Financial functional analysis: a conceptual framework for understanding the changing financial system

The financial system is currently undergoing a revolution brought about by e-finance, digital convergence, new market entrants and government-encouraged competition. New market entrants such as Apple, Alibaba, Facebook and Google come from industries such as IT, retail, social media and telecoms, and, therefore, do not fit comfortably within traditional financial institutional structures. A functional perspective might provide more practical insights into this revolution; however, the functional perspective has had a limited impact. This paper will investigate the benefits and limitations of financial functional analysis; probe the underpinning principles of sociology’s structural functional analysis; revisit Merton and Bodie’s (1995) six core financial functions in relation to new entrants in the financial landscape; and, finally, argue that in the new financial environment, functional analysis provides a more coherent and explanatory framework of the financial system for students and practitioners alike.     

Subterranean Commodification: Informal Housing and the Legalization of Basement Suites in Vancouver from 1928 to 2009

This article draws on Margaret Radin's theorization of ‘contested commodities' to explore the process whereby informal housing becomes formalized while also being shaped by legal regulation. In seeking to move once‐informal housing into the domain of official legality, cities can seldom rely on a simple legal framework of private‐law principles of property and contract. Instead, they face complex trade‐offs between providing basic needs and affordability and meeting public‐law norms around living standards, traditional neighbourhood feel and the environment. This article highlights these issues through an examination of the uneven process of legal formalization of basement apartments in Vancouver, Canada. We chose a lengthy period—from 1928 to 2009—to explore how basement apartments became a vital source of housing often at odds with city planning that has long favoured a low‐density residential built form. We suggest that Radin's theoretical account makes it possible to link legalization and official market construction with two questions: whether to permit commodification and how to permit commodification. Real‐world commodification processes—including legal sanction—reflect hybridization, pragmatic decision making and regulatory compromise. The resolution of questions concerning how to legalize commodification are also intertwined with processes of market expansion.     

The role of top management team diversity in shaping the performance of business model innovation: a threshold effect

Business model innovation is one of the firm’s most important strategic decisions. Top management team (TMT), as the critical decision-makers, has essential influence upon such decisions. However, the role of TMT diversity in shaping the performance of business model innovation is less explored in the literature. Based on a sample dataset of 906 observations of small and medium enterprises from China Startups Stock Market during the period of 2009–2011, we find that TMT diversity exhibits a significant threshold effect on the relationship between business model innovation (in terms of novelty-centred and efficiency-centred business model) and firm performance. More specifically, when TMT functional diversity arrives at a certain level, the positive relationship between novelty-centred business model and firm performance becomes more pronounced. On the other hand, the positive relationship between efficiency-centred business model innovation and firm performance will be more significant when TMT tenure diversity increases to a certain level.

基于性能的高模量沥青路面结构力学响应

为探究高模量沥青混凝土长寿命沥青路面应用,研究了高模量沥青混合料的动态模量和抗剪强度。结果表明,高模量沥青混合料的强度具有较强时-温依赖性,抵抗变频加载能力较强;其内摩擦角比传统AC（沥青混凝土）沥青混合料小21%,黏聚力高3倍。采用有限元分析7种不同高模量沥青路面结构的力学响应,针对优选的4种路面结构分析厚度对路面力学响应的影响。进而利用车辙预估模型,以车辙深度为控制指标,预测高模量沥青路面的功能寿命。结果显示,不同力学指标对应的较优路面结构均为上中下面层、中下面层采用高模量沥青混合料的结构,其与传统AC结构相比可分别延长路面寿命326%和118%。     

Methods for Scalar‐on‐Function Regression

Recent years have seen an explosion of activity in the field of functional data analysis (FDA), in which curves, spectra, images and so on are considered as basic functional data units. A central problem in FDA is how to fit regression models with scalar responses and functional data points as predictors. We review some of the main approaches to this problem, categorising the basic model types as linear, non‐linear and non‐parametric. We discuss publicly available software packages and illustrate some of the procedures by application to a functional magnetic resonance imaging data set.     

The use–make framework and the derivation of functional forms in production theory

The use–make framework is employed to explain functional forms in production theory, including Cobb–Douglas and Leontief. Productivity and efficiency are interrelated by augmenting the framework with a linear program that determines the frontier output.     

Debt monetization,inflation, and the ‘neutral’ interest rate

The main purpose of this study is to explore the potential expansionary effect stemming from the monetization of debt. We develop a simple macroeconomic model with Keynesian features and four sectors: creditor and debtor households, businesses, and the public sector. We show that such expansionary effect stems mainly from the reduction in the financial cost to servicing the public debt. The efficacy of the channel that operates allegedly through the compression of the risk/term premium on securities is found to be ambiguous. Finally, we show that countries that issue their own currency can avert getting stuck in a structural ‘liquidity trap’ provided their central banks are willing to monetize the debt created by a strong enough fiscal expansion.     

Analyzing Daqing＇s Urban Spatial Form Evolution： Basing on the Technology of RS and GIS

以我国目前最大石油城市——大庆市为研究对象,选取1984、1995、2007年3个城市建设关键时间节点,以Landsat MSS、TM卫星影像为主要数据源,利用GIS技术提取城市建设用地规模、形态、增长幅度、区位坐标等信息,计算城市空间扩张速度、强度、城市空间形态紧凑度、分维指数、城市增长理性程度等空间特征量,分析大庆市1984年以来城市空间扩张现象和特征,并结合经济社会统计相关数据及区域分析方法,探究其因果关系。研究认为,大庆市城市空间扩张与形态演化具有石油城市发展的典型性和一般规律,表现出建设用地总量大、扩张速度快、强度高、增量分布不均衡、空间形态不规则、紧凑度低、城市中心地迁移方向与用地扩张基本一致等特征。这些现象和特征的主要形成原因包括石油开发战略指向、自然环境约束、交通设施引导、城市规划调控、中心地功能变迁等五个方面。
