The Application of Mathematical Programming Approaches to Estimating Container Port Production Efficiency

Container terminal production is both an important and complicated element in the contemporary global economy. This paper aims to evaluate the efficiency of the world’s most important container ports and terminals using the two alternative techniques of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Free Disposal Hull (FDH) model. The results give an insight into the current efficiency ranking of the world’s major container ports and terminals. They also confirm expectations that the available mathematical programming methodologies lead to different results and that appropriate variable definition of input and output factors is a crucial element in meaningful applications of DEA and FDH. It is also concluded that the availability of panel data, rather than cross-sectional data would greatly improve the validity of the efficiency estimates derived from all the mathematical programming techniques applied.JEL Classification:C61, D24, E23, L23, L25, L92

可转换债券市场价格与其基准股票市盈率关系初探

本文试图探讨可转换债券市场价格与其基准股票市盈率间的关系。从理论上分析,市盈率作为一个较易获得的市场指标,包含了上市公司增长机会(growth opportunity)的信息,反映了投资者对未来股价上升的预期。同时可转换债券的价格对其基准股票价格未来上升的可能性十分敏感,因此市盈率与可转换债券市场价格间应存在一定关系。但根据对上海证券交易所转债的实证分析得到:目前我国转债的市场价格与其基准股票市盈率间的关系并不显著,因而市盈率指标不能作为判断转债投资价值的有效依据。     

出资人监管模式的理性选择：基于层次分析法的思考

综观我国当前许多地方在国有资产出资人监管模式的具体应用上,可谓多种多样,不少地方也在反复斟酌何种模式更能扬长避短。本文将目前存在的监管模式大致归纳为四种形式,即通过出资人对所出资企业组建或强化董事会的建设与运行、通过出资人外部派驻监事会、通过出资人委派财务总监,以及完全在公司法框架下全面重申和强化”三会”模式。本文根据出资人监管模式在监管独立性、监管效力性、监管持续性以及监管节约性四个方面的系统性特征,利用专门解决定性与定量交织问题的层次分析法,对决策行为的优化进行模拟量化比较,从而为理性优选出资人监管模式创建了一个新的思路。     

基于Fuzzy层次分析法的CPFR评价体系研究

CPFR是一种协同式的供应链库存管理技术,建立在JMI和VMI的最佳分级实践基础上,能同时降低分销商的存货量,增加供应商的销售量。在深入研究了CPFR模型及内部结构的基础上,利用先进的Fuzzy-AHP方法对CPFR进行了评价体系模型的构建。基于新方法的评价结果比原有的经典方法更准确、更人性化,对于解读和应用CPFR技术具有重要的现实意义。     

A note on the projection properties of Hadamard matrices obtained by the first Payley construction

We show that the projections on four factors of an arbitrary orthogonal array of strength 2 allow the estimation of main effects and two-factor interactions when all other effects are assumed to be zero, if those projections satisfy the bounds given by Weils theorem. The only exceptions are the Hadamard matrices of orders 16 and 24. A consequence is again the estimability of main effects and two-factor interactions for the projections on four factors of the first Payley construction for arbitrary run size.

Chance Constrained Programming Formulations for Stochastic Characterizations of Efficiency and Dominance in DEA

Pareto-Koopmans efficiency in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is extended to stochastic inputs and outputs via probabilistic input-output vector comparisons in a given empirical production (possibility) set. In contrast to other approaches which have used Chance Constrained Programming formulations in DEA, the emphasis here is on joint chance constraints. An assumption of arbitrary but known probability distributions leads to the P-Model of chance constrained programming. A necessary condition for a DMU to be stochastically efficient and a sufficient condition for a DMU to be non-stochastically efficient are provided. Deterministic equivalents using the zero order decision rules of chance constrained programming and multivariate normal distributions take the form of an extended version of the additive model of DEA. Contacts are also maintained with all of the other presently available deterministic DEA models in the form of easily identified extensions which can be used to formalize the treatment of efficiency when stochastic elements are present.
