电影业与信息技术融合,支撑上海影业中心建设

最近迪斯尼、梦工厂、温哥华电影学院等旗舰项目相继落户上海,上海重振电影业中心的愿景再度提上日程。面对北京在机构、政策、人才等方面强大的集聚效应,上海发展电影业中心的空间何在?我们团队的研究表明,电影业与信息网络技术近年来出现的紧密融合趋势,赋予了网游、动漫等信息服务业发达的上海特有的竞争优势。此为基础,结合发育良好的市场、便利的融资环境、外向性的文化特征,上海电影业的发展空间巨大。那么信息技术如何改变电影产业链?上海的战略又应如何?     

电影业路向何方？

在电影业的发展过程中,如何处理制片、发行和放映的关系一直是一个难题。制片是产业的发展基础和源头,发行是联结制片和放映的中心环节,放映业则是实现电影产品价值的市场终端,三者之间唇齿相依。纵观世界各国的电影业发展史,整合和分化总是与电影业如影随形。本文将从分析中国电影制片、发行和放映三者之间的纵向关系入手,通过借鉴美国和英国电影业的整合战略,探讨中国

美国六大行一季报全线飘红或重回鼎盛时期今年一季度,华尔街六大行(摩根大通、摩根士丹利、高盛、美国银行、花旗集团和富国银行)给投资者交出了一份相当满意的成绩单。"开门红"预示着六大行终于走出长达五年之久的金融危机阴影。但对于迫切希望回到危机前鼎盛时期的美国银行业来说,未来还存在诸多阻碍。尽管六大行一季报的发布让市场信心大增,但一些分析师仍然在"泼冷水",他们认为,华尔街金融机构的表现通常每     

大连独立影像创作现状及问题分析

中国大陆对于独立影像的界定包括以下三个方面：（1）在“身份”上独立于主流体制之外。即制作人（或制作公司）与主流体制之间不存在行政或法律意义上的隶属关系，或股权上的关联关系。在制作资金的来源上独立于主流体制，投资人有权利决定作品（产品）的内容走向，并享有作品（产品）的版权。（2）在创作思想上不受票房和大众主流审美的影响，保持创作者独立的思想。

中美政府审计模式选择成因分析

我国的行政型审计模式与美国的立法型审计模式之间存在诸多差异,行政型审计模式在独立性上饱受诟病。立法型审计模式虽是当今审计模式的发展方向和主流,但审计模式的确立却不能独立于国家政治、经济和文化发展状况之外。文章重点分析在国家确立审计模式背后的原因。     

26岁的关向应 出彩中共六大

3月23日,国家主席习近平在莫斯科出席"中共六大会址纪念馆"建馆启动仪式。许多年轻读者也许不知,中共六大这一事件与东北有着深厚渊源。1928年6月,大连人关向应就是在莫斯科召开的党的六大上,当选中央政治局候补委员,进入党中央高级领导层。那年的7月,也是在莫斯科,关向应当选团中央书记。纪念馆中共六大会址是莫斯科郊外的一座三层楼房,目前已然破败不堪,窗户被烧光,屋顶也没了,近年的两次失火使它完

中、美证券公司业务结构的实证比较

本文对国内证券公司业务结构与美国证券业进行了实证比较。结果表明,国内证券公司规模小,盈利能力差,业务结构单一,过分依靠传统的经纪业务。这就造成了国内证券业盈利能力取决于二级市场的好坏,系统风险过大,不利于行业的发展。本文的实证结果为监管部门未来政策制定提供实证证据。     

《烟草控制框架公约》背景下美英烟草企业营销手段的调整与成效

由于世界范围内《烟草控制框架公约》的履行以及各国控烟法律、法规的执行，烟草企业的营销活动受到了严格管制．国外烟草企业近年来对其营销策略进行了相应的调整。文章以美国和英国为例，分析国外烟草企业的营销策略调整与成效。美国烟草商在守法的前提下充分利用各种时机从事多种市场营销活动，并极力争取青少年消费市场；英国企业从强调创造一次性销售交易，转变为与消费者建立稳定的长期关系。这些措施都增强了企业的竞争优势，从而扩大了销售和盈利的空间。

