Chinese values and negotiation behaviour: A bargaining experiment

The importance of Chinese culture in cross-national negotiation has become conventional wisdom in international business research and practice. However, empirical work has not sufficiently established whether, how and under what conditions specific cultural values of the Chinese affect their negotiation decisions. This paper reports an experiment with a purpose-designed game task in which Chinese subjects divide a fixed gain over escalating stages. We find that concerns for face and harmony promote cooperative negotiation decisions while desire to win and risk seeking accentuate competitive ones. Values only predict behaviour in the critical, final stage of the bargaining process supporting a dynamic view of the effect of culture in negotiation.

大学生创新实验计划实施中形成的教学模式和存在的问题

经过多年的试点和推广,大学生创新性实验计划的实施已经形成了一定教学模式,这种模式为大学生提供了项目申报、项目研究和项目评价等一系列支持和服务,也为大学生组建科研团队、参与科学研究提供了机会。但是,由于推广时间短,刚刚形成的教学模式还存在项目课题设置不合理、缺乏教学科研平台、对现有教学资源利用不足、评价体系不够科学有效等问题。     

中国国有企业与民营企业的数量演进——基于种群生态学的仿真实验

本文运用种群生态学的仿真实验分析了1990年以来中国国有企业与民营企业数量的动态变化关系。实验显示,国退民进和国进民退的分水岭在2004年前后,2004年之前,中国民营经济稳步快速发展,此后民营企业数量增长率明显变缓,国有企业数量总体上也在逐步减少。根据国有企业和民营企业各自的相对优势——国有企业发挥实力、民营企业体现活力来设置不同的参数,发现市场经济中民营企业具有普适性,并预测出国有经济与民营经济将长期共存并推进中国经济发展。为此,在市场环境中,只有进一步发展民营经济才能释放强大的经济活力、优化产业结构、维护社会的公平正义。这种以国有经济为基础,国有经济与民营经济争高竞长、并驾齐驱的新型经济才是真正的中国特色社会主义市场经济。     

贸易摩擦与股价波动——基于中美“轮胎特保”案的“准自然实验”检验

以2009年中美"轮胎特保"案作为外部冲击构建"准自然实验",考察贸易摩擦对中国上市公司股价波动的影响。结果表明:贸易摩擦对中国相关上市公司的股价存在着显著的负向影响;短期内贸易摩擦对股价的影响渠道主要是投资者对企业的投资信心,与企业的经营绩效无显著相关;从"时间效应"和"阶段效应"的探讨看,贸易摩擦对股价的影响仅存在"短期效应",在开始和正式裁定两个阶段对企业股价产生了负面影响;贸易摩擦对前向关联产业的股价具有显著的负向影响,而对后向关联产业的股价影响则不显著。     

中国企业经理人是自利和理性的吗?——一个实验经济学研究

"经济人自利和理性"假设是经济学的最核心假设.西方实验经济学家通过一系列博弈试验,证实了人们完全"自利"、"理性"的假设并不成立.但实验参与人群及其文化历史背景的变化对实验结果的影响一直是人们关注的焦点.因此,本文利用精心设计的"信任博弈"实验,对中国的企业经理人的"自利"、"理性"假设进行了实验研究,并且将企业经理人的实验结果与学生身份的实验参与者的实验结果做了对比研究.实验结果证实了西方实验经济学家的结论,发现中国的企业经理人并不是完全"自利"、"理性"的机会主义者,同时,本实验还揭示了被标准的委托代理理论忽视了的激励手段所带来的隐含成本和隐含收益.在此基础上,本文提出了企业经理人激励约束的政策建议.     

Value of parsimonious nutritional information in a framed field experiment

This study investigates consumers’ beliefs about the tastiness and healthiness of 173 food items in a framed field experiment designed to mirror a grocery shopping environment. Using data collected from 129 food shoppers in Grenoble, France, demand models are estimated to determine how product choice is affected by price, taste, and perceived healthiness, and how choices change with the provision of objective health information. Unlike previous studies focusing on relatively complex nutrition labels, we elicit and convey health information using simple nutritional indices meant to lower search and cognitive processing costs. The results indicate that consumers are willing to pay for tastier foods and for healthier foods, particularly if the consumers have objective information (as opposed to perceived, subjective information) on nutrient content. The estimates suggest that the value of the type of nutritional information provided in the experiment is €0.98 per day. The figure refers to the daily welfare benefits that arise from being able to make a set of choices that better reflect people’s preferences by receiving the nutrient index information on all 173 food items versus not having such information.

本文讨论了增值税转型的制度变迁特点及变迁过程,讨论了转型对制度环境与制度安排的路径依赖。由于我国采用试点方式开始转型,文章对试点的影响也进行了分析,并结合税收中性理论,分析了其对转型路径的影响。     

The effect of endogenous timing on coordination under asymmetric information: An experimental study

This paper investigates the role of endogenous timing of decisions on coordination under asymmetric information. In the equilibrium of a global coordination game, where players choose the timing of their decision, a player who has sufficiently high beliefs about the state of the economy undertakes an investment without delay. This decision (potentially) triggers an investment by the other player whose beliefs would have led to inaction otherwise. Endogenous timing has two distinct effects on coordination: a learning effect (early decisions reveal information) and a complementarity effect (early decisions eliminate strategic uncertainty for late movers). The experiments that we conduct to test these theoretical results show that the learning effect of timing has more impact on the subjects' behavior than the complementarity effect. We also observe that subjects' welfare improves significantly under endogenous timing.
