出口贸易方式结构与产业结构实证分析——基于上海、香港的比较

基于2000年至2010年上海、香港主要的出口贸易方式,实证分析出口贸易方式对产业结构的影响,从实证结果中发现,香港的贸易方式结构对产业结构调整作用明显,上海则反之。其中,转口贸易促进了香港第三产业的发展;一般贸易则提高的第二产业的比重,但降低了第三产业的比重;加工贸易对两地产业结构的影响有限。

中国内地和中国香港的贸易自由化效应研究——基于全球贸易分析模型GTAP的分析

基于全球贸易分析模型GTAP模型和CEPA免税清单"原产地"标准,分析了中国内地和中国香港实施"港产品零关税"和"全面贸易自由化"产生的经济、贸易和产业效应,以及海峡两岸ECFA早期收获和全面实施的影响。研究发现:由于中国内地关税大幅度减免,"港产品零关税"使中国香港进出口增加幅度大于中国内地,中国内地服务业和符合原产地标准的中国香港制造业生产出口增加。如果两地进一步实现"全面贸易自由化",则进出口值、经济增长和福利水平将大幅度提高,并促进两地产业结构调整和升级,但中国内地进口增加幅度大于出口导致贸易余额减少。此外,ECFA早期收获使中国台湾贸易余额增加,而ECFA全面实施将使中国香港作为海峡两岸经贸中转港的地位受到影响。     

Airline catering service operation,schedule nervousness and collective efficacy on performance: Hong Kong evidence

Carriers the world over depend on airline catering service providers to manage the catering and logistics of these complex operations. The logistics of onboard catering service material between suppliers, warehouses and the caterers differ significantly from the classical material flow in other industries between the suppliers, manufacturers and customers. The airline catering business can tolerate minimal flexibility relating to scheduling issues. Continuous changes in the schedule can undermine the confidence in the system and result in disruptions in the production or delivery systems. This study aims to study how the various determinants are correlated with schedule instability of the airline catering operations. The findings show the significant correlation between internal operation and relationship with customer, which affect the work efficacy at the collective level.     

穗港澳商都旅游文化特色及发展探微

对一个区域的旅游发展来说,重点是要找出自己最鲜明、最独特的亮点.分析穗港澳旅游文化特色,就是为其旅游发展找准方向,为区域旅游合作构建和谐发展局面.港澳的商都旅游文化已经定型,而广州相形之下则缺乏特色.其原因既有客观的"晕轮效应"和"调色板效应",也有主观的精品意识缺乏等.广州旅游要想在穗港澳旅游竞争中赢得市场,首先要确立都市旅游商业文化的地位和形象,其次要打造自己的特色文化金名片.在攻略方针上主要得从文化软资源、软环境方面下工夫.     

粤港澳知识产权法律制度研究比较

当前中国特别是珠三角地区面临产业结构优化升级,可以预见粤港澳以往"前店后厂"的合作模式将会发生嬗变,这也就意味着粤港澳地区面临着一次总体产业结构升级。知识产权作为知识经济的重要部分,在社会经济生活中意义重大。在粤港澳未来合作发展中知识产权也将是一个有待深入发展和潜力巨大的合作领域。因此,探寻粤港澳地区知识产权制度的差异,在发展中消除障碍,在实践中建立有效沟通机制意义重大。     

An Examination of Sales Promotion Programs in Hong Kong: What the Retailers Offer and What the Consumers Prefer

This study gives an insight into the retailer's capability of managing sales promotion by examining the sales promotion programs offered by Hong Kong cosmetic and toiletry retailers and the consumers’ preferences. The results indicate that instant-reward programs are popular among retailers and preferred by consumers. The results also show that the preferences for sales promotion programs are dependent upon consumers’ demographic and sociocultural characteristics. Implications for advertisers designing and communicating sales promotions are offered.     

African Entrepreneurs and International Coordination in Petty Businesses: The Case of Low-End Mobile Phones Sourcing in Hong Kong

Abstract

This paper examines the contribution of African entrepreneurs to world trade through global coordination. Unlike the multinational giants which earn impressive profit through global sourcing, small African entrepreneurs survive by identifying opportunities in petty businesses and exploiting narrow profit margin. Through careful economic calculation, they buy low-end goods from one part of the globe and sell them in the other part. Their self-interest activities enhance global well-being. This paper begins with an Austrian perspective of international entrepreneurship and global coordination. The theory is illustrated by African entrepreneurs who source Shenzhen-made mobile phones in Hong Kong and sell them in Africa. By arbitraging price differentials, they earn pure entrepreneurial profit. A detailed case study of the global coordination of a Tanzanian entrepreneur will be presented. This paper concludes that, as a result of the effort of African entrepreneurs, low-end mobile phones manufactured in Shenzhen are shipped to Hong Kong and consumed by people in Tanzania, bringing benefits to all parties concerned. The case study fully illustrates the principle of the ‘invisible hand’ in the global market.     

