动漫产业 花开正烂漫

以前,提到动漫,人们就不假思索地把它跟小孩子联系在一起,觉得那是少年儿童的专利。如今,应该没有什么人会那样想了。米奇老鼠、维尼小熊、HelloKitty等深入人心的卡通形象,已经深深打动了各年龄层次的人们。动漫产业给日本、欧美等国所带来的丰厚利润也让人们看到这个新兴产业的巨大潜力。千亿“蛋糕”等待瓜分动漫自1877年诞生以来,已经经过100多年的发展。据《2005-2006年中国动漫产业分析及投资咨询报告》所统计提供的数字:2004年,全球数字动漫产业的产值已达2228亿美元,与动漫产业相关的周边衍生产品产值则在5000亿美元以上,英国数字…     

经济转型下的中国城镇女性就业、收入及其对家庭收入不平等的影响

本文利用1988、1995和2002年的中国城镇家庭收入调查数据,旨在比较改革的渐进期(1988—1995年)和深化期(1995—2002年),城镇已婚女性的就业和就业收入对家庭收入差距的影响。我们发现在两个时期,已婚女性的就业明显下降,其就业收入都起到了缩小家庭收入差距的作用。在改革渐进期,已婚女性就业收入缩小家庭收入差距的作用不断加强;而在改革深化期这一作用是下降的。和改革渐进期相比,已婚女性就业收入的变化在改革深化期成为了缩小家庭收入差距的重要原因。     

论构建和谐社会的制度建设

和谐社会作为建设中追求的一种现实社会目标,并不意味着能够完全消除社会矛盾和社会问题,但它有一种能够不断解决矛盾和化解冲突的机制,以及一系列在矛盾中仍能保持和谐与快速发展的制度。参与者利益上的博弈要求建立相关制度来保证和谐状态的达成。因此,构建和谐社会要求坚持科学发展观的指导,从多方面加强所需制度的建设与完善。     

An Empirical Study of Insurance Performance Measure

This author applies Insurance Performance Measure (IPM) to a set of Indian insurance companies over the period 2005–2016. This is the first article published that applies the IPM model on real industry data and studies its implications. The IPM was introduced in a Winter 2002 JACF article by Joseph Calandro, Jr., then at General Star management, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway and by Scott Lane, then an accounting professor at the University of New Haven. Those authors explained why financial reporting for insurance companies was so challenging and presented the IPM metric as a better way to assess industry and company performance. Evaluating P&C companies is difficult because the unique format of insurance company financials does not lend itself to traditional financial accounting analysis and because the industry's preeminent performance measure, the Underwriting Ratio, captures underwriting and claims activity but says nothing about investment and risk distribution (reinsurance). By contrast, the IPM represents the interrelation of underwriting, investment and reinsurance along with a hurdle rate and is quite consistent with Warren Buffett's expressed desire for a balanced overview of industry performance. IPM uses financial data without modification thereby simplifying and fastening computation. Operationally, it could help in negotiations for reinsurance renewals and identify “Maximum Profitable capacity”—the threshold limit for overall profitability.     

执政条件下苏共政党改革的历史考察及其当代启示

政党改革是政党发展的必然趋势，苏共在70余年的执政过程中立足自身所处环境和角色的变化，曾进行过三次重要的政党改革。但是由于思想上的僵化教条，其改革的动力始终不足，方法论上的形而上学则导致改革的取向偏离，加之制度设计上的缺陷导致改革执行层面的扭曲。苏共政党改革的历史启示在于，必须高度重视政党改革，为此要不断提高政党改革的科学化水平，并以制度建设来保障改革的有序进行。     

Role of Shopping Values and Web Atmospherics in E-Satisfaction and Repurchase Intention

Expected to touch US$55 billion in 2016, the e-commerce market in India presents an unprecedented growth opportunity for retailers. Existing studies have identified factors influencing shoppers’ online behaviour pertaining to the developed economies. Hence, it becomes pertinent to validate these antecedents for the economies like India. The article addresses this gap by examining the role of shopping values and web atmospherics, on e-satisfaction of Indian shoppers. Using multiple regression analysis, it also examines the influence of e-satisfaction on repurchase intention. The findings suggest that effectiveness of information content has the most significant impact on e-satisfaction. Web entertainment, utilitarian values and web informativeness are the other influencing factors. Contrary to the earlier studies, this study didn’t find any influence of hedonic shopping values on shoppers’ satisfaction. Also, e-satisfaction was found to have a positive influence on repurchase intention of e-shoppers. The article suggests select strategies that can be adopted by e-retailers.     

Role of search for domain knowledge and architectural knowledge in alliance partner selection

Research Summary: The literature on technological alliances emphasizes that search for knowledge drives alliance formation. However, in conceptualizing technological knowledge, prior work on alliances has not made a distinction between domain knowledge—knowledge that firms possess in distinct technological domains—and architectural knowledge—knowledge that firms possess about how to combine elements from different technological domains. We argue that firms seek partners that are similar in domain knowledge to deepen their knowledge, and partners that are dissimilar in architectural knowledge to broaden their knowledge. Our results indicate that the likelihood of alliance formation increases when two firms are similar in domain knowledge and dissimilar in architectural knowledge. Further, our results show that these effects are positively moderated by the degree of decomposability of a firm's knowledge base. Managerial Summary: In dynamic environments, companies need to continually deepen and broaden their technological knowledge, and they often look for alliance partners who can provide them that knowledge. For knowledge deepening, companies are more likely to form alliances with those companies that have expertise in similar technological fields. For knowledge broadening, they are more likely to form alliances with those companies that have expertise in the same technological fields, but have different recipes for combining knowledge from those fields. Furthermore, a company with a modular knowledge base is more likely to seek a partner that has expertise in similar technological fields or whose recipes for combining knowledge from different technological fields are different from the recipes it has.     

The Effect of Import Competition on Firm Productivity and Innovation: Does the Distance to Technology Frontier Matter?

How does foreign competition affect growth and innovation in China? Using our unique measures of proximity of Chinese firms and industries to the world technology frontier, we find that despite vast sectoral heterogeneity, Chinese manufacturing industries have undergone rapid technological upgrading over the period of 2000–06. The distance to the world production frontier of firms and industries plays an important role in shaping the nexus between the competition pressure from foreign imports and domestic firms' growth and innovation behaviour. Our results support the theoretical predictions of Aghion et al. (2005, The Quarterly Journal of Economics, pp. 701–728) that import competition stimulates the domestic firms' productivity growth and R&D expenditure if firms and their industries are close to the world frontier, but discourages such incentives for laggard firms and industries. The two forces highlighted by the model operate for imports under the ordinary‐trade regime, for collective and private firms, and for imports originated from high‐income countries. Our findings are robust after controlling the influence of foreign investment, the reverse causality of regressors and the short‐term business cycle fluctuations.     

矿井产量预测模型

一、前言 矿井的设计生产能力是一定的,但实际产量除受设计能力制约外,还与开采效果有关。若开采效果系数为k,矿井的设计能力为P,产量为Q,则Q=kP,其中P为常数,k为区间数。k的取值受因素I_1,I_2,…,I_m的影响,设I表示影响因素集,则I={I_1,I_2,…,I_m}。通常取m=5,I_1为地质构造,I_2为煤层稳定性,I_3为开采技术条件,I_4为管理水平,I_5为职工素质。预测矿井产量,首先要评估上述5种影响因素的等级水平。为此,建立下面未确知测度评估模型。
