我国城市化与城乡收入差距非线性动态关系实证研究

探讨城市化对城乡收入差距的影响效应，对于我国经济高质量发展具有重要意义。本文基于1978—2015年的相关数据，采用平滑转换回归（STR）模型研究了我国城市化对城乡收入差距的非线性影响效应。研究发现，城市化与城乡收入差距两个变量之间的动态关系适合使用非线性的LSTR2模型来刻画，并且我国城市化缩小了城乡收入差距。考虑了经济增长和产业结构升级因素后，城市化还是缩小了城乡收入差距，经济增长因素也能够缩小城乡收入差距，但是产业结构升级因素却拉大了城乡收入差距。     

声誉在企业社会责任与绩效之间的作用——以商誉作为声誉度量方式的讨论

作为企业社会责任影响绩效的一个重要途径，声誉对于企业社会责任的研究具有重要意义。目前，在实证研究中声誉没有一致认可的度量方法。本文以商誉作为声誉的度量方式，采用上市公司2012—2017年的平衡面板数据，对企业社会责任与绩效的关系进行了实证研究，并进一步讨论了声誉在企业社会责任与绩效之间的作用。研究显示:当以商誉作为企业声誉的度量指标时，企业社会责任正向影响企业的声誉；在企业社会责任影响绩效的过程中，声誉没有起到调节作用，但起到了显著的中介效应。因此，企业主动承担社会责任，不仅可以造福于社会，还能提高自身绩效。     

金融产业集聚对制造业转型升级的影响研究——基于省际面板数据的中介效应检验

本文运用中国2013—2016年的省际面板数据，引入社会融资规模、R&D经费投入两个中介变量，构建中介效应模型来考察金融产业集聚对制造业转型升级的直接效应和间接效应。研究结果表明，金融产业集聚不仅对制造业转型升级起到直接促进效应，而且分别通过以下两种路径方式对制造业转型升级产生一定的正向促进效应，即“金融产业集聚→社会融资规模增量→制造业转型升级”和“金融产业集聚→社会融资规模增量→R&D投入→制造业转型升级”。因此，进一步汇聚金融产业资源、扩大资本规模、支持科技创新，将有效促进中国制造业转型升级。     

Hotel school alumni’s intentions to use communication channels – a cross-generational comparison study

ABSTRACT

Alumni communication is vital in sustaining the relationship between alumni and their alma maters. This research investigated four cohorts of alumni, and their intentions to use a range of traditional and digital communication channels, including social media. An online questionnaire was sent to 8060 alumni and resulted in 595 usable responses, yielding a 7% response rate. The research results showed that alumni have the highest intentions to use the alumni e-newsletter and the alumni Website and the lowest intentions to use social media, e.g., Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. Among alumni cohorts, significant statistical differences in their intentions to use these communication channels were identified. Given our findings, alumni communication staff are encouraged to leverage different communication channels targeting alumni in different age groups.     

跨国企业的转让定价策略--基于价值链的案例研究

在全球价值链分工日益成熟的背景下,跨国企业的关联交易安排日益复杂,如何制定转让定价规则以保证整体税负和风险水平同时较低成为跨国企业面临的新问题。通过W集团在关联交易中转让定价策略的案例,运用价值链分析和功能风险分析,从企业价值创造和税收产生的源头着眼,沿着价值链的推进分析了VIE模式的跨国企业在转让定价中的税负与风险问题。基于价值链分析构建出跨国企业的转让定价分析模型,可为跨国企业制定转让定价策略提供新思路,也有助于丰富价值链分析的应用领域。

Modelling with flexibility through the business cycle: using a panel smooth transition model to test for the lipstick effect

ABSTRACT

Consumer spending typically declines during periods of economic distress, but observers have noted that lipstick purchases appear to increase during recessions, which is often referred to as the lipstick effect. However, the existence of such effect has remained empirically unconfirmed. Using weekly retail scanner data on lipstick sales from 2006 to 2016 in the United States, we applied a Panel Smooth Transition Regression (PSTR) demand model to test the relationship between economic distress and lipstick sales. This flexible demand specification allows regression coefficients to vary as a function of an exogenous macroeconomic variables and fluctuate asymmetrically, non-linearly, and time-varyingly across an unlimited number of regimes. Empirical results show the income elasticity of demand for lipstick decreased rapidly from 0.31 to 0.05 during the 2007–2009 recession, then slowly rebounded to 0.31 by the second quarter of 2014, thus first empirically confirming the existence of the lipstick effect.

将“合伙人制”融入“合作制”的一项尝试——基于MGL合作社的案例解读与探讨

当前,合作社异化已成为阻碍合作社进一步发展的痛点,其中"合作制"下社员剩余索取权和控制权的丧失是矛盾核心,因而探求其改进方式对合作社长远发展、实现乡村振兴有重要意义。本文基于效率与公平衡量维度,通过对MGL合作社这一典型案例进行剖析发现,有效的合作社在治理结构和利益分配上具备"合伙人制"特征,并且基本契合不完全契约理论有关能够有效解决契约双方信息不对称以及剩余索取权、控制权被少数社员占有的论述。对此,应充分重视合伙人制在合作社发展中的内在有效性,弱化其是否具有规范的外在形式。
