Public Service Leaders as ‘Change Agents’ – for Whom?

Abstract

This article examines how far senior staff in English educational and health service organizations view themselves as leaders who are ‘change agents’ for government-driven reform and independent change agendas. The contribution of external leadership development provision to shaping these self-perceptions is explored. Special attention is paid to national leadership development bodies with different degrees of formal association with government. Whatever this relationship, such provision and other development support apparently reinforced a strong sense of personal agency (choice of action) associated with being a leader, empowering senior staff to adopt a modestly mediatory stance towards both reform and leadership development provision.     

我国保险中介市场问题研究

保险中介是整个保险市场的一个重要的组成部分，它是保险人和投保人之间的纽带和桥梁，对保险运行起着至关重要的作用。但由于历史和现实诸多原因，我国保险中介市场存在许多问题和弊端。本文阐述了保险中介的作用，对我国保险中介市场的发展现状及存在的问题进行了分析，并在此基础上对进一步完善我国保险中介市场提出了几点建议。     

银行信用下借款方还贷的权衡机制探析

以银行为主要中介机构的我国信贷市场不仅贷前存在银行和借款人之间的信息不对称,而且贷后银行和借款人之间也存在着信息不对称性.拥有私人信息的借款人的主观权衡机制对贷款能否按期归还给不拥有私人信息的银行起着重要的作用,从信息不对称的角度对贷后借款人还款的权衡机制进行分析发现,在信贷风险的规避策略上应从借款人的角度出发,而且应从完善银行制度和营造良好的社会环境的两个角度来限制借款人的行动选择.     

借鉴美国经验 完善我国债券结算代理业务

我国债券结算代理业务发展迅速,但也逐渐暴露出结算机制不够完善、客户服务意识不强、产品单一等问题。借鉴美国经验,本文建议建立以中央对手方（CCP）和净额结算为基础的债券结算机制,完善证券托管清算机构组织模式,培育独立评级机构,发展机构投资者,发挥行业自律组织的作用,建立以客户为中心的服务体系。     

Product Market Competition,Managerial Incentives and Firm Valuation

This paper contributes to the very small empirical literature on the effects of competition on managerial incentive schemes. Based on a theoretical model that incorporates both strategic interaction between firms and a principal agent relationship, we analyse the relationship between product market competition, incentive schemes and firm valuation. The model predicts a nonlinear relationship between the intensity of product market competition and the strength of managerial incentives. We test the implications of our model empirically based on a unique and hand‐collected dataset comprising over 600 observations on 200 Swiss firms over the 2002–2005 period. Our results suggest that, consistent with the implications of our model, the relation between product market competition and managerial intensive schemes is convex indicating that above a certain level of intensity in product market competition, the marginal effect of competition on the strength of the incentive schemes increases in the level of competition. Moreover, competition is associated with lower firm values. These results are robust to accounting for a potential endogeneity of managerial incentives and firm value in a simultaneous equations framework.     

智能体响应均衡模型

经济系统是非常复杂的,很难用常规的方法模型进行刻画与模拟。随着计算机技术的发展,以及人工智能、神经网络、模糊数学等方法的创新,计算机智能水平不断提高,这使得计算机模拟复杂经济系统的现象成为可能。基于智能体技术及广义模型,研究了模拟经济运行的思路与方法,提出了智能体响应模型,它可以描绘出经济系统中各种商品的供需曲线、价格曲线、产量产值曲线,可及时更新投入产出表,模拟财政货币政策的实施效果,模拟检验某些经济理论或观点等。     

无磷循环冷却水处理药剂的研究与开发

目前国内的循环水系统普遍使用含磷药剂配方,而含磷废水排放会对水环境造成污染.文章开发了以聚环氧琥珀酸为主要成分的无磷水处理药剂配方,试验表明无磷水处理药剂配方的阻垢缓蚀性能达到了常规有磷药剂的指标,而且可以进一步提高循环水的浓缩倍数,它的应用可以解决循环水磷超标排放的问题.     

政府投资项目代建制模式风险管理研究

植入“过度自信”因素的委托-代理合同研究

传统的委托代理关系研究假设委托人和代理人都是完全理性的,但大量研究表明,双方参与人并非完全理性,最显著的非理性表现就是过度自信。本文将行为经济理论与委托-代理理论相结合,把代理人过度自信的因素引入Holmstorm—Milgrom模型中,对代理人的参与约束条件进行了改进,建立了代理人过度自信情况下的委托-代理模型。研究结果表明,代理人的过度自信水平与代理人的绝对风险规避度和努力成本以及外生不确定性因素有关,代理人适当过度自信将给委托-代理双方带来更高的收益。     

我国行业协会委托代理关系及对策研究
