This paper examines corruption in a random matching game where past actions are imperfectly observed and players have the option to continue trading with their existing partners. It shows that the effect of individual reputations for honesty may outweigh the effect of a bad collective reputation depending on the expected value of a continued match relative to the corruption gain. 相似文献

This article looks at two features of globalization, namely, productivity improvements and falling trade costs, and explores their effect on welfare in a monopolistic competition model with heterogenous firms and technological asymmetries. Contrary to received wisdom, and for reasons different from adverse terms of trade effects, it is shown that improvements in a partner's productivity must hurt us. Moreover, falling trade costs can raise welfare in the technologically advanced country while reducing it in the backward one, if technological asymmetries are large enough. 相似文献

Food production demands competencies in both natural science and management principles. The suggested framework includes the following areas of research: technological innovation, process design (including Industrial Cuisine), product development (including Molecular Gastronomy, Industrial Gastronomy and Functional Meal) and risk management (including quantitative risk assessment and predictive microbiology). Developments stemming from food science and engineering could be combined with studies in operations management, consumer psychology, cognitive psychology, sociology and economics. The paper concludes that in order to meet societal demands for health, sustainability and efficiency a radical shift is needed—from ‘low tech’ recipe development and proliferation of marketing concepts to ‘cutting edge’ technological innovation supported by advanced research in management and consumer studies. 相似文献

Using a spatial autoregressive model of cross‐sectional and panel data, we study the determinants and dominant strategies of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into Russia before and after the 1998 financial crisis. The important determinants of FDI inflows into Russian regions since the start of transition appear to be market size, the presence of large cities and sea ports, oil and gas availability, proximity to European market, and political and legislative risks. Since 1998, it appears the importance of big cities, the Sakhalin region, oil and gas resources, proximity to European markets, and legislation and political risks has increased. Our results also reveal a shift from horizontal FDI strategy to vertical FDI strategy in the post‐crisis period. Using a multiple spatial lags approach, we show that neighbouring port‐endowed regions tend to have emerged in the post‐crisis era as competitors for FDI. 相似文献

A class of stochastic unit-root bilinear processes, allowing for GARCH-type effects with asymmetries, is studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the strict and second-order stationarity of the error process are given. The strictly stationary solution is shown to be strongly mixing under mild additional assumptions. It follows that, in this model, the standard (non-stochastic) unit-root tests of Phillips–Perron and Dickey–Fuller are asymptotically valid to detect the presence of a (stochastic) unit-root. The finite sample properties of these tests are studied via Monte-Carlo experiments. 相似文献

This article considers the mutual influence of antitrust enforcement in the petroleum product markets and competition legislation in Russia. An analysis of infringement decisions by the Russian competition authority allows us to understand the perceived goals of economic policy in this sector. The shift from antitrust investigations and infringement decisions to a very specific set of remedies is explained by the desire to maintain low retail prices under increasing concentration without price subsidisation or promotion of entry at the refining stage of the value chain. The article highlights the specific use of antitrust legislation to maintain low fuel prices and support independent retailing companies. We also note the limitation this policy faces. The goals and effects of antitrust enforcement in the industry explain, in turn, the specific path of competition legislation development in Russia. 相似文献

Prior studies document that national culture traits are systematically related to cash holdings and attribute this to managerial cultural predispositions. However, it is possible that these preferences reflect investors’ cultural preferences and that managers are simply catering to investors’ preferences. It is also not clear whether the cash holding effects previously documented are value maximizing. By examining the impact of national culture traits on cash valuation, we are able to provide insight into these questions. Specifically, we examine the effect of three national culture traits – individualism, uncertainty avoidance and long‐term orientation – on firm cash valuation. Our results suggest that the previously observed effects of cultural traits on cash holdings and attributed to managerial cultural biases do not reflect investors’ preferences and are not value maximizing. 相似文献

Leadership has become a more popular term than management, even though it is understood that both phenomena represent important
organizational behaviors. This paper focuses on empathy in leadership, and presents the findings of a study conducted among
business students over the course of 3 years. Finding that empathy consistently ranked lowest in the ratings, the researchers
set out to discover the driving motives behind this invariable trend, and conducted a second study to obtain opinions about
possible underlying factors. The paper presents the findings of both studies, as well as literature reviews on the differences
between management and leadership, a historical overview of leadership, a reflection of 21st century leadership, the ongoing
debate on the effects of corporate psychopaths on ethical performance, and scholars’ perception on empathy in corporate leadership.
The findings indicate the need for a paradigm shift in corporations as well as business schools in regards to leaders’ required
skills, and suggest a proactive approach from business faculty to change the current paradigm. 相似文献

Preferences for charitable giving in auctions can be modeled by assuming that bidders receive additional utility proportional
to the revenue raised by an auctioneer. The theory of bidding in the presence of such preferences results in a very counterintuitive
prediction which is that, in many cases, bidders having preferences for charitable giving does not lead to a substantial revenue
advantage for an auctioneer. We test this theory and this prediction with a series of experiments. In one experiment we induce
charitable preferences exactly as specified in the model to see if bidders respond to them as predicted. We find that they
do. We then conduct a second experiment in which the revenue from the auctions is donated to actual charities to verify the
robustness of the prediction when charitable preferences are generated by a more natural source and find again that the theoretical
prediction holds: even strong charitable preferences do not result in substantial revenue increases to the auctioneer. 相似文献
