金价逆周期性的历史条件和形成机制

本文在回顾黄金经济属性历史演变的基础上，分析了黄金非货币化后作为商品和资产所遵循的价值规律；在对金价变动的历史经验进行分析后，得出了金价存在领先的逆周期性特征以及外生冲击在金价变动中起着重要作用的结论；利用实际经济周期理论通过实际冲击及其传播机制研究经济周期的框架，研究了外生冲击引起的资产替代效应对金价的影响，分析了固定资产、金融资产、信用货币三种传播途径的作用方式，说明黄金价格具有实际经济周期预警信号的作用。     

产业结构变动与经济周期波动的关联性分析

从理论上来看,宏观经济周期是反映整体经济波动的经济变量,而中观的产业结构又是构成宏观经济的重要载体,因此,经济周期波动与产业结构变动存在相互影响的关系。文章选取1952-2011年的我国GDP和产业结构数据,采用Granger因果检验方法和VAR模型来分析产业结构和经济周期波动之间的关系及其影响程度。研究认为,我国产业结构变动是引起宏观经济周期波动的深层次原因,同样,经济周期波动也是引起产业结构变动的显著原因,二者之间存在双向影响的Granger因果关系。

2009年新疆财政经济形势分析及预测

一、我国经济运行态势分析 自2008年4季度起,我国国民经济增长由上升转为下降趋势。国内多数人认为我国经济的下滑足由全球金融危机引起的,而实际上,世界经济的此次下滑,次贷危机和商品价格上涨所带来的短期冲击只是其原因之一,而主要是周期性调整叠加所致,由此,我国经济的运行低迷也是由于内因我国经济周期规律发挥作用的结果,全球金融危机引起的国际市场需求明显下滑的影响只是加大了我国经济周期调整中的下滑速度,使我国经济周期变化的特征更明显。     

我国货币政策冲击对实际产出周期波动的非对称影响分析

本文运用马尔可夫转移模型和冲击响应分析等方法，检验了我国货币政策冲击与实际产出之间的动态关系，发现货币政策冲击对产出的影响存在明显的非对称性，并且产出对货币冲击的反应存在着“低度反应”和“高度反应”区制；我们通过时变转移概率方法进一步检验描述非对称反应的三种可能形式，即关于货币政策冲击方向、冲击规模和经济周期阶段的非对称形式。     

中国利率期限结构对经济周期波动的预测能力检验——基于动态Probit模型的研究途径

本文对我国利率期限结构对经济周期波动的预测能力进行实证研究.首先,利用时差相关分析方法选择我国经济周期波动的利差先行指标.然后,利用基于利差先行指标的动态Probit模型检验我国利率期限结构对经济周期波动状态的预测能力,并且对静态Probit模型和动态Probit模型、各种动态Probit模型之间的预测效果也进行了比较.研究结果表明,我国利率期限结构变动对未来3个月的经济周期波动状态具有比较稳定的指示作用,利用经济状态先验信息的动态Probit模型的预测效果优于静态Probit模型.     

我国宏观经济时间序列的结构突变与宏观经济运行态势分析

院文章基于双变量结构突变模型,利用Andrews 检验统计量和Bai 子样本过程以及Hansen 异方差固定回归元自举法对我国主要宏观经济变量之间关系的稳定性进行了检验.研究发现,自20 世纪90 年代以来,在金融危机、体制改革等外部冲击和内部冲击的双重作用和影响下,我国主要宏观经济指标,例如消费、投资和政府支出等与国内生产总值之间的关系均发生了不同程度的结构突变,这意味着我国经济周期波动态势也出现了转变.     

我国经济周期波动态势的区域划分与动态特征检验

本文利用贝叶斯估计结合门限自回归模型,对我国经济周期波动态势进行了分析和判断,检验中发现我国经济周期波动动态机制变迁的门限增长率为9.36%.当经济增长率高于这个门限值后,经济周期波动具有自稳定的均值回归特征;当经济增长率低于这个门限值后,经济周期波动具有向更高稳态的迁移特征,这意味着我国现阶段的经济增长过程具有内生的稳定性,这也是近年来我国经济波动率趋于稳定的重要原因.从经济周期波动的动态轨迹判断,我国经济仍然具备保持快速稳定增长的基础,因此需要利用有效宏观调控来保证快速稳定增长的实现.     

