Larger,counter-intuitive and lasting – The PSM role in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic,exploring opportunities for theoretical and actionable advances

PSM has played an important role in the initial mitigation of risks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We explore the nature and scope of this role and develop a roadmap for PSM contributions towards greater supply chain resilience. We find that the role of PSM is (1) multidimensional; responding to supply risks but also to demand and logistics risks, (2) counter to game theory; collaboration increased instead of decrease, (3) multi-stage; beyond the initial response the hardest change efforts are still ahead. The pandemic is accelerating the journey towards future-proof PSM but not necessarily revolutionizing the future of PSM.     

外出从业经历、农地流转行为与农村劳动力转移——基于CHIP2013数据的实证分析

本文基于2013年中国家庭收入调查数据,采用倾向得分匹配(PSM)法和工具变量解决样本选择偏误和内生性问题,实证分析外出从业经历、农地流转行为对农村劳动力转移的影响;同时,运用中介效应模型研究农地流转行为在外出从业经历与农村劳动力转移之间的作用机制.研究结果表明,外出从业经历和农地流转行为对农村劳动力转移有显著的促进作...     

农村居民多维收入流动、税费负担及政策效应——基于面板数据PSM-DID方法的研究

收入流动性是从动态视角衡量居民收入分配公平与否的重要指标,其变动程度受到税收等因素的影响。文章基于2001年至2014年季度和年度面板数据,依据多维收入流动指标,测算出了地区之间农村居民绝对和相对收入流动程度,并利用双重差分倾向得分匹配法（PSM-DID）和工具变量估计法研究了农村税费改革及其他经济社会因素对农村居民收入流动性的影响。研究发现：（1）农村税费改革的政策效应非常显著,实施农业税费减免政策的地区,其农民的绝对收入流动性显著高于未改革地区;（2）税费负担对绝对收入流动性的影响呈现出\"倒U型\"特征,即当税费负担率为0.167%时,绝对收入流动性达到最大值,若进一步增加税费负担,收入流动性则呈现下降趋势;（3）税费支出变动对相对收入流动性的影响也通过了5%的显著性检验;（4）农村劳动力文化结构、工资收入比重等家庭特征因素对收入流动性的影响具有较大的地区异质性。有鉴于此,在进一步完善税费征收项目监管的同时,依据家庭及地区特征实施差异化的支农惠农政策,切实减轻农民负担,增强农村居民收入流动,实现地区间收入分配均衡。     

Does Public Service Motivation Mediate the Relationship between Goal Clarity and both Organizational Commitment and Extra-Role Behaviours?

Research has not considered how goal clarity can affect work attitudes through public service motivation (PSM). As a result, a model was developed to examine the relationship between goal clarity, PSM, and two employee work attitudes and behaviours (i.e., organizational commitment and extra-role behaviours). Several important findings emerged from the model. First, goal clarity was positively associated with PSM. Second, goal clarity was positively associated with both organizational commitment and extra-role behaviours. Finally, PSM was found to partially mediate the relationship between goal clarity and both organizational commitment and extra-role behaviours. The implications these findings have for theory and practice are discussed.     

基于PSM的自发合作供给小型水利设施对农户福利影响研究

[目的]衡量自发合作供给小型水利设施对农户福利效应的影响是激发农户自发合作供给水利设施,实现农业可持续发展的重要议题。[方法]利用甘肃省平凉、武威和张掖3个区域微观农户调查数据,选取农户种植业收入、小麦产量、玉米产量、灌溉用水支出、有效灌溉面积作为衡量农户福利的指标,在克服传统方法样本选择内生性问题的同时,运用倾向得分匹配方法(PSM)的\"反事实\"原理与方法,实证分析自发合作供给对农户福利的影响。[结果]自发合作供给小型水利设施能够显著提高农户福利,最明显的作用是增加了农户的收入、小麦产量、玉米产量、有效灌溉面积,降低用水成本;初步估计平均综合效益提升了30.62%。[结论]政府应该加大对农户自发合作供给宣传力度。     

Mobile money,family assistance and welfare in Cameroon

This paper aims to investigate the effect of mobile money services on the welfare in Cameroon. It specifically verifies whether the welfare of people benefiting from family assistance is improved via the mobile money services offered by the two main operators in the country, namely: Orange and Mtn. The data used come from the « FinScope Consommateur Cameroun » Survey carried out in 2017 by the National Institute of Statistics (INS). Based on the propensity scores estimations, this study shows a positive and significant effect of mobile money on welfare. However, among the operators, Orange has a better impact compared to Mtn which does not present a significant effect. These results call on the authorities in charge of the development and implementation of financial inclusion policies to recognize the interest of digital financial services at the heart of financial inclusion strategies for the welfare of the poor.     

股权激励与企业研发投入——基于PSM的实证分析

文章通过选取沪深两市上市公司相关数据,采用倾向得分匹配（PSM）方法探讨了在不同激励类型和公司实际控制人条件下股权激励对企业研发投入的影响。实证结果显示,在有效控制样本选择偏误的情况下,总体而言股权激励对企业研发投入具有促进作用。进一步对股权激励进行分类可以发现,相比较于股票激励,企业选取期权激励对研发活动的促进效果更为显著。而且在不同实际控制人下,企业研发投入对股权激励的敏感性也存在着显著的差异。对于实际控制人为非国有性质的样本公司而言,股权激励能有效缓解企业所面临的代理问题,使得企业更关注长期业绩,调动企业技术研发的积极性。     

价格支持政策对我国不同粮食作物播种面积变化的影响差异

［目的］文章评估了价格支持政策对不同粮食作物播种面积变化的平均效应与动态效应,并测度多种价格支持政策的交叉政策弹性。［方法］基于1998—2016年实施粮食价格支持政策省份面板数据,设立对照组,利用倾向得分匹配—双重差分方法（PSM DID）评估价格支持政策平均效应与动态效应,并构建粮食作物供给反应（Nerlove）模型测度价格支持政策的交叉政策弹性。［结果］（1）价格支持政策对水稻、小麦、玉米播种面积增加具有不同程度的推动作用,按大小依次为玉米>水稻>小麦,对大豆播种面积变化影响不显著; （2）价格支持政策持续时间越长,对水稻、玉米播种面积增加的推动作用越大,对小麦播种面积增加的推动作用较为稳定; （3）小麦、玉米播种面积变化主要来自自身价格支持政策,水稻播种面积变化除了受到自身价格支持政策影响外,还受到其他作物政策影响,大豆播种面积变化对玉米临储政策反应敏感,对自身价格支持政策反应不敏感。［结论］在制定粮食政策时既要区分政策及其持续性对不同粮食播种面积变化的影响差异,又要注意在同一地区实施多种粮食政策时,可能对不同作物产生交叉影响。
