Illusory Price Increases after the Euro Changeover in Germany: An Expectancy-Consistent Bias

The aim of the present report is to review research demonstrating the role played by expectations for observed illusory price increases after the euro introduction in Germany. In laboratory experiments when participants are asked to estimate price changes in a restaurant following the euro introduction, the price estimates are found to be biased in the direction of the expectation of rising prices. The research also examines the extent to which a similar judgment bias is evident in other areas and how interventions counteract the bias. A further focus of the research is on the underlying process. In this respect the results show that the bias is based on a selective outcome correction process not previously described. Theoretical implications and practical implications for consumer policy issues are highlighted.

对外贸易与经济增长关系的实证分析--以山东省为例

对外贸易对经济增长的促进作用因不同的经济条件而有所不同。运用协整理论和误差修正模型，对山东省经济增长与对外贸易的相关性和因果关系进行实证检验的结果表明，山东省经济增长与出口和进口之间存在着长期的稳定关系，无论在短期内还是长期内，三个变量两两之间都具有显著的双向格兰杰因果关系，因此应继续坚定出口导向型的外向发展战略。     

对我国利率、投资、储蓄和货币供给量的协整与误差修正分析

理清中国的利率、投资、储蓄和货币供给量四个宏观经济指标之间的关系,对我国进行有效的调控具有很重要的意义。对以上四个指标进行协整和误差修正分析,判断它们的长期和短期关系。结果显示:从长期来看,这四个宏观经济变量存在很强的协整关系,且在短期范围内,这种关系对利率短期波动的影响是显著的。     

基于TLS的主动全向声呐浮标目标定位与跟踪

采用最小二乘(LS)拟和法进行主动全向浮标目标定位时容易受测量误差的影响,为此提出一种基于总体最小二乘法(TLS)的定位算法,首先对主动全向浮标的定位方程和测速方程进行变换形成线性的量测方程,然后利用潜艇测距误差和浮标定位误差的随机性,基于总体最小二乘法对量测方程进行递归解算,解算过程根据潜艇运动的物理限制,取运动模型的状态预测值作为递归过程的初值,最终实现了测量误差平滑化和航迹的整体优化。仿真结果显示算法较之最小二乘法具有更好的抑制噪声能力和机动目标跟踪能力。     

一种适用于机场场面监视MLAT系统的状态模型

根据直角坐标系的目标运动模型和无源多点时差定位系统(MLAT)的特点,推导出了一种到达时间差（TDOA)状态模型方程,并基于该模型方程,设计了一种TDOA跟踪滤波器。与传统TDOA状态模型方程相比,所推导出的状态模型方程和滤波器不但能提高TDOA的估计精度,还可更有效地消除非视距（NLOS）成分。仿真和实测数据证实了所推导状态模型方程和所设计跟踪滤波器的有效性。     

全国农村与城镇居民人均收入的协整分析

中国农村居民人均收入和城镇居民人均收入的关系,反映了中国乡镇经济的基本特征。运用协整分析方法和误差修正模型理论,对1978—2010年全国农村居民人均收入和城镇居民人均收入的年度数据进行实证分析,分析结果表明,中国农村居民人均收入和城镇居民人均收入之间存在着一个长期稳定的均衡关系,并且建立协整模型和误差修正模型,采用Granger因果检验,得出城镇居民人均收入是农村居民人均收入的原因,并从研究结论中提出针对性的建议。     

基于扩展审计博弈的动态均值估计抽样方法

针对均值估计抽样方法的缺陷,以审计风险为中心,将扩展审计博弈与审计抽样相结合,提出了一种改进的均值估计抽样方法。该方法解决了审计风险计量、审计抽样的系统性决策问题,可帮助审计师在不确定条件下进行策略分析与选择,提高了均值估计抽样的可靠性和适用性。最后,用实例演示均值估计抽样过程以证实该方法的有效性。     

Modelling the housing market in OECD countries

Recent episodes of housing bubbles, which occurred in several economies after the burst of the United States housing market, suggest studying the evolution of housing prices from a global perspective. We utilise a theoretical model for the purposes of this contribution, which identifies the main drivers of housing price appreciation, such as, for example, income, residential investment, financial elements, fiscal policy and demographics. In a second stage of our analysis, we test our theoretical hypothesis by means of a sample of 18 OECD countries from 1970 to 2011. We employ the vector error correction econometric technique in terms of our empirical analysis, which permits us to model the long-run equilibrium relationship and the short-run dynamics, which also helps to account for endogeneity and reverse causality problems.     

How Online Product Reviews Affect Retail Sales: A Meta-analysis

A growing body of research has emerged on online product reviews and their ability to elicit performance outcomes desired by retailers; yet, a common understanding of the performance implications of online product reviews has eluded us. Scholars continue to navigate an array of studies assessing different design elements of online product reviews, and various research settings and data sources. We undertake a meta-analysis of 26 empirical studies yielding 443 sales elasticities to examine how these variables relate to retail sales. Building on well-established meta-analytical methods, we address the following questions: How does review valence influence the elasticity of retailer sales? What about review volume? For which product types and usage situations do online product reviews have a greater impact on retailer sales elasticity? Which types of online reviewers and websites exert the greatest influence on retailer sales elasticity? Our study answers these important questions and provides a much needed quantitative synthesis of this burgeoning stream of research.
