The Measurement of Consumption Efficiency Considering the Discrete Choice of Consumers

In this study we propose a mathematical definition of the consumption efficiency of multi-attribute products in the price–quality space. A new model, the discrete Range Adjusted Measure (RAM) model, is suggested as an empirical tool to measure the level of consumption efficiency. We further discuss the effect of consumption efficiency on the innovation incentive. Empirical work is made for the mobile phone market. We expect that the consumption efficiency concept will contribute to the extension of the traditional framework of production efficiency analysis on the one hand and to the understanding of the nature of innovation in a technology-intensive market on the other hand.JEL Classification: C67, D11, D12, D21     

A two-stage stratified Warner’s randomized response model using optimal allocation

This paper applies Kim and Wardes (2004) stratified Warners randomized response model to Mangat and Singhs (1990) two-stage randomized response model. The proposed stratified randomized response model has an optimal allocation and a large gain in precision. Hence, the estimator based on the proposed method is more efficient than Kim and Wardes (2004) and Mangat and Singhs (1990) estimators under the conditions presented in both the case of completely truthful reporting and that of not completely truthful reporting by the respondents.     

Binary effectivity rules

A social choice rule (SCR) is a collection of social choice correspondences, one for each agenda. An effectivity rule is a collection of effectivity functions, one for each agenda. We prove that every monotonic and superadditive effectivity rule is the effectivity rule of some SCR. A SCR is binary if it is rationalized by an acyclic binary relation. The foregoing result motivates our definition of a binary effectivity rule as the effectivity rule of some binary SCR. A binary SCR is regular if it satisfies unanimity, monotonicity, and independence of infeasible alternatives. A binary effectivity rule is regular if it is the effectivity rule of some regular binary SCR. We characterize completely the family of regular binary effectivity rules. Quite surprisingly, intrinsically defined von Neumann–Morgenstern solutions play an important role in this characterization.

煤炭资源型城市聚集经济与城市化水平研究

运用可变权系数综合评价模型对2002年中国煤炭资源型城市城市化水平进行测度;基于1999～2002年度煤炭城市面板数据,应用随机效应模型估计煤炭城市聚集经济水平;结果表明,我国煤炭城市城市空间经济结构效率和其城市化水平并不具有正相关性,许多城市化水平相对较高的煤炭城市的聚集经济较差,并没有显示出城市化经济的优势.     

2005年人民币汇率制度改革效应实证分析

本文发现，迄今为止人民币汇率的走势实际上是一个有“突变”现象的“随机游走”过程，这种“突变”可以解释为在严格外汇管制条件下人民币长期积聚的升值压力的一次释放；特别地，2005年7月21日的汇率改革是卓有成效的，它通过加快进口增长和减缓出口增长弱化了人民币进一步升值的压力。文章进而指出，在有效监控投机资金和预防投机冲击的国内机制建立之前，“爬行式钉住汇率”是我国当前汇率政策的最佳选择，而不是简单地放宽人民币对美元汇率的浮动范围。

工程项目投标阶段的风险决策方法研究

文章根据工程项目投标阶段风险决策的内容和特点，在考虑纯风险和投机风险的基础上，从单项风险入手，运用区间数和区间概率的性质，先描述各个风险要素，然后进行单项风险对策间的对比择优，并将其结果对应于方案、进度、成本费用及投标报价总风险补偿费的确定，最终实现承包商的风险成本最小化。
