Economic–social interaction in China1

This paper analyzes economic–social interaction in China in connection with the country's change of economic system. I define an economic system in terms of a multi‐dimensional vector of broad institutional characteristics, and I emphasize that important features of the social development are closely related to specific changes in these various dimensions. I classify China's options for future social improvements into three broad categories: (i) policies that improve the stability and distribution of factor income; (ii) government‐created wedges between factor income and disposable income; and (iii) improvements in the quantity, quality and distribution of human services, such as education and healthcare.     

The impact of China's millennium labour restructuring program on firm performance and employee earnings1

Around the turn of the century, China experienced perhaps the largest labour restructuring program in the world. This paper uses a new dataset of Chinese industrial enterprises to examine what leads to downsizing, and tries to understand the effects of labour downsizing on firms’ technical efficiency, financial performance and employee wages. We find that downsizing is more prevalent in state‐owned enterprises (SOEs), and is more likely when enterprises are older, larger and have higher excess capacity. For both SOEs and private firms, downsizing is more likely when the prices of their products drop, but private firms respond more dramatically. Moreover, downsizing has serious short‐term costs in terms of total factor productivity (TFP). For mild downsizing, private firms suffer more deterioration in productivity. The distribution of surplus after downsizing is more favourable to labour in SOEs. For severe downsizing, both SOEs and private firms exhibit lower TFP growth with similar magnitudes. Our findings imply that private firms emphasize profit goals, while SOEs place a greater weight on labour protection.     

我国消费者对消费者的电子商务市场研究——基于客户、成本、便利、沟通的4C营销理论

本文认为,随着网络技术的发展和网络用户的增加,我国C2C(消费者对消费者的电子商务)市场未来的竞争将更加体现在4C(客户、成本、便利、沟通)之争、物流之争和诚信之争上,但归根结底是用户之争。作为一种商业行为,C2C运营商还需不断完善技术,创新服务,在为客户创造更多价值的同时增强自身的竞争力。只有以客户为中心,致力于客户关系的有效管理,为用户提供更多的增值服务,才能真正赢得市场。

2/1斜纹织物边组织的选择方法的探讨

在分析了2/1斜纹织物产生卷边的原因的基础上,依据同面组织防止卷边理论,在确保踏盘开口织机织造可行的前提下,分别选择平纹、2/2方平、2/1变化方平作为2/1斜纹织物的边组织,并针对这4种情况,简述了各种边组织的织造装置,进行了小样试织。通过对试织小样观察与分析比较,给出了2/1斜纹织物边组织的合理的选择方案。     

基于不同视角对中国当前流动性过剩问题的分析

近年来,我国的货币供给量持续增长,已大大超过GDP的增长速度,商业银行体系内的存贷差日益扩大,这些因素导致了我国经济体系内"流动性过剩"的问题凸显.而今年3月,"流动性过剩"问题首次进入政府工作报告,成为今后国家宏观调控的一个重要目标.本文从两个不同却又紧密联系的角度,即经济体系中货币化比率的高企和商业银行存贷差的持续扩大出发,对目前我国市场体系内流动性状况进行分析和探讨.     

Inflation and inequality

Cross-country evidence on inflation and income inequality suggests that they are positively related. This article explores the hypothesis that this correlation is the outcome of a distributional conflict underlying the determination of government policies. A political economy model is presented in which equilibrium inflation is positively related to the degree of inequality in income due to the relative vulnerability to inflation of low income households.     

The efficiency of certain speculative markets and gambler behavior

This paper tests the efficiency of the football betting market and develops a model of the determinants of the closing spread. The empirical results suggest that the football betting market is not perfectly efficient. The evidence also suggests that, contrary to previous studies, gamblers that do bet the long shots are acting as rational individuals attempting to maximize their return for a given level of risk. Finally, at least six variables were found to be statistically significant factors in determining closing spreads in the football betting market.
