Uncovering asset stripping during China's privatization

This paper empirically studies the occurrence and extent of asset stripping via undervaluing public assets during the mass privatization of state-owned and collectively owned enterprises in China. Using three waves of a national survey of private firms, we provide evidence that state-owned and collectively owned assets were substantially underpriced, indicating the presence of corruption during privatization. Further analysis shows that the extent of underpricing is more severe in regions with less market competition or weaker property rights protection, and more pronounced for intangible assets such as intellectual property rights and land use rights. When comparing firm efficiency between privatized firms and de novo private firms, we find that the former group continues to enjoy considerable preferential treatments, yet significantly underperforms the latter, possibly due to continued government control and intervention. Finally, we provide evidence that insider privatization is an important source of corruption during the privatization process.     

从空间的权益解析当下开放式住区的实践途径

"开放式住区"意味着住区街道、公共空间等面向城市开放,与封闭式住区相比,其内部公共产品的空间属性产生了变化,这也引起居民在物权方面的担忧。从空间权益的角度解读开放式住区的实践途径具有现实意义。"大院"和"小区"是最典型的中国居住区模式,分析认为,它们是政府对城市基层单位的空间发展权让渡,形成了空间权益的内化现象。开放式住区则意味着地方政府对基层空间主导权的回收。在实践途径上,比较了财产权模式与中国模式的区别,提出加强政府对城市空间发展权的主张;并分别针对"新建住区"和"改造住区"讨论了实践中的主要问题和可行方法。     

Big data driven cycle time parallel prediction for production planning in wafer manufacturing

Cycle time forecasting (CTF) is one of the most crucial issues for production planning to keep high delivery reliability in semiconductor wafer fabrication systems (SWFS). This paper proposes a novel data-intensive cycle time (CT) prediction system with parallel computing to rapidly forecast the CT of wafer lots with large datasets. First, a density peak based radial basis function network (DP-RBFN) is designed to forecast the CT with the diverse and agglomerative CT data. Second, the network learning method based on a clustering technique is proposed to determine the density peak. Third, a parallel computing approach for network training is proposed in order to speed up the training process with large scaled CT data. Finally, an experiment with respect to SWFS is presented, which demonstrates that the proposed CTF system can not only speed up the training process of the model but also outperform the radial basis function network, the back-propagation-network and multivariate regression methodology based CTF methods in terms of the mean absolute deviation and standard deviation.     

The impact of crude oil inventory announcements on prices: Evidence from derivatives markets

This study examines the impact of weekly crude oil storage announcements on oil futures and options prices. We document evidence of a strong announcement day effect on both markets, and find prices to move in anticipation of the inventory surprise. Futures returns significantly decrease with positive surprises and increase with negative surprises. There is no evidence of an asymmetric impact on futures prices. Near‐the‐money options exhibit the greatest price sensitivity, and the magnitude of the price response of both futures and options declines with maturity. The results remain robust even after controlling for various macroeconomic and other storage‐related news variables.     

开辟人与文化生态环境互动新视域下的项羽研究

人类赖以生存发展的文化生态环境指家庭、 社会、 政治、 时代特征,以及人的社会关系.项羽的成长、 发展、 成功与最后失败,都是在与这个文化生态环境矛盾运动中进行的.开辟人与文化生态环境互动视域下对项羽成长发展研究,在于将项羽放到当时一个大的文化生态环境背景下进行考察.这种新视域下的研究新方法、 新途径,可以准确把握项羽的思维方式、 行为方式,继而准确地把握项羽的性格特征、 心理特征,客观地研究、 总结项羽的成功与失败,探寻历史真实,正确评价其人其事.这不失于是研究项羽等历史人物的一种新路途、 新方法、 新角度.

基于马斯洛需求理论构建宜居城市指标体系及对北京的宜居评价

将马斯洛的需求层次理论与现代大城市生活结合起来,提高特大城市宜居水平应从5个层次需求的满足出发。为满足人的生理需求,要提高城市环境的健康性;满足人的安全需求,提高城市的安全性;满足人的社交需求,提高城市空间的开放性;满足人的尊重需求,提高城市社会的包容性;满足人的自我实现需求,提高城市的活力。构建了包括城市环境的健康性、城市的安全性、空间的开放性、社会的包容性和文化活力5个二级指标、20个三级指标的宜居城市指标体系。并以北京为例,将北京与世界城市纽约、伦敦、东京的宜居水平进行比较,发现北京仅相当于这三个城市的67%,北京在城市空间的开放性、社会的包容性、环境的健康性三个方面与世界城市存在很大差距。
