Experts,Information, Reviews,and Coordination: Evidence on How Prizes Affect Sales*

Exploiting the award process, we implement a regression discontinuity design to estimate the effect of winning France's main literary prize, the Goncourt. It increases sales, especially for books that sold fewer copies before the announcement, the number of reviews on Amazon, and the probability of them being negative. The effect is partly driven by an increase in word of mouth. Those findings are consistent with a model where the prize provides information on the existence of a book and acts as a quality signal and a coordination device but prompts consumers to read books that are far from their tastes.

中国农产品流通发展报告(下)

本文认为,我国农产品物流模式主要有全国性物流、区域性物流、地方性物流和产地物流等多种模式;当前小规模且分散的农产品生产方式与大市场、大流通和多品种、多样化消费需求形成的矛盾,导致一些农产品流通成本居高不下,或因流通渠道不畅,影响了农民的生产积极性;消费需求的变化将推动我国农产品流通向更好、更有价值的方向发展;政府应进一步重视现代农产品流通市场体系建设,坚持以市场需求信息为载体,走新型农商道路,让农民种植有信心,销售有渠道,并真正从农产品交换中获利.

Management and Business Research on Commercial Diplomacy: Examining Trends and Themes

This article reviews the literature of commercial diplomacy during the period 1960–2014 from a management angle and is organized around four major themes: (1) government’s export/trade promotion function; (2) institutional/organizational arrangements; (3) managerial roles and activities; and (4) interaction between commercial diplomats and businesses. A complementary quantitative analysis tracing current research trends reveals the emergence of relevant publications at the end of the 1970s and a real increase after 2000. It also confirms the relative scarcity of commercial diplomacy literature focusing on the business and management dimension. Gaps in current literature are identified, and suggestions for further research are presented.

The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership

The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP), a framework for political, economic and social relations between the European Union and its Southern Mediterranean neighbours, saw daylight in Barcelona on 27-29 November 1995.

How well has the partnership performed in this changing environment and what are its prospects for the future?
