论战略态下的技术进步

一般情况下的技术进步其工作和项目是单项性和相对孤立的,并以取得技术优势为目的,技术进步的结果是创立其核心功能.战略态下的技术进步强调与企业的各项工作、组织结构以及企业环境的协调发展,主张以建立企业的经营优势增加竞争力为目的,并在功能、创新上实施与技术核心功能项目相配套的附加功能创新,实现软硬技术的同时进步.     

我国文化产业国际竞争力比较及提升策略——基于2011年横截面数据的分析

本文从生产要素、需求要素、产业关联、企业发展、政府行为和贸易行为层面构建文化产业国际竞争力的评价指标体系,依据相关横截面数据,以2011年世界经济排名前20的国家为对象,对中国文化产业国际竞争力水平进行了年度评价。结果表明:中国作为世界文化大国的地位并没有变化,但离文化强国的地位尚有很大差距,文化产业虽增长较快,但综合国际竞争力较弱,在20个参评国家中处于中下等位置,与世界第二大经济体的地位还不相称。存在要素配置不合理、居民文化消费层次低、文化企业价值网络尚不成熟等系列问题。因此,需要从促进产业整合、完善产业网络、提高科技含量、优化政策与法律环境、加强人才培养,推进产业开放,统筹规划产业布局等方面采取系列策略。     

2011年一季度福建省经济形势分析

2011年一季度,福建经济延续了2010年四季度以来的上升势头,开局良好,地区生产总值、工业增加值、固定资产投资、社会消费品零售额均保持较快增长,主要指标增速高于全国平均水平。但物价上涨加快、出口增长放缓等问题仍较突出。随着＂防通胀＂日益成为国家宏观调控的首要目标,未来政策环境趋于紧缩,预计福建省全年经济运行将＂先升后降＂：上半年延续前期上升势头,增长速度持续走高,通胀压力不断加大;随着宏观调控紧缩政策陆续出台,并发挥效力,经济将在年中达到景气顶点;下半年总需求回落,增长放缓,通胀压力也同步减缓;全年GDP增长速度与去年持平或略低,总体仍保持高增长。     

从“养虎计划”谈连锁商业人力资源建设

连锁经营管理是现代商业企业的主要经营管理模式。在制约商业连锁业规模不断扩大的几大要素中,人力资源特别是人才资源是最关键的要素。加快培养合格的人才已成为连锁经营业普遍重视的课题,但如何培养一批适应连锁业态发展的企业人才已成为一道摆在商业连锁企业面前亟待解决的难题。安徽商之都股份有限公司在人才选拔、培养、使用的过程中,通过不断探索、实践和总结,建立了一套以"养虎计划"人才培养系统为支柱的人力资源体系,为支撑企业持续性发展注入了强大动力。     

Long-run income and price elasticities of demand for Colombian nontraditional exports: a multivariate cointegration framework

A long run income and price elasticities of demand is estimated for Colombian nontraditional exports through a multivariate cointegration analysis. Based on the combination of cointegration and exogeneity concepts and the inclusion of the complete dynamic system, the paper shows the existence of a long-run relationship among nontraditional exports, relative price and foreign demand, and higher long-run elasticities than those provided by the long-run cointegration vector coefficients that are usually reported in the trade literature.     

The Effect of Tax Treaties on Multinational Firms: New Evidence from Microdata

This paper uses affiliate‐level data from Swedish multinationals to examine the impact of tax treaties on both overall affiliate sales and the composition of those sales. In line with previous results, we find little evidence for an effect of treaties on the level of total sales. We do, however, find that a tax treaty increases the probability of investment by a firm in a given country. In addition, we find that a treaty reduces exports to the parent but increases imports of intermediate inputs from the parent. This is consistent with treaties increasing the effective host tax. This suggests that tax treaties impact the behaviour of multinationals along some dimensions but not along others.     

Market power in banking,countercyclical margins and the international transmission of business cycles

By introducing an imperfectly competitive banking sector into a standard two-country, two-good RBC model with complete asset markets, we study the international transmission of aggregate TFP shocks in an environment with noncompetitive financial intermediation. In this model, price-cost margins in a global loan market are endogenous and countercyclical. As a result, a positive TFP shock in one country spills over to another through a reduction in the global cost of both credit and externally financed investment. The quantitative analysis shows that countercyclical margins on loans play a key role in bringing the predictions of the theory closer to the observed cross-country cyclical co-movements of consumption, employment, investment and output. Recessions are deeper when the cost of credit rises during these economic downturns. Thus, a financial accelerator arises in our framework, unveiling the increased importance of stabilization policies in economies where margins in credit markets are countercyclical.     

¿Han sido el IBEX35 y el IPC definiciones financieramente eficientes del portafolio de mercado?

The present paper questions the financial efficiency of the most used market portfolio proxies in Spain and Mexico (IBEX35 and IPC) in order to determine if these can be considered a proper market portfolio proxy. The paper questions if they can be used as “neutrals”, according to Black & Litterman (1992) proposals in portfolio management. For this purpose, two discrete event simulations that use the Markowtiz-Tobin-Sharpe-Linter model (Markowitz, 1987, p.5) are performed with monthly data of the stock members of these indices in a February 2001 to December 2010 time window. The results are compared by using the Sharpe ratio (Sharpe, 1966) and show that the equilibrium assumptions in the market do not hold, leading to conclude that these market portfolio proxies are inefficient.     

Antecedents to complaint behaviour in the context of restaurant goers

Abstract

This article deals with the process by which consumer complaint behaviour is formed. The general aim is to analyse the nature of this type of response to dissatisfaction, describing its development in terms of how it is influenced by a combination of several factors already researched in the literature. The most relevant contributions from the related theoretical work indicate that public and private responses (complaint behaviour) are the most common reactions of consumers when faced with a dissatisfactory experience. A group of determinants which influence these responses in different ways has also been identified. The main objective of this study is to analyse the relationship between the different determinants of complaint behaviour with the aim of identifying the variables which exert the greatest influence.     

世界经济缓慢而坚定地走向复苏——关于2010年货币政策和外汇市场的分析

文章通过对各主要经济体的经济形势、货币政策与汇率走势的分析与预测，指出2010年世界经济正在缓慢而坚定地走向复苏，主要表现为：在各国政府和市场力量的推动下，世界经济形势好于预期，但受金融体系尚未恢复和“退出战略”两难困境等因素的影响，复苏进程仍面临很多困难；受经济复苏的不平衡性，全球利率调整将出现分歧，但随着世界经济形势的好转，国际外汇市场开始逐步回稳，主要货币汇率的小幅双向波动在短期内得以延续。
