Effects of Consumers’ Efforts on Price and Promotion Fairness Perceptions

This research examines how consumers’ efforts as a nonmonetary sacrifice influence their price and promotion fairness perceptions in the context of price promotions. Multiple studies using different price promotion tactics demonstrate that consumers’ perceived level of effort to obtain a reduced price negatively influences their fairness perceptions when they deny the promoted price. Exploring the underlying mechanisms of this effect, we show that the amount of effort consumers exert to obtain a promoted price leads to their feeling of deservingness and entitlement. When the promoted price is denied, this feeling of entitlement is violated, causing unfairness perceptions to occur. The research demonstrates that, in addition to retailers’ actions such as price changes, consumers’ actions, in the form of their effort input, are also an important determinant of fairness perceptions.     

Values,value types and moral reasoning of MBA students

This study uses the Schwartz Values Questionnaire and version 2 of the Defining Issues Test to investigate the values, value types (clusters of related values) and level of moral reasoning of a sample of 108 MBA students in a Canadian university. There are no statistically significant differences in the levels of moral reasoning attributed to gender. Male and female MBA students rank ‘family security’ and ‘healthy’ as their two most important values. For males, hedonism, achievement and self‐direction are the three most important value types, while for females they are benevolence, hedonism and security, respectively. There are statistically significant gender differences for the value types hedonism, achievement, stimulation and power. Overall, however, there are more similarities than differences between the male and the female students. Regression analysis indicates a statistically significant positive association between the postconventional level of moral reasoning as measured by P‐scores and the value‐type universalism. The findings provide further evidence that value types affect the postconventional level of moral reasoning.     

Implied and realized volatility: empirical model selection

The paper studies the nonparametric connection between realized and implied volatilities. No-arbitrage identities and comparison inequalities are found. We formulate the multi-factor trading system on the volatility scale. To empirically determine the number of factors, we develop a high frequency analysis for sequential F-testing. We also design a cross validated estimate of quadratic variation.     

Anonymity in Computer-Mediated Communication: More Contrarian Ideas with Less Influence

Anonymity is thought to be an important means for ensuring a free exchange of ideas by encouraging the expression of minority viewpoints. However, we suggest that anonymity’s reduction in awareness of others potentially affects the expression and interpretation of comments that are made during a discussion. In particular, anonymity will increase the likelihood that comments will be made that are contrary to the majority opinion while at the same time decreasing the effect that those contrary arguments have on other group member’s opinions. This paper reports experimental results showing that anonymity led to more overall participation in discussions of ethical scenarios. However, equality of member participation did not differ between anonymous and member-identified groups, and anonymous groups had significantly higher awareness-related comments. This leads to the conclusion that additional participation in anonymous groups accommodates reduced awareness rather than reflecting the increased participation of normally reticent group members. In addition, anonymity led to more arguments in support of questionable behavior, suggesting that the freeing effects of anonymity apply to the social desirability of arguments. Finally, there was less change in opinion under conditions of anonymity than when comments were identified, suggesting that anonymous arguments have less influence on opinions than identified comments.

影响我国排污权交易政策实施的环境主体利益分析

结合污染物的总量控制和排污许可证制度,我国已经进行了10多年的各类排污权交易试点工作。但是,排污权交易却至今未能形成一个全国统一的环境政策。本文根据新制度经济学的基本原理从环境空间主体利益、环境消费主体利益两个方面的分析表明,我国的排污权交易政策之所以至今未能在全国全面实施,主要是以利益为核心的一系到因素所促成的。     

关于加强城市商业银行战略重组的探讨

随着银行业竞争的加剧,加强城市商业银行的战略重组具有现实的必要性。为化解重组中的难点,城市商业银行应从战略全局出发协调各方利益冲突,坚持政府主导与市场引导相结合的原则适时推进城市商业银行的战略重组。     

加入WTO与民营企业的发展

从长远发展的角度看，加入WTO给民营企业的发展带来了新的发展契机；但从短期和局部来看，民营企业在其管理方式，技术能力，经营素质，营销理念等方面的相对落后，又将面临着入世后的严峻挑战。如何应对WTO，寻找民营企业生存发展的有效途径和对策，无疑具有战略性意义。     

市场分割的制度基础与概念内涵——基于组织社会学制度理论的视角

中国的市场分割是中国经济转型在特定阶段出现的一种市场结构或状态。从组织社会学制度理论的视角看中国市场分割可以发现:中国的市场分割存在着行为权力的分割现象,市场分割不仅源于制度和政策的差异,同时也有制度与政策执行中的差异。市场分割中的地区性行政垄断、地方保护主义行为及非整合状态,反映出现阶段的中国经济体制中存在的问题。
