WHAT CAUSES THE EFFICIENCY AND THE TECHNOLOGY GAP UNDER DIFFERENT OWNERSHIP STRUCTURES IN THE CHINESE BANKING INDUSTRY?

This paper estimates and compares the cost efficiency of the Chinese banking industry among different ownership types for the period 2003–2014, using the stochastic metafrontier model. We find that foreign banks have the lowest cost frontier, while state‐owned commercial banks undertake the least sophisticated technology. Moreover, the results of the upward trend in the technology gap ratio (TGR) and in metafrontier cost efficiency support that a more open financial market is able to enhance banking efficiency. As for the role of environmental conditions, off‐balance sheet items, non‐performing loans, and financial market structure significantly impact the TGRs of different bank types.

The Demography of Resources

A longitudinal event‐history analysis using complete data on the aircraft fleets of all British airlines over the period 1919 to 1975 was applied to elucidating how a firm's internal resource demography can explain its resource divestiture decisions. The likelihood of divestiture for any particular aircraft was found to depend strongly on its age and size, but also on the age and size heterogeneity of an airline's entire fleet. The results constitute a demonstration of the utility of taking a demographic approach to studying the management of resource portfolios. This approach may also prove fruitful in the study of other types of strategic resources and their management.     

Optimal pricing strategy for foreign market entry: a game theoretic approach

Given that pricing plays an important role in a company's international competitive strategy, researchers have long argued the need for theory building in the area of international pricing. This study develops an optimal pricing strategy for foreign market entry using a game theoretic framework. The proposed model assumes two firms, a local incumbent and a foreign entrant, competing in a market. Consumers know the quality of the incumbent's offering, but do not know how it compares to that of the foreign entrant's. Based on these assumptions, and using the theory of inference making, we propose an upward price distortion by the entrant firm as an optimal entry strategy under incomplete information. The paper presents a game theoretic derivation to establish that the game has a unique intuitive separating equilibrium where the entrant firm stands to gain by engaging in upward price distortion to signal high quality to consumers.

Do China's people favour redistribution? Evidence from an incentivized experiment

From 1949, China's leaders brought their country through three decades of income and wealth compression, which was followed by more than three decades of sharply rising inequality. What preferences do China's people hold regarding what price (if any) is worth paying for greater equality? We conduct a laboratory decision‐making experiment mimicking aspects of a macro‐political–economic environment, using Chinese undergraduate student subjects. We find that our subjects have qualitatively similar tastes for equality as their counterparts in parallel US and European experiments; for example, most are willing to sacrifice some payment for more equality of earnings among other participants, and their willingness to do this is stronger when inequalities originate randomly versus based on performance. Considering the cases permitting direct comparison between Chinese and US subjects’ choices, redistributive choices tend to be a bit higher in China if the participant pays no direct cost and a bit lower if he or she pays such a cost, but the two distributions of decisions differ significantly in under 14% of conditions. Survey data too suggests preferences for a more equal income distribution in China than in other East Asian countries, suggesting a possible impact of the Chinese Communist Party dominance in education and media.     

妊娠妇女对药品说明书内容的认知度调查

目的探讨妊娠妇女对药品说明书内容的认知程度。方法采用随机抽样方法,选取330例我院产科门诊就诊的妊娠妇女进行问卷调查,并对药品说明书内容的认知程度进行分析。结果收回有效问卷324例,妊娠妇女的总体学历层次较高,大专及以上占63.0%,高中(包括职高)占22.2%,初中占13.0%,小学及以下占1.8%。而对于说明书的阅读调查中,46.3%的妊娠妇女阅读了3次,76.5%的妊娠妇女仔细阅读了说明书,其中99.4%认为药品说明书内容对其正确、安全用药有帮助。对药品说明书的关注度受到妊娠妇女年龄、学历等因素的影响,且对说明书中内容的重视程度不同,从高到低依次是孕妇及哺乳期用药、用法用量、不良反应、适应证、有效期、注意事项、禁忌等。结论妊娠妇女对药品说明书的认知程度有待提高,需要医师、药师的耐心指导,以确保用药安全。     

贸易开放、人口规模与中国地方政府规模：驱动还是补偿*

针对贸易开放、人口规模和中国地方政府规模之间联系究竟是驱动促成还是补偿所致的争论,本文基于中国29个省份1978—2013年三个维度样本数据,首先考察三者之间的关系,研究发现贸易开放对地方政府规模具有正向影响,人口规模对地方政府规模的影响不确定,人口规模对贸易开放存在正向影响。采用多种内生性处理方法的估计表明,贸易开放对地方政府规模的正向影响是因果性的。上述结论在不同的估计方法、数据类型、模型设定下均十分稳健。人口规模并未在贸易开放与中国地方政府规模的正向联系中起到居间驱动作用,贸易开放基于风险补偿机制直接推动了中国地方政府规模的不断膨胀。因此,伴随“一带一路”的有序推进,适度提高地方政府在民生领域的支出规模可能势在必行。     

国际证监会组织的作用与局限——基于国际证券监管合作的视角

国际证监会组织(IOSCO)具有跨国监管网的一般特征,在国际证券监管合作中体现出高效性和专业性的优势。IOSCO的性质也决定了它的局限,如国际监管合作中的分配问题、执行问题、国内限制问题等。我国应该采取审慎的态度参与IOSCO活动,利用其优势,避免其局限,通过多种途径加强国际证券监管合作。
