我国社会保障政策回顾与评价

本文回顾了改革开放以来我国社会保障政策的演变过程,评价了当前社会保障政策效果。实践证明,我国已形成了覆盖城乡的社会保障政策体系,社会保障政策在保障人民生活方面发挥了极其重要的作用。然而,我国的社会保障政策仍存在许多不足,需要进一步完善。     

The Impact of 2007/08 Financial Crisis on the Stability and Enlargement of the EMU

Before 2007/08, the European Monetary Union (EMU) was expected to be enlarged on schedule, but the European sovereign debt problem, triggered by the exogenous US sub‐prime crisis, not only has revealed the EMU's fiscal coordination failure, but also has weakened regional financial integration. The stagnation of financial integration will therefore increase the cost of sustaining a monetary union, which in turn slows EMU enlargement and ruins the reputation of the euro. This paper aims to measure the damage to financial integration and to provide a more precise answer on real interest rate parity (RIP) convergence. Our estimation indicates that RIP between the EMU and some accession candidates is still valid after the interruptions of the financial crises. However, convergence of real interest rates cannot be achieved until 2030. This implies the EMU authority must strengthen regional financial integration to solidify the EMU and then be able to re‐start enlargement.     

R&D两面性、技术引进与浙江省高技术产业全要素生产率增长

基于DEA-Malmquist指数测算浙江省高技术产业全要素生产率,运用一阶差分模型和加权最小二乘法检验了R&D两面性、技术引进对浙江省高技术产业全要素生产率增长的影响。研究发现:1998-2012年,浙江省高技术产业全要素生产率整体低于全国平均水平,处于负增长状态;R&D创新能力对浙江省高技术产业全要素生产率促进作用不显著,而R&D吸收能力和技术引进抑制作用显著,其吸收能力未能与技术引进互为补充共同促进浙江省高技术产业全要素生产率增长。研究结果表明:以中小型高技术企业为主的浙江省高技术产业急需全面推进创新驱动发展战略,继续以自主R&D为主、技术引进为辅,持续加大R&D投入,增强R&D创新能力和吸收能力。     

金融介入的政产学研用技术协同创新模式构建研究

技术创新需要企业、大学、研究机构、政府和用户等多个创新主体的共同参与才能实现。基于技术创新过程的链环模型以及当前以企业为主体、产学研结合的技术创新体系建设存在的问题,探索性构建了金融介入的政产学研用技术创新协同模式,分析了政府、企业、大学、科研机构、用户的金融角色和作用,阐述了该技术创新协同模式的运行原理,以及在金融、政府和用户三方联动作用下金融介入产学研技术协同创新实现机制,可以解决产学研利益协调和风险机制问题。     

网络信息传播与电商企业的声誉管理

声誉是组织的一项无形资产,对于组织可持续竞争优势的形成至关重要。电商企业由于其运营方式的独特性,网络媒体上声誉信息的传播对其声誉有着不可忽视的作用,使得电商企业声誉的管理方式与传统企业相比大不相同。将信号理论及认知理论与组织声誉的影响因素整合后发现,企业声誉危机信息的传播遵循一定的路径。电商企业要想保护其声誉,必须从声誉危机信息在网络媒体中的信息传播路径入手,通过对声誉危机信息传播路径中关键环节的控制实现企业声誉危机的事前管理。     

并购类型会影响中国企业技术并购绩效吗

有学者发现技术相关及互补程度对技术并购绩效影响显著,这是否意味着并购类型会影响中国企业技术并购绩效呢？利用2006-2015年中国企业219起技术并购相关数据,通过实证分析及稳健性检验发现,横向技术并购对企业并购绩效具有抑制作用,纵向技术并购对企业并购绩效具有促进作用,混合技术并购对企业并购绩效影响不显著。因此,中国企业在横向并购前应当储备足够资金,充分调动研发人员并购后的积极性,提高并购后自主研发效率;中国企业并购应优先选择与自身技术互补的企业,通过协同创新提高绩效;中国企业在混合技术并购时需要提前熟悉被并企业的技术知识,并购后尽力避免被并企业人才流失。     

The Lasting Effects of an Introductory Economics Course: An Exploratory Study

The author advocates the application of experiential learning in economics courses at the tertiary level. The author evaluates a range of learning methods, both passive and active, in a student survey that provides data on under-graduate attitudes to various class activities. The results indicate a clear student preference for learning activities in economics that can be described as experiential. Analysis of reported student preferences also detects differences according to gender and day or evening class attendance.     

The Michigan Circuit Breaker and its Impact on the Incidence of the Property Tax

A bstract . In the absence of any program of property tax relief , the relationship between homestead property values and household incomes in Michigan introduces an inherent bias towards regressivity into the property tax. Analysis of a sample of 15,620 owner-occupied households showed a tax relief program, called the Michigan Circuit Breaker , and in particular the special relief afforded to taxpayers 65 and over ( senior citizens ), to be highly effective in reducing this inherent regressivity in the tax. As a result of the circuit breaker, this tendency towards regressivity in the property tax is effectively offset to the extent of producing near proportionality in the incidence of the tax as applied to owner-occupied housing.     

An economic analysis of matrix structure,using multinational corporations as an illustration

This paper applies a comparative institutional perspective to the organizational design called matrix structure. After discussing the motivations for a multidimensional form of organization, the paper compares the transaction cost characteristics of the matrix (MX-form) structure with those of the well-known multidivisional (M-form) structure. This analysis reveals three advantages and three disadvantages of the matrix structure as well as two conditions affecting the efficacy of a matrix. Examples from multinational corporations are used throughout the paper to illustrate the analysis. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
