GROWTH OF INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES AND TRADE OPENNESS

Previous studies have generally found evidence that countries with open trade systems have grown more rapidly than those that followed a protectionist path. There has been some evidence, however, that openness and growth have not been directly linked. The strength of this linkage was re-tested, controlling for some of the possible confounding factors involved in previous studies. The analysis was restricted to industrialized nations rather than including both industrialized and developing countries. Further, an empirically derived measure of openness was used rather than average tariff rates, or weighted tariff rates, or coverage by non-tariff barriers. The empirical measure was based on actual import levels, controlling for wealth, population size, and customs area membership, thus providing a relative measure of openness with more precision. The ensuing analyses indicated that for the industrialized countries, the linkage between trade openness and growth was weak and inconsistent, although there was no evidence that open trading systems hindered growth.     

A NOTE ON SEMIVARIANCE

In a recent paper ( Jin, Yan, and Zhou 2005 ), it is proved that efficient strategies of the continuous-time mean–semivariance portfolio selection model are in general never achieved save for a trivial case. In this note, we show that the mean–semivariance efficient strategies in a single period are always attained irrespective of the market condition or the security return distribution. Further, for the below-target semivariance model the attainability is established under the arbitrage-free condition. Finally, we extend the results to problems with general downside risk measures.     

服务贸易发展中的政府行为研究--以美国和印度为例

根据波特的竞争优势理论,一国竞争优势形成的关键在于能否使主导产业具有优势,在优势的培育过程中,波特过度地强调了企业和市场的作用,低估了政府的作用,认为政府的作用仅仅是一个辅助性的因素.事实上,综观一些服务贸易大国,我们会发现,政府的作用是极其重要的因素.长期以来,我国政府部门对发展服务贸易的重视不够.随着我国加入WTO组织,对我国服务贸易的相关政策关注就显得越来越重要,那么对于服务贸易发展中的政府行为的研究就非常必要.     

论我国证券交易中投资者的法律地位

浅析国际货物贸易中的预期违约

案情上海D公司生产的家具式样美观、结实耐用、用料考究,90年代中期打入新加坡市场。2008年2月,新加坡Q公司向D公司发出购买家具的要约,要求订购1000套家具用于一家五星级酒店布置,并要求D公     

A NOTE ON MAIL SURVEYS AND RESPONSE RATES IN LOGISTICS RESEARCH

Logistics researchers frequently use mail surveys to collect data. This paper documents the decline in response rates to surveys reported in JBL, and presents a content analysis of mail survey results reported in two leading logistics journals, the Journal of Business Logistics and the International Journal of Physical Distribution and Logistic Management. One interesting finding is the more questionnaires mailed out in a given study, the lower the response rate.

A NOTE ON THE GENERALIZED MULTIBETA CAPM

The unified beta theory of Connor (1984) requires that the market portfolio be well diversified in a given factor structure. Wei (1988) extended Connor's results without relying on this assumption. This note provides an alternative to Wei's result by assuming that residuals from the projection of asset return on a set of k factors follow a joint elliptical distribution.
