Stranger-danger? Understanding the moderating effects of children in the household on non-hosting residents' emotional solidarity with Airbnb visitors,feeling safe,and support for Airbnb

Airbnb has been portrayed as making neighborhoods significantly less safe where hosts are operating. However, the evidence has been mainly anecdotal. The present study developed a model of non-hosting residents' emotional solidarity with Airbnb visitors, their sense of feeling safe, and support for Airbnb hosts. Results indicated that non-hosting residents who had higher emotional solidarity with Airbnb visitors were more supportive of Airbnb hosts. Also, economic benefits and place attachment were significant antecedents to emotional solidarity. Considering the protection motivation theory, results of group modeling indicated the sense of feeling safe was an important factor for non-hosting residents with children living in their household, attributed to parental fear of visitors around children (i.e., “stranger danger”). The sense of feeling safe was a significant mediating factor influencing support for Airbnb hosts in the non-hosting residents group with children living in their households.

我国居民收入与资产价格关系的实证研究

居民收入与资产价格之间到底存在怎样的关系是理论界广泛关注的问题。在中国当前特殊情况下,房地产和股票分别是两大具有代表性的实体资产与虚拟资产。本文基于较大期限跨度的数据,使用Jo-hansen协整检验和Granger因果关系检验方法,对居民收入和资产价格之间的关系进行实证研究。结论表明,居民收入提高不会导致实体资产价格上升,但会对虚拟资产价格产生一定的影响。基于此,现阶段国内要稳步发展房地产市场和股票市场,引导投资者合理投资,在提高居民收入时要注意促使居民扩大消费而不是追加投资。     

Residents' perceptions of tourism development in Benalmádena (Spain)

This study examines the residents' perceptions of the impact of tourism in Benalmádena and the profiles of the residents according to socio-demographic characteristics. A questionnaire assessed how these characteristics influence the residents' perceptions towards the environment, economy, and socio-cultural aspects. The survey was administered to a stratified sample of 770 residents in Benalmádena. Results show a significant effect of socio-demographic variables on perception of tourism impact. The educational background, place of birth and how long respondents had been living in the community explain a significant amount of the variance in overall attitudes. Interaction analyses revealed that place of birth moderated the relationship between the tourism dimensions and the years of residence. For instance, the respondents with less than five years of residence showed more positive attitude towards the impact of tourism. We offer a profile of these residents according to their perceptions of the impact of tourism in their community.     

The effects of community factors on residents’ perceptions toward World Heritage Site inscription and sustainable tourism development

Using partial least squares-structural equation modeling, we analyzed data from 410 questionnaires completed by a sample of residents from the vicinity of the George Town World Heritage Site (WHS), Malaysia, to investigate the effects of community factors on residents’ perceptions and support for WHS conservation and tourism development. To conceptualize these relationships, we developed a framework based on social exchange theory (SET) and previous empirical evidence. While community attachment, cultural attitudes, community involvement, and community gain had positive effects on residents’ perceptions, the effects of community members’ gain and status consistency were particularly strong. Our results suggest that perceptions strongly influence support for WHS conservation and tourism development. Having examined a number of new resident perception factors, this study makes a significant theoretical and methodological contribution to the tourism and resident perception literature. Furthermore, this study has practical implications for future sustainable community development in the George Town WHS.     

网络经济对农村居民消费的影响研究

消费作为拉动经济增长的三驾马车之一,其在经济运行中占有重要地位。近年来,随着互联网在我国的广泛普及,网络交易渠道日益完善,居民通过互联网络进行消费的热度持续上升。在现今互联网时代,最近的信息,最新的商机都可以通过网络获取,网络购物这种以互联网为载体的新型销售方式逐渐进入人们的视线,并开始对居民日常生活消费产生影响,因此可以说网络经济已经成为当今社会发展的必然趋势,网络经济时代已经向我们走来。网络经济背景下,农村居民的购物环境发生了变化,消费方式也有了创新,消费行为也随之发生变化。网络的直接性及便利性提高了用户的消费倾向,促进了农村居民的消费升级,同时优化了社会的消费环境。因此,对网络经济背景下的农村居民消费影响进行探究具有重要意义,并且根据研究结果可以为网络经济的发展提供相应的政策建议。     

我国农产品价格波动对农村居民消费的动态影响

本文在构建VAR模型的基础上,运用脉冲响应函数及方差分解技术,刻画了农产品价格波动对农村居民消费的动态影响。实证结果表明,短期内农产品价格上涨对农村居民消费支出有较强的正效应,在长期内正效应较弱。因此,在扩大内需的战略背景下,依靠提高农产品价格以促进农村居民消费只是应时之需,从长期看,要充分发挥农村消费对经济的拉动作用,必须建立起促进农村居民消费能力提升的长效机制。     

社会控制的延续,抑或公民社会的发轫?——不同理论视角下的城市居民社区参与

居民社区参与是当前社区研究中的一个热点。但对于居民社区参与的意涵到底是什么,是社会控制体制在社区这一日常生活场域中的延伸,还是公民社会与公民自治的发轫,不同的理论模式、不同的理论视角、不同的解释路径对此莫衷一是。本文对国家—社会关系模式下的公民社会视角和社会控制视角以及行动制度模式下的制度制约视角和理性选择视角下的居民社区参与研究进行了梳理和评述,并把社会互构论作为一种理解和阐述居民社区参与的新视角,试图在社会与国家以及行动与制度的相互建构、相互型塑的关系中理解居民社区参与的社会意涵。     

扩大农村居民消费的途径——基于农村居民消费函数的研究

深入研究和分析我国农村居民消费函数及其特点,有助于我们把握消费者的行为特征及其规律,为制订刺激农村居民消费政策提供理论依据和政策建议。利用协整和误差修正计量分析方法构建我国农村居民消费函数模型,将有利于更加清晰地分析农村居民消费行为特征及主要的影响因素。     

新疆城乡居民收入差距实证分析

收入是反映经济发展和人民生活水平的一个综合指标。现阶段城乡居民收入差距不断扩大，这不仅影响社会公平，而且影响经济社会长期稳定的持续发展。1996年一2004年新疆城镇居民人均可支配收入及农民人均纯收入数据揭示出引起城乡居民收入差距的原因在于自然因素与体制因素的不同。要缩小这一差距，就必须加大对农业和农村的投入，进一步完善农村产业化经营体系。
