Host-country policy – commitment or no-commitment: a theoretical analysis

This paper develops a model of foreign entry strategy and examines welfare of the host-country under two situations - (i) where host-country government commits to the tax policy, (ii) where host-country government does not commit to the tax policy. It turns out that under the non-committed government policy the foreign firm does not prefer to hold equity share in the domestic project. The host-country welfare, however, is more under the committed government policy than the non-committed government policy when the foreign firm has sufficiently higher bargaining power. The possibility of technology choice by the foreign firm reduces the range of bargaining power of the foreign firm over which the host-country welfare is more under the committed policy compared to the non-committed policy.     

安徽省主要城市工业用电效率及影响因素分析--基于DEA及Tobit两阶段模型

随着节约型社会的构建,安徽省不断加大对能源使用效率的监督和管理力度,为了明确安徽省近年来工业用电效率及其影响因素,采用数据包络及托宾回归模型对2004-2011年安徽省17个主要城市工业用电效率进行评价和分析。研究结果表明：（1）自2004年以来,安徽省主要城市工业用电效率一直处在上升阶段,但是与最优水平仍存在一定差距,同时还发现工业增加值与用电效率之间并不存在显著关系;（2）工业经济发达城市唯有依靠技术效率来提升用电效率,工业经济欠发达城市则需通过规模经济来实现用电效率的改善。（3）对外开放水平、节电意识、科技水平以及政府支出对工业用电效率有正向影响。     

The heterogeneous relationship between board social ties and corporate environmental responsibility in an emerging economy

Firms in emerging economies are faced with multiple, incompatible institutional forces in their environmental activities. Which of these forces will be dominant and instantiated within an organization is partly determined by the social relationships that a firm maintains with external actors. This paper investigates the relationship between board social ties and the level of environmental responsibility undertaken by firms in China, an emerging economy, by categorizing board social ties into three types in terms of the three isomorphic forces in the institutional field (coercive, normative and mimetic). Drawing on institutional and agency theories, using a sample of listed firms in environmentally sensitive industries, and a generalized least squares regression method, the results provide empirical evidence that ties that are linked to coercive and normative forces (i.e., political organizations and universities) are related to a higher level of environmental responsibility; however, those that are linked to mimetic forces (i.e., industrial peers) have a negative association with environmental responsibility, which is mitigated by CEO power. These findings suggest that the heterogeneous effects of board social ties on environmental responsibilities experienced by firms in a context of environmentalism are at an early stage.

管理层权力与上市公司薪酬业绩敏感性的实证研究——来自国有上市公司的经验证据

本文在对国内外文献进行充分回顾的基础上,立足于中国资本市场的特殊制度背景,以国有上市公司为研究样本,检验了管理层权力对上市公司薪酬业绩敏感性的影响。在此基础上,本文利用回归模型对上市公司的业绩进行了分离,经验证据发现,在管理层权力的影响下,高管薪酬与上市公司非正常业绩之间存在显著的正相关关系,与此同时,高管薪酬与上市公司的正常业绩之间的相关性却明显减弱。     

一种基于非正交信道的分布式中继选择及功率分配方法

针对非正交两跳多中继协作通信系统中的分布式中继选择问题,提出了一种基于非正 交信道的中继选择准则,简化了系统的设计。分析了其误码率性能,给出了其解析表达式 和以总功率为约束条件下的最优功率分配方案。仿真结果表明,最佳中继选择准则明显优于 传统的中继选择准则,且在最优功率分配方案下,可以获得明显的分集增益,系统的误码率 显著下降。     

Original Institutional Economics and Political Anthropology: Reflections on the Nature of Coercive Power and Vested Interests in the Works of Thorstein Veblen and Pierre Clastres

Our inquiry advances a comparison of the anthropological content of Thorstein Veblen’s evolutionary perspective with the foundations of the political anthropology drawn from selected works of Pierre Clastres. We seek to establish that what can be referred to as a clastrean reference can simultaneously offer new perspectives on institutionalism, while maintaining a radical and emancipatory understanding of Veblen’s writings. In this sense, we seek to reconsider and reevaluate the role of economic surplus drawn from Veblen’s anthropology, while also offering a general and critical perspective for understanding the emergence of coercive power within societies.
