The Recognition and Timing of Deferred Tax Liabilities

Abstract:   This paper examines the characteristics of firms that account for deferred tax liabilities related to government investment grants under an extended adoption timing period. Not only the recognition but also the timing decision is associated with changes in future performance and changes in the debt structure. Recognisers outperform non‐recognisers in the future, while early recognition is related to post recognition performance but only for those firms that currently perform well. Changes in the balance sheet structure are also related to both decisions. Firms with recent increases in the debt level tend to postpone recognition, while currently well‐performing firms that increase their future debt level are less likely to recognise deferred taxes.     

Time, attention, authenticity and consumer benefits of the Web

This article addresses three potential consumer behavior tendencies: perceived time scarcity, competition for consumers' attention, and quest for authenticity. It also reviews prior research results on consumer benefits of the Web, which include convenience, time savings, ease of use, cost savings, and selection of items. The most prevalent consumer concerns are safety, waiting time, and loss of human interaction. This paper concludes that both time and attention are closely related to measurable attributes of interactive environments, while the ideals of authenticity may influence behavior less directly.     

人力资本与大学生就业——基于2010年对北京18所高校毕业生的调查

综合素质作为人力资本的核心体现,总体上不能提高就业概率,就业意愿和就业行为有助于展示人力资本价值,可提高就业率。与2008年相比,2010年综合素质和就业行为对大学生就业的作用减弱,就业意愿的作用增强,在一定程度上支持了读书无用论的观点,这会打击人力资本投资的热情,导致弃考、弃学现象,并最终影响国民素质的提高和经济的可持续发展。因此,要高度重视大学生就业问题。首先,要完善大学生就业机制,促进高素质人才顺利就业。打破体制性分割,建立全国统一的劳动力市场体系,提高社会保障的统筹层次,并加强就业服务与指导,减少交易成本,促进双方匹配。其次,要加强市场监管,规范信息发布、面试、录用等环节,确保透明、公开、公平,让拥有真才实学的优秀大学生脱颖而出。再次,要从创业教育、创业指导、创业资金等方面扶持更多的大学生创业,开辟一条增量型就业之路。

政府补助与公司投资行为——基于中国上市公司的数据

基于公司投资视角,以2007—2012年我国资本市场上A股上市公司为样本,研究政府补助对公司投资行为的影响,结果显示：政府补助越多,公司投资支出水平越高;政府补助对非国有公司的投资激励作用比国有公司更有效;公司产权性质差异会影响政府补助的投资激励效应;市场化程度越低、经济增长越缓慢的地区,政府补助对公司投资支出的影响越敏感;上市公司的非效率投资问题比较突出,政府补助加剧了上市公司的过度投资行为。因此,政府应根据微观企业主体的差异性来制定和实施相应的补助政策,以实现预期效果。     

市场分割与土地财政行为研究———来自中国省际的经验证据简

文章以2003—2009年我国30个省份的面板数据为样本,在揭示地方政府土地出让行为合理性的基础上,讨论土地财政依赖对经济增长可持续性的影响。实证结论表明,地方政府分割土地出让市场（以不同的出让方式出让土地）可以实现地方财政的跨期收入平衡,是财政支出压力下地方政府的理性行为选择。低价协议出让被征农地可以产生长期稳定的增值税收入流,高价招拍挂出让被征农地可以产生短期高额的营业税收入流。与此同时,在非农建设用地供给缺乏弹性以及政绩考核压力的双重约束下,依靠土地财政的经济增长模式难以持续。财税制度、政绩考核制度的改革将有利于转变地方政府土地财政依赖增长模式的根本性转变。

To Justify or Not to Justify: The Role of Anticipated Regret on Consumers’ Decisions to Upgrade Technological Innovations

Prior research suggests that adoption decisions are primarily based on product features and experiential opportunities, like trial and observation. Our research follows inquiries that identify anticipated regret (AR) as an emotion integral to consumer decision making. Prior research and current retailing practice assume that AR can be alleviated by compelling product attribute-based rationales for immediate purchase. These rationales often take the form of direct attribute comparisons between the current best and the future technologies. Counter-intuitively, we find that giving consumers attribute-based justifications for immediate purchase produces a uniform level of AR and purchase delay regardless of the perceived rate of innovation (PRI). However, under conditions of low PRI and no justification, AR decreases significantly. A clear implication of our findings is that firms marketing current technology should not rush to provide consumers with justifications for immediate upgrade since such communications will remind consumers of what they might miss if they adopt now, resulting in increased AR and purchase delays. Instead, we suggest that retailers focus promotional efforts on highlighting the hedonic benefits consumers experience by adopting today.     

施工总承包特级企业市场交易资质匹配研究

施工总承包特级企业是我国建筑业企业的龙头,其市场行为是否与其自身的资质和能力相匹配,影响建筑市场秩序和建筑行业的健康发展.文章在界定建筑业企业市场交易资质匹配概念的基础上,选取"中标次数"、"中标率"、"中标总金额"、"平均单位标段强度"、"中标次数修正指标"、"中标次数百分比修正指标",以及"中标金额百分比修正指标"和"平均单位标段强度修正指标",建立了相应的施工总承包特级企业市场交易资质匹配度测算模型,并利用2009年南京市建设工程交易数据进行了实证分析.测算结果与企业实际市场表现基本一致,表明模型建立科学,模型测算分值(QMI)能够反映企业在某一特定市场交易中的资质匹配状况.