The location of American and Japanese multinationals in Europe

This paper examines the determinants of location choice of American and Japanese foreign direct investment in European manufacturing industries in the early 1990s. The new data used in this study covers 340 Japanese-owned affiliates and 2,312 US-owned affiliates distributed across 38 regions and 7 member states in the European Union. The statistical analysis finds, most importantly, that the location decisions of US and Japanese MNEs are not the same. The Japanese results are consistent with the behavior that firms consider production-cost factors more important than demand-side factors, suggesting Japanese firms’ motive to establish local production capacity to export within the EU market. On the contrary, both cost-side and demand-side factors are found important determinants of location choices for US firms. The results also suggest that location decisions are industry-specific.

Heterogeneity and the FDI versus export decision of Japanese manufacturers

We investigate whether productivity differences explain why some manufacturers sell only to the domestic market while others serve foreign markets through exports and/or FDI. When overseas production offers no cost advantages, our model predicts that investors should be more productive than exporters. An extension allowing for low-cost foreign production can reverse this prediction. Data for 1070 large Japanese firms reveal that firms that invest abroad and export are more productive than firms that just export. Among overseas investors, more productive firms span a wider range of host-country income levels. J. Japanese Int. Economies 17 (4) (2003) 448–467.     

Estimation of productivity and markups with price dispersion: Evidence from Chinese manufacturing during economic transition

We estimate firm productivity and markups in the presence of heterogeneous output and input prices. We assume that firms are monopolistically competitive in the output market and that state firms are favored and pay lower prices for inputs due to political connections. The proxy-variable (or called the control-function-based) approach of structurally identifying production functions and productivity is customized to our new setting. Our approach solves the underidentification problem inherent in the standard proxy-variable method. We investigate the Chinese transportation equipment industry and find evidence against perfect competition and price homogeneity. We also find that productivity and markup differentials and dynamics are consistent with the market-oriented reforms in China.     

Occupational Composition Within Multinational Firms: Evidence From Korean Employer-Employee Matched Data

Using Korean employer-employee matched data, we investigate the difference in occupational structure between domestic and multinational firms in manufacturing sectors. The main result shows that the occupational composition of the multinational firms is more skewed toward high-skills and service occupations than domestic firms. Furthermore, we find the heterogeneous labour structure among multinational firms upon types and locations of foreign affiliates. The multinationals that are establishing production plants or locating their affiliates in emerging countries tend to be composed of relatively smaller share of high-skills and service occupations than those with foreign R&D centres or business branch or with affiliates located in advanced countries.     

自愿性信息披露对公司价值的影响研究

根据代理理论与信号理论,资质优良的公司有动力通过自愿性信息披露降低代理成本或突出自身竞争优势,因此,作为一种信号传递机制或契约安排,自愿性信息披露将对上市公司价值产生影响.以此为切入点,文章选取了沪市2004年制造业公司作为研究样本,实证检验了上市公司自愿性信息披露与公司价值之间的关系,结果发现,自愿性信息披露与公司价值之间呈现显著的正相关关系;由此,有必要进一步地加强我国上市公司的自愿性信息披露制度.     

Import competition from and offshoring to low-income countries: Implications for employment and wages at U.S. domestic manufacturers

Using confidential linked firm-level trade transactions and census data between 1997 and 2012, we provide new evidence on how American firms without foreign affiliates adjust employment and wages as they adapt to import competition from low-income countries. We provide stylized facts on the input sourcing strategies of these domestic firms, contrasting them with multinationals operating in the same industry. We then investigate how changes in firm input purchases from low-income countries as well as domestic market import penetration from these sources are correlated with changes in employment and wages at surviving domestic firms. Greater offshoring by domestic firms from low-income countries correlates with larger declines in manufacturing employment and in the average production workers’ wage. Given the negative association, however, the estimated magnitudes are small, even for a narrow measure of offshoring that includes only intermediate goods. Import penetration of U.S. markets from these sources is associated with relatively larger changes in employment for arm’s length importing firms, but has no significant correlation with employment changes at firms that do not trade. Given differences in the degree of both offshoring and import penetration, we find substantial variation across industries in the magnitude of changes associated with low-income country imports.
