蒙古族翻译文学与中国现代文学译介研究

蒙古国学者巴.索特纳木于20世纪40年代提出"翻译文学"的概念。之后策.达木丁苏荣等主编的文学史著作全面地反映了当时蒙古文学在接受异文化过程中发展、演进的大致轨迹,为进一步挖掘和深入研究翻译文学奠定了基础。蒙汉文学交流史的跨文化特性,为蒙汉文学比较研究提供了基本条件。研究当代蒙汉文学交流,对蒙古族翻译文学史研究、民族文学关系史研究都有重要价值。该领域的研究对比较文学研究提供了诸多新的课题,理应成为当今比较文学研究的一项重要任务。着手研究中国现当代文学在蒙古地区的传播与影响,梳理基本脉络,勾勒其发展轨迹,是目前急需着手开展的课题。     

Bank efficiency,market structure and strategic interaction: Evidence from Vietnam

This study investigates the impacts of Vietnamese banks’ efficiency on the strategic interactions with their rivals. The study argues that efficient banks will compete the market to grow, and then become more responsive to the strategies from their rivals. The study extends the Efficiency Structure theory to capture the behaviours of banks after the evolvement of market structure as the result of efficiency improvement. The study further argues that the speed of growth plays a key role in moderating the relationship between efficiency and strategic interaction. The study finds evidence that the impact of efficiency on strategic interaction is stronger at the lower level of growth.     

学习技术还是学习思想——西方经济学教学中的难点评析

在西方经济学的教学中,思想和技术的学习应该完美地结合起来,缺一不可。而中国大学西方经济学的课时安排与教材选择,基本的倾向是侧重于技术的学习而忽略了思想的学习。经过几年尝试性的试验,我们认为,应该在现在的教学模式上再增加一些基础课时来学习经济学基础,这对今后理解和掌握西方经济学并且借鉴西方经济学的有益部分不无好处。     

Exploring advertising as an antecedent to brand experience dimensions: an experimental study

The objective of the study is to investigate the impact of advertising on brand experience dimensions for an existing bank and a financial technology (Fintech) brand. A 2?×?2 between-subject experimental study was conducted that analyzed the antecedents of brand experience dimensions and compared them between an existing bank and a fintech brand. The study confirmed the main effect of advertising on all brand experience dimensions. The brand experience scores for the fintech brand were higher than that of the existing bank brand, and significant differences were observed for sensory, emotional, and behavioral brand experience dimensions. The study confirms the influence of advertising on both existing bank and fimtech brand. While most of the previous studies are based on survey research, the present study provides deep probing using experimental study. It seeks to understand the antecedent to brand experience in the context of an emerging country.     

EXTERNAL AUDITOR EVALUATION OF THE INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION

This study examines the relative importance of the factors used by external auditors when valuating an internal audit function. The study also examines the consistency of external auditors in making evaluations of an internal audit function. The factors used are based on Statement of Auditing Practice AUP 2 “Using the Work of an Internal Auditor” and a similar study conducted in the U.S.A. The two factors which this study finds to be the most significant are ‘technical competence’ and ‘due professional care’. The study finds a high degree of consensus across the respondents with respect to the evaluation of the internal audit function, and a high degree of insight and stability in their judgements.     

Preparation for a first level university accounting course: The experience in New zealand

This study seeks to extend the work of Baldwin and Howe (1982) in three ways: first, to differentiate between the different levels of accounting in high school; second, to take into account the level of previous study in economics and mathematics; and third, to examine the effects of these previous levels of study on three different parts of the first level university accounting course. The results are in agreement with the majority of earlier research in that the level of previous study of accounting had no association with the performance in any part of the course. The study of economics showed a positive association with performance in the course, with the major benefit in management accounting.     

Accounting for suffering: Calculative practices in the field of disaster relief

This study examines the role of accounting and other calculative practices in the context of a natural disaster and subsequent emergency-relief effort. Relying on document analysis and interviews with key participants, the study chronologically examines when, how, and with what effects accounting and other associated practices were mobilized in the follow-up to an earthquake that occurred in the Abruzzo region of central Italy in 2009. The study considers these practices through the three lenses of private-interest maximization, inequality, and suffering. The study shows how accounting actors simultaneously serve multiple ethical masters, and how one of these can come to dominate accounting's ‘moral economy’. In so doing, the study helps bridge the gap between ethics and critical accounting research.     

The value of a neighborhood street with reference to the cul-de-sac

This article provides empirical evidence from Halifax, Nova Scotia, confirming the view that the type of neighborhood street can affect home values. The study identifies two categories of streets-the cul-de-sac and the grid-and measures their impacts on home value. The hypothesis that the cul-de-sac would attract premium values was supported by the study. In this study, the cul-de-sac generated a 29 percent price premium over the grid street pattern. The study concludes with a discussion of planning and development implications.     

Experimental Research in Auditing: Field vs. Laboratory Settings

This paper reports a laboratory study which replicates an earlier field based study reported in this journal (Houghton, 1983). The conclusions of the laboratory study are identical to those reported in the field study. Specifically, the studies find that while the presence and content (‘clear’ versus ‘subject to’ qualification) of audit opinions do not have a significant impact on the loan decisions of corporate bankers, they do significantly influence the decision processes of those bankers.     

Voluntary disclosure practices amongst listed companies in Nigeria

This study examines voluntary disclosure practices amongst listed companies in Nigeria. Results from univariate and multivariate analyses of 52 listed companies suggest an average voluntary disclosure of 44% based on modified Meek, Roberts and Gray (1995) disclosure index comprising 24 disclosure items. The study found significant positive relationship between voluntary disclosure and firm size, measured as the natural logarithm of total asset. The study documents significant positive relationship between market-based definition of firm performance and voluntary disclosure. The study also found significant negative relationship between percentage of block share ownership and percentage of managerial share with firm disclosures. The study has important implication for both individual and institutional investors globally, regulators and policy makers in developing economies.     

