When work and life boundaries are blurred—P2P accommodation hosts’ work-life integration and consequences

Being a peer-to-peer accommodation host (P2P host) has become a popular career choice in China due to its believed advantages in balancing work and life. This option, however, has blurred the boundary between work and life and has been known to elicit a series of negative consequences in both domains. Building on boundary theory and conservation of resources theory, this study proposed and examined how work-life integration can influence P2P hosts’ perceived work-family conflict, role overload, emotional depletion, and social exchanges with customers. Using data collected from 304 P2P hosts in China, the findings of the study found that work-life integration can lead to higher levels of role overload, work-family conflict, and emotional depletion of hosts, which in turn affect their social exchange with customers.     

要素市场扭曲、交通基础设施改善与企业出口

文章基于Melitz（2003）企业异质性理论构建厂商出口决策模型，利用2005-2007年工业企业数据库，从要素市场扭曲角度分析交通设施影响企业出口的微观机制。研究发现，交通基础设施对企业出口倾向和出口数量具有显著的促进作用，在进入国内市场固定成本大于进入国际市场成本时，地区要素市场扭曲程度越高，交通基础设施的促进作用越明显。聚焦不同所有制的企业可以进一步发现，要素市场扭曲对非国有部门企业的抑制作用更突出，改善交通基础设施通过优化资源配置更有助于带动非国有企业的出口。研究结果还显示，交通基础设施和要素市场扭曲对企业出口的影响存在地区差异，交通基础设施和要素市场扭曲对中西部地区企业出口数量的促进作用比东部地区企业更大。这一结论不受内生性的影响。     

新发展理念指导下青海省经济高质量发展的战略研究

党的十九届四中全会提出"坚持和完善社会主义基本经济制度,推动经济高质量发展""全面贯彻新发展理念,坚持以供给侧结构性改革为主线,加快建设现代化经济体系。"新时期,立足国家经济发展进入新阶段的实际,迈向经济高质量发展的轨道,是符合国情、满足人民美好生活需求的应然之举。青海省经济发展作为国家总体经济不可或缺的动力分支,其高质量发展亦应以新发展理念为指导,坚持以创新发展为第一动力、协调发展为内在要求、绿色发展为基本条件、开放发展为空间拓展、共享发展为初心目的,促进青海省经济总体的质优发展。     

补齐云浮经济发展短板问题研究

云浮市自建市以来，经济社会发展成绩斐然。分析云浮产业发展现状及经济发展环境，发现其经济发展存在着五大短板：产业结构不合理、工业对于经济的拉动作用不强、市场机制作用有限、传统产业发展受限、新兴产业布局进展缓慢。经济动能转换缺乏创新要素投入、产业载体建设滞后、传统产业挤出效应和珠三角虹吸效应明显是短板产生的主要原因。补齐经济发展短板需转变发展方式、构建现代化经济体系、加强产业对接、优化营商环境等。     

Environmental strategy in the global banking industry within the varieties of capitalism approach: The moderating role of gender diversity and board members with specific skills

This research sets out to analyse environmental disclosure in the banking industry by considering the varieties of capitalism framework. This approach is concerned with the way companies interact strategically to resolve coordination issues arising from their operations, and it is supported by prior research. This is a fruitful perspective for exploring the association between country‐level factors and disclosure by firms, such as environmental reporting. This research is based on an international sample of countries operating in coordinated market economies (CMEs) and liberal market economies (LMEs). The results obtained show that financial institutions operating in CME countries are involved in more environmental matters than banks domiciled in LME countries. As regards the moderating variables, the evidence shows that women on the boards of banks in CME countries encourage the reporting of environmental information, as predicted. Nonetheless, and contrary to our expectations, members with specific skills on boards within CME cultures do not favour greater disclosure of environmental information compared with those on boards of banks operating in LME contexts.     

腐败控制、私人部门参与基础设施提供与反贫困效应——来自发展中国家的经验证据(1996-2014)

惩治腐败和消除贫困始终是广大发展中国家面临的重要任务。文章基于1996年到2014年138个发展中国家的数据，探索了腐败控制降低一国贫困率的新机制，即促进私人部门参与基础设施提供。我们发现：第一，腐败控制显著促进了私人部门参与基础设施提供；第二，私人部门参与基础设施提供显著降低了发展中国家的贫困率；第三，"中介效应"分析显示，腐败控制是通过促进私人部门参与基础设施提供进而降低一国贫困率的。文章的发现是对发展中国家腐败与贫困关系研究的一个有益补充，不但有助于理解私人部门参与基础设施提供的制度基础，也有助于发展中国家设计反贫困的公共政策。

The impact of smart meters on residential water consumption: Evidence from a natural experiment in the Canary Islands

Smart meters can promote behavioral changes and water conservation by improving information and providing feedback about water consumption to households. In this paper, we evaluate a large-scale programme implemented by the municipal water company of La Laguna (Tenerife). Exploiting quasi-experimental variation brought about program, we estimate the effect of water meter replacement on measured water consumption and the behavioral effect of the installation of the smart metering technology allowing households to access daily water consumption and real-time feedback through an online portal. Our main empirical analysis employs a difference in differences identification strategy and uses annual consumption data from 51,674 households observed over 10 years. We find a positive effect of water meter replacement on measured water consumption. Our main finding is that providing access to the smart metering technology induces households to reduce consumption by around 2% on average. Our results point to consumers’ engagement with the information portal as the main mechanism behind the observed behavioral response.     

长江流域三大城市群城市专业化格局演进

长江流域在我国经济发展格局中一直居于重要地位。近年来,城市群成为我国区域发展的主要空间形态。城市专业化的发展和格局演化对于城市群的协调发展和一体化进程推进具有重要影响。本文在区分绝对专业化、相对专业化、总体专业化的基础上,运用不同测度方法对长江流域三大城市群的城市专业化演进特征进行分析,研究发现:2003—2015年,长江流域三大城市群的绝对专业化发展较为稳定,整体平均水平缓慢提高;长江流域三大城市群的相对专业化平均水平整体呈一个平缓的倒“U”型提升趋势,表明在此期间,城市间产业分工不断深化,经济联系日益紧密,空间互动日趋频繁,城市群一体化进程逐渐深入;长江流域三大城市群的功能专业化发展较为显著,不同规模城市之间已经形成层次分明的职能分工,特大城市和大中城市依据自身特色,发展特色产业,同时积极承接超大城市和中心城市产业链功能转移和部门转移,聚焦制造功能,形成既有竞争又有合作的良性互动格局。对此,应继续引导长江流域三大城市群优化城市专业化发展格局,增进城市间产业分工、互动与合作,促进城市群健康发育和协调发展。     

基于采购视角的建筑业增值税税收筹划

自正式实施"营改增"政策以来,中国建筑业涉及的主体流转税从营业税转化为增值税,对建筑业产生较大的影响.在经营过程中,建筑业通过选择拆分合同项目、选择甲供工程的计税方法、选择物料的供货渠道以及选择劳务用工形式进行采购环节的税收筹划,以减轻整体税负,促进自身可持续发展.