我国利率下调的效应

利率的变动在现代经济活动中所产生的影响比粮食等价格的变动所产生的影响要广泛深远得多。在市场经济较发达的国度里，利率即使是变动０．５个百分点，市场敏感度也很高，大都会引起相应的变动，但在我国目前的经济环境里，利率的变动一般还不会那么“立杆见影”，相对而...     

我国经济周期波动态势与经济增长趋势分析

我国经济实现“软着陆”以后，经济周期的形式和特征发生了显著变化，在今后的持续增长过程中将由“峰前谷后”的极度非对称性周期逐渐向以自然率为平均增长水平的对称性周期转变。我国经济周期波动的长尾特征必然带来经济“软着陆”后的“软扩张”。目前经济增长的总需求驱动、扩张性的需求管理政策、虚拟经济和实际经济之间的和谐影响等，都将继续成为我国经济增长阶段性中的代表性属性。     

Development in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Statistics at the Australian Bureau of Statistics

This paper outlines the ICT statistical developments that the ABS has undertaken over recent years. These developments have been on both the supply side (ICT industry) and the demand side (use of IT by sector). The content of ABS ICT surveys has changed significantly over the last few years and are expected to develop further in line with industry changes and emerging policy needs.
Recent developments in household collections have been the inclusion of IT use questions in the 2001 Census of Population and Housing and in various ABS social surveys such as Children's Participation in Culture and Leisure Activities. Annual business IT use surveys are now conducted and include topics such as Internet commerce and IT security. Biennial ICT industry surveys are conducted to provide data on ICT production, imports and exports, ICT industry employment, performance and structure information. An Internet activity survey is run every six months and provides regional Internet access details and infrastructure details on Internet service providers.
A major development for 2002–03 will be the compilation of an ICT satellite account. ABS intends to produce an ICT Information Development Plan to guide its future statistical development work in the ICT field.     

Value at Risk in the Suburbs: Eminent Domain and the Geographical Politics of the US Foreclosure Crisis

Several US counties and local governments have recently considered a novel solution to the foreclosure crisis. They plan to use eminent domain to compel the owners of mortgage debt—and specifically of private‐label mortgage‐backed securities—to sell the debt to the government at a price reflecting the loan's market value. The government would then restructure the debt and resell it to new investors. The plans are striking because—in contrast to both development‐driven eminent domain and the federal subprime bank bailout—they would force investors to assume asset devaluation and increased long‐term risk. Notably, the plans have emerged as an instance of financialization‐focused politics in suburbs and suburban cities of color, specifically majority‐black and ‐Latino/a suburbs. Local support for the plans, we argue, is rooted in the long‐term disinvestment of these ‘suburbs of exception', which became targets of subprime lending and eventually sites where the ‘financial exception' has been localized. But these demographic shifts, fragmentation and fiscal pressures have at the same time created a suburban political terrain in which the plans have gained their strongest political support.     

Towards a Theory of Serendipity: A Systematic Review and Conceptualization

Serendipity – the notion of making surprising and valuable discoveries – plays a major role in the success of individuals and organizations alike. Previous research has established the importance of serendipity and identified important individual- and organizational-level antecedents. However, the literature has been dispersed and the boundaries of the concept have been blurry, leading to a lack of conceptual clarity and structure, and thus limiting validity and managerial actionability. Based on a systematic literature review, I synthesize existing management-related research on serendipity and explicate the emergence and composition of serendipity in the organizational context. I first identify three necessary conditions that differentiate serendipity from related concepts such as luck or targeted innovation: agency, surprise, and value. Then, I draw from the literature on sensemaking, event-based theorizing, and quantum-based approaches to management to conceptualize the process of cultivating serendipity in the organizational context as a process of enabling potentiality and materialization, and develop a multi-level theory of (cultivating) serendipity. This conceptualization contributes to our collective understanding of how, why, and when (i.e., under what conditions) organizations can leverage the value in the unexpected, which opens up fruitful avenues for further research.     

