Spatial interaction modeling of interregional commodity flows

Drawing from both the spatial price equilibrium theoretical framework and the empirical literature on spatial interaction modeling, this paper expands models of interregional commodity flows (CFs) by incorporating new variables and using a flexible Box-Cox functional form. The 1993 US commodity flows survey provides the empirical basis for estimating state-to-state flow models for 16 commodity groups over the 48 continental US states. The optimized Box-Cox specification proves to be superior to the multiplicative one in all cases, while selected variables provide new insights into the determinants of state-to-state CFs.     

Why Do Women Wait? Matching, Wage Inequality, and the Incentives for Fertility Delay

This paper explores the interaction between wage inequality and the marriage and fertility decisions of young women. We develop an equilibrium search model of marriage, divorce, and investment in children that allows for differential timing of fertility. We show how patterns of fertility timing in U.S. data can be explained by the incentives for fertility delay implied by marriage and labor markets. We find that these incentives help explain both the cross-sectional relationship between women's wages and fertility timing and the changes over the past 40 years in married women's fertility timing and labor supply.

A tale of two crises: Federal transfers and regional economies in Russia in 2009 and 2014–2015

We examine transfers from Russia’s federal government to the regions during the two recent economic crises. We show that while federal transfers in 2009 were large and targeted poorer regions, the 2014–2015 transfers were much smaller and not targeted. This policy shift was accompanied by a relatively greater decline in own revenues in the poorer regions and their worse economic performance overall. As a result, interregional budget expenditure inequality in Russia was significantly higher in 2014–2015 than it had been for years. This is important because regional budgets are responsible for a large share of investments, housing, education and healthcare.     

We share; we connect: how shared brand consumption influences relational brand connections

This research examines how married consumers form relational brand connections. Findings from two studies contribute to research on identity‐related brand consumption by showcasing how shared brand consumption and marital satisfaction influence relational brand connections and the perceived importance of the brand to the marital relationship. This research has important theoretical contributions and managerial implications. From a theoretical perspective, the authors show how consumers incorporate brands into their interpersonal relationships through shared brand consumption and that relational brand connections influence brand‐related outcomes, such as brand attitudes, purchase intentions, brand affect, and brand separation distress. From a managerial perspective, the findings highlight the importance of considering relational aspects of brand consumption when designing branding strategy and advertising appeals.     

Interregional Migration and Thresholds: Evidence from Spain

We analyse the effects of labour market factors on interregional migration in Spain for the period 1988–2010. A basic theoretical framework is developed, suggesting that the effect of labour market variables on migration varies, depending on a certain threshold. The model implications are tested using a new approach based on the presence of endogenous thresholds. We show that Spanish interregional migration can be explained by labour market variables when the labour market conditions at the source region are unfavourable relative to those of the host region. We test the results for several migrant characteristics, such as citizenship, the age range, and return migration.

地区差距、要素流动与财政分权

本文在财政分权框架下引入不完全人口流动和内生劳动供给选择 ,针对两个不对称的地方经济 ,研究了政府的最优税收、最优公共支出和最优转移支付政策。我们发现了零中央政府收入税和逆向财政缺口 ,在有限政策工具的约束下 ,对应性转移支付也具有缩小区域差距的功能。不同级别政府间的服务竞争和税收竞争极大地影响了个人和政府的最优决策 ,拥挤效应和实际禀赋效应放大了通常意义上的收入效应水平。人口流动和财政分权提高了低生产力地区的福利 ,数值模拟分析结果表明高生产力、高禀赋地区对低生产力、低禀赋地区存在隐性的区域间收入再分配 ,中央政府的干预措施一般具有协调区域发展、补贴低生产力低禀赋地区的性质。结合我国东西部的经济现实 ,我们认为中央政府应该打破已有的利益分配格局 ,优化转移支付资金的结构 ,提高财政政策效率     

《葛特露与克劳狄斯》中两性婚姻观之比较

约翰·厄普代克以女性视角为莎剧《哈姆莱特》撰写了一部“前传”——《葛特露与克劳狄斯》,将关注中心由男性转换为女性,建构了一个具有女性话语特征的文本。葛特露在读者眼中化身为冲破世俗观念追求婚姻自由与幸福的代表。但事实上,在与克劳狄斯的婚姻中,她并未摆脱与老哈姆莱特王婚姻中被利用的命运,再次成为男性,尤其是“政客”达到政治目的的筹码。     

论婚姻家庭中夫妻话语冲突及其应对策略

夫妻话语冲突在我国普遍存在,它是造成婚姻家庭成员之间不和谐的主要因素。作为话语研究中新的课题,国外研究者对夫妻话语冲突问题进行了大量研究,但还没有引起国内研究者的足够重视。夫妻话语冲突不仅直接影响两性和谐、婚姻质量,也间接影响孩子的成长与健康发展。本文拟结合语言学、心理学、社会学的相关理论观点,从表现、成因及应对三方面探讨我国婚姻家庭中夫妻话语冲突问题。     

区际产业转移与区域创新系统耦合研究

在对区际产业转移与区域创新系统耦合特征分析的基础上,根据系统动力学原理与方法,从区际产业转移与区域创新系统耦合要素因果关系出发,建立区际产业转移与区域创新系统要素耦合的SD模型,并应用Vensim PLE对模型进行检验及仿真分析。结果发现,在欠发达地区承接产业转移过程中,加强中介机构、高校和科研院所的实力有助于提高区域创新能力。此外,产业转移技术水平对区域创新能力的影响比较复杂,在创新投入方面需要制定有针对性的产业技术转移政策。
