The Effects of Bracketing in Wealth Estimation

The use of bracketing in wealth surveys is sometimes criticized on the grounds that it will encourage respondents to substitute rough guesses for careful thought. In such a manner, the use of bracketing will "crowd out" more specific answers, creating the illusion of a reduction in nonresponse. This paper examines the patterns of wealth response in the first two waves of the Health and Retirement Study. On average, people do not appear to transition to bracketing. New tests of the breakeven level of crowding-out are suggested. Based on the explanatory power of the brackets, the degree of crowding-out which would be necessary to make the use of bracketing counterproductive appears to be much higher than plausible.

Measuring transnational leakage of forest conservation

Forest conservation in one country can influence the degree of conservation or deforestation in other countries because of international linkages of the forest products industry and markets and a lack of global coordination. Thus leakage and offsetting losses of environmental quality may be present. This paper develops an analytical framework for measuring this leakage and estimates its magnitude via general equilibrium modeling. We find that the magnitude of leakage depends upon the price elasticities of supply of and demand for forestry products across the countries and degree of cooperation in forest conservation. We estimate that a significant portion (42%-95%) of the reduced forestry production implemented in a country/region can be transferred to elsewhere, offsetting environmental gains. Leakage generally diminishes as more countries cooperate, but cooperation among only a few countries does not always dramatically reduce leakage. Thus forest conservation efforts and associated environmental quantity gains in a country or group of countries can be seriously undermined in terms of global net conservation gain in the absence of effective global cooperation. Our results also point to the importance of taking leakage into account in evaluating local or regional forest carbon sequestration projects.     

论商业方法专利对中国金融业的影响

一、问题的提出 长期以来，我国金融业保持着“蛋糕大家分”的格局，缺乏专利意识。随着外资金融机构加入我国网络金融的竞争。中资金融机构的软肋正在凸现，这个软肋不仅仅是技术问题，而且还有意识问题。自1996年起，花旗银行已向中国国家专利局申请了19项“商业方法类“发明专利，这些已申请专利多是配合新兴网络技术或电子技术而开发的金融服务和系统方法。目的是为了控制电子银行的核心技术，树立网上银行的领导地位。     

澳门往事

与香港的繁华相比,澳门多了几分静谧。走在街上,举目所望,虽没有鳞次栉比的摩天大楼,但却随处可见颇有特色的葡萄牙建筑。道路两旁餐馆门外的圆形桌椅、三三两两的顾客悠闲地品尝咖啡,街头偶尔驶过的汽车,让人如同身置某个欧洲小镇。这种和谐完美,让人惬意无比。无论是在大三巴的广场流连,还是坐在妈祖庙前的海边晒太阳;无论是看跑马比赛,还是坐在小酒吧里喝咖啡,澳门给人们的印象就是一个集东西方魅力于一体,有很强亲和力的城市。澳门由澳门半岛、凼仔和路环两个离岛组成,地方出奇得小。街道很窄,基本上都是单行线,可来往车辆竟有条不紊。…

“交行”联姻“汇丰”案例研究

20世纪30年代，汇丰银行曾经叱咤上海金融界。半个多世纪过去了，汇丰选择交通银行作为伙伴，在中国卷土重来。2004年8月6日，汇丰银行宣布以“香港上海汇丰银行”名义与交通银行签署入股协议。汇丰银行以每股1．86元入股，持有77．75亿股交行股份，占比19．9％。入股后汇丰将成为继财政部之后交行的第二大股东。这笔交易创下外资参股中资银行金额最高的纪录。
