Open economy and financial burden of corruption: theory and application to Asia

We discuss why corruption remains high and show that corruption contributes to the Banking distress and to the rapid transmission across international stock and currency markets. Undeveloped ‘derivative securities’ markets make the risk from stress-induced volatility difficult to manage. Vinod’s (1999) closed economy model is extended to indicate the asymmetry of ‘home bias’ and the effect of corruption on the value at risk (VaR). Our theory predicts that capital flight controls will be many, foreign direct investment (FDI) will be low and cost of capital will be high in corrupt developing countries, which is supported by Asian data. We include some policy recommendations regarding financial institutions and markets.     

On Sraffa's Standard commodity: is its price invariant with respect to changes in income distribution?

In his 1960 book, Sraffa suggested using a composite commodity,which he called the ‘Standard commodity’, to solveRicardo's search for an invariable measure of value, i.e., astandard capable of isolating the price movements of any othercommodity induced by changes in income distribution. The absencein Sraffa's book of an explicit proof of the invariance propertyof this standard gave rise to many misunderstandings about itsmeaning and its role as an invariable measure of value. In orderto clear up these questions, Bellino (On Sraffa's Standard commodity,Cambridge Journal of Economics, vol. 28, 121–32, 2004)has proposed a ‘proper’ definition of an ‘invariablemeasure of value’, showing that Sraffa's Standard commoditydoes fulfil the requirements of this definition. He claims thatthe fulfilment of this property (but not the constancy of its‘nominal’ price) qualifies the Standard commodityas an invariable measure of value. In this paper, a proof ofthe invariance of the price of the Standard commodity with respectto changes in income distribution is given, and the equivalenceof this property with Bellino's definition of invariance isshown.     

AN EMPIRICAL EXAMINATION OF RELATIONSHIP MAGNITUDE

Based upon a review of the extant literature, it is proposed that the structure of an interorganizational relationship is composed of relationship type and the under‐researched construct of relationship magnitude. Specifically, it is hypothesized that relationship magnitude, a second order construct composed of trust, commitment, and dependence, affects relationship type, which affects the perception of value of the relationship. The results of a survey analyzed through structural equation modeling support these hypotheses.

我国城市农民工劳动供给曲线的理论分析和实证检验

从我国存在巨大的区域经济差异出发,如果假定劳动力从落后地区向发达的城市转移,不是决定于两地区的工资之差,而是决定于城市的工资与落后地区劳动力在城市的生存成本和需要其负担的家属在落后地区的生存成本即转移劳动力的基础价值之差,并且假定在城市的劳动力供给市场上,随着工作时间的延长和实际小时工资的降低,存在劳动力的退出,并且退出劳动力减少的劳动供给大于留在劳动力市场中的劳动者增加的劳动量,则城市农民工的劳动供给曲线是一条以落后地区转移劳动力的最低基础价值为起点、向右上方倾斜、其不同阶段存在不同斜率、且斜率随城市劳动力供求状况而变动的曲线.

供应链是价值链的一种表现形式

先介绍了企业关系的演变和发展 ,概述了供应链/价值链产生和发展的背景、供应链/价值链研究的发展。然后从哲学的角度深入分析供应链/价值链之间的关系和区别 ,首次得出“供应链是价值链的一种表现形式 ,两者是内容和形式的哲学关系”的结论。弄清两者的关系 ,对供应链/价值链的研究和应用有很大的现实指导意义。价值链管理应注重宏观、战略、定性等方面的研究和应用 ,而供应链管理则应更加注重微观操作、运行管理、定量等方面的研究和应用。
