中国、新加坡服务贸易的互补性与竞争性:基于2002~2011年数据的实证分析

在描述中国与新加坡服务贸易发展现状的基础上,基于两国2002～2011年的数据,利用RCA指数、TCI指数、TC指数等指标,对两国的服务贸易的互补性和竞争性进行分析.分析结果显示：在运输、建筑、保险和其他商业服务部门,两国服务贸易互补性较显著.在政府服务、通信等其他服务部门,两国的出口贸易互补性弱.中国在建筑、计算机与信息和其他商业服务部门的竞争力较强,而新加坡在金融、建筑、其他商业服务部门都显示出较大的竞争优势.双方应该立足比较优势,整合区内资源应对国际挑战.     

Antecedents of M&A success: The role of strategic complementarity,cultural fit,and degree and speed of integration

In this paper, we develop a comprehensive model of M&A success. We integrate fundamental constructs of different schools and discuss their interdependencies with M&A success. Our theoretical framework was tested empirically across a sample of 106 SME transactions in the machinery, electronic, and logistic industries in the German‐speaking part of Central Europe. The results of our study support the demand for an integrative perspective and theory on M&A. M&A success is a function of strategic complementarity, cultural fit, and the degree of integration. Strategic complementarity also positively influences cultural fit and the degree of integration. Cultural fit positively influences M&A success, but surprisingly has a negative impact on the speed and degree of integration. The degree of integration is positively related to speed of integration.

FDI对国际贸易的互补与替代效应:基于我国主要贸易伙伴的平行数据实证研究

将我国主要贸易伙伴按贸易方式、商品结构及地理距离分成三组,分别使用平行数据的截面SUR方法对各组与我国出口额、进口额和上年FDI、截至上年的累积FDI及当年GDP总和进行回归分析,发现短期内,第一组FDI对国际贸易起互补效应,第二组起替代效应,第三组效应不明显.在长期,三组数据的累积FDI对国际贸易均有显著促进效应.     

Critical mass of users versus critical mass of services in a multiproduct information service system

In this paper we study the economic behaviour of the suppliers of a set of advanced telecommunications services with a joint adoption cost (common access facilities, learning process, etc.). In fixing the two-part tariffs for their services the suppliers have to share the burden of leaving to the users a surplus sufficient to cover the adoption cost. The lack of coordination in supplying a critical mass of services or in the pricing decisions has high changes to result in suboptimal or unviable diffusion of the new technology as a whole. We present a static optimization model of user behaviour, and derive access and usage demand with a two-part tariff and a joint adoption cost. We compare noncooperative and cooperative market equilibria in a duopoly with perfect information; finally we discuss the extension of our analysis to the case of imperfect information in a dynamic setting.     

Analysis and Countermeasures on Textile Export Competition Between Pan-Zhujiang River Delta and ASEAN

With the economic cooperation between China and ASEAN developing rapidly, strong complementarity and quota of textile canceled, ASEAN are preparing for the conformity of their textile industry. So do ours. The position of Pan-zhujiang river delta is the front to the ASEAN. This paper analyses the existing problems and work out the countermeasures and proposals.     

Does trade integration alter monetary policy transmission?

This paper explores the role of trade integration—or openness—for monetary policy transmission in a medium-scale new Keynesian model. Allowing for strategic complementarities in price setting, we highlight a new dimension of the exchange rate channel by which monetary policy directly impacts domestic inflation: a monetary contraction which appreciates the exchange rate lowers the local currency price of imported goods; this, in turn, induces domestic producers to lower their prices too. We pin down key parameters of the model by matching impulse responses obtained from a vector autoregression on time series for the US relative to the euro area. Our estimation procedure yields plausible parameter values and suggests a strong role for strategic complementarities. Counterfactual simulations show that openness alters monetary transmission significantly. While the contractionary effect of a monetary policy shock on inflation and output tends to increase in openness, we find that monetary policy's control over inflation increases, as the output decline which is necessary to bring about a given reduction of inflation is smaller in more open economies.     

Capital–Skill Complementarity and Inequality in Sweden

Income inequality increased in Sweden during the 1980s and 1990s, as did the returns to higher education. The main conclusion of this study is that increased income inequality between high‐ and low‐skilled workers is demand driven and is due to the presence of capital–skill complementarity in production. Increased investments in new, more efficient capital equipment, along with a slowdown in the growth rate of skilled labor, have raised the ratio of effective capital inputs per skilled worker, which, in turn, has increased the relative demand (and market return) for skilled labor through the capital–skill complementarity mechanism.     

Knowledge relatedness and the performance of multibusiness firms

This study examines corporate performance effects of cross‐business knowledge synergies in multibusiness firms. It synthesizes the resource‐based view of diversification and the economic theory of complementarities to conceptualize cross‐business knowledge synergies in terms of the relatedness and the complementarity of knowledge resources across business units of the multibusiness firm. The study hypothesizes that corporate performance is improved when the firm simultaneously exploits a complementary set of related knowledge resources across its business units. In a sample of 303 multibusiness firms, the study finds that synergies arising from product knowledge relatedness, customer knowledge relatedness, or managerial knowledge relatedness do not improve corporate performance on their own. Synergies arising from the complementarity of the three types of knowledge relatedness significantly improve both market‐based and accounting‐based performance of the multibusiness corporation.

Intertemporally dependent preferences and optimal dynamic behavior

We study a model of optimal dynamic behavior in which the intertemoral preferences preserve the time additively separable framework of Ramsey models, while exhibiting Edgeworth–Pareto complementarity between consumption in adjacent periods. We identify economic environments in which global optimal dynamics under intertemporal complementarity exhibits persistent fluctuations even though the misspecified Ramsey-type theory, under the intertemporal independence assumption, predicts monotone convergence.
