Why has China’s vertical specialization declined?

Vertical specialization (VS) is quantified by the VS share, which measures the average import content per dollar of exports. A characteristic of China’s export trade is its strong dependence on assembly and processing activities. To take proper account of this, China’s VS shares should explicitly distinguish processing export production from other production. We estimate China’s annual VS shares from 2000 to 2012—the latest year for which a special input–output table is available that makes such an explicit distinction. We find that VS shares increased from 2000 to 2004 and subsequently started to decrease. To explore why it has declined, we introduce a new structural decomposition approach. We find that the decrease of the VS share appears to have been driven mainly by the substitution of imported intermediates by domestic products. This occurred in particular in the production of exports, which implies an upgrading of China’s position in global value chains.     

Hotel school alumni’s intentions to use communication channels – a cross-generational comparison study

ABSTRACT

Alumni communication is vital in sustaining the relationship between alumni and their alma maters. This research investigated four cohorts of alumni, and their intentions to use a range of traditional and digital communication channels, including social media. An online questionnaire was sent to 8060 alumni and resulted in 595 usable responses, yielding a 7% response rate. The research results showed that alumni have the highest intentions to use the alumni e-newsletter and the alumni Website and the lowest intentions to use social media, e.g., Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. Among alumni cohorts, significant statistical differences in their intentions to use these communication channels were identified. Given our findings, alumni communication staff are encouraged to leverage different communication channels targeting alumni in different age groups.     

P2P网贷模式探究——以宜人贷和有利网为例

P2P网络借贷平台作为互联网金融发展下的产物,不仅在一定程度上帮助国内中小企业解决融资困难的问题,还为投资者提供了一个新的投资渠道,P2P网络借贷平台的发展对我国金融业具有非常重要的意义.本文首先从P2P网络借贷平台的发展起源入手,介绍国外和国内P2P网贷平台的发展模式.具体以宜人贷和有利网为例,详细分析它们的运营模式.结合近期出台的《网络借贷信息中介机构业务活动管理暂行办法》的相关具体规定,发现问题并提出相应的建议,由点及面地总结国内P2P网络借贷平台存在的问题并提出建议.     

国外环境税改革对我国的借鉴意义——基于双重红利的视角

随着社会经济的快速发展,环境问题成为了全球各国关注的重点问题,如何在发展经济的同时保护环境也成为各国研究的重点,西方各国很早就对该问题进行了研究,并进行了环境税的改革,本文将从双重红利的角度,研究比较西方各国的环境立法实践,为我国即将实施的环境税改革提出一点建议.本文认为,环境税的改革应当以双重红利作为理论依据,坚持税收中性原则,建立完善的税收征管模式,以期通过环境税的改革改善环境问题,并希望能够实现促进社会就业等非环境红利.

Automatically extracting tourism-related opinion from Chinese social media

Existing tourism-destination investigations of Chinese texts remain weak, and no approach is available to realize Chinese context semantically and automatically. To resolve this, we provide a novel method based on qualitative analysis for studying the online opinions of Chinese tourists regarding the destinations to which they travel. Both traditional and simplified Chinese forums were chosen as the object of study. Spain was selected as a travel destination to evaluate the proposed method. After processing the natural language, unstructured Chinese content is analysed to derive the general sentiment and relevant topics regarding the destination through user comments on social media. The proposed method allows us to understand what tourists are interested in and how they form opinions about tourist destinations.     

经营绩效反馈、环境不确定性与企业广告投入

基于2012～2015年深沪两市A股上市公司样本数据,对经营绩效反馈和企业广告投入之间的关系进行了理论分析和实证检验,并进一步考察了环境不确定性的调节作用。研究结果表明：（1）当企业未实现资本市场经营预期时,随着实际绩效低于经营预期程度的增大,企业广告投入将减少;（2）当企业实现资本市场经营预期时,随着实际绩效高于经营预期程度的增大,企业广告投入将增加;（3）当企业未实现资本市场经营预期时,与低不确定性环境相比,高不确定性环境中企业经营绩效负反馈对广告投入的负向影响将增强;（4）当企业实现资本市场经营预期时,与低不确定性环境相比,高不确定性环境中企经营绩效正反馈对企业广告投入的正向影响将增强。     

基于碳排放的闭环供应链政府奖惩机制研究

温室气体的排放问题已成为国际社会亟待解决的问题,解决这一问题的必由之路就是通过降低产品碳排量实现从源头上减排。本文研究由一个制造商和一个零售商组成的逆向供应链系统,建立了政府实施回收奖惩机制的动态博弈模型,比较分析了有无政府回收奖惩机制两种情形下零售商的回收比例、供应链参与方的期望利润和产品的碳排放总量。研究结果表明,政府回收奖惩机制提高了回收比例和碳减排水平;当再制造减排程度较小时,政府回收奖惩机制降低了碳排放总量;基于消费者低碳偏好的政府回收奖惩机制提高了制造商和零售商的利润,更大程度的降低了产品总碳排放量;政府回收奖惩机制下较小的目标回收率能够最大化零售商利润。     

领导成员交换对主管评估行为的影响研究

近年来,评估者行为成为绩效评估研究领域的新焦点,它会受到自身动机/ 特征、受评者特征、评估者与受评者二元关系、组织评估制度等多方面因素的影响。本文设定主管为评估者,选择评估者与受评者二元关系中的领导成员交换（LMX）作为主要研究变量,探究LMX 与主管评估行为之间的关系。通过231 份有效问卷数据统计结果发现,LMX 显著正向影响主管宽大评估行为,LMX 水平越高,评估结果越趋向宽大;反之LMX 显著负向影响主管准确评估行为,LMX 水平越低,评估结果越趋向准确。在研究中引入管理性评估目的作为调节变量,当处于低情境下的绩效评估管理性目的时,LMX 对主管评估行为影响与主效应保持一致,但处于高情境下的绩效评估管理目的时,无论LMX 水平高低与否,主管都会趋向采取准确评估行为。     

中国经济升级版的评价指标体系构建、测度与阶段甄别

改革开放以来,中国经济取得了举世瞩目的成绩,而随之引起的弊端也日益凸显,经济转型和经济升级成为刻不容缓的任务之一。本文选取1995～2014年中国20年间的统计数据,利用层次分析法,从人民幸福感程度、结构优化程度、可持续发展能力、外向型经济、创新驱动能力方面考察中国经济阶段性特征,再运用系统聚类分析,进一步探索出中国在这20年间历经的经济升级状况及发展趋势,最后提出中国经济再次升级的动力源泉在于提高民生保障水平、科技创新、绿色产业、发展服务业、构建全方位开放新格局。
