七大城市群创新能力的区域差距及其分布动态演进

研究目标：京津冀、长三角、珠三角、长江中游、成渝、中原以及哈长城市群创新能力的区域差距及其时空动态演进。研究方法：运用Dagum基尼系数、Kernel密度估计、空间Markov链进行实证研究。研究发现：七大城市群创新能力空间差距呈缩小趋势但依然显著,区域间差距是总体差距的主要来源;其创新能力分布呈不同的极化现象与趋势;其创新能力发展具有显著的空间依赖性,邻域创新环境的优劣对周边城市创新水平的向上转移产生非同步、差异化影响。研究创新：挖掘七大城市群创新能力区域差距来源,并通过科学揭示其时空演变规律为城市群创新差距提供空间解释。研究价值：对缩小城市群创新能力区域差距,构建创新驱动的区域经济发展支撑点具有重要的理论和现实意义。     

HRBP模式实施有效性及其影响因素研究

伴随互联网+的发展,组织业务趋于多元化,为满足管理的需要,传统的人力资源管理方式也在向HRBP模式转变.本文从HRM满意度、组织绩效以及组织生命力三个层面界定HRBP模式实施有效性,深入分析HRBP模式实施有效性的影响因素,包括组织氛围、管理过程、领导风格、员工文化价值观以及HRBP素质,并借助于SPSS软件验证了各影响因素与HRBP模式实施有效性之间的显著性关系以及管理过程的中介作用.最后从组织、部门以及个人三个角度提出管理对策,致力于推动HRBP模式本土化实施进程,提高组织HRBP模式实施有效性,真正发挥人力资源管理的战略价值.     

Accounting Research in Abacus,A&F,AAR, and AJM from 2008–2015: A Review and Research Agenda

This paper uses bibliographic mapping techniques to map the research conversation in four Pacific Basin accounting journals listed on the Social Sciences Citation Index (Abacus, Accounting and Finance, Australian Accounting Review, and the Australian Journal of Management). We identify the main research streams in these journals as Accounting Standards, Environmental Accounting, Earnings Management, Disclosure, Conservatism, Auditing, Impairment, Cost of Capital, and Corporate Governance. We critically review each research stream, identify emerging research trends, and suggest an agenda for future research on accounting in the Pacific Basin.     

The Role of U.S. Market on International Risk‐Return Tradeoff Relations

We study the intertemporal risk‐return tradeoff relations based on returns from 18 international markets. We find striking new empirical evidence that the inclusion of U.S. market returns significantly changes the estimated risk‐return tradeoff relations in international markets from mostly negative to predominantly positive. Our results are consistent with the lead‐lag effect between U.S. and international markets in the sense of Rapach, Strauss and Zhou.     

Political Connections and Government Subsidies: Evidence from Financially Distressed Firms in China

Previous studies report mixed evidence regarding the effect of political connections on firm value. We seek new evidence in China, an important emerging market with a hallmark of a relationship-based economy. Using financially distressed firms (special treatment or ST firms) as a unique sample, we identify a direct channel through which political connections enhance firm value by showing that politically connected firms receive more government subsidies. Moreover, such effect becomes stronger for state-owned enterprises (SOEs), for firms with a better chance of survival, and after the government implemented a new policy to more strictly enforce the delisting in 2012.     

中国旅游IA-ICOR-EG的测度及其关系研究

构建旅游投资集聚(IA)、投资效率(ICOR)和旅游经济差距(EG)理论模型,采用J-B熵指数、增量资本产出比、变异系数和联立方程模型测定和检验了三者的发展态势及其之间的关系。结果显示,旅游投资总集聚程度呈上升趋势,区域内高投资集聚度是主推力。旅游经济差距呈收敛态势,其中西部地区差距是造成全国总体差距的重要原因。旅游投资效率处于稳步提升中,且东中部地区高于西部地区。旅游投资集聚、投资效率与旅游经济差距具有明显的地区非均衡性,旅游投资集聚与投资效率还未形成良性互动关系。     

