Dynamic analysis of stock return volatility in an integrated international capital market

This paper examines the dynamic behavior of the stock return volatility for Canada, Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The evidence indicates that international stock return volatility is mainly influenced by the U.S. stock return volatility and the exchange rate volatility, supporting the international capital market integration hypothesis. There seems to be some correlation between stock return volatility and macroeconomic volatility, but the effect is relatively weaker. In addition to the economic fundamentals, the noise component is found to be time varying, confirming the AR(MA)CH specifications in the stock return models.     

中国银行业规模经济和范围经济的实证研究——基于复合成本函数的分析

本文首次在国内利用复合成本函数估计我国国有商业银行和股份制商业银行1998——2003年的成本函数,并计算出各自的规模经济和范围经济。复合成本函数把投入价格的对数二次项和产出的二次项结合起来,具有优良的实证研究性质。实证研究结果表明:时间对我国银行业的规模经济和范围经济影响不显著;国有商业银行和股份制商业银行都存在着轻微的规模不经济和范围不经济,国有银行略好于股份制银行。我国商业银行的两种产出——存款和贷款不存在成本互补性。     

东北老工业基地改造中的政府职能定位

振兴东北老工业基地的关键在于塑造一批在国际市场中有竞争力的、混合所有制性质的超大型企业集团。为此,中央政府应承担国有企业发展过程中形成的历史包袱;对资源枯竭型城市给予专项补贴;对东北土地流转和整合试点给予特别政策;成立由中央政府牵头的东北老工业基地改造协调领导小组。     

The evolution of the seven steps of selling

The traditional seven steps of selling is perhaps the oldest paradigm in the sales discipline. The seven steps model has served as a basic framework in sales training, personal selling textbooks, and teaching personal selling classes. Very little has changed in this framework since the turn of the 20th century. This article reviews the traditional seven steps of selling, examines transformative factors that have led to changes in each step, and presents an evolved seven steps process. While the traditional seven steps reflected a selling orientation on the part of a firm, the evolved selling process reflects more of a customer orientation in that the focus is on relationship selling—that is, securing, building, and maintaining long-term relationships with profitable customers.     

An international study of internal audit function quality

We investigate organisational and environmental factors that influence firms’ incentives to develop high-quality internal audit functions (IAFs) by using a unique international sample formed by matching proprietary data from a global internal auditor survey with public data obtained from Worldscope. Concerning organisational factors, we find that a positive relationship exists between IAF quality and firm complexity and confirm that complex firms have a higher demand for monitoring and advising and, therefore, a greater need for formal controls. In addition, IAF quality is positively related to board monitoring and audit committee diligence but negatively associated with CEO power, which suggests that IAF quality is influenced by other key players in corporate governance. Regarding environmental factors, we document that IAF quality is positively associated with industry competition, which implies that a firm’s incentive for a high-quality IAF is enhanced when confronted with greater environmental uncertainty. Furthermore, IAF quality has a significantly positive relationship with our self-constructed index of IAF requirements included in national corporate governance codes, which indicates that strong home-country corporate governance codes play a role in fostering IAF development.     

“营改增”影响地方政府税收努力研究

基于随机前沿分析法（SFA）测算2011-2015年我国地方政府税收努力程度,并运用双重差分法考察“营改增”对地方征税行为的影响。研究发现：“营改增”将地方税（营业税）变为共享税（增值税）,显著降低了地方政府税收努力程度;改革对税收努力的冲击受经济发展水平、转移支付额度和税收返还的影响,获取转移支付收入和税收返还越多的地区税收努力下降速度越快。后“营改增”时期,如何提高税收效率,缓解地方财政收入对转移支付和债务收入的依赖性,是理顺中央和地方财税关系,完善财税收入体系的重要问题。     

旅游产品散论

目前学界对旅游产品的概念存在不少分歧,本文择取如下问题加以讨论:旅游产品是否包含媒介要素、是否是一种经历或体验、是否是商品、是否包含目的地出售的实物形态商品以及是否包含旅游资源.本文认为,媒介要素是旅游产品的必要组成部分,不能把旅游产品看作经历或体验,旅游产品是商品,旅游产品中不包含旅游地出售的旅游纪念品等实物形态商品,也不包括旅游资源.本文着重讨论了旅游资源与旅游产品的关系,提出旅游资源不是旅游产品或产品的一部分,而是、也仅仅是旅游产品生产要素中狭义的土地要素.     

老龄化下人均经济增长率变动的实证分析

文章从曼昆、罗默和韦尔的总量生产函数出发,在经济增长模型中加入老龄化因素,据此分析了老龄化所致人口结构变化对于人均经济增长率变动的影响,并对所建构的模型进行了检验,结果表明自1978-2004年老龄化因素下的人均经济增长变动率一直为正,但增长呈现下降趋势.同时对其变动作出了预测分析,结果表明我国在2035年以前处于人均经济增长变动率为正的人口红利期,在2036-2055年则处于人口亏损期.针对分析结论,本文提出了充分利用人口红利期的政策建议和未来研究的方向.     

吸入用布地奈德混悬液雾化联合盐酸丙卡特罗治疗喘息性支气管炎患儿的疗效

目的探讨吸入用布地奈德混悬液雾化联合盐酸丙卡特罗治疗喘息性支气管炎患儿的临床效果。方法选取2018年7月至2020年12月辽宁省健康产业集团阜新矿总医院收治的喘息性支气管炎患儿96例作为研究对象,依据治疗方案不同分为观察组与对照组,各48例。对照组接受吸入用布地奈德混悬液雾化治疗,观察组在对照组基础上加用盐酸丙卡特罗治疗,比较两组疗效、症状(三凹征、肺部哮鸣音、喘息、咳嗽)消退时间及治疗前、治疗7d、14d肺功能[潮气呼气中期流速(ME)/潮气吸气中期流速(MI)、潮气呼气峰流速(PTEF)]、血清炎症介质[肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)]、氧化应激指标[总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、丙二醛(MDA)]水平。结果观察组治疗有效率为95.83%高于对照组81.25%(P<0.05);观察组三凹征消退时间、肺部哮鸣音消退时间、喘息消退时间、咳嗽消退时间短于对照组(P<0.05);治疗7 d、14 d观察组ME/MI、PTEF低于对照组(P<0.05);治疗7 d、14 d观察组血清TNF-α、IL-6水平低于对照组(P&...     

基于金融功能范式的社会主义新农村金融体系建构研究

农村金融体系建构和改革是社会主义新农村建设的重要内容和重要保障。实践证明,以往以机构范式为指导的农村金融改革忽略了对农村金融体系功能的关注,往往是以牺牲效率或违背市场发展方向为代价的。与社会主义新农村建设相适应的农村金融体系建构和改革,以社会主义新农村的需求为依据,明确了农村金融体系的功能定位,并在此基础上确定了农村金融体系的机构构成和各自的职能分工,以期为我国深化农村金融改革提供新的思路和有效的路径。
