‘Double marginalization’ problems: evidence from the Korean fixed-to-mobile service market

In this paper, examination of the possibility of a ‘double marginalization’ problem existing in the Korean telecommunication industry is conducted and suggestions are made for the provision of a new scheme to eliminate this possibility by changing the pricing system for fixed-to-mobile calls. Based on five key economic characteristics in the Korean mobile market, a simple model for double marginalization in the telecommunication market is introduced. Evidence was found to suggest that a double marginalization problem is likely to exist within Korea's telecommunication industry as it is presently structured, and that this problem is further likely to have an adverse effect on the industry by inflating the price of fixed-to-mobile calls. Two alternatives are proposed to effectively remedy this double marginalization issue. It is also shown that prices of fixed-to-mobile calls could be lowered by changing the caller pays principle into a receiver pays principle.

外商直接投资与我国产业技术边缘化的实证研究

本文选取37个工业行业为对象,通过对1998-2003年的行业面板数据分析,对外商直接投资与我国产业技术边缘化的关系进行实证研究,并从行业吸收能力、技术密集度和技术差距三个维度探讨对FDI技术溢出影响的效果与程度。结果显示,行业的技术边缘化程度与FDI流入存在正相关关系;行业的吸收能力越弱、行业的技术密集度越高,FDI加剧技术边缘化的程度越大;技术差距的影响没有得到证实。进而指出,真正的技术追赶只能通过我国产业获得参与技术生成和技术改进的过程来实现,增强我国产业的技术吸收能力及自主创新力是打破高技术行业技术依赖的根本所在。     

窘境与出路:中国农民与中国现代化关系之思考

我国社会主义工业化、现代化的过程,是我国农民不断陷入窘境,同时又不断摆脱窘境的过程。农民的窘境在特定历史时期推进了工业化、现代化,而现代化的实现又以消除农民窘境为必然前提。在我国当前现代化建设新的历史时期,适时进行政策选择,逐步使农民摆脱窘境,对推动更高层次的工业化、现代化,实现社会和谐,有着极其重要的意义。     

Whitewashing Plantations

Summary

This article begins with a brief explanation of personal experiences on plantation tours. It follows with an empirical examination of tourist brochures from over 100 plantations and a textual analysis of their data. A frequency count of keywords is created, serving to highlight that “slavery,” “slaves” and “slave cabins” occur less often than such expressions as “owners,” “landscapes” and “furnishings.” Reasons for this imbalance are sought. More specifically, the investigation asks why plantation owners and their operations under-emphasize slavery and what this situation means for the contemporary tourist. In so doing, the inquiry attempts to answer the question as to whether or not such mar-ginalization of slavery is a legitimate concern now and in the future.     

贵州省反边缘化方略研究

贵州省经济总量水平、城镇化发展水平及城市间交互作用水平都显示出其处于被边缘化的状态。造成贵州省被边缘化既有历史的原因,也有基础设施落后、产业结构不合理以及长期游离于区域合作之外的现实因素。为了改变这种边缘化状态,应构建一个面向多个区域、不同范围、不同层次的多元区域合作网;加强基础设施建设,加快资源产业的产业化进程,构建特色经济体系,避免区域内的恶性竞争以及消除区域间的封锁与垄断。     

员工边缘化问题研究

21世纪,员工边缘化问题越来越多地受到社会关注.在分析了员工边缘化问题的渊源、概念和影响,界定了角色边缘化等概念的基础上,通过剖析一则中国历史案例,归纳了员工边缘化问题的成因.最后,尝试划分了员工主动、被动和综合边缘化的三种分类,并依据人力资源管理流程,归纳出员工边缘化的形成与应对模型,据此提出应对员工边缘化的十项措施.
