Digital sport entrepreneurial ecosystems

The entrepreneurial ecosystems literature has increasingly explored network relationships between different stakeholders, as well as the role of context. This article addresses the challenge of including a sport context in the entrepreneurial ecosystem literature thereby contributing to the sport entrepreneurship literature by bringing insights from entrepreneurship ecosystem research. In‐depth interviews of football stakeholders in the sport entrepreneurship ecosystem are conducted in terms of understanding the emergence of digital sport start‐ups. The issues raised help explore the changing nature of digital entrepreneurial ecosystems to take into account new sport technological advances. Mixed embeddedness theory is used as the conceptual foundation to understand sport digital entrepreneurial ecosystems. Key management practices are identified in terms of sport start‐ups participating in entrepreneurial ecosystems. The article concludes by making suggestions for future research.

Nursing home choice,family bargaining,and optimal policy in a Hotelling economy

We develop a model of family bargaining to study the impact of the distribution of bargaining power within the family on the choice of nursing homes by families, and on the locations and prices chosen by nursing homes in a Hotelling economy. In the baseline (static) model, where the dependent parent cares only about the location of the nursing home, the markup of nursing homes is increasing in the bargaining power of the dependent parent, and nursing homes are located at the extreme periphery. We compare the laissez‐faire with the social optimum (which involves more central locations of nursing homes), and examine its decentralization in first‐best and second‐best settings. We explore the robustness of our results to introducing a bequest motive in a dynamic overlapping generations model, which allows us to study the joint dynamics of wealth accumulation and nursing home prices. If the bequest motive is strong, the markup is decreasing in the bargaining power of the dependent. However, wealth accumulation, by reducing interest rates, raises markup rates and nursing homes prices.     

Land outsourcing and labour contracting: Labour management in China's capitalist farms

Difficulty in labour supervision has been considered to be one of the obstacles to the development of capitalist agriculture. This paper presents two distinctive labour management strategies in China's large‐scale agriculture, which contribute to the development of agrarian capitalism in China. As shown in these cases, agribusiness companies engaged in grain crop production retreat from direct labour management by outsourcing crop cultivation, while acquiring profits from upstream and downstream activities. On the other hand, capitalist producers, who are involved in the labour‐intensive and capital‐intensive crop production, tend to mobilize local elites to manage the farmworkers. Although independent labour contracting services have not emerged, a specialized group of labour contractors is being cultivated. Rural social resources are utilized in labour recruitment and supervision to minimize the labour management costs in both strategies. However, the conflicts between capital and labour are covered or replaced instead of being settled.     

家庭代际经济支持存在邻里效应吗?

基于2016年中国家庭追踪调查数据(CFPS),文章识别了家庭代际经济支持中的邻里效应,并对相关影响机制进行了检验。估计结果表明:在控制子女、父母等一系列特征变量后,社区邻里效应对家庭代际经济支持具有显著的正向影响。进一步分析表明,这种影响因家庭所在区域存在明显差异,表现为社区邻里效应对农村家庭代际经济支持的影响明显大于城镇家庭。此外,研究还发现:社区邻里效应对多子女家庭代际经济支持的影响明显大于独生子女家庭,对男孩家庭代际经济支持的作用显著大于女孩家庭和既有男孩又有女孩的家庭。最后,机制检验表明:在社区内部,子女追求社会地位,希望赢得他人尊重是社区邻里效应发挥作用的重要机制。文章从社区内部不同家庭互动角度解释家庭代际支持行为,为理解近年来我国不断增加的家庭代际经济支持现象提供了一个新的视角。     

基于整体性治理的农村公共服务供给机制研究——以社会影响力债券为例

我国农村的公共服务供给在政治维度、社会维度、经济维度上呈现碎片化状态,具体体现为行政权力划分不明晰、治理主体单一且主体间缺乏互补协同、社会资本参与不足,碎片化特征严重制约着农村公共服务的持续发展,导致其供给水平无法满足农村日益多样化的社会需求。面对农村公共服务领域的供需张力,在整体性治理理念下,以社会影响力债券作为创新农村公共服务供给机制的基础,该机制通过协调层级政府部门间的权责配置,整合多元治理主体的资源优势,拓宽农村公共服务项目的资金渠道,从而解决农村公共服务供给的碎片化问题,实现农村公共服务整体水平的提升。

金融产业集聚对制造业转型升级的影响研究——基于省际面板数据的中介效应检验

本文运用中国2013—2016年的省际面板数据,引入社会融资规模、R&D经费投入两个中介变量,构建中介效应模型来考察金融产业集聚对制造业转型升级的直接效应和间接效应。研究结果表明,金融产业集聚不仅对制造业转型升级起到直接促进效应,而且分别通过以下两种路径方式对制造业转型升级产生一定的正向促进效应,即“金融产业集聚→社会融资规模增量→制造业转型升级”和“金融产业集聚→社会融资规模增量→R&D投入→制造业转型升级”。因此,进一步汇聚金融产业资源、扩大资本规模、支持科技创新,将有效促进中国制造业转型升级。     

声誉在企业社会责任与绩效之间的作用——以商誉作为声誉度量方式的讨论

作为企业社会责任影响绩效的一个重要途径,声誉对于企业社会责任的研究具有重要意义。目前,在实证研究中声誉没有一致认可的度量方法。本文以商誉作为声誉的度量方式,采用上市公司2012—2017年的平衡面板数据,对企业社会责任与绩效的关系进行了实证研究,并进一步讨论了声誉在企业社会责任与绩效之间的作用。研究显示:当以商誉作为企业声誉的度量指标时,企业社会责任正向影响企业的声誉;在企业社会责任影响绩效的过程中,声誉没有起到调节作用,但起到了显著的中介效应。因此,企业主动承担社会责任,不仅可以造福于社会,还能提高自身绩效。
