FDI技术溢出对能源效率影响的区域差异分析——基于吸收能力的视角

基于经济增长理论和FDI溢出理论,考虑吸收能力和能源效率的空间相关性,运用空间计量模型,构建了FDI技术溢出对能源效率影响的分析框架。运用1995—2012年中国30个省级单元的面板数据,比较分析了基于吸收能力的FDI技术溢出对能源效率的影响及其地区差异。研究发现:FDI技术溢出对能源效率的影响在全国范围内呈显著的空间差异性,且各地区对FDI技术溢出的吸收存在一定的滞后性,即不能充分地吸收国际先进生产技术来提升能源效率。建议中国各区域实施差异化的引资战略、注重提高技术吸收能力,以增大FDI对能源效率的正向溢出效果。     

The impact of IFRS adoption on the value relevance of book value and earnings

In this study, we investigate the impact of IFRS adoption in Europe and Australia on the relevance of book value and earnings for equity valuation. Using a sample of 3488 firms that initially adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in 2005, we are able to compare the figures originally reported for the 2004 fiscal years to the IFRS figures that were provided in 2005 as the 2004 IFRS comparative figures. As part of the inquiry, we introduce a cross-product term, equal to the product of EPS and BVPS, into the traditional linear pricing models. The estimated coefficient on the cross-product term is statistically significant and negative, as theory suggests in the presence of important nonlinearities. Further, there is increased non-linearity in the data subsequent to IFRS adoption, with the increase being most pronounced for firms in Common Law countries. With non-linear effects controlled for, there is no observed change in price relevance for firms in either Code Law or Common Law countries, contradicting the results from the linear pricing models. The results also suggest that the distribution of measurement errors becomes more similar across Code Law and Common Law countries after the adoption of IFRS, removing one difference between these groups. Thus, IFRS enhances comparability, an inference that would not be possible had we confined the analysis only to linear pricing models.     

The impact of reserve prices on the perceived bias of expert appraisals of fine art

We examine whether expert appraisals provided to bidders before major art auctions are unbiased indicators of value. Despite a strong grounding in theory, this aspect of optimal auction design has been frequently challenged in previous empirical research, particularly in the market for fine art. We adopt a valuation benchmark that incorporates sellers' reserve prices as well as high bids, and recognize censoring of works that fail to make reserve. Although the auction houses never divulge reserve prices, we exploit the fact that they can be observed indirectly via their impact on buy‐in rates. Using the set of French Impressionist paintings brought to auction from 1985 to 2001, we estimate the distribution of reserve prices, establish their link to a proper valuation benchmark, and isolate the selection bias due to bought‐in works on the perceived market value of fine art works. After controlling for the impact of reserve prices, and considering all works brought to auction, we find no evidence of bias in the experts' pre‐sale estimates.

Japan's fifth generation computer project

The Japanese Fifth Generation project is aimed at increasing computing power by around three orders of magnitude over 15 years. Motives are political and social as well as commercial. The Japanese have sought international cooperation in this attempt to beat IBM (in particular) by ignoring compatibility with existing systems. Although there is not even an embryonic Vth generation system yet, final success looks likely. One goal is to be able to process knowledge (rather than data), in a user-friendly manner.     

浅议新准则下企业合并会计处理差异及影响

2006年,财政部颁布了最新的企业会计准则,该准则体系立足于国内实际,在充分借鉴国际会计准则及其国际惯例的基础上,进一步实现了会计国际化的趋同;而在该准则的第20号文件中,对于同一控制与非同一控制下企业合并的确认、计量和信息披露又进行了重新的规范与说明.本文从实际出发,对新准则下这两种合并模式的会计处理差异及其影响进行了深入的探讨,以期可对规范或改进企业合并的会计处理起到一定的理论借鉴作用.     

Google: The World’s First Information Utility?

In only ten years, Google has achieved remarkable success from online search-based advertising. Its search engine is dominant, and its IT infrastructure is the most powerful computing system in the world running on over one million computers and serving more than one billion users globally. Google makes money by using its search engine to deliver online advertising alongside responses to user searches for information, goods, maps, directions, and a host of other services. Its capabilities make it likely to become the world’s first information utility – a concept similar to electric utilities that provide services to many corporations and individuals alike. Constant innovation is the key to Google’s success and offers lessons for other companies: hire talented people, have them work in small teams, and give them freedom to excel, but use a rigorous data-based approach to evaluating results and making course adjustments.

黑龙江省金融生态环境下农村金融合作社风险管理机制研究

当前,黑龙江省农村金融合作社金融生态环境存在的问题是,农村信用合作社产权制度改革进展较慢,农村社会征信体系还不完善,农村金融生态法律不健全,基层政府金融生态观念淡薄。构建金融生态环境下农村金融合作社风险管理机制,应加强地方政府的主导机制,完善农村信用合作社金融生态立法机制,加强同业合作,促成良性竞争机制,完善资本补足机制,健全内部治理机制,提升金融合作社抵御风险能力。
