中国上市公司债务期限结构分析

对我国上市公司债务期限结构影响因素进行检验的结果表明,我国上市公司债务期限结构的影响因素较为稳定,内生性对其不构成显著影响.我国上市公司的债务期限与企业规模正相关,与企业财务实力、资本结构负相关,与其他因素没有显著关系.对债务期限和成长性关系的检验结果表明,我国企业应对成长机会变化的工具是财务杠杆而不是债务期限.代理成本理论不能解释我国上市公司债务期限结构的选择行为.

农产品质量安全监管的成本——效率分析

近年我国农产品质量安全问题日益凸显。导致农产品质量安全堪忧的市场不完全、信息不对称、外部性等市场失灵问题仅靠市场自身调节无法解决,需要加强政府调控与管理;而近年农产品质量安全事件频发,政府监管仍然不到位,原因在于政府监管成本过高。实现农产品质量安全的有效监管,必须整合政府资源、社会资源、个人资源,形成监管合力,构建全社会共同监管的局面,降低制度成本、社会监管成本和消费者的信息获得成本,提高农产品质量安全监管效率。     

"教育回归生活世界"理论指导下的大学外语教师角色探微

"教育回归生活世界"理念的出现给教育理论和实践带来了新的视角与活力.依据"教育应把生活作为一切教育认识及其活动的根源和终极意义"的理论,拟对大学外语教师角色定位为知识和文化的客观传授者;学生学习能力的不懈培养者;学生价值观的崇高引领者和个性绽放的人文实践者.在具体教学实践中,外语教师应充满人文关怀地实施"激发学生学习的动机和兴趣""对学习方法有所引导和铺垫"和"让学生有胜任感"等关照学生内心和生活的教学策略.     

FDI流入影响因素的VAR模型分析

外商直接投资(FDI)是一个区域对外经济发展中不可或缺也是最为活跃的领域,FDI流入对地方经济的促进作用受到理论的广泛认可,但对FDI流入影响因素的解析却存在诸多分歧。本文以陕西省为例,通过FDI发展情况和自向量回归模型VAR以及协整检验对陕西省FDI的影响因素做了实证分析。结果显示:在诸多外因中,产业结构是影响陕西省FDI的主要因素,且影响有两至三年的滞后期,劳动力工资水平对陕西省FDI有反向影响,但影响力逐步减弱,因此加大产业结构调整,提高劳动力素质是吸引外资的重要途径。     

资本集聚与经济增长的非线性研究——基于系统动态GMM估计和门槛回归的经验分析

文章基于改进的C-D生产函数构建动态计量模型,利用中国1992-2011年的30个省市的面板数据及系统GMM估计方法,验证了资本集聚与经济增长间的非线性关系的存在性,并对计量模型进行修正建立了门槛回归模型,进行了门限回归,结果表明:资本集聚与经济增长间存在单一门槛值,而且资本集聚水平与交易成本存在此消彼长的关系。据此结论提出政策建议:我国东部沿海地区部分制造业行业资本集聚过度,应该进行资本流向管理及政策引导,让过剩资本流向周边及西部资本相对短缺的地区;中西部落后地区应该创造有利条件,增强资本集聚的动力,充分利用资本集聚的积极效应加快经济增长;同时应该对各种集聚资本的质量加强考核与监管。     

国际贸易的全成本分析——基于政府视角的考察

国际贸易理论和现实的新进展表明:包括生产成本、交易成本、环境成本和代际成本等在内的"全成本"是一国参与国际分工和贸易的比较优势的基础。在以"国际贸易的全成本"为基础的国际分工中,一国政府应以个体理性与集体理性、短期理性与长期理性的相容和统一为目标,以外部成本内部化为基本手段,同时扮演"守夜者""规制者""调节者""守望者"等四大角色,从而谋求贸易增长、技术进步、制度创新、生态环境保护和可持续发展的有机统一。     

Prioritizing destination attributes for optimal resource allocation: a study of Chinese tourists visiting Britain

ABSTRACT

This study assesses the importance, performance, and the interrelationships of key destination attributes for marketing managers to prioritize resource allocation. A three-dimensional analysis of importance–performance–impact-analysis (IPIA) factors, based upon a survey sample of 275 Chinese tourists to Britain and an expert panel interview with 10 destination marketing managers is presented. Data analysis was based upon a mix of multi-criteria decision-making methodologies, the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method and the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method. The framework can be applied to prioritize resources allocation to improve customer satisfaction in other contexts, such as a sector or a specific business.

Applying the counseling-learning approach to a tourism-related massive open online course

ABSTRACT

This study discusses how to apply counseling-learning (CL) principles to a particular e-learning solution for teaching a tourism-related subject via a massive open online course (MOOC). Several effective caring patterns in achieving learning-related goals and being part of a community according to the CL principles are presented and discussed using the MOOC “eTourism: Communication Perspectives” as a case study. The study underlines how the MOOC platform can act as a place for contents enjoinment and active learning. Moreover, the active role of social media for increasing the engagement of learners in the proposed activities and for developing a sense of the community is identified. In particular, Facebook and Twitter can act as places for community building and informal social interactions among learners that last beyond the completion of the course, which in turn can be a valid aid for continuing the relationships among instructors/learners and learners/learners, and for reaching new ones.
