加拿大商学院管理类课程教学方法的实证分析

商学院主要培养应用型专业人才,这些人才需要具备很强的职业能力,比如公众演讲能力、语言表达能力、独立决策能力、以及团队合作能力。加拿大一些顶级商学院在培养这种应用型专业人才方面有很多成功的经验。本文就以加拿大的一所商学院为例初步分析了该学院管理类主干课程的授课方法,并且通过对这些课的《课程简介》中的数据进行分析发现了不同的教学方法在培养学生的不同能力方面所起的不同作用。最后借鉴该学院先进的教学方法对我国商学院教学提出几点建议。

我国城乡金融发展不平衡与城乡收入差距拉大的实证研究

城乡收入差距在发展中国家是一个普遍存在的问题,引起这一差距的具体原因在不同国家和地区也不尽相同.其中,城乡二元经济结构、城乡劳动生产率差异是造成城乡收入差距的一个共同的因素,而城乡金融发展的不协调也是其中重要的影响因素.本文根据1985～2006年全国的数据运用了计量方法,对我国农村金融发展相对滞后与城乡收入差距的拉大之间的关系进行了研究.本文在指标选取和计量方法上进行了一些有益的探索.

外资企业融资结构与公司绩效的实证研究：以江苏省为例

基于外资企业年检系统所提供的截面数据,在对江苏省33000多家外资企业2008年末的财务报表和融资结构数据进行系统分析的基础上,分别采用普通最小二乘法(OLS)和极大似然估计法(MLE)建立多元线性回归模型对外资企业融资结构与公司绩效的关系进行检验,结果表明:在现阶段外资企业提高内源融资比重有利于促进公司绩效;增加银行借款比例不利于公司绩效提升;商业信用融资具有两面性,一方面增加了融资成本,另一方面有利于提高生产率.     

An analysis of commonality in the twin metropolitan areas of San Diego, California, and Tijuana, Mexico

A new application of spatial analysis is developed and applied to study the international twin metropolitan region of Tijuana, Mexico, and San Diego, California. Information on 16 variables from the US and Mexican censuses are merged in a common framework. A two-stage cluster analysis is applied to small area samples to determine metropolitan zones with common sets of characteristics. The results of the cluster analysis are spatially mapped and analyzed. This is done for all 16 variables, as well as for four variable groups that are determined through literature review and experience, and for an alternative set of variable groups derived from the data. The extent of commonality, defined as the similarity between socioeconomic and demographic profiles of the population in the San Diego-Tijuana region, is examined through the development of a commonality index that is determined by the extent of cluster overlap on both sides of the border. The findings are interpreted with respect to the research literature. The methods can be applied within academic research or in the planning of border cities having consistent data sets on both sides.

Hospital Reimbursement Incentives: An Empirical Analysis

Reimbursement systems for health-care providers are very complex, like the production systems that they regulate. This complexity has led to some important misperceptions about the incentive consequences of major reimbursement reforms. One example is the prospective payment system (PPS), developed to provide "high-powered" incentives through fixed prices for hospital admissions for the US elderly. In fact, various features of the DRG system allow reimbursement to vary with actual treatment decisions during an admission, and so are not prospective. This paper develops a general method for measuring actual reimbursement incentives in complex regulated price systems. The method uses regression techniques with variance decompositions to quantify the effects of particular features of the payment system on prospective and retrospective cost sharing, as well as overall generosity of payments. I apply this method to microdata on 20 percent of Medicare hospital admissions in 1987 and 1990 to summarize the incentives created by PPS in practice, and how the incentives are evolving over time. I show that PPS involves limited and decreasing cost sharing with hospitals, most of which is not prospective. The reimbursement incentives vary substantially across diagnoses, demographic groups, and types of intensive treatments, possibly with important implications for hospital behavior and medical expenditure growth. The techniques developed here can be used to analyze a broad range of provider reimbursement mechanisms.     

The Agency Relationship in Churches: An Empirical Analysis

Abstract . The agency relationship has been observed in a variety of settings. Churches, like other organizations, are plagued with the typical agency problems of moral hazard, observability, goal displacement, and risk aversion. How do churches cope with these issues in dealing with their most critical resource, clergy? This study analyzes the agency relationship between churches and their clergy. Using data from nine denominations, this study finds strong evidence that pastor compensation is not tied directly to performance, but rather indirectly through promotion tournaments. Successful pastors are rewarded by being called to larger, presumably wealthier and more prestigious, congregations. Since it is so difficult to observe and measure a pastor's performance in specific activities, churches differentiate good pastors from mediocre ones by considering their total performance, rather than any specific activities.     

居民金融资产结构性财富效应分析：一种模型的改进

1985～2006年样本数据表明,居民非证券类金融资产财富效应高于证券类金融资产财富效应,两种金融资产财富效应均高于住房资产财富效应。这种财富效应的特征由以下因素决定,一是证券价值的波动过大限制其财富效应的发挥,二是证券资产比重过小使其对居民的消费影响有限,三是以储蓄为主的居民金融资产增长相对平稳。为发挥金融资产财富效应对扩大内需的作用,应该促进股市的平稳发展,防止股市替代效应和负面效应的产生;开辟多种投资渠道,提高居民财产性收入;发展银行理财和证券市场业务,增加居民家庭金融资产。     

股份制银行扩张进入中等城市对地方消费影响的实证分析

文章构建和分析了股份制银行扩张对地方消费影响的基本框架和定量模型。以鞍山市为例,以股份制银行扩张进入的2009年划界,利用SPSS19.0软件,分析了股份制银行扩张之前与扩张之后,鞍山市消费水平发展变化情况,计算了股份制银行扩张进入之后对鞍山消费发展的贡献。结果表明:股份制银行扩张之后,地方消费增长速度大于之前的增长速度;股份制银行扩张后,地方消费发展趋势超过之前的发展趋势;股份制银行利润每提升1个单位,地方消费提升超过17个单位。     

我国服务业发展的实证分析与财税政策选择

"十五"以来,我国服务业规模不断扩大,但总体发展水平相对滞后.加快服务业发展是促进产业结构升级,转变经济增长方式的重要途经.市场机制与政府政策是促进服务业发展的两个基本手段,而财税政策又是政府政策的主要内容.要鼓励财政投资适当向服务业倾斜并引导其他社会资本投向服务业;重视发挥服务业引导资金的作用,以弥补服务业领域的"市场失灵";优化财政性教育支出结构,支持职业教育发展,为服务业打造合格人才;完善营业税、增值税与消费税等各项税收政策,为服务业发展创造宽松的政策环境.     

An Empirical Analysis of Planned Obsolescence

This paper examines the decision to introduce new products by durable goods producers. Conventional wisdom suggests that durable goods producers introduce new products to kill off used products. However, used units may not compete with new units if initial price can capture the present value of all future transactions. Using new data from the textbook market, I find that publishers revise editions more frequently when competition from used textbooks increases. This suggests the presence of planned obsolescence. However, the time since the previous revision also significantly affects revision decisions, indicating that publishers' frequent revision cannot be attributed to planned obsolescence alone .
