Destination Image Saturation

Offering travel information sources to potential tourists can be expensive, although the importance of the amount and variety of travel information sources has been stressed in many studies. Therefore, it would be useful to examine how much exposure to travel information would lead to optimal results. Effects of exposure time to travel information on destination image were examined in this study. Two hypotheses were suggested to account for the relationships between exposure time to travel information and destination image. Specifically, the first hypothesis was related to a linear trend, while the second one was related to a quadratic trend in the conceptual relationships. A posttest-only control group design was used, and 312 undergraduate students were recruited at six colleges. Multivariate analysis of variance and a series of quadratic regression analyses were used to test the two hypotheses. Results demonstrated that there were both linear and quadratic trends in the relationships between exposure time to travel information and destination image. Findings also provided empirical evidence for a saturation effect on perceived destination image formation. Therefore, an optimum level between information exposure and perceptions was suggested.     

Inverse-probability-weighted logrank test for stratified survival data with missing measurements

The stratified logrank test can be used to compare survival distributions of several groups of patients, while adjusting for the effect of some discrete variable that may be predictive of the survival outcome. In practice, it can happen that this discrete variable is missing for some patients. An inverse-probability-weighted version of the stratified logrank statistic is introduced to tackle this issue. Its asymptotic distribution is derived under the null hypothesis of equality of the survival distributions. A simulation study is conducted to assess behavior of the proposed test statistic in finite samples. An analysis of a medical dataset illustrates the methodology.

Investor Recognition, Liquidity, and Exchange Listings in the Reformed Markets

We examine multiple facets of firms' descisions to list on the NYSE. Although the average Nasdaq spreads are now comparable to the average NYSE spreads, we find that firms continue to switch from Nasdaq to the NYSE, and that they experience positive cumulative abnormal returns on listing. Using a simultaneous ststem of equations approach, we establish that enhanced investor recognition mainly explains this phenomenon. A logistic regression suggesrts that corporate listing choice is consistent with these findings, since eligible unlisted firms already have high volumes and recognition and might not benefit as much as do firms that actually switch.     

《毛泽东思想概论课》教学中需把握的问题思考

毛泽东思想是马克思主义与中国实际相结合的理论产物,毛泽东思想概论课程的设置就是要通过教师对毛泽东思想概论课程的讲授,使学生把握毛泽东思想活的灵魂,帮助青年学生树立正确的世界观、人生观、价值观.教师在教学中必须站在历史的高度讲授"毛泽东思想概论"课程,必须与历史实践结合,与现实结合,与学生思想实际的结合,在教学中采用多媒体和网络的现代化教学手段可以有效地保证<毛泽东思想概论>课程的教学质量,科学地应用案例教学法,可以提高启发式教学效果.教师要讲好毛泽东思想概论课就要不断深入研究理论和现实的结合,探索和运用现代教育技术,以适应现代教育信息化发展的要求,增强了教学活力.进一步运用现代教育技术手段,提高毛泽东思想概论课教学的感染力.     

信息化与工业化融合的理论模型探索——基于三元经济结构视角

通过对信息化与工业化融合(简称"两化融合")的文献梳理,发现对其内涵、本质和指标体系构建方面的研究不少,但对理论模型的研究几乎没有。通过对传统二元经济理论在新形势下的局限性分析,得出两化融合源于新经济发展带来的三元经济理论,并提出一个简单三元经济模型,得出农业现代化和两化融合的"中国特色新二元经济"形态是三元经济理论的中国化体现。     

Equilibrium theory with unbounded consumption sets and non-ordered preferences : Part I. Non-satiation

A new condition is introduced for the existence of equilibrium for an economy where preferences need not be transitive or complete and the consumption set of each agent need not be bounded from below. The new condition allows us to extend the literature in two ways. First, the result of the paper can cover the case where the utility set for individually rational allocations may not be compact. As illustrated in Page et al. [Page Jr., F.H., Wooders, M.H., Monteiro, P.K., 2000. Inconsequential arbitrage. Journal of Mathematical Economics 34, 439–469], the no arbitrage conditions do not apply to an economy with a non-compact utility set. Second, we generalize the arbitrage-based equilibrium theory to the case of non-transitive preferences.

Human Resource Approaches to Retirement: Gatekeeping,Improvising, Orchestrating,and Partnering

This qualitative study examines the patterns in human resource (HR) approaches to retirement across 24 organizations to explore innovative practices as well as gain understanding of the differences in how firms are dealing with major changes surrounding retirement and workforce demographics. Using organizational adaptation theory and carrying out a thorough analysis of in‐depth interviews with HR managers, we identify three dimensions that differentiate organizations’ approaches to retirement: (1) actions and interactions of key stakeholders in the retirement process; (2) HR information gathering focus regarding workforce issues; and (3) HR posture around changes needed in retirement policies and practices. Based on organizational profiles on these dimensions, four distinct approaches to retirement emerge and are described in some detail: gatekeeping, improvising, orchestrating, and partnering. These different approaches also provide insight into how organizations differ in their adaptation to change. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
