装备采办效益优化研究:一个交易费用理论视角

交易费用理论指出,交易成本是制度的运行成本,其大小取决于交易形式与其制度的匹配程度,两者越匹配则其交易成本越小。从交易费用理论入手,通过分析装备采办成本的构成及决定因素,指出装备采办效益优化的关键在于选择和建立合理的制度以尽可能地降低采办的交易成本,即制度因素是我国装备采办低效的症结。在此思路下,探究了我国装备采办制度的不合理之处,并提出相应的政策建议。

An environmental performance index for products reflecting damage costs

Several studies have demonstrated how to use DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) based techniques to estimate environmental performance indices. None of these studies, however, are taking information on the environmental damage costs of the pressure types considered into account. This study is bridging a gap between environmental indices founded in physical pressures and damage costs founded in welfare economics. The aim of the paper is twofold: first, to demonstrate how to implement the information on environmental damage costs within a DEA based environmental performance index, and second, to estimate these indices at product level by using Danish input-output data and environmental data from 1997.     

Time is not money

In an ultimatum bargaining experiment, we study how subjects bargain over the returns to their investments of money and time. The most notable finding is that a third of the subjects demand no compensation for their time investments, whereas almost all subjects demand compensation for equally costly monetary investments.     

A two-stage translog marginal cost pricing approach for Floridian hospital outputs

Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010, issues still remain regarding the mandated purchase of insurance to ensure more universal coverage. One such issue is the pricing of these insurance packages and whether or not the reimbursements will cover necessary services. Therefore, policy concerns exist that increasing the number of insured individuals may not curtail costs. Conversely, providers may not wish to treat patients covered by excessively frugal plans such as Medicaid; hence the trade-offs between access and cost control. In this article, we present findings from a cost function and a productivity approach to determine the marginal cost of providing inpatient hospital care for hospitals operating in Florida during 2005. Using these methodological approaches, we are able to use the marginal rate of transformation to determine the relative marginal costs while controlling for hospital technical and allocative inefficiency. Our work differs from earlier articles as we avoid the Greene problem for cross-sectional models through a two-step approach. By including both reimbursement rates under conditions of hospital efficiency, we can ascertain payment schemes that should, at least in theory, cover necessary costs for patient care without leading to excessive input usage.     

企业品牌资产交易费用本质及其双边投资模型

分析了企业品牌资产交易费用的本质,指出,品牌资产核心功能是降低交易费用,消费者专用资产与企业产品市场占有率相交时,品牌投资有均衡解。从微观意义看,品牌资产由消费者专用资产构成,企业品牌投资不仅仅是增加产品销售量,更重要的是增加消费者的专用资产。从社会角度看,品牌资产构建了一个不是由企业主而是由消费者分散决策的效率机制,保护这一效率机制的有效运行是政府的重要职责。     

交易成本、禀赋效应与国有股权转让定价——兼论国有企业混合所有制改革的新思路

国有企业混合所有制改革是积极发展混合所有制经济的关键,完善的定价机制有助于推进国有企业混合所有制改革。国有股转让过程中存在大量的交易成本,扭曲了定价体系。基于科斯定理,可以发现,明晰产权是优化定价体系有效途径。但是,禀赋效应的存在,使得科斯定理无法完全解决国有股转让定价问题。对此,需要采取市场和非市场的政策组合,以此来完善国有股转让定价机制,推进国有企业混合所有制改革。
