全球旅游研究格局的综合分析(2003-2012)

基于Mill & Morrison的旅游系统理论,文章构建了由6个主类和61个亚类组成的旅游研究系统分类框架(The tourism research system categorization framework),选.取31本国际旅游期刊在2003-2012年期间的10058篇文章,从而提取出13669个关键词(其出现频次为41624)并进行归类,运用演绎分析和统计方法对旅游研究主题进行大数据整理.文章识别出旅游学研究的跨学科特征和各个旅游研究主题的受关注程度:从主类来看,最受关注的是“目的地”领域,其次是“需求”和“营销”领域;从亚类来看,最受关注的是“市场细分”和“吸引物和节庆”领域,而“基础设施”、“交通(旅游目的地内部)”和“旅游客流”等领域受关注度最少.最后,本文试图寻求与旅游学学科树进行理论对话,重新检验了近10年国际旅游研究在国内分类框架的学科特征与演变趋势.     

入境游客对中国传统文化旅游产品满意度的实证研究——以禅宗少林音乐大典为例

本文选取禅宗少林音乐大典为研究对象,研究了入境游客对传统文化旅游产品的评价与整体满意度、推荐意识、再观赏意识之间的关系.通过因子分析法萃取出入境游客对传统文化旅游产品的评价因子为3项(传统性、教育性、魅力性);除职业变量之外,其他性别、年龄、学历、家庭收入、国籍等变量下,传统文化旅游产品的评价因子存在显著性的差异.多重回归分析验证了传统性因子、教育性因子、魅力性因子与游客的整体满意度、再观赏意识之间有显著的正相关关系;教育性因子、魅力性因子与推荐意识之间有显著的正相关关系.     

Corporate Taxes and Securitization

Most banks pay corporate income taxes, but securitization vehicles do not. Our model shows that, when a bank faces strong loan demand but limited deposit market power, this tax asymmetry creates an incentive to sell loans despite less‐efficient screening and monitoring of sold loans. Moreover, loan‐selling increases as a bank's corporate income tax rate and capital requirement rise. Our empirical tests show that U.S. commercial banks sell more of their mortgages when they operate in states that impose higher corporate income taxes. A policy implication is that tax‐induced loan‐selling will rise if banks’ required equity capital increases.     

Improvements of model-test method for cavitation-induced pressure fluctuation in marine propeller

Although the prediction of propeller cavitation-induced pressure fluctuation strongly depends on the model-scale measurement in a cavitation tunnel, there is still a lack of correlation with full-scale data. This paper deals with the enhancement of such a correlation deficiency by improving the conventional model-test technique, two majors of which are in the following. One is to take into account the boundary layer effect of wooden fairing plate at the ceiling of water cavitation tunnel. The other is to avoid the resonance frequency range of model-ship via adjusting the revolution speed of model propeller. Through a case study, for which both model and full-scale test data are available, the improved method in this study shows its validness, and furthermore a close correlation with full scale measurement.     

DOES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS AFFECT FIRM PERFORMANCE OF CONSUMER CO‐OPERATIVES? THE CASE OF ICOOP KOREA

Consumer co‐operatives in Korea have been growing rapidly since they launched their own shops. If co‐operatives would be too much oriented to enlargement or economic growth, they might easily pay no attention to members’ participation which is one of the priorities in co‐operatives. It could lead to losing the value of co‐operatives. So it is important to adjust the balance between members’ participation and economic growth. This paper focuses on the role of board of directors in doing that. It aims to examine how effectiveness of the board influences members’ participation and the participation has effect on performance of co‐operatives in the case of iCOOP Korea. The variables such as communication with members and usage of management skills and knowledge are employed as measures of the effectiveness of the board in decision‐making process. The data are collected by survey the respondents of which are 222 directors of 30 primary co‐operatives. It is analyzed by Structural Equation Model. The findings of the research are as follows. Firstly, communication of the board with members increases the members’ democratic participation, and the increased participation contributes to improving the financial performance. Secondly, management skills and knowledge of the board does not have significant relations with the level of members’ participation, even though members’ economic participation has significantly positive relation with the financial performance. The findings imply that members’ voluntary participation will be increased when boards of co‐operatives try to reflect members’ needs in the decision making processes, and it can help the co‐operatives improve their financial performance. It suggests a clue for the trade‐off between the value of co‐operatives and growth of business which many co‐operatives are trying to resolve.     

The Simple Meaning of Complex Rates of Return

Real options analysis (ROA) has been identified in the literature as a quantitative means to evaluate the flexibility inherent in the decision-making process. From an engineering economics perspective, this paper highlights applications, real-world users, modeling approaches, ROA assumptions, and future research directions. Through identifying and systematizing the current literature, a concise summary of modeling concerns and a road map for future modeling efforts and applications is discussed. More specifically, this paper supports research efforts to combine decision analysis tools with financial option pricing techniques to develop a real option framework that will be accepted in industry to make decisions in today's fast-paced and highly competitive business environment.     

THE EFFECTS OF WORKERS' REGION OF BIRTH ON LABOR MARKET OUTCOMES IN THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA

In this paper, we investigate empirically whether there are differences in labor market outcomes according to workers' region of birth. We also investigate whether wage differentials by region of birth are due to taste discrimination, statistical discrimination as measurement error, or both of these things. The empirical analyses based on the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS) data show the following. First, Honam‐born workers have a higher migration ratio to other regions than Youngnam‐born workers. Second, workers born in other regions have a higher propensity to become contingent workers and are paid significantly lower wages than Seoul/Kyonggi‐born workers. Finally, our empirical tests support the third hypothesis that wage differentials by region of birth are attributable partly to statistical discrimination as measurement error and partly to taste discrimination. We rejected a hypothesis based solely on taste discrimination as well as a hypothesis based solely on statistical discrimination as measurement error.     

Revisiting General and Specific Union Beliefs: The Union‐Voting Intentions of Professionals

We examine how general and specific beliefs about unions influence the union‐voting intentions of professional employees. Previous research, mainly on nonprofessionals, has found that both beliefs are significant in predicting voting behavior, but that specific beliefs have the stronger effect. Using a structural equation model, we found a causal relationship between general and specific beliefs, and that the total effect of general beliefs is nearly three times as strong as that of specific beliefs.
