Costly Information Disclosure in Oligopoly

We examine the effect of competition on the incentive of firms to disclose quality to consumers before trade when information disclosure is not costless. We demonstrate that no firm will disclose information in the limit, no matter how small the disclosure cost is; that is, the market outcome converges to complete concealment of information as the number of competing firms becomes larger. Nonetheless, it can be shown that under a mild condition, the equilibrium amount of information disclosure is socially excessive for any number of firms, so discouraging information disclosure by levying a tax may increase social welfare.

The saving–investment correlation puzzle is still a puzzle

A number of simulation studies claim to have solved the Feldstein–Horioka puzzle by demonstrating that a high time-series correlation between saving and investment naturally arises from business cycle shocks. This paper uses panel data of saving and investment controlled for business cycle shocks to empirically test the significance of cyclical shocks — productivity, fiscal and the terms of trade shocks — in explaining a high saving–investment correlation. The estimation results reveal that conventional aggregate shocks only partially explain the high saving–investment correlation. Moreover, country differences in the size of the GNP and the non-traded sector do not significantly affect the saving–investment correlation. The saving–investment correlation puzzle remains a puzzle after all.     

非财务指标在民营企业业绩评价中的应用

民营企业的业绩评价具有辅助决策和自我诊断的功能。在民营企业面临进一步发展的今天,研究民营企业的业绩评价有一定的现实意义。当前我国对民营企业的业绩评价的依据主要是通过各项指标的测评,其中,绝大部分为财务指标。在市场经济条件下,仅靠财务指标来衡量一个企业,是不能全面反映出企业的现有实力和综合发展潜力的。因此,非财务指标与财务指标在民营企业的业绩评价中具有同等重要的作用。     

新时期中国-伊朗跨国投资领域及实施初探

中国加入WTO后,面临着国内产业结构升级换代和企业海外发展的现实抉择.考虑到中国在能源、交通、机电、轻工、水力水电、大坝、机械等方面有明显的比较优势以及伊朗在传统手工地毯、开心果栽培等方面拥有的独特技术优势,积极开展新时期中国-伊朗跨国投资便成为中-伊两国的自然选择.从跨国投资理论、产业结构演变理论、区域规划理论等角度来分析新时期中伊两国间开展跨国投资的领域、投资方式和投资战略设计,并提出相应对策,更能有效地推动两国日益紧密的经贸联系进入新阶段.     

Relationship of Planning and Control Systems with Strategic Choices: A Closer Look

The study finds that relative to others, firms pursuing the Prospector-like strategy (high innovation) have lower financial results uncertainty, a more long-term orientation for decision making, and more decentralized control. As well, the tightness of budgetary control is found to be negatively correlated with financial results uncertainty. Thus, we are able to reproduce in our study the result that Prospector type firms have tighter budgetary control, which many have found puzzling previously, and point to the relation between strategy and financial results uncertainty as an explanation for the result.Based on a sample of large firms in Singapore, the study also finds the impact of the 1997–1998 Asian crisis is correlated with the intensity with which the Prospector-like strategy was pursued.     

东北亚能源合作的期待效果与中国的作用

20世纪80、90年代一度稳定的国际石油价格,自2004年起呈上升趋势,维持了历史上最高纪录。国际油价以迪拜油为基准,2003年每桶平均26.8美元,而2004年高达33.64美元,比上年增长25.6%,直至2005年第三季度为止平均价格比2004年增长了64.8%。国际油价的暴涨源于中东产油国的动荡不安,储蓄及美元贬值而引起的投机资金大量地流入世界石油市场及由台风引起的美国石油设施的破坏等因素。固然存在这些原因,但是,最根本的原因还在于世界石油市场供给不足,即目前世界石油生产及炼油能力还属于停滞阶段,但对石油的需要却在暴涨。这种供给不足的情况短期内…     

西汉初期“与民休息”政策述论

西汉初期是我国农业经济迅速恢复并达到空前繁荣的时期,这与西汉初期统治集团采取了比较符合实际的"与民休息"的经济政策紧密相关。其时代背景主要是鉴于秦朝实行严刑峻法、横征暴敛政策而亡的历史教训,以及汉初经济崩溃、民生凋敝的实际状况。"与民休息"政策内容丰富,主要包括调整土地关系、赋予军功贵族免役特权、免部分官私奴婢为庶人、减免田税口算徭戍、崇尚节俭和轻刑慎罚等六个方面。"与民休息"的经济政策,将为我们今天解决"三农"问题,发展农业经济,建设社会主义新农村提供有益的借鉴。
