Property Rights Reform in Rangeland China: Dilemmas On the Road to the Household Ranch

This paper contributes to the debate over land tenure in rural China by extending its spatial coverage to the country’s extensive rangeland regions. Key characteristics of pastoral tenure, identified from field appraisals in western China, include group tenure and fuzzy boundaries. Although these characteristics give rise to efficiency concerns, from a new institutional economics perspective they also facilitate the realization of certain benefits, benefits that could represent opportunity costs of further exclusiveness. The strengthening of rangeland co-management may constitute a more appropriate path to institutional improvement than the establishment of the household ranch, the current goal of national rangeland policy.

知识产权活动的心理学基础探析

知识产权保护作为一种法律制度设计,不应违背人的心理规律。正是在现代知识产权法律制度的保护下,“天才”的需要得到了满足,才为创造性劳动提供了不绝的动力,这是一个不断递进的过程,权利人不断从中获取动力,个人与社会在相互满足的过程中获得良性的互动与统一。但是,囿于需要的社会性,知识产权保护的目的应是满足人的需要而不是为了满足人的贪欲,并且,对需求的满足应纳入法制的轨道。     

论互联网互动增值业务中虚拟财产的法律保护

“虚拟财产”是互联网互动增值业务系统的重要部分。虚拟财产保护不足会妨碍互联网互动增值业务的发展。我国法律相关规定的空白和理论认识的不统一造成司法实践的混乱。这种状况破坏了法律体系的统一性和确定性，也不能有力保护“虚拟财产”。有必要加强“虚拟财产”法律问题的研究，推动有关法律文件的出台。     

刍议虚拟财产的法律保护

随着网络,尤其是网络游戏的迅猛发展,虚拟财产的交易及其保护引发了是否要对其加以保护,如何进行保护,如何进行规范等一系列问题,在我国的司法实践中已经不得不开始面对这类纠纷的裁判,而在法律上有关虚拟财产的规则尚处于不确定的空白,给这类纠纷的解决带来了很大的障碍,基于此,进行虚拟财产特性、交易等等相关法律问题的研究,并在探讨其合法性的前提下,进一步论证虚拟财产的法律保护规则的建构具有十分重要的理论意义与现实意义。     

Control of intellectual assets in client relationships: implications for innovation

This empirical study of business‐to‐business service firms examines the determinants and effects of control rights to intellectual assets in a property rights theoretic framework. Regression analyses using survey data suggest that service suppliers that retain control over their intellectual output are more innovative. In long‐term relationships, service firms' clients may thus be better off balancing their need to control outsourced activities with the suppliers' incentives to invest in learning and innovation. Additionally, and aligned with property rights theoretic predictions, service suppliers' bargaining power and their indispensability in service projects are positively associated with their ability to retain control rights. In contrast, innovation capabilities are not very significant in determining control rights allocation between service suppliers and their clients. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Strategic Behavior and Consolidation in the Agricultural Biotechnology Industry

We develop a model explaining the consolidation patterns in the agricultural biotechnology industry. Among different consolidation and cooperation mechanisms, we consider collaborative and licensing agreements, joint ventures, acquisitions, and exchanges of ownership and spin-offs. The key results derive from the benefits of coordinated actions, distinction between transferable and nontransferable payoffs, the substitutability, complementarity, and the importance of the managers' noncontractible investments, and access and expansion of markets. Results from the model are used to examine the cooperation and consolidation activities for four major players in the agricultural biotechnology industry, DuPont , Dow Chemical , Monsanto , and Novartis .

超产权理论刍议——兼评“超产权论与企业绩效”

产权理论是以产权为基本分析工具来研究企业的治理结构与绩效的关系。而超产权理论试图改变这一基本分析范式,以“竞争性”代替产权作为企业治理结构与绩效的基本分析工具。比较和分析这两种理论可看出,超产权理论所主张的竞争性分析方法并不能取代传统的产权分析,产权结构是决定企业治理结构和绩效的最基本制度因素,产权理论仍然是进行企业分析的合理有效的基本方法。     

When to accept a sequence of gambles

When is a sequence of gambles, which is initially rejected eventually accepted? The eventual acceptance is defined as a pair property between the utility function and the sequences of gambles. A sequence of gambles is accepted when the gambles follow a large deviation principle and the utility function is non-satiated and bounded from below in a certain way. The number of gambles required for acceptance is computed.
