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.     

跨省区人口迁移与城乡收入差距的区域收敛

文章在构建两地区两部门理论模型的基础上,分析了跨省区人口城镇化迁移对城乡收入差距影响的理论机制,进而选择人口规模与降雨量分别作为工具变量,构建两类互相检验的工具变量模型实证研究,并从工具变量的外生性、必要性、弱工具变量风险以及估计结果的稳健性四个方面对实证结果做了合理性讨论.研究结论认为当城乡收入差距位于"倒U"理论拐点的右侧时,跨省区人口城镇化迁移促进城乡收入差距的区域收敛,否则相反.环境的异质性影响了跨省区人口城镇化迁移与城乡收入差距区域收敛的关系效应,主要表现在:中部地区收敛效应大于东部地区,西部地区发散,且随着城镇化水平的上升,跨省区人口城镇化迁移对城乡收入差距的区域收敛效应减弱.     

利用大数据分析技术的智能化网络故障诊断系统

随着网络技术的快速发展以及各种新网络业务的出现，网络的规模日益扩大和复杂。同时，各种网络服务对于网络可靠性的要求也逐渐提高，这就对网络的维护提出了更高的要求。在这种情况下，传统的网络维护模式逐渐不能适应现代网络发展的需求。针对现代大型网络的故障诊断问题，利用大数据分析技术，设计并完成了一套整体的智能化故障诊断系统。在此系统中，针对不同的故障类型，利用能够获取到的数据类型，针对性地设计了相关的故障诊断模块和算法。系统整体基于开源的数据处理平台构建，具备良好的可扩展性。通过实际案例数据的验证，结果表明此系统具备良好的处理实际网络故障的能力，将大数据分析技术应用于网络故障诊断领域也具备较强的可行性。     

Hours underemployment and employee turnover: the moderating role of human resource practices

Using Canadian nationally representative, multisource longitudinal data, this paper examines relationships between hours underemployment, employee turnover and human resource practices. The results of hierarchical linear models indicate that underemployed employees are more likely to leave an organisation that relies heavily on part-time workers, whereas they are more likely to stay when their employers hire regularly from within the company. These findings extend the literature on hours underemployment from individual-level direct effects to organisational-level moderating factors, and accordingly, they provide empirical evidence that human resource professionals can use to address the detrimental effects of underemployment.     

基于可持续生计分析框架的农户宅基地流转意愿研究

[目的]宅基地流转是城乡建设用地优化配置和农民财产性收入增加的重要途径,对解决我国当前土地资源利用的供需矛盾,推动高效用地具有重要意义。文章从家庭生计资产量化入手,探讨不同资产配置类型农户宅基地流转的影响因素,旨在进一步推进宅基地流转进程。[方法]通过农户生计量化法和Logistic回归模型进行实证分析。[结果](1)农户整体宅基地的流转意愿较高,达到69.84%,但资产缺乏型农户的流转意愿非常低,仅有37.93%;(2)非农迁移意愿、宅基地功能和家庭生计资产总值对宅基地流转具有显著影响,年龄、专业技能、住房的满意度、宅基地面积、非农收入比例、非农就业状况6个因素对不同类型农户的影响出现差异。[结论]该文提出建立贫困农户的技能培训机制,制定多样化的宅基地流转制度,从而保证不同类型农户在宅基地流转后,整体福利水平不下降。     

基于多元数据分析的城市通风廊道规划策略研究——以北京副中心为例

城市通风廊道是提升城市通透性,改善城市微循环,减缓热岛效应的有效途径之一。通过建设通风廊道让城市"呼吸"起来,可以有效减轻热岛效应,增强空气流动性,提高人体舒适度。基于通州区建设大背景及热点问题,分析了国内外典型案例,利用通州国家级气象站多年观测记录及周边地区气象资料、通州城区1:2000建筑基础地理信息数据和德国高分辨率卫星影像Rapid(5m分辨率)、通州区2015年土地利用现状图及规划图等,分析了通州及周边地区的风环境,研究了通州城区天空开阔度和地表粗糙程度,得出了通风潜力的空间分布。同时,利用卫星遥感资料,分析了热环境的空间分布。提出了通州城区通风廊道规划原则和建议。     

去库存及建筑总量控制政策对三四线城市能源消耗的影响效应研究

近十年来房地产开发迅猛,在满足人们居住需求的同时也伴随着大量泡沫的涌现。中央提出的供给侧改革、去库存和能效提升给建筑部门指明了发展方向,有效地实施供给侧改革是建筑部门一项重要工作。拟通过开展去库存及建筑总量控制对三四线城市能源消耗的影响研究,为建筑部门的供给侧改革提供建议和参考。站在建筑部门宏观视角,通过文献调查,分析总结了建筑终端能耗影响因素及其影响效应,梳理了中国建筑总量、库存量及建筑领域能源消耗量总体情况,论述了三四线城市去库存、进行建筑总量控制的重要性;在此基础上,根据分析结果、三四线城市特点及数据可获得性,选定自变量和因变量及量化指标,运用岭回归方法,以6个城市的数据为例进行三四线城市建筑总量控制、去库存政策对城市能耗影响效果的定量分析;最后基于彼此间关系及研究过程中发现的问题对建筑部门的供给侧改革工作提出建议。     

国外城市管理行政执法比较研究

近年来我国城管执法暴力冲突事件频发,现行城市管理执法体制机制的弊病也随之暴露。我国城管执法自产生起在机构名称、职能职责、体制机制等方面一直处于变动之中,其所显现出的问题和矛盾也比较多。虽然国外没有专门的城管执法部门,但其管理内容、管理方式、管理依据等与我国城管执法机构颇为相似,尤其在小商贩管理、分类执法、社会参与、执法与司法衔接等很多做法和经验值得我国学习借鉴。重点介绍了美国、德国、日本三个有代表性的发达国家在城市管理方面的执法主体、执法方式和执法依据,并对我国城管执法现状进行了借鉴分析。     

Strategic Sequential Bidding for Government Land Auction Sales – Evidence from Singapore

This paper studies the extent to which equilibrium land auction prices are pushed up sequentially due to strategic bidding behaviors in government land auction sales. Using a unique dataset that covers the universe of tendering prices submitted by all developers for all residential land auction sales in Singapore, we find that a tenderer’s bids are significantly higher where there was a previous land parcel sold within two years and located within four kilometers. The identified price margin decreases with time and geographic distance. Tracking sequential bids submitted by the same developer over time, we find that the incumbent winner of a previous auction is more likely to participate in subsequent nearby land sales as compared to the second-highest bidder of the same auction. However, it does not necessarily win the subsequent sites. We argue that the incumbent deliberately bids up the subsequent land prices to gain pricing advantages to their own parcels.
