concentration in the merging stage and ambiguously affected by increases in concentration in the non-merging stage.JEL classification: L10, L20, L40
