AHP在生产企业构建电子废弃物逆向物流体系中的应用

电子废弃物逆向物流指电子产品从消费者返回到生产者的物流过程。随着经济的发展,中国电子废弃物数量急剧上升,并对生态环境造成巨大的破坏。同时,电子废弃物逆向物流的实施可以带来巨大的经济效益。此外,发达国家封电子废弃物的规制政策对中国电子产品生产企业产生了极大影响。在上述背景下,探讨生产企业如何构建电子废弃物逆向物流系统,进行相关指标分析及通过层次分析法作出模式选择有着重要的现实意义。     

长期股权投资权益法核算下会计与税法的差异

由于我国实行的是税会分离模式,因此税法上在确定应纳税所得额和会计在确认利润的时候,二者之间必然有很多的差异,既有永久性的差异也有时间性的差异,长期股权投资权益法导致的差异比较难以把握,因为当会计对长期股权投资采用权益法核算的情况下从取得长期股权投资到最后的处置每一个环节都存在会计处理和税法规定不相一致的地方。     

Going Public and the Enrichment of a Supportive Network

Past research on initial public offerings suggests that the reputation of a company positively affects the success of the offering. Success is usually measured in financial terms as if the essence of the operation lay only in the short-term inflow of money. In this paper, we investigate important albeit often neglected implications of going public by combining evidence from a series of preliminary case studies taken from the results of a survey of 57 Italian initial public offerings. Evidence from our research suggests that, besides providing an important inflow of capital, going public may actually improve the reputational and social capital of a company, by increasing its visibility, prestige and perceived trustworthiness. Therefore, going public may be an important way to support entrepreneurial activity, as it may expand and reinforce the network of relationships that offer access to external resources, complementary skills and investment opportunities.     

Appropriate technology in a Solovian nonlinear growth model

We propose a Solovian growth model with a convex–concaveproduction function and international technological spillovers.We test the empirical implications of the model, analysing theeffects of the productivity slowdown that followed the oil shocksof the 1970s. We argue that this slowdown, altering the worldincome distribution, affected the pattern of international technologicalspillovers, taking the poorest countries further away from thetechnological leaders, and therefore unable to exploit theirtechnologies. The result is the emergence of a poverty trapfor low-income countries.     

The surprising benefits of a parallel universe

Suppose that the successful completion of a project requires performing n tasks, each of which has a probability of success p. The paper establishes under what conditions it may be profitable to engage in parallel multi‐tasking, i.e. tackling each task by following two independent routes. It is found that for ?n>1 parallel multi‐tasking is profitable for a wide range of parameters when costs are linear and is always profitable for convex costs.

Fiscal shocks and real exchange rate dynamics: Some evidence for Latin America

This paper analyses the effects of fiscal shocks in selected Latin American countries using a two-country model for output, labour input, government spending and relative prices. Dynamic simulation techniques are then applied, in particular to shed light on the possible effects of fiscal imbalances on the real exchange rate. Using quarterly data over the period 1980-2006, we find that in a majority of cases fiscal shocks are the main driving force of real exchange rate fluctuations.
