集聚度、社会资本对企业绩效的影响研究

尽管有研究表明社会资本与服务业集聚是服务企业绩效提升的关键因素,吸收能力在社会资本和集聚在企业绩效之间起了中介作用,却鲜有文献深入揭示社会资本、集聚、吸收能力以及企业绩效运作机理。以广东为主的129家服务企业为样本,采用结构方程对其进行实证分析。结果显示,内部社会资本与实现吸收能力显著正相关;集聚度与企业潜在吸收能力显著正相关;外部社会资本与潜在吸收能力以及实现吸收能力均显著正相关。内部社会资本与外部社会资本有共生关系;集聚度与外部社会资本有共生关系,与内部社会资本无显著正相关关系;集聚度及社会资本通过吸收能力中介作用影响企业绩效。     

社会保障的新理念与中国农民扶持性社会保障体制

中国的市场化改革使广大的中国农民直接暴露在现代市场经济风险下,而家庭联产承包制的实施又使改革开放前与计划经济体制相适应的保障体制无法运转,这样,中国广大农民成为了现代市场经济中最没有保障的弱势群体。因此,建立农民社会保障体系的意义重大。中国农民社会保障体制迟迟没有建立的原因有二:其一,传统社会保障理念仅考虑到其工具价值,忽视了其目的价值;其二,农民的组织化程度低,导致他们在社会利益分割过程中没有谈判地位。从建立农民社会保障体制的双重价值出发,建立保障农民生存权和基本发展权的农民扶持性社会保障体制具有重要意义。     

企业社会责任的价值创造研究——一个三维概念模型的构建

20世纪中期以来,企业社会责任的研究在全球范围内兴起。伴随半个多世纪的争议与讨论,企业应该履行社会责任的观念得到广泛认可,但碍于其所需付出的成本,管理者却普遍缺乏动力。以往的研究虽然致力于在企业社会责任和经济绩效之间建立相关关系,但结论并不一致,其原因主要在于二者之间的作用机理尚未揭示出来。本文认为企业社会责任不仅不是企业成本的沉重负担,反而是构成企业价值创造系统的重要组成部分。文章分析了企业社会责任对当前价值、未来价值和潜在价值的作用机理,提出了一个三维价值创造的概念模型,将该领域研究的零散内容系统化,为企业管理者提供了履行社会责任的理论支撑。     

Information design,externalities, and government interventions

We consider a model of Bayesian persuasion with spillovers. A sender provides information to persuade a receiver to take an action with external effects. We consider how government interventions, including corrective subsidy and tax, affect social welfare. In addition to internalizing externalities, government interventions affect social welfare through an informational channel. Subsidies to the sender's preferred action incentivize the sender to reveal less information, but taxes on the sender's preferred action incentivize the sender to reveal more information. Because of such an informational effect, the optimal subsidy and tax may be different from the size of the externalities. In some cases, social welfare is maximized with no government intervention.     

Connecting strategic orientation,innovation strategy,and corporate sustainability: A model for sustainable development through stakeholder engagement

This paper aims to enhance our understanding of the relationship between organizations' strategic orientation (i.e., instrumental, equidistant, and stewardship) and their innovational strategy (i.e., organizational ambidexterity and open innovation), and this relationship's influence on their sustainability performance. We expected organizations' strategic orientation to influence their innovational strategy and exhibit better corporate sustainability. We focused on 12 different multinational organizations in the Eurozone and found that inbound open innovation acts as a driver for corporate sustainability while simultaneously positively enabling organizations to pursue both financial and social initiatives. After suggesting open innovation as a new corporate sustainability antecedent, we only found empirical evidence of inbound open innovation. However, we would suggest that if organizations incorporated outbound open innovation in their strategy, they could likely improve their corporate sustainability. Also, we found that achieving an equidistant or stewardship orientation paves the way for sustainability to become an integral part of an organization's innovational culture and actualizes the organization's strategic behavior. Our findings further contribute to a deeper understanding of organizations' characteristics as their sustainability commitment grows and as they move from an instrumental to a stewardship orientation and implement an open innovational strategy.     

Social Capital,Investment and Economic Growth: Some Evidence for Spanish Provinces

Abstract

This article analyses the impact of social capital on regional economic growth in Spain during the 1985–2005 period. The literature in this context is virtually nonexistent and, in addition, whereas most studies, regardless of their context, have used survey data in order to measure social capital, we use a measure whose construction is based on similar criteria to other measures of capital stock. Compared with more standard measures of social capital and trust, our measure is available with a high level of disaggregation, and with annual frequency for a long time period. Following a panel data approach, our findings indicate that social capital has a positive impact on GDP per capita growth in the context of Spanish provinces, implying that ‘social features’ are important for explaining the differences in wealth that one might find across Spanish provinces. We also explore the transmission mechanisms from social capital to growth, finding a highly positive relation between social capital and private physical investment.     

Income Disparity, Inequity Aversion and the Design of the Healthcare System

An ex post social welfare function is used to evaluate alternative healthcare systems. If a society is averse to inequality and there is some income disparity, social welfare under private healthcare insurance is sometimes higher and sometimes lower than social welfare under public healthcare. However, a third system—public healthcare with the option to purchase supplemental healthcare insurance—is always socially preferred to private healthcare insurance. Moreover, it is either socially preferred to public healthcare or equivalent to it.

我国农村社会保障水平与工业化、城镇化水平关系的研究——基于中国23个省份面板数据的实证研究

随着我国工业化、城镇化进程的加快,农村经济社会的发展越来越受到人们的关注,农村社会保障水平是否随着工业化、城镇化水平的提高而提高是一个值得探讨的问题,具有非常重要的现实意义,但我国还未有相应的研究。利用23个省份的面板数据,采用横截面数据分析方法,分析工业化、城镇化水平的提高对我国农村社会保障水平的影响。得出的结论为:城镇化进程促进了我国农村社会保障水平的提高,而工业化进程则抑制其提高。
