劳工标准全球化对中国私营企业劳资关系的影响——基于博弈论的分析

笔者基于博弈论的分析发现目前中国的劳动力供给仍然过剩,劳动密集型产业还处于过度竞争的状态,所以劳工标准全球化对中国私营企业劳动者权益保护难以起到实质性的作用。在中国劳动密集型产业中培养名牌企业和形成垄断竞争的市场结构,有利于劳工标准全球化发挥保护中国私营企业劳动者权益的作用。     

核电：工业重工化发展模式下基荷低碳能源的选择

中国的低碳发展模式需要兼顾两个方面的因素,一是经济的可持续发展,一是寻求低碳能源对发展的支撑,当前在中国能够大规模建造的低碳能源,除了水电和部分新能源外,核电在低碳能源选择中扮演着重要的角色。在分析中国经济重工化演进中电力消耗、电源结构特征的基础上,建立发展中国家经济发展与电力生产碳排放的脱钩模型,提出在低碳经济发展模式下,支撑中国经济重工化发展的高电力需求与大规模低碳电源要求的悖论,分析核电的碳排放以及核电作为主要大规模低碳基荷电源的原因,并基于结合外部成本比较核电与煤电经济性。     

浅析知识产权保护中混合策略纳什均衡模型的应用

知识产权保护不但受制于立法的完善和执法的力度,而且取决于自觉维权的意识和守法的环境。我国企业和科研机构知识产权保护意识薄弱,缺乏维护自身合法权益的能力,尊重他人知识产权的观念尚未形成社会主流。本文运用博弈论方法,分析了一个知识产权保护博弈案例中的混合策略纳什均衡解,得出从增加知识产权主体自觉维权意识和加大侵权者成本两方面实现知识产权有效保护的结论。

复杂适应系统理论在股市模拟中的应用

资本市场是由金融产品提供者(如上市公司)、交易所和投资者组成的系统。随着经济的不断发展,股票市场已成为我国资本市场中最活跃、发展最快速的市场,因此它也成为众多专家学者研究的焦点。传统的金融学理论对于股票市场中许多普遍存在的特征性事实,如尖峰胖尾、波动聚集等现象难以解释。与此同时,传统的线性数学分析方法也陷入了前所未有困境。在环境的要求下,复杂适应系统理论在金融学中的应用所具备的优势逐渐显露出来。     

Expenditure elasticities of the demand for leisure services

Although some research has already focused on the analysis of expenditure elasticities of leisure demand, some shortcomings with regard to the content and the underlying theoretical model as well as the applied methods exist. This article aims at avoiding these problems to provide consistent derivatives of leisure service expenditure elasticities. Therefore, a regular demand system is derived from microeconomic duality theory. To implement leisure specific demand factors (i.e. demand- and supply-based sports and recreational opportunities as well as sports and recreational preferences) while still being consistent with neoclassical demand theory, the basic model is extended by applying the demographic translation framework. Data of the continuous household budget survey (n?=?7724) from Germany is used for the estimation of the derived demand system. It is shown how sensitive the results are depending on the applied (censored) regression model: 16 out of 18 analysed services are indicated as luxury goods based on the findings of the Tobit model type I but as necessities based on the findings of the Tobit model type II. Possible implications are presented and discussed.     

Abstraction and product categories as explanatory variables for food consumption

This study sets out to explore variation in the consumer choice structure in relation to three types of products with different levels of search, experience and credence attributes. The decision structures of rice, wine and functional food (experience, search and credence products) consumers were explored by means of laddering. The results suggest the presence of an emotional component in foods that increases in complexity (becomes more abstract) with the number of credence attributes. The findings recommend adjusting the complexity of advertising campaigns and product positioning to the type of product being promoted.     

Book and Film Reviews

Economic theory as applied to the family should increase our understanding of the phenomena we are studying, and allow us to implement fruitful intervention in cases where we are not satisfied with what is occurring. Much if not all of the theory of the family fails to achieve these aims. Examples are given from the most recent edition of Gary Becker's Theory of the Family, where the analysis leads to conclusions that are, on their face, preposterous. This kind of theorizing leads, as does almost all neoclassical theory, to a conclusion that the institutions depicted are benign, and that government intervention would be useless at best and probably harmful. But it isn't necessarily so.     

Skidelsky's Keynes: a review essay

Abstract

The paper examines the pro-work doctrines of four writers who were connected with the ‘utopian’ and ‘romantic’ critique of classical economics in the nineteenth century. These authors are Charles Fourier, Thomas Carlyle, John Ruskin, and William Morris. All four argued that the problem of work aversion stemmed from the existing institutions of capitalist society, and could be overcome by the creation of an alternative system of production. Their aim was to create a future society in which work could be experienced as a positive activity. The paper argues that the views of the aforementioned authors provided an important counterchallenge to the classical economists' conception of work as a disutility.     

Some microfoundations of Austrian economics: Böhm-Bawerk's version

This paper investigates Böohm-Bawerk's version of Austrian microeconomics. It draws some comparisons with Carl Menger's programmatic work on the principles of economic theory which originally established a distinctive Austrian tradition. Böhm-Bawerk's microeconomics is also considered against the background of contemporary Walrasian, Edgeworthian and Marshallian thought as well as twentieth-century work on the theory of games. Böhm-Bawerk offers a theory of micro-structural dynamics. His emphasis on intentionality and imagination in value creation, the scope for bargaining and strategic behaviour in his theory of markets and the avowed indeterminacies and equilibrating tendencies in his theory of price formation, are all consistent with other first-generation Austraian contributions. There is nothing especially Walrasian or Marshallian about Böhm-Bawer's. microeconomics
