信息化助推白沙管理升级

<正>几年前刚刚上任的总裁卢平女士发现:每次出差回来,桌上的文件就堆得像小山;年终总结时,交上来的材料都是厚厚一叠。她于是规定:凡是给她看的东西,只能是一张纸,上面直截了当地写明“题目、问题、方案、机遇、风险、结论和审批”。后来这家企业将“一张纸制度”逐渐归纳提炼为“简约管理”四个字。

Lies,damned lies and statistics: the accuracy of survey responses

That survey research is error prone is not a new idea and different varieties of non-sampling error have been investigated in the literature as well as consideration being given in many statistics textbooks to the issue of sampling error. The paper here considers research upon corporate environmental reporting. It compares information provided by corporate environmental reports with information that survey respondents claim their organization’s environmental report contains. This enables the accuracy of the claims to be assessed. Consideration is given to two different industries the Water industry and the Energy industry. Errors due to inaccurate reporting by survey respondents are shown to be relatively infrequent and respondents appear just about as likely to claim they report information that they do not, in fact, report as to fail to indicate that they report information that is, in fact, actually reported.

中国的对外贸易盈余失控了吗——来自中国1995年1月到2007年10月月度贸易数据的证据

本文以中国1995年1月~2007年10月月度进出口贸易数据为样本,依据理论模型的推导,采用较简洁的Engle&Granger协整关系方法论,对全样本和以2001年12月为界的两个子样本:1995年1月~2001年11月与2001年12月~2007年10月分别进行了协整检验,且对两个子样本在协整回归的基础上建立了误差修正模型(ECM)。我们得出如下结论:无论对于全样本还是两个子样本,我们发现中国月度出口和进口之间的协整关系都是存在的。中国的贸易盈余并没有失控,经常账户的跨期预算约束并没有被违反。

Environmental Taxation and Vertical Cournot Oligopolies: How Eco-industries Matter

This article specifies what an optimal pollution tax should be when dealing with a vertical Cournot oligopoly. Polluting firms sell final goods to consumers and outsource their abatement activities to an environment industry. It is assumed that both markets are imperfectly competitive. Thus, the tax is a single instrument used to regulate three sorts of distortions, one negative externality and two restrictions in production. Consequently, the optimal tax rate is the result of a trade-off that depends on the firms’ market power along the vertical structure. A detailed analysis of Cournot-Nash equilibria in both markets is also performed. In this context, the efficiency of abatement activities plays a key-role. It gives a new understanding to the necessary conditions for the emergence of an eco-industrial sector.      

Competition Policy: What are the Costs and Benefits of Measuring its Costs and Benefits?

Summary  Competition authorities are increasingly measuring the effects of their enforcement actions, seeking a robust justification for the proliferation of competition policy. We highlight the importance of identifying the right counterfactual against which to measure effects, and set out the relevant categories of costs and benefits. We then explore how a balance can be struck between the benefits and inherent limitations of these measurement exercises. Relatively crude analyses of cartel action benefits can be sufficient to achieve public legitimacy for competition policy. Assessing the effects of merger and conduct inquiries is often ambiguous, but could be used to improve decision-making processes.
