基于模块化的中国大型民用飞机国际合作博弈分析

目前大型民用飞机已经形成全球化分工协作的基本格局,很多国家在某些部件的研制生产方面已经达到了很高的水平,而中国大型民用飞机的生产技术还远远落后于一些发达国家。从博弈分析来看,中国大型民用飞机产业的发展需要在坚持自主创新的基础上进行转包生产,同时与其他国家进行合作,充分利用其他国家的先进技术,实现双赢。     

Gender differences in business performance: evidence from the Characteristics of Business Owners survey

This paper compares the technical efficiency of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with that of large firms and studies the factors influencing technical efficiency for Taiwan’s electronics industry. Unlike conventional studies, we use two alternative approaches to control for the influence of size effect. One is the two-stage switching regression to correct for endogenous size effect on technical efficiency and, the other is, a metafrontier production function for firms in different groups. The main results are as follows. First, the average technical efficiency for large firms is higher than that of SMEs, without considering the size effect, and lower when considering the endogenous choice on firm size. This study cannot, therefore, conclude that there is a negative size–technical efficiency relationship. It however, sheds light on the importance of size effect on the size–technical efficiency nexus. Second, the estimates on the determinants of technical efficiency show that being a subcontractor has a statistically significant positive influence on SMEs’ technical efficiency, but the effect decreases with firm size.
