A quantitative perspective of Porter's industry forces framework for investment analysis

Porter's industry forces framework is an important tool for external analysis of firms, but its qualitative nature presents numerous limitations to be used in investment analysis. This study introduces a quantitative perspective of the framework using financial information proxies. This allows investors to gauge the external factors quantitatively and to gain enhanced framework usability. In order to test its validity, the correlation movements of our quantitative perspective have been analysed. For demonstration of enhanced usability, our quantitative perspective, alongside machine learning models, was used to predict business performances. The empirical results indicate that our quantitative perspective of the framework corroborates with its original definition and that it exhibits enhanced usability than the original framework.     

Spontaneous economic order

This paper provides attempts to formalize Hayek’s notion of spontaneous order within the framework of an Arrow-Debreu economy. Our study shows that, if a competitive economy is sufficiently fair and free, a spontaneous economic order will emerge in long-run competitive equilibria so that social members spontaneously occupy an unplanned distribution of income. Despite this, the spontaneous order may degenerate in the form of economic crises whenever an equilibrium economy approaches the extreme competition. Remarkably, such a theoretical framework of spontaneous order provides a bridge linking Austrian economics and neoclassical economics, where a truth begins to emerge: “Freedom promotes technological progress”.     

国企利润分配制度改革与资本积累

依据鲍尔斯等学者对"剩余产品"的相关论述,本文将国企利润分配制度改革分为"利润控制主体改革"和"利润使用方式改革",按照这两个维度,立足于《资本论》中的理论与方法,建立了马克思主义理论框架,对国企利润分配制度改革作出了新的阶段划分,并解释了新中国成立以来国有工业企业的长期资本积累历程。本文的基本结论是,"利润控制主体改革"和"利润使用方式改革"均影响资本积累。当前,深化国有资本经营预算改革面临的真正挑战是预算支出结构改革将导致公平与效率的权衡,在民生支出提高的情况下需要保证国有资本经营预算的相对独立性,切实提高国有资本经营生产性支出效率。

基于Homans- Simon模型的供应链合作关系动态发展机理研究

供应链合作伙伴关系可以定义为供应商与制造商之间,在一定时期内共享信息、共担风险、共同荻利的协议关系.实施合作要从研究合作关系开始,因此对合作关系动态发展的外在动力、内在机理和变化规律作出深入研究十分必要.文章尝试着采用系统分析的方法,运用改进后的Homas- Simon模型对供应链合作关系的动态发展机理进行研究,进一步分析集团行为各主要方面的特征,并得出合作关系发展的辩证关系.

I'll Have Fries with That: Increasing Choice Complexity Promotes Indulgent Food Choices

Three studies showed that the way that options are presented in a choice set—as combinations of intersecting attributes or in a more sequential “a la carte” choice format—affects the degree to which consumers adhere to their goals in the consumption setting. Specifically, using the context of food consumption and healthy eating, results showed that consumers were more likely to make double indulgent choices, the choice of both an indulgent entrée and an indulgent side item, when choosing from a menu consisting of predetermined “combination meals” than when selecting among the same entrée and side options in an a la carte fashion. Studies 2 and 3 implicated a goal distraction mechanism in driving the effect; the combination format, with its cross‐cutting of product choices into various combinations, reduces the salience of goal‐related constructs on implicit measures. In showing that different product presentation formats can affect the degree to which consumers make goal‐consistent choices, the current work adds to work on the effects of environmental influences on goal progress and goal achievement. Implications for encouraging goal‐consistent behavior in the context of healthy eating as well as other important consumer goal contexts are discussed.
