New product introduction with costly search

In the usual model of product market search, a low search cost can turn out to have detrimental incentives on new product introduction as the low search cost erodes firms’ market power, attenuating the profit from innovation. This paper studies a model of monopolistic competition with costly search, where the point of departure is that of a fixed cost of initiating search. In this environment, a low search cost could turn out to be favorable to innovation. At a low search cost, more consumers may decide to start searching, possibly resulting in higher profits for firms in the larger market, despite the erosion of market power.

编制部门政府采购预算应注意的几个问趣

我省省级部门政府采购预算的编制，从2004年开始部门政府采购预算与部门预算就实行了“五个统一”。即统一布置、统一编制、统一审核、统一汇总、统一批复。从2005年、2006年省级部门政府采购预算编制．审核情况看，与以往年度相比有了一个质的飞跃，由过去与部门预算滞后编制，实现了同步编制，百分之八十以上的部门和百分之八十的项．目都能够按照要求编制政府采购预算。但从审核的情况看，在编制政府采购预算的过程中仍存在这样或那样的问题，亟待在编制以后年度政府采购预算时得到解决。[编者按]

China＇s Trade Acceleration and the Deepening of an East Asian Regional Production Network

China＇s recent surge in trade has been associated with its deepening but contrasting trade relations with its two groups of key trading partners. On the one hand, China＇ s trade surpluses with the USA and the EU have risen rapidly, reaching US$144bn and US$91bn in 2006, respectively. On the other hand, China is importing heavily from its Asian neighbors. This diverging pattern of trade relations between China and its main trading partners reflects the continuous expansion and intensification of a complex cross-border production network in Asia, particularly for consumer electronics. In the process of deepening manufacturing sharing, China serves as an essential export platform for firms headquartered in the more advanced economies. These firms export intermediate goods from the relatively more advanced Asian economies to their affiliates in China where these inputs are assembled and then shipped to key export markets, including primarily the USA and the EU. One apparent outcome of the growing processing and assembly trade is the increased interdependency among Asian economies, which are now more dependent on each other than ever. It has also led to substantial structural changes and technological upgrading in China＇ s traded goods.
