全球粮食安全风险格局时空特征分析

[目的]当前全球范围内公共安全事件频繁发生,严重影响了世界粮食生产和供应链,粮食安全系列问题由此引发学术界与政府部门广泛关注。贸易流通不稳定的背景下,科学分析全球粮食安全和风险格局时空特征对维护国家粮食安全以及保障全球经济社会可持续发展具有重要意义。然而,以往研究缺乏对全球粮食安全和风险格局的长时序时空特征分析。文章通过结合粮食生产和消费数据对全球粮食安全和风险格局进行长时间序列研究,并探索全球粮食安全和风险格局时空规律。[方法]基于1961—2017年全球各国粮食生产和消费统计数据,综合运用波动系数、重心分析、粮食短缺指数和相对资源承载力模型等分析方法,对全球粮食生产、消费、风险及相对风险格局进行了分析,探究了全球粮食安全和风险格局的时空规律。[结果]（1）研究期间全球和中国粮食生产及消费呈显著上升趋势,疫情和蝗灾等重大突发事件会对粮食生产消费格局造成一定影响;（2）全球整体粮食安全总体从中等风险下降至低风险,中国粮食安全风险近60年持续降低,2017年处于低风险等级;（3）中国粮食资源承载力略高于全球平均水平,非洲、拉丁美洲以及东南亚地区粮食安全相对风险波动较大。[结论]世界粮食安...     

持久性收入对中国农民消费影响分析

运用弗里德曼的持久性收入假说分析我国农民的消费问题,并利用计量经济学的方法对中国历年农民消费统计数据进行分析,得出“持久性收入及持久性收入的边际消费倾向对我国现阶段农民消费支出影响较大”的结论,并从增加持久性收入和提高持久性收入的边际消费倾向两个方面就增加农民消费提出政策建议。     

提振消费要关注政策偏好的社会结构效应

新冠肺炎疫情爆发之后,人们非常关注通过提振消费来防止经济出现大幅度下滑。事实上,提振消费政策同时也具有社会政策属性。调查表明,在双循环背景下,通过社会政策维持一定的生计方式,并保持人们的消费水平具有重要意义。从对企业家FR、小手工业者BF与房屋中介LC的访谈资料以及在麓村、唐村的调查情况来看,人们在理解提振消费政策时具有共同的叙事特征。叙事本身具有鲜明的政策偏好,其核心是一定空间背景下结构与利益的分配正义问题。而风险社会与低欲望社会特征的并存深刻地影响着提振消费政策的制定,是行动者要面对的情境。为此,需要从规则与制度、空间与代际等长期性和持续性的角度系统思考提振消费政策的受益对象与受益群体,防止政策偏好所带来的结构性挑战。     

新发展格局视野中的消费券发放问题与重构研究

2020年面对新冠肺炎疫情冲击,各地纷纷发放消费券刺激消费。本轮发放消费券的省市和规模远超以往。考察当前各地消费券的实践,其存在三方面的问题:短期刺激消费与构建发展新格局缺乏衔接、地方各自为政与顶层设计阙如、财政补贴与财政约束的张力。针对这些问题,本文从新发展格局视野提出将当前消费券重构为财政和金融融合的消费金融券,使之成为构建新发展格局中扩大内需的长期政策和重要的宏观调控工具。消费金融券的制度设计要与社会结构新特征和新趋势相契合。针对低收入群体的消费金融券,应以财政补贴为主、以重大生活项目消费的利息补贴与信用担保为辅。针对中等收入群体的消费金融券,应以利息补贴为主,通过消费金融的方式扩大消费。加大消费金融券的全国顶层设计,明确中央和地方财政支持产业的范围和力度。     

The asymmetric behavior of household consumption under the business cycle

In this study, we examine whether and to what extent the pattern of household consumption is asymmetrically sensitive to economic changes. We use a threshold model with error correction to characterize household consumption under the business cycle. Using data from the 1979–2014 Survey of Family Income and Expenditure in Taiwan, we find that household consumption has pro-cyclical characteristics during the business cycle. More importantly, household consumption responds asymmetrically to economic fluctuations such that changes in consumption tend to be larger during expansions than during downturns. Furthermore, the nature of this asymmetry differs across household income quantiles.     

Investigating consumers’ green values and food‐related behaviours in Turkey

This study sets out to examine the influence of consumers’ green values on food‐related behaviours. Data were collected from a random sample of 385 consumers in Izmir, Turkey via face‐to‐face interviews. Factor analysis was conducted to identify the underlying dimensions that capture the meaning of green values, which affect shopping, cooking and eating behaviours of consumers. A composite variable that represents consumers’ perception of green values was created to classify consumers into two segments labelled: Negative perceivers (37.7%) and positive perceivers (62.3%). The results indicated that the positive perceivers tended to have healthier and environmentally friendly food consumption behaviours than the negative perceivers. Gender, age, education, marital status, body mass index, regular exercise and smoking were significant for differentiating between the segments. We intend to construct value‐based intervention programmes that are easy to implement, non‐mandatory and cost‐effective for the negative perceivers.     

Is it all about consumer engagement? Explaining continuance intention for utilitarian and hedonic service consumption

This paper compares the explanatory power of consumer engagement (CE) regarding service continuance intention with the variables of attitude (utilitarian and hedonic) and satisfaction. Survey data were collected from users of mobile music (n = 596) and mobile parking (n = 297) services. The partial least squares method was applied to analyze the data. In line with expectations, the findings show that attitude and satisfaction are superior drivers of service continuance intention compared to CE when service is used for utilitarian reasons. In contrast, when service consumption is driven by hedonic reasons, CE is a stronger driver than satisfaction. However, no evidence for the superiority of CE over attitude was found in the hedonic context.     

The pauper wears prada? How debt stress promotes luxury consumption

Being in debt prevails in the modern society, but little is known about the behavioral consequences of being under debt stress. Based on compensatory consumption theory, this paper examined how debt stress affects people's consumption behavior. Through a survey and three lab experiments, we found that: (1) debt stress increases consumers' luxury consumption intentions; (2) perceived status demotion mediates this relationship, such that debt stress leads to perceived status demotion, which in turn enhances consumers' luxury consumption intentions; (3) lay rationalism moderates this relationship, such that the positive relationship between debt stress and luxury consumption is stronger among less rational consumers. We concluded by discussing the theoretical and managerial implications of our findings.
