Jean-Charles Shalom Chebat, (1945–2019) z’’l: An intimate perspective into his life

Professor Jean-Charles Chebat's successful career was widely recognized. He was respected by his peers and loved by his students. Numerous awards and recognitions highlighted his career. Hailed for his teaching skills both at home and abroad, an innovator and extremely versatile and prolific author, his work has impacted the academic world in many significant and exceptional ways. He has published more than 160 refereed journal articles, serving on the board of multiple top journals, and is still one of the top-cited researchers in his field. Jean-Charles trained more than one hundred Ph.D. students over the course of his career. Born in 1945 of a Jewish family in the city of Algiers, Jean-Charles was also a loving father, devoted husband and son, who lived by his principles and values. A leader in his Canadian-Jewish community, he was deeply involved with this Jewish concept of tikkum olam, which translated into societal action and research as a means of social change. In 2013, he moved to Israel and continued teaching at the Technion University in Haifa. Jean-Charles Chebat, Professor Emeritus of HEC Montréal, passed away on May 21, 2019 in Israel at the age of 74. This chapter is an intimate perspective into Professor Chebat's life, research, career achievements, the broad span of his research fields, his teaching philosophy, and his legacy.     

中国文化与组织行为：本土管理研究的路径探讨

本土管理理论的开发离不开对中国独特文化的理解。但中国文化对组织行为的作用机制究竟如何，是一个亟待回答的问题。为此通过对国内外现有研究成果的系统梳理，文章首先界定了本土文化的相关概念，然后基于文化构成，从基本假设、价值观和子文化三个方面探讨了具体文化要素对组织行为的影响作用，最后从中国文化情境的双重属性出发，揭示了文化影响组织行为的制度环境效应和个体偏好效应，构建了中国文化与组织行为的关系路径，并对未来研究进行了展望。     

Revealed preference test and shortest path problem; graph theoretic structure of the rationalizability test

This paper presents some substantial relationships between the revealed preference test for a data set and the shortest path problem of a weighted graph. We give a unified perspective of several forms of rationalizability tests based on the shortest path problem and an additional graph theoretic structure, which we call the shortest path problem with weight adjustment. Furthermore, the proposed structure is used to extend the result of Quah (2014), which sharpened classical Afriat’s Theorem-type results.     

山东省“三型社会”条件下新型城镇化建设研究

“三型社会”是未来城镇化建设的一大趋势，新型城镇化的建设就是在“三型社会”这个大前提下，人口、资源、环境相协调的城镇化。“三型社会”和新型城镇化的理念是一脉相承的。将“三型社会”的理念贯穿到山东省的具体城镇化建设中，源于山东省在城镇化建设方面还存在人口、资源、环境方面的问题。人口、资源、环境对城镇化的影响程度直接决定着具体的建设路径。鉴于以上认识，我们进行了本研究，希望通过人口、资源、环境与城镇化模型的构建对人口、资源、环境对城镇化的影响程度进行较为客观的分析，有针对性地提出建设路径，为我省新型城镇化建设提供参考。     

The time constrained multi-commodity network flow problem and its application to liner shipping network design

The multi-commodity network flow problem is an important sub-problem in several heuristics and exact methods for designing route networks for container ships. The sub-problem decides how cargoes should be transported through the network provided by shipping routes. This paper studies the multi-commodity network flow problem with transit time constraints which puts limits on the duration of the transit of the commodities through the network. It is shown that for the particular application it does not increase the solution time to include the transit time constraints and that including the transit time is essential to offer customers a competitive product.

Exchange rate regime switching in Malaysia and Singapore in response to China’s move to a basket peg: A DSGE analysis

Motivated by the observation that when China broke from its US dollar peg in 2005, Malaysia and Singapore likewise loosened their currency ties to the US dollar, this paper considers how these two countries might best respond to a hypothetical transition by China to a new basket peg regime. We specify five alternative exchange rate strategies that encompass fixed, basket, and floating regimes and gradual versus sudden transitions. To project outcomes for macroeconomic variables under these alternative regimes, we apply a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model of a small open economy and incorporate exogenous shocks as actually occurred from 2005 Q1 to 2014 Q4. We then compare the strategies based on values of a cumulative loss function defined on the output gap, the inflation rate, and the real effective exchange rate. The exercise reveals that a gradual adjustment to a basket peg with long-term optimal weights is the first-best policy for both countries, where optimal weights are derived to minimize the loss function. Further, both a sudden shift to a basket peg with optimal weights and a sudden shift to a floating rate regime are superior to maintaining the dollar peg in Malaysia, but not to maintaining the existing basket peg in Singapore.
