Event management research over the past 12 years: What are the current trends in research methods,data collection,data analysis procedures,and event types?

The meetings, expositions, events, and conventions sector has gained recognition as an academic field by growth in higher education programs including courses, programs, and textbooks, as well as research. The purpose of the extant research is to review event, tourism, and hospitality journals from 2004 to 2016 to provide insight into the current state of research in terms of data collection and data analysis procedures. Results can assist researchers identify the type of journal to target for publication with consideration of the type of event, methods, and data analysis procedures.     

The global permutations of the Western publication regime

This article introduces the concept of the ‘publication regime’ into the current discourse on academia. This allows for a much deeper understanding of how publishing conglomerates and appointment and promotion procedures in Western universities are increasingly interlocked. It then turns to the global permutations of that regime as it is currently disseminated to other parts of the world. Using empirical examples drawn primarily from the field of tourism studies, we examine the problems engendered by the introduction of the regime’s appointment and promotion procedures of early career academic staff in universities in the emerging world regions. We specify the auxiliary mechanisms intended to ameliorate these problems, and draw attention to the neo-colonial implications of the disciplining process which these mechanisms are introducing into the academic life of the universities in the emerging regions. We argue that, as the Western publication regime is becoming increasingly globalized, local intellectual voices tend to be silenced by the regime’s growing hegemony, and call for the integration of non-Western perspectives into the framework of the publication regime.     

Robustness of the inference procedures for the global minimum variance portfolio weights in a skew-normal model

In this paper, we study the influence of skewness on the distributional properties of the estimated weights of optimal portfolios and on the corresponding inference procedures derived for the optimal portfolio weights assuming that the asset returns are normally distributed. It is shown that even a simple form of skewness in the asset returns can dramatically influence the performance of the test on the structure of the global minimum variance portfolio. The results obtained can be applied in the small sample case as well. Moreover, we introduce an estimation procedure for the parameters of the skew-normal distribution that is based on the modified method of moments. A goodness-of-fit test for the matrix variate closed skew-normal distribution has also been derived. In the empirical study, we apply our results to real data of several stocks included in the Dow Jones index.     

基于耕作地块调查的土地整理规划设计--以太康县王盘村为例

研究目的：探究耕作地块调整及其规划设计,破解耕地细碎化,为高标准基本农田建设土地整理项目提供支撑。研究方法：实地调查法,文献综合法,总结归纳法,案例研究法。研究结果：（1）当前耕地破碎表现为自然破碎和权属破碎,即田块破碎和耕作地块破碎,“肥瘦搭配”承包分割是造成耕地破碎的主要原因;（2）耕作地块破碎会造成耕作效率低下、不利于农业机械应用、灌溉排水不便、田间管理困难等问题;（3）开展耕作地块调整过程中征求村民意见,是公众参与土地整理的有效途径;（4）总结归纳耕作地块调整的指导原则和程序,并以王盘村为例探究耕作地块调整的规划设计方案;（5）开展基于耕作地块调整的土地整理,可以增加耕地面积,降低耕地破碎化程度,优化耕地景观格局,提高耕地耕作效率。研究结论：开展基于耕作地块调整的土地整理是减少耕地破碎化,促进耕地集中连片、助推高标准基本农田建设的有效途径。     

论对行政自由裁量权的程序控制

对行政自由裁量权进行程序控制具有提高行政效率、促进行政公正、防止行政腐败等几个方面的法律价值.为控制行政自由裁量权所设置的程序机制应从事前、事中和事后对行政自由裁量权进行全方位、立体式的监控.我国控制行政自由裁量权的程序机制应由情报公开制度、表明身份制度、回避制度、行政教示制度、行政说明理由制度等一系列制度所构成.     

Market liquidity,closeout procedures and initial margin for CCPs*

ABSTRACT

Closeout procedures enable central counterparties (CCPs) to respond to events that challenge the continuity of their normal operations, most frequently triggered by the default of one or more clearing members. The procedures typically entail three main phases: splitting, hedging, and liquidation. Together, these ensure the regularity of the settlement process through the prudent and orderly liquidation of the defaulters’ portfolios. Traditional approaches to CCPs’ margin requirements typically assume a simple closeout profile, not accounting for the ‘real life’ constraints embedded in the management of a default. The paper proposes an approach to assess how distinct closeout strategies may expose a CCP to different sets of risks and costs taking into account real-life frictions. The proposed approach enables the evaluation of a full spectrum of hedging strategies and the assessment of the trade-offs between the risk-reducing benefits of hedging and the transaction costs associated with it. Using an unexplored set of transactional level data, the proposed framework is evaluated assuming the hypothetical default of a real CCP clearing member. We consider the worst-case loss of a large interest rate swap portfolio observed over the past 10 years (i.e. 2005–2015) and show that an efficient hedging strategy which minimises risk may not be optimal when transaction costs are taken into account. The empirical analysis suggests that transaction costs are a significant factor and should be accounted for when designing a hedging strategy. Specifically, it is shown that the risk-reducing benefits arising from more tailored hedging strategies may introduce higher transaction costs, and therefore may change the effectiveness of the strategies.

Vacation behaviour under high travel cost conditions – A stated preference of revealed preference approach

This paper investigates vacation behaviour under high travel cost conditions. We estimate discrete portfolio vacation choice models on data obtained in a novel free format Stated Preference of Revealed Preference (SP-off-RP) choice experiment. The substantive contribution of this paper is that we develop new insights into vacation behaviour under high travel cost conditions. We find that vacationers exhibit considerable diminishing marginal disutility of vacation travel costs. Furthermore, we have identified significant interactions effects across the following vacation choice dimensions: destination, length of stay, accommodation type and mode of transport. Therefore, a substantial increase in travel costs is likely to have marked consequences for the tourism industry – reaching beyond the transportation side of tourism. Methodological contributions of this paper are twofold: 1) it proposes a choice experiment in which SP alternatives are constructed by pivoting of late consideration set alternatives, rather than only of a chosen alternative, and 2) it proposes, and illustrates the use of, a generalization of a recently proposed SP-off-RP estimation procedure.
