新时期对大学生进行爱国主义教育的路径选择

爱国主义教育是教育领域永恒的主题,坚持以校园文化活动为载体对大学生进行爱国主义教育,是行之有效的教育途径。针对青年学生的心理特点,采用寓教于乐方式,将爱国主义教育融入丰富多彩的校园文化活动之中。对大学生进行爱国主义教育路径选择时应注意以下三方面:首先,爱国主义教育活动的立意设计。其次,显性与隐性教育活动并举。最后,从大教育着眼,从小教育着手。     

论我国MBO公允定价机制的构建

尽管中西方都存在MBO,但背景和具体操作过程却完全不同。目前,我国MBO的定价方式存在着许多缺陷,如定价透明度差、定价动机异化、净资产定价法极不合理等。应对净资产定价法、特别委员会制度、公开竞价机制、管理层贡献补偿和无尴尬条款等问题进行深入的探讨,搭建以合理的估价方式为基础、相当的主体对垒为格局、充分的市场竞争为主体、适当的贡献补偿为特点、并辅以事后补救措施的MBO公允定价机制。     

Revisiting purchasing power parity in G6 countries: an application of smooth time-varying cointegration approach

This study revisits purchasing power parity (PPP) for the G6 countries (i.e., Canada, Italy, Japan, France, Germany, the UK) using smooth time-varying cointegrating approach, proposed by Park and Hahn (Econom Theory 15:664–703, 1999). Using monthly data over the 1971M1–2013M12 period, our empirical results indicate that PPP holds in two out of six countries (i.e., France and Germany).     

Tax policy endogeneity: evidence from R&D tax credits

This paper estimates the causal effect of research and development (R&D) tax incentives on R&D expenditures using new data on U.S. states. Identifying tax variation comes from changes in federal corporate tax laws that heterogeneously and, due to the simultaneity of state and federal corporate taxes, automatically affect state-level tax laws. Instrumental variables regressions indicate that a 1% increase in R&D tax incentives causes a statistically significant 2.8–3.8% increase in R&D. Alternatively, ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions of R&D expenditures on R&D tax incentives, which do not correct for the policy endogeneity of R&D tax incentives, indicate that a 1% increase in R&D tax incentives causes a statistically insignificant 0.4–0.7% increase in R&D. One possible explanation for these results is that tax policies are implemented before an economic downturn.     

Socioemotional Wealth and Innovativeness in Small‐ and Medium‐Sized Family Enterprises: A Configuration Approach

What makes small‐ and medium‐sized family firms (family SMEs) innovative? Some family firm dynamics promote, yet others hinder innovation. It remains unclear whether combinations of family firm dynamics increase innovativeness. Our configurational perspective of socioemotional wealth (SEW) unravels determinants of family SMEs' innovativeness. We conduct a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis with 452 Swiss family SMEs. We categorize SEW dimensions into configurations of necessary and sufficient conditions. We contribute to theory on family SMEs' innovativeness because we reveal that the interplay of SEW dimensions leads to innovativeness. This offers practitioners a better framework to choose between SEW configurations.     

外部合作与中小企业创新绩效—基于企业家导向及合作经验的调节效应检验

基于外部合作伙伴的差异,将外部合作划分为企业间合作和产学研合作两类,分别探究它们对中小企业创新绩效的影响,并考察企业家导向和合作经验在该过程中的权变机制.采用层次回归分析法对214家中小型制造业企业的问卷调查数据进行实证分析,研究发现:企业间合作和产学研合作对中小企业创新绩效均有显著的正向影响,且相对于产学研合作,企业间合作对中小企业创新绩效的影响更大;企业家导向在企业间合作和产学研合作与中小企业创新绩效间均起到正向调节作用;合作经验仅在企业间合作与中小企业创新绩效间起到正向调节作用.     

政府性基金收入预决算偏离问题研究

我国政府性基金预算收入长期存在系统性的预决算偏离问题,这会导致政府预算的法治性、规范性、科学性以及约束力大打折扣.因此,要加大对政府性基金收入预决算偏离度的研究,分析其产生的原因并提出治理之策.利用2010-2017年我国31个省级地方政府的面板数据,实证分析了政府性基金收入预决算的偏离度及其成因.研究发现,我国地方政府性基金预算存在系统性超收问题;地方政府官员在政治晋升激励下追求GDP高速增长,并策略性地低估GDP预期增长目标,这为政府性基金预算超收打下了经济基础;地方政府的机会主义动机和策略性行为是政府性基金收入预决算偏离过大的深层次体制成因.因此,在提高对政府性基金预算管理重视程度的同时,既要从预算技术层面入手提升预算管理水平,更要从根本上改变对地方政府官员的激励与约束机制,从而彻底解决政府性基金收入预决算偏离过大的问题.     

Environmental performance,corruption and economic growth: global evidence using a new data set

This study investigates the relationship between environmental performance, corruption and economic growth using panel data of 87 countries covering the period from 2002 to 2012. The Environmental Performance Index is used for the first time to evaluate the environmental quality on economic growth. By employing both ‘static’ and ‘dynamic’ panel models, we find that environmental performance is positively related to economic growth and is more significant in non-Organization for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD) countries. Moreover, when corruption is incorporated, the empirical estimation results indicate that although lower corruption helps economic growth in non-OECD countries, the negative coefficients of the three interactive terms show that the positive effect of environment performance on economic growth will drop, while greater environmental performance combined with natural resource abundance inevitably leads to inefficient bureaucracies and hence disadvantageous economic growth. As a result, policymakers in non-OECD countries should carefully ensure better government quality when they exhibit strong environmental performance so as to avoid any disadvantageous impact upon economic growth.     

Getting to Know You: Trust Formation in New Interfirm Relationships and the Consequences for Investments in Management Control and the Collaboration

Trust is often posited to substitute for management control in interfirm transactions. However, this raises questions of how trust arises in new relationships, and whether trust that is not based on prior experience transacting together is sufficient to persuade managers to forgo investments in management controls. We use an experiment to test whether two features of the early stage of an interfirm relationship influence a buyer's initial trust in a supplier and have consequences for subsequent investments in management controls and in the collaboration. These two features are the autonomy of the buyer's manager to choose a supplier (i.e., delegation of decision‐making authority) and the supplier's willingness to share information with the buyer. We find that the buyer manager's initial trust in the supplier is associated positively with both the autonomy to choose the supplier and the supplier's willingness to share information. Information content and supplier characteristics are held constant, so these results are novel and distinct from prior studies of the antecedents of trust. We find that higher initial trust is associated with reduced expenditures for management controls and increased investments in the collaboration. Thus, we conclude that delegation of decision‐making authority and supplier information‐sharing behavior in the early stages of a relationship influence the formation of initial trust, which has real consequences for investments in management control and in the collaboration.
