2009：你可能忽视的十件大事

人类智慧地将时间分为每12个月一节,每逢节点,人们便心安理得地将痛苦和失败归在“去年”,从而一身轻松地盼望美好的“新年”。可时间本是一条没有节点的直线,种种问题也不会随着新年钟声消逝。回顾2009年,金融危机、阿富汗冲突、全球变暖……这些新闻占据了报纸头条,然而,也许更有意义的消息藏在你没有注意到的角落,被海量信息潮淹没。《外交政策》盘点了被忽视的十大新闻,它们去年默默无闻,却可能预示着今年的热点。

“嫌贫爱富”抑或“扶危济困”:农户民间放贷选择偏好研究

基于合约、借方和贷方三方面特征设计农户民间放贷离散选择实验,依据陕西、山东两省289户农户实验数据,构建效用相互依赖模型考察农户民间放贷选择偏好的内在机理,采用Mixed Logit模型探究农户选择偏好及其异质性来源。研究结果表明,农户民间放贷选择中经济理性与道义理性偏好并存。其中,经济理性体现为农户偏好向亲戚或信用水平较高的借方放贷,农户手头资金紧张时放贷意愿减弱;道义理性体现为农户偏好向经济情况比自己差、曾与自己有过互动经历且用途为生活性应急需求的借方放贷,农户拒贷有压力时放贷意愿增强。进一步研究发现,农户民间放贷选择偏好存在异质性,表现为受教育程度会强化放贷农户经济理性偏好,家庭收入会强化放贷农户道义理性偏好,风险偏好型放贷农户的道义理性偏好更弱,而山东省放贷农户的经济理性和道义理性偏好均高于陕西省。

解决好农业、农村、农民问题是实现全面建设小康社会的关键,也是构建和谐社会的重要内容。＂三农＂问题的核心是农民收入问题,在政府的努力下,农民人均实际收入在不断增长。但是,农民收入水平很低,城乡收入差距还在继续扩大,党和政府的领导多次在相关的工作报告中指出：＂解决好农业、农村、农民问题,仍然是全部工作的重中之重。＂     

Competition in Marketing： Survival Yardstick for Small and Medium Enterprises （SMEs） in Nigeria

The topic investigated competition in marketing as a survival yardstick for small and medium enterprises （SMEs） in Nigeria. The objectives addressed by this study were： （1） identifying different types and intensity of competition that SMEs are exposed to along the life-cycle portfolio in Nigeria; （2） quantifying the strength of SMEs vis-a-vis some foreign enterprises in terms of market competition; and （3） proffering solutions on how best they could match competitively these foreign enterprises. Relevant models and theories were employed in literature to evolve detailed analysis of issues relating to the variables used in terms of competition in marketing and survival of juice-producing SMEs. Two hypotheses were investigated through the survey of 20 prominent Ikeja based SMEs using Cluster sampling, 5-points Likert summated rating scale was adopted, while Yard＇s formula with 95% confidence level and 5% error tolerance was used. Alternative form validity of the instrument was measured at 0.63 while its reliability was measured at Cronbach＇s alpha of 0.70. Pearson＇s product-moment correlation was used in testing hypothesis 1 while standard multiple regressions were used to test hypothesis 2. Findings revealed that there was strong relationship between survival of juice-producing SMEs with forms of competition on a firm＇s life-cycle; while competition had positive effects on survival components for the enterprises. It was concluded that since competition subsists in any firm＇s life-cycle, strategies to support operations for survival must be adopted. It was recommended that operators of SMEs have to monitor and manage competition as it affects their businesses positively and/or negatively.