两岸三地服务业国际竞争力比较分析

国际上常用的服务业国际竞争力主要评价指标包括MS(国际市场占有率)、TC(净出口指数)、RCA(显示性比较优势指数)和CA(显示性竞争优势指数)。文章根据联合国贸发会议的基础数据,分别计算、比较了两岸三地服务业的MS、TC、RCA和CA四类指数,并且分行业计算了两岸三地的RCA指数,进而分析了两岸三地服务业各自存在的问题。结论认为:从四类指数的计算结果看,香港在两岸三地中国际竞争力最强;内地服务业尤其是生产性服务业相对比较落后。文章最后探讨了两岸三地服务业的未来合作前景。     

Income, Money Ethic, Pay Satisfaction, Commitment, and Unethical Behavior: Is the Love of Money the Root of Evil for Hong Kong Employees?

This study examines a model involving income, the love of money, pay satisfaction, organizational commitment, job changes, and unethical behavior among 211 full-time employees in Hong Kong, China. Direct paths suggested that the love of money was related to unethical behavior, but income (money) was not. Indirect paths showed that income was negatively related to the love of money that, in turn, was negatively related to pay satisfaction that, in turn, was negatively associated with unethical behavior. Pay satisfaction was positively related to organizational commitment. Thus, the love of money is the root of evil, but money is not.     

中国内地与香港贸易关系的实证分析

长期以来,香港是中国重要的贸易顺差来源地和重要的转口贸易地,同时,香港对外贸易的发展也离不开内地的支持.两地贸易的相互依存度正在不断上升.香港进口与出口之间具有互动的因果关系.香港的进口带动出口的发展,香港出口的增加,促进了产品价值的实现,可以进口更多更好的产品或投入品,形成良性循环.中国内地进出口的发展处于不平衡状态,特别在改革开放初期,重视出口、忽视进口的现象比较严重,进出口互动发展格局尚未形成.因此,不断调整中国内地进出口产品数量、优化贸易结构,对于中国内地对外贸易的发展具有重要意义.     

论内地与香港食品安全合作法律机制的构建——一种跨行政区域软法治理的思路

内地与香港食品安全合作的有序推进需要相应法律机制的保障。这一法律机制应立足于两地食品安全合作法律实践的现状,从组织机构、表现形式和内容三方面予以构建。内地与香港食品安全合作法律机制的组织机构建设应依托于两地合作的整体性机构安排,革新和完善现有的磋商交流机制;两地食品安全合作法律机制的表现形式主要是行政协议。行政协议在法律性质上属于软法;在内容上,这些行政协议至少应涵盖四类规则:食品安全信息交流制度、食品安全标准协调制度、食品安全能力建设制度和食品安全突发事件协处制度。     

Uncertainties,Imitative Behaviours and Foreign R&D Location: Explaining the Over-concentration of Foreign R&D in Beijing and Shanghai within China

This study examines the location of foreign research and development (R&D) establishments in China and reveals that such facilities are overly concentrated in Shanghai and Beijing, the two first- tier cities. We argue that the spatial concentration of R&D in Shanghai and Beijing is more intense than what can be expected based on the spatial concentration of foreign investment, science and technology resources and general economic activities. The spatial concentration is also greater than what is observed in more developed countries. This degree of concentration cannot be convincingly explained by the conventional, rational choice model that relies mostly upon factors such as market size, labour costs and infrastructure, among others. Our analysis suggests that site location decisions are also the product of imitative behaviours among decision makers faced with uncertainties and multiple risks, particularly in a transitional economy such as China's. We further discuss the implications for second-tier cities in competition for foreign R&D investment, suggesting that these cities should aggressively market their cities to foreign investors in order to reduce the perceived risks undermining their ability to attract R&D. We also speculate that as foreign investors become more knowledgeable about the rest of China, more companies will begin to establish R&D facilities in such second-tier cities.
