An approach for measuring the optimal fleet capacity: Evidence from the container shipping lines in Taiwan

Excess capacity emerges as a persistent problem in the shipping industry and plays an essential role in determining the level of ocean freight. Consequently, the optimal fleet capacity has become a critical and frequently discussed issue within the container shipping industry. In practice, the designed capacity of a vessel is the most popular approach for measuring the fleet capacity for a shipping line. Despite this, it continues to lack the operational and economical reasonableness necessary to properly define or measure the capacity provided by a shipping line. This study has developed an economic model to find the optimal fleet capacity. In turn, the corresponding installation ratios have been computed to examine the level of excess capacity present and evaluate the performance of fleet development for three container shipping lines in Taiwan. The findings suggest that the shipping lines with deep-sea service routes are likely to deliberately hold excess capacity. Thus, the strategy of holding excess capacity to deter entry and maintain market power may have implicitly played a crucial role in determining the scale of fleet capacity for a container shipping line.

政府采购法功能分析

政府采购法是国家调整政府采购过程中产生的各种社会关系的法律规范之总称。在现代经济社会中,政府采购法在行政管理、产业导向和保护市场竞争等方面发挥着日益重要的作用。     

奥运会与通货膨胀的机理研究

奥运会是否会引发举办地的通货膨胀问题，一直是事件研究领域内争论的问题，实证研究的结果也存在差异性。本文从经济学理论的角度分析和研究了奥运会引发通货膨胀的可能性，指出奥运会引发通货膨胀的根源在于奥运会的刚性引至性需求增加导致奥运周期内资源供给的不足，并提出了在奥运周期内适度增加供给的原则，这对奥运会举办地房地产价格上涨的研究具有一定理论和现实参考意义。

关于“过度竞争”的误区与解疑——兼论中国反垄断立法的“渐进式”思路

本文从结构、行为、绩效与政策等方面分析了“过度竞争”概念的模糊性,并针对与此相关的种种误区,结合汽车、制药、煤炭、纺织等产业的例证,运用产业经济学的基本理论,试图给予系统解疑。本文认为,“过度竞争”本身是个似是而非的伪命题。在此基础上,从政策论证的角度,提出行政垄断应“区别对待”,以及反垄断立法的“渐进式”思路。     

论行政赔偿因果关系

应当明确常识意义上的因果关系与哲学范畴的因果关系的区别,并将侵权法上的相当因果关系说适当修正后作为行政赔偿因果关系的理论基础.通过对行政因素间接致损的分析表明,单一维度的因果关系模式存在严重缺陷,应以二元维度下可选择的因果模式为基础,构建行政赔偿因果模式.     

Agency Theory,Reasoning and Culture at Enron: In Search of a Solution

Applying evidence from recently available public information on Enron, I defined Enron’s culture as one rooted in agency theory by asserting that Enron’s members were predominantly agency-reasoning individuals. I then identified conditions present at Enron’s collapse: a strong agency culture with collectively non-compliant norms, a munificent rare-failure environment, and new hires with little business ethics training. Turning to four possible antidotes (selection, objectivist integrity, integrity capacity, and stewardship reasoning) to an agency culture under these conditions, I argued that the currently available ethics literature would have made little difference toward averting Enron’s collapse if any of the recommendations from the relevant ethics literature had been implemented. I conclude by identifying new directions for business ethics literature in order to make it more implementable under the conditions identified at Enron. Essentially, we need a way to clearly determine (1) the difference between connivance and commitment, (2) what is meant by balance with regard to the multiple dimensions of ethics and legal theories, and (3) the proper balance between agency and stewardship reasoning.

经济转型时期行政性垄断的规制

行政性垄断以及政府所属部门依据其行政权力而形成的垄断，是阻碍市场竞争的主要因素。因此，分析我国行政转型时期行政性垄断的特殊性及其成因、特征和危害，并借鉴西方发达国家对行政性垄断规制的经验，结合我国实际对行政性垄断进行规制，在当前显得十分重要。