Accountability of NGOs in Bangladesh A critical overview

NGOs in Bangladesh have been recognized as effective change agents in the socio-economic arena throughout the world. Their contributions in micro credit, non-formal education and primary health care are widely known. NGOs play a significant role in society. NGO accountability, as a result, has become a critical issue. NGO accountability in Bangladesh has been examined here in relation to patrons, clients and themselves. Of the three relationships only accountability to patrons is in a near satisfactory state. Accountability to clients is handicapped by lack of opportunities of beneficiaries to participate meaningfully in NGO policy making. Accountability to themselves is adversely affected due to the adherence to a strictly hierarchical system and the influence of founding and charismatic NGO leaders.     

Towards an Asian model of human resource management? A comparative analysis of China,Japan and South Korea

There has been much discussion regarding the possible decline and weakening of national systems of human resource management (HRM). Yet, culture and institutions are often cited as the major stumbling blocks to this outcome. Such constraints may dissipate in the analysis, particularly if ‘regional clusters’ are considered where geographic and cultural closeness and ‘openness’ to similar economic pressures exist. In such cases, it might be postulated that convergence in HRM will occur. We argue that China, Japan and South Korea represent such a cluster. This article examines these countries, to see if a degree of convergence is taking place and if it is towards an identifiable ‘Asian’ model of HRM. A model of change is presented that distinguishes between levels of occurrence and acceptance. Details of the development and practice of HRM in each country are then set out. The article ends with a discussion and implications section and a brief conclusion.     

Ansätze und Ergebnisse anglo-amerikanischer M&A-Forschung

Based on a review of established U.S. management journals (1995–2003), six schools of thought are identified within the Anglo-American M&;A research: “Capital Market”, “Principal/Agent”, “Industrial Organization”, “Organizational Behavior”, “Human Resources” and “Strategic Management”. The literature review shows that the definition of M&;A success, the methods applied, and insights from empirical research differ according to the respective school of thought. Empirical studies focus on the resource combinations of merger partners, the specific circumstances of merger negotiations, and on integration management as antecedents of merger performance. Unfortunately, empirical findings have not yet provided reliable explanations for M&;A success. Based on the current state of Anglo-American M&;A research, the authors discuss implications for business practice, identify research gaps, and propose areas for future research.     

Introduction of New Technology with a Sound Transition of the Input-Output Structure

We examine the general equilibrium repercussions associated with the introduction of new technologies, using the generalized Leontief system that allows technological substitutions. We show that an untested introduction of cost-increasing technologies in any industry may result in creating a non-productive technological structure that does not satisfy the Hawkins-Simon condition, following the autonomous dynamic adjustment process with structural transitions in the economic system. Therefore, we propose a practicable control scheme of introducing cost-increasing technologies that strictly avoids the creation of non-productive structures in all periods of structural transition, using the available information on the ex ante technological structure.     

The Creation of the Office for National Statistics

A new Office for National Statistics was created in the United Kingdom in 1996 following a series of developments designed to strengthen the relevance and integrity of statistics. This paper describes these fundamental changes and sets out a blueprint for future progress. It also sets current developments in the United Kingdom in an historical and international context.     

What helps? Women engineers' accounts of staying on

We have considerable understanding of the obstacles that women engineers encounter and the reasons that they leave the field, but we know less about what enables them to remain. Adopting an interpretivist approach, this article examines how a group of British women engineers in two FTSE 100 companies account for “staying on” in their male‐dominated work settings. We delineate four specific forms of help that facilitate women's retention in the field. We argue that exposure to help leads to women developing a habitus that enables them to continue working in engineering. To conclude, we draw on our findings to outline HR practices that will facilitate supportive relationships in the workplace and pave the way towards developing more positive organisational climates.
