Relationships among healthy lifestyle beliefs and body mass index in urban China

Consumption is a major driving force in China's economy. The consumer society is particularly emerging in the more urbanized and affluent regions in China. Given the rise of consumerism on the one hand, and the rise of overweight and obesity on the other, this study explored whether the proliferating consumer culture is a threat to the traditional health culture in China. The lifestyle‐oriented approach used in this study does not confirm a straightforward relationship between an upward trend in Chinese with (economic) assets to join the consumer society and a downward trend in health interest among urban Chinese. The result that the rise of the consumer society is not directly accompanied by a devaluation of health issues does not imply that lifestyle research is of no use. On the contrary, this paper successfully identified four dimensions of health‐related lifestyle for urban China, namely Food‐health Belief, Perceived Knowledge, Health Careless and Group Conformity. This result is informative with respect to the complexity of sociocultural factors influencing the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity.     

资本市场对经济发展钿经济转型的影响研究

市场的本质是竞争,阻碍竞争的最大因素是垄断、门槛和不公平的限制。资本市场的产生为消除这种阻力,推动公平竞争提供了可能。研究表明：在经济发达国家,资本市场更能促进经济的发展和促进经济转型。资本市场在促进公平和加剧竞争的同时,会对既得利益集团形成冲击,促进经济发展,也会形成实力更强大的利益集团,进而遏制资本市场进一步发展。而金融开放则成为摆脱这个资本市场利益集团的突破点,只有当竞争跨越了国与国的边界,国内的既得利益者只有选择进行改革,增强企业自身的创新能力和生产效率投入到竞争的环境中,从而更好地推动资本市场发展。

企业R&D投入影响因素——基于企业生命周期视角的实证检验

以中国A股主板制造业上市公司为样本,实证检验生命周期不同阶段企业规模、债务水平、国有控股、股权集中度、管理层持股、董事长与总经理两职设置状况与R&D投入的关系,研究结果证实：大企业比小企业更有利于R&D投入;负债对R&D投入具有制约作用;股权集中有利于R&D投入。国有控股、管理层持股、董事长与总经理两职设置状况与R&D投入的关系受企业生命周期的调节,在企业成长和成熟阶段,国有控股不利于R&D投入,而在企业衰退阶段,国有控股有利于R&D投入;在企业成熟阶段,管理层股权激励不利于R&D投入,而在衰退阶段,管理层股权激励对R&D投入有促进作用;在企业成长阶段,“两职”合一可能有利于R&D投入,在成熟和衰退阶段,“两职”分离更有利于R&D投入。

清代河南集镇的空间分布——基于距县里程方面的分析

本文通过对清代方志中相关记载的统计分析,主要研究了河南乡村集镇的空间分布特征.作者认为清代豫省集镇按距县里程的分布整体上呈抛物线状态,豫东集镇的分布特征与全省一致性较强,豫南、豫北次之,豫西最弱;清末随着集镇数量和密度的提高,抛物线分布的特征更加明显.另外,集镇数量在各个方位上的分布基本均衡,表现为以县城为圆心的同心圆形.     

Optimal retirement with unemployment risks

This paper investigates the optimal retirement of an individual in the presence of involuntary unemployment risks and borrowing constraints in a complete market with frictions. We use an intensity model and loading factors to illustrate the involuntary unemployment risks and frictions in unemployment insurance markets. Using reasonably calibrated parameters, we observe that high involuntary unemployment intensity and loading factors could be important explanations for the empirical findings emphasized in recent studies. We also find that an individual with high leisure demand after retirement reduces consumption during retirement and increases stockholdings as retirement time approaches.