边缘地区主导产业理论研究述评

边缘地区主导产业研究依托于区域主导产业研究,目前重点集中在三个方面：一是区域主导产业选择影响因素;二是主导产业选择基准;三是主导产业形成的制度环境、文化环境和培育途径方面。缺乏深入研究的是：对边缘地区的产业链问题未给予充分关注,对微观层面企业组织对边缘地区主导产业的形成以及作用机制未深入研究。在理论实践上,边缘地区主导产业政策在制定时往往忽视划分中央与地方政府财权与事权,导致产业政策制定缺乏灵活性、时效性、契合性。这些将会是下一步边缘地区主导产业研究的主要方向。     

Accounting and business students’ approaches to learning: A longitudinal study

This study reports the results of an investigation into the learning approaches of undergraduate accounting and business students from three universities in Ireland who were exposed to a learning environment, namely the case study method, which aimed to encourage a deep approach to learning. In order to assess the effectiveness of the intervention, the ASSIST research instrument was used to investigate changes in students’ approaches to learning over time. Consistent with previous research, this study considers whether gender is related to students’ approaches to learning over time and if there are differences between students majoring in accounting or business in their approaches to learning. The results of the study indicate that the case study intervention was successful in some respects. However, contrary to expectations, an overall statistically significant increase in students’ surface approach to learning was found. Additionally, it is reported that changes in students’ approaches to learning over time are not associated with gender or degree program. The results of this study offer insights to accounting educators developing educational interventions to encourage deep approaches to learning.     

Economic policy uncertainty,investor attention and post-earnings announcement drift

How the market incorporates information into stock price is a core issue in finance. This study focuses on the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on the stock prices information efficiency of China's A-share market and underlying role of investors' attention allocation mechanism. This study analyzes the information efficiency of stock prices using the sensitivity of stock cumulative abnormal return to earnings information across different windows following earnings announcement. Based on the earnings announcement events of listed companies in China's A-share market, this study presents an empirical study of the aforementioned issues using event study and regression analysis methods. The following results are seen: (1) EPU aggravates the underreaction of stock price earnings information and the post-earnings announcement drift in the A-share market. (2) Under highly uncertain economic policies, investors show a limited attention allocation pattern of devoting increasing attention to macroeconomic policies and decreasing attention to earnings information, which leads to a decrease in the information efficiency of stock price. This study also analyzes the heterogeneity of the influence of EPU on stock price information efficiency using the institutional shareholding ratio. The results show that increasing institutional shareholding does not reduce the adverse effects of EPU on the information efficiency of stock prices. This study not only provides empirical evidence for Brunnermeier, Sockin, and Xiong (2022) and rational inattention theory, but also reveals that institutional investors show similar behavioral characteristics to retail investors in China's stock market. The results of this study have policy significance for improving the information efficiency of stock market.

Identifying small mean-reverting portfolios

Given multivariate time series, we study the problem of forming portfolios with maximum mean reversion while constraining the number of assets in these portfolios. We show that it can be formulated as a sparse canonical correlation analysis and study various algorithms to solve the corresponding sparse generalized eigenvalue problems. After discussing penalized parameter estimation procedures, we study the sparsity versus predictability trade-off and the significance of predictability in various markets.     

关于审计判断中事实要素和价值要素的思考

判断在审计工作中具有重要的地位。半个多世纪以来的审计判断研究成效显著,但明显地停留在审计主体层面而欠完整和系统。客体因素应当研究,研究的重点是事实要素和价值要素的辨析和确认。     

AN ANALYSIS OF SUBMISSIONS TO THE ASRB ON RELEASE 411 ‘FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION—QUESTIONNAIRE’

This study examines the accounting method preferences of the managers of firms who made submissions to the ASRB on Release 411 ‘Foreign Currency Translation— Questionnaire’. Content analysis of the actual submissions is used to obtain a measure of the strength of accounting method preferences indicated therein. This aspect of the study combats criticism of previous studies in relation to the oversimplification associated with the dichotomous categorisation of accounting method preferences. The results of the study also provide some support for this criticism of earlier research. Overall, the study provides some evidence that accounting method preferences for foreign currency transactions are made in an attempt to maximise the value of the firm.     

Cultural futures for thailand: An ethnographic enquiry

The author outlines an ethnographic and cultural approach developed during a study of Thailand's future-a study which necessitated different approaches from those commonly used in futures research in dealing with the developed world. The study was based on interviews with Thais currently living in California and shows widespread agreement among the interviewees, particularly on the possibility of large-scale violence in Thailand in the 1980s.

Accounting and networks of corruption

This study examines the nature and role of accounting practices in a network of corruption in an influence-market setting. The study focuses on the Canadian government’s Sponsorship Program (1994–2003), a national unification scheme that saw approximately $50 million diverted into the bank accounts of political parties, program administrators, and their families, friends and business colleagues. Relying on the institutional sociology of Bourdieu, the study demonstrates the precise role of accounting practices in the organization of a corrupt network imbued with a specific telos and certain accounting tasks. The study illustrates how accounting is accomplished and by whom, and it shows how the ‘skillful use’ of accounting practices and social interactions around these practices together enable corruption. In so doing, the study builds on a growing body of work examining criminogenic networks and the contextual, collaborative and systemic uses of accounting in such networks.