我国区域物流发展时空差异及收敛性研究——基于地理加权空间计量模型的实证分析

本文在对我国各省区2010～2014年的物流发展状况进行统计描述的基础上,先后构建线性回归方程和地理加权空间计量模型,最终选用模型显著性较高的地理加权空间计量模型分析我国省区物流发展水平的收敛性。发现我国区域物流发展水平虽然整体上呈现出收敛的趋势,但是空间差异较突出;另外,我国物流发展水平平均收敛速度在空间上具有明显的聚集效应,平均收敛速度呈现出明显的由西向东梯度递减的趋势。最后根据实证结果提出促进区域物流一体化的相关建议。     

FDI对区域经济增长、就业影响研究——基于丝绸之路经济带我国西北段省区

本文基于丝绸之路经济带我国西北段区域1985～2014年的时间序列数据,采用VAR模型分析FDI 、经济增长与就业三者之间的动态关系。结果表明：FDI是经济增长和就业的格兰杰原因, 但经济增长不是FDI的格兰杰原因;FDI对经济增长有明显的促进作用,对就业的促进作用不 明显,经济增长未明显带动FDI流入。丝绸之路经济带我国西北段区域应牢牢抓住“丝绸之 路经济带”战略机遇,因地制宜地制定符合科学发展的引资策略,优化投资环境以吸引跨国 公司进驻该区域,并鼓励企业加大对研发、设计等价值链高端的投资。     

FOREIGN ENTRY INTO U.S. SERVICE INDUSTRY BY TAKEOVERS AND THE CREATION OF NEW FIRMS

We study the relation between foreign entry in U.S. service sector industries and the revealed comparative advantage of the investing country using U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis firm‐level data on all foreign takeovers and new foreign‐owned firms from 1998 to 2008. We find foreign acquisitions in the service sector are in industries of U.S. comparative advantage while new foreign firms are in industries of investing country's comparative advantage. This suggests that foreign acquisitions in the service sector are not directly related to foreign investors' competitiveness in the industry of investment. In contrast foreign investors in new service sector firms come from countries with a competitive edge in the industries of investment. We also find that foreign investors of new service sector firms are from Organization for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) countries with a comparative disadvantage in royalties and trademarks.

Annual patient and caregiver burden of oncology clinic visits for granulocyte-colony stimulating factor therapy in the US

Objective:

Prophylactic treatment with granulocyte-colony stimulating factors (G-CSFs) is indicated for chemotherapy patients with a significant risk of febrile neutropenia. This study estimates the annual economic burden on patients and caregivers of clinic visits for prophylactic G-CSF injections in the US.

Methods:

Annual clinic visits for prophylactic G-CSF injections (all cancers) were estimated from national cancer incidence, chemotherapy treatment and G-CSF utilization data, and G-CSF sales and pricing information. Patient travel times, plus time spent in the clinic, were estimated from patient survey responses collected during a large prospective cohort study (the Prospective Study of the Relationship between Chemotherapy Dose Intensity and Mortality in Early-Stage (I–III) Breast Cancer Patients). Economic models were created to estimate travel costs, patient co-pays and the economic value of time spent by patients and caregivers in G-CSF clinic visits.

Results:

Estimated total clinic visits for prophylactic G-CSF injections in the US were 1.713 million for 2015. Mean (SD) travel time per visit was 62 (50) min; mean (SD) time in the clinic was 41 (68) min. Total annual time for travel to and from the clinic, plus time at the clinic, is estimated at 4.9 million hours, with patient and caregiver time valued at $91.8 million ($228 per patient). The estimated cumulative annual travel distance for G-CSF visits is 60.2 million miles, with a total transportation cost of $28.9 million ($72 per patient). Estimated patient co-pays were $61.1 million, ～$36 per visit, $152 per patient. The total yearly economic impact on patients and caregivers is $182 million, ～$450 per patient.

Limitations:

Data to support model parameters were limited. Study estimates are sensitive to the assumptions used.

Conclusions:

The burden of clinic visits for G-CSF therapy is a significant addition to the total economic burden borne by cancer patients and their families.
