The hidden value of air transportation infrastructure

Air transportation is a key strategic asset in that it provides access to markets and thereby enables the economic development of nations. Thus, in order to maintain their competitiveness in a global economy, countries must invest in air transportation infrastructure to ensure their ability to meet current and future demand for aviation services. The objective of this paper is to develop and illustrate a methodology for evaluating the strategic value of air transportation infrastructure, in particular the benefits associated with the ability to react quickly to changes in the market. The hypothesis is that by recognizing and taking advantage of this strategic value, it may be possible to design better policies for aviation infrastructure delivery.The methodology developed here uses system dynamics to model different strategies for infrastructure delivery. These strategies are defined by three variables: the amount of capacity increase, the time to deliver the capacity and the congestion threshold that triggers the need for capacity delivery. Monte Carlo simulation is used to take into account multiple sources of uncertainty. The model shows that a strategy of capacity delivery based on small increments and short response times can yield more benefits than strategies that consider large capacity increases and long response times. Furthermore, in the specific airport example considered here, it was found that a congestion threshold of 75% should be the trigger for capacity enlargements if strategies based on small capacity increments and 1 or 5 years to increase capacity are considered. The lesson for decision-makers is that congestion delays must be addressed with foresight.     

旅游资源价值评估问题探析

旅游资源价值评估是目前旅游资源学、资源经济学和环境经济学等学科研究的热点和难点。本文在介绍旅游资源价值评估的理论基础上,回顾了旅游资源价值评估的国内外研究进展,详细介绍了TCM和CVM两种经典评估模型,并在此基础上提出了目前旅游资源价值评估存在的三大问题：第一,旅游资源价值构成体系尚未形成统一的认识,本文在参考已有的价值分类系统基础上,提出了旅游资源价值构成体系；第二,现有价值评估方法有待深入研究,本文指出了旅行费用法(TCM)和条件价值法(CVM)两种经典评估模型的不足；第三,旅游资源价值动态变化的影响因子体系尚未明确。     

Researching Preferences,Valuation and Hypothetical Bias

A number of recent papers in environmental economics have focused on the process of researching preferences – agents are uncertain about preferences but with effort may narrow their uncertainty. This issue has arisen in formulating bids in contingent valuation (CV) as well as the debate over the divergence between WTP and WTA. In the context of CV, it has been suggested that the hypothetical nature of the preference elicitation process biases responses. This paper provides both a theoretical model and experimental evidence to contribute to this debate. The model is a model of competitive bidding for a private good with two components that are particularly relevant to the debate. The first component is that bidders are unsure of their own value for the private good but may purchase information about their own value (researching preferences). The second component is that there is a probability that the auction is hypothetical – that the winning bidder will not get the private good and will not pay the winning bid. The experiment tests this theoretical model of bidding equilibrium and analyzes the effects of variations in the parameters (hypotheticalness, information costs and number of agents) on the endogenous variables (such as the proportion of bidders who become informed and the winning bid). Experimental results suggest that an increase in the hypotheticalness of an auction tends to decrease the likelihood that bidders pay for information on their valuation with an ambiguous effect on the winning bid.      

客户关系管理中的价值研究框架分析

价值研究是客户关系管理研究中基础而关键的问题。现有的价值研究多半是基于企业信息完全的假设上的,但是这个假设在实践中往往很难成立。因此很有必要讨论在信息不完全和不对称的环境下价值信息的获取。可以利用信息经济学中的契约设计的原理在信息不对称的环境下获取客户价值信息。     

企业网络组织协同竞争的理论与效应解析

竞争与合作相统一的协同竞争已成为企业网络竞争战略发展的必然趋势。通过对企业网络组织协同竞争研究脉络的梳理，可构建协同竞争研究的评析架构。其理论演进是：以系统思维作为理论逻辑的基点，以合作竞争为行动策略，以价值创造作为网络协同竞争的本质属性；在实践效应上，协同竞争具有提升竞争优势的特征，而博弈模型对协同效应发挥着解析工具的作用。

浅谈价值工程与企业基本战略管理

价值工程(VE)作为一种系统化的管理技术,在企业生产和经营管理中都取得了显著的效果。并且随着时代的发展,应用范围将更加广泛。而企业的战略对企业的经营和发展都起着至关重要的作用,特别是在经济全球化的今天,把价值工程理论运用到企业的基本战略管理中,有利于企业提高效益,创造顾客价值、企业价值和社会价值。     

客户价值的评估方法

关系营销关注的是客户保留,企业要与顾客保持良好的客户关系。作为以赢利为目的的组织,企业很显然应把主要精力放在维护能给企业带来最大利益的客户关系上。本文介绍了几种评价客户关系价值的方法,并讨论了它们各自的缺陷,提出反映客户关系风险水平的经济价值评估法是对客户关系价值的更好的评价方法;同时指出,即使是经济价值评估法也有缺陷,客户关系的总价值应包括经济价值和很难用经济指标衡量的关系利益。最后提出了管理客户关系以最大化客户关系价值的几点建议。
