Urban residential land rent function: An alternative Muth-Mills model

The urban residential land rent function has been studied extensively in the field of urban economics, and the land rent function of Muth and Mills is considered to be one of the typical functional forms which is used in empirical studies. However, the model of Muth and Mills simply assumed the demand function for housing services to be a power function of income, which gives rise to a question. The main purpose of this paper is to derive an alternative form of the urban residential land rent function which is consistent with the utility maximization behavior of consumers and to discuss the estimation procedure of the derived land rent function.     

The landlord's dilemma: Asking rent strategies in a heterogeneous housing market

This paper investigates the asking rent behavior of a landlord with a vacancy who faces a known, downward sloping rental probability function. The shape of this function is shown to be strongly dependent on the form of the underlying acceptance rent distribution and on the rate at which prospective tenants visit the unit. A particular family of asking rent strategies is examined. It is shown that all of these strategies exhibit a declining sequence of asking rents, and that the landlord in choosing among them must balance his desire for rental income against his aversion to waiting.     

Hachemeister's Bayesian regression model revisited

Hachemeister's (1975) regression model is discussed from a number of viewpoints including credibility theory, Gauss-Markov theory and the Kalman filter. The last formulation facilitates recursive premium formulae including forecast errors. Recursive estimation of structural parameters is also briefly mentioned and an illustration involving a data set is presented. The paper basically serves to unify a number of recently developed ideas rather than present new results.     

An invariance property of Farebrother's procedure for estimation with aggregated data

A procedure proposed by Farebrother (1979) for estimating the parameters of a standard Gauss-Markov model from aggregated data is shown to be invariant with respect to the choice of a generalized inverse of the matrix designated to approximate the unknown dispersion matrix of a transformed model, thus correcting Farebrother's statement that this desirable property cannot be attributed to his procedure.     

An extension of the damage model

The damage model was introduced byRao [1963] and is based on the assumption that an original observation is subjected to a destructive process. Rao, examined in detail the case where the distribution of the original observation and the destructive process were Poisson and Binomial respectively with fixed parameters.In this paper we extend the damage model to the case where either the parameter of the Poisson or the parameter of the Binomial is a random variable with a given distribution function (d.f.).     

社会倾销对我国对外贸易的影响及策略

经济全球化在促进生产力增长的同时,产生了负面的影响。尤其是发达国家以反"社会倾销"为理由,提出将贸易与劳工标准挂钩,实施贸易制裁。这必将对中国的对外贸易发起挑战。我们应从中国的实情出发,找出我国劳工标准现状与国际标准的差距。在国际国内层面采取加强与国际组织的互动;加强职业安全管理及逆向采购等措施。

本文主要讨论了“嘀嘀”软件的盈利策略.首先,构建环状城市模型,求出产品差异条件下成本最小化时出租车市场上移动打车软件的最优数量.其次,基于寡头市场静态模式视角,建立“出租车与移动打车软件”双寡头市场模型.最后,得出“嘀嘀”在产品差异化-成本最小化基础上应该实施价格-跟随策略.     

从“鲁斤燕削”看现代步行商业街景观的地域特色

现代步行商业街是城市商业活动发展下形成的特殊街道形式,其作为城市开放空间的一个重要组成部分,就好比是一座城市自然风光和历史文化的综合载体。这其中由于自然环境特征、文化习俗特征和历史背景特征不同,每一条步行商业街也都大相径庭。《周礼·考工记序》中提及:郑之刀,宋之斤,鲁之削,吴粤之剑,迁乎其地而弗能为良,地气然也……想必就是这个道理吧。在指出步行商业街景观设计中存在的地域性问题的同时加以分析,明确地域特征在设计中的重要性,并重塑其中。     

Arrow's theorem with restricted coalition algebras

Arrow's Theorem is shown to be valid for measurable spaces of economic agents even with only a Boolean algebra of measurable coalitions. Purely competitive social welfare functions which ignore negligible coalitions may be handled by passing to a Boolean quotient algebra with the ideal of negligible coalitions. Invisible dictators are ‘agents’ in the Stone space of the quotient algebra, in which context social welfare functions induce continuous preference profiles.     

新形势下的土地征用模式探讨

随着我国城市化进程的加速,越来越多的农村集体土地通过土地征用的方式转为建设用地,但现实中往往因被征地农民得不到满意的补偿和安置,导致征地受阻并引发社会矛盾,本文提出了＂政府主导、企业参与＂的新型土地开发（征地）模式,既有效保障被征地农民的合法权益,又不影响土地开发进度,从而满足城市建设需要。
