Testing the impact of predefined and self-defined end anchors on the linearity of the category rating scale

In this research the impact of two types of end anchors on the linearity of the category rating scale is studied. Two functional measurement experiments were carried out, each requiring a different kind of judgement, i.e., job satisfaction ratings and attractiveness ratings. One group of participants rated the stimuli using a category rating scale with fixed anchors, while another group was presented with a self-anchoring category rating scale. The results indicate that researchers can be confident in the ability of both category rating scales to provide linear data. This implies that the different end anchors do not impact on the linearity of the category rating scale.     

基于专家问卷调查视角的消耗性林木资产会计信息披露

消耗性林木资产是森林资源资产经营主体所拥有或控制的重要资产,消耗性林木资产的会计信息披露状况对于信息需求者的决策十分重要。文章首先对林木资产会计信息披露的相关文献进行回顾;在此基础上,根据问卷调查所获得的第一手资料,重点分析了专家学者对消耗性林木资产会计信息披露的看法,并形成如下结论:应在资产负债表中分类列示\"消耗性林木资产\"等不同的林木资产项目;正表披露与报表附注披露相结合是林木资产信息披露的最佳方式;经营主体应重点披露林木资产的实物量与价值量、实物量与价值量的增减变化和林木资产的类别等信息;应根据实际需要,通过克服技术难题、提高人员素质和降低信息披露成本等途径,解决当前信息披露中的问题,并尽可能地披露充分可靠的信息。     

国外支持农村一二三产业融合发展的政策启示

我国出台的农村一二三产业融合发展支持政策在营造产业融合环境、调动融合主体积极性、激发产业融合路径创新和健全完善利益联结机制等方面发挥了重要作用,但也存在政策针对性不强、覆盖面偏窄、与融合主体政策需求有偏差等问题.而部分农业发达国家在农村一二三产业融合长期实践中业已形成了一些较为成熟的模式和政策支持经验.鉴于此,文章从财政、金融、税收、公共服务等方面对国外支持农村一二三产业融合发展的政策经验进行考察分析,以期为健全完善我国推进农村一二三产业融合发展的支持政策提供有益思考.

成长冲动与风险对冲:经济政策不确定性如何影响企业海外并购

本文扎根于中国转型经济背景,提出了在经济政策不确定性影响下企业海外并购的两大动因,即成长冲动和风险对冲.同时认为:经济政策不确定性使得企业内生有机成长方式、外在本土并购扩张方式受到了阻碍;企业面临着因融资成本、非经营性成本增加带来的风险;此时,海外并购便成为企业的最佳策略.本文以2008-2018年中国沪深两市A股上市公司为样本,实证检验了上述影响机制.研究结果显示:经济政策不确定性较高时,在成长冲动和风险对冲的驱动下,企业倾向于使用海外并购来替代本土并购,且这种替代作用在非国有企业中更为明显.机制检验表明:成长冲动强烈、融资成本和非经营性成本较高、风险承担能力弱的企业更倾向于采取海外并购策略,以规避经济政策不确定性的影响.     

Seeking External Evidence to Assess Benefit Transfers for Environmental Policy

The cost and time required to produce original benefit estimates makes benefit transfers a highly valuable component of the process of assessing the benefits and costs of environmental improvements. Because of the great variety of benefit estimates, conducted at different times with different data sources and different techniques, there is concerted effort to understand the validity of transfers. The research in this paper approaches the validity issue of benefit transfers by asking whether there is indirect evidence of the benefits. The premise of the paper is that policies that give significant benefits should induce expected and unexpected behavioral changes. We look for evidence of potential indirect evidence by by estimating the effect of differences air pollutants on activities such as outdoor recreation and work, as found in the American Time Use Survey.     

克鲁格曼真的错了吗?-对《中心-外围模型的错误和再求解》的质疑

我们认为,《中心—外围模型的错误和再求解》一文的作者没有能认识到克鲁格曼CP模型所赖以存在的不完全竞争模型的建模传统和技巧,从而在此基础上展开了对CP模型的错误质疑;作者采用角点均衡求解方法对CP模型进行再求解值得尝试,但这样处理的后果是使得克鲁格曼CP模型中所刻画的空间经济结构的演化机制变得模糊和不清晰。特别的,作者在很多方面没有能把握住CP模型的本意而产生的误解,以及套用现实情境来对理想化的模型进行吹毛求疵的批评,无论如何都是不能令人接受的。尽管克鲁格曼CP模型确有不尽完善之处,但我们更应看到其所产生的深远影响和贡献,从而沿着正确的方向去丰富和发展新经济地理学。     

China’s house price: Affected by economic fundamentals or real estate policy?

Many theory and empirical literature conclude that house price can reflect economic fundamentals in the long-term. However, by using China’s panel data of 35 main cities stretching from 1998 to 2007, we find that there is no stable relationship between house price and economic fundamentals. House price has deviated upward from the economic fundamentals since government started macro-control of the real estate market. We consider that the mechanism between the house price and economic fundamentals is distorted by China’s real estate policy, especially its land policy. Meanwhile the policy itself is an important factor in explaining the changes of China’s house price. Then we estimate the dynamic panel data model on house price and the variables which are controlled by real estate policy. The result shows: land supply has negative effects on house price; financial mortgages for real estate have positive effects on house price; and the area of housing sold and the area of vacant housing, which reflects the supply and demand of the housing market, has negative effects on house price. We also find some differences in house price influence factor between eastern and mid-western cities. Finally, we propose policy suggestions according to the empirical results.
