浅谈知识经济下的财务管理创新

随着知识经济时代的到来,企业财务管理的形式和内容也发生了新的变化。在知识经济时代,企业财务管理必须做好财务管理目标、财务关系和企业投资管理等方面的创新工作。     

基于“点—轴”理论的皖江城市带旅游空间布局整合

在皖江示范区承接长三角产业转移大背景下,适时调整并优化皖江城市旅游目的地空间组织系统,协调地区旅游业可持续发展则是发展皖江城市带旅游经济的基本要求。以＂点—轴＂理论为基础,以中心职能指数和引力模型的定量方法界定皖江示范区旅游城市节点、旅游开发轴线及其基础上的旅游地系统。研究表明：一级旅游城市节点为合肥市、芜湖市、池州市和安庆市,原巢湖市等10城镇为二级旅游节点;合肥—芜湖—宣城、马鞍山—池州—安庆、合肥—桐城—潜山交通段为一级旅游发展轴线,潜山—岳西—六安等9交通段为二级发展轴线。在此基础上,综合考虑各方面因素规划出示范区四大旅游地系统：滨湖—滨江旅游地系统、区北丘陵旅游地系统、宣州文化旅游地系统、大别山旅游地系统。     

Foreign direct investment and economic growth: Is more financial development better?

We investigate the extent to which an increase in financial development affects the positive effect of foreign direct investment on economic growth. Although the financial sector is beneficial for economic growth, the effect of further financial development on growth is found to become insignificant. Using a dynamic panel threshold model on 62 middle- and high-income countries spanning the period 1987–2016, we re-examine the possible nonlinearity between finance, foreign direct investment, and growth. Consistent with the “vanishing effect” of financial development, we find significant evidence that foreign direct investment fosters growth in general, but the growth effect of foreign direct investment becomes negligible when the ratio of private sector credit to gross domestic product exceeds 95.6%. This finding is robust to different econometric methods, various subsamples and interaction analyses, and distinct financial development indicators.     

Financial development,institutions, and poverty alleviation: an empirical analysis

The aim of this article is to analyse empirically whether the level of institutional quality influences how financial development affects poverty for a sample of developing countries covering the period from 1984 to 2012. Using an interaction term constructed as a product between financial development and institutional quality we find that the pro-poor impact of financial development decreases as the quality of institutions rises. Such a differential effect can be ascribed to the capacity of banks to provide functions that mimic those performed by an institutional framework that works well. The results of this article can be used for policy management.     

Railway development from the Japanese occupation period to the present – using Kaohsiung city as an example​​​​​​​​

This study intended to discuss the interactive influence of the emergence, transformation and decline of the railway in Kaohsiung Port on urban development, the population, the activities and the economy in the region during the period of 1895–2010, from the perspectives of urban planning, railway development, population and industry. This study used the crossover analysis method, and used the factors of railway development and urban planning, within a fixed time period, to explore the chain dependence relationship among the industry, the population, the regional economy and the railway stations in Kaohsiung city. This study found that urban planning, economic development, railway development and industry have an interactive influence on the overall urban development. Urban planning promotes the rapid growth of the population, and economic development propels the growth and shaping of the regional economy, thus increasing employment opportunities. In addition, the railway development process moves forward with urban development.     

Is the Threat of Foreign Aid Withdrawal an Effective Deterrent to Political Oppression? Evidence from 53 African Countries

This article complements existing literature on the aid-institutions nexus by focusing on political rights, aid volatilities, and the post-Berlin Wall period. Our findings show that, while foreign aid does not have a significant effect on political rights, foreign aid volatilities do mitigate democracy in recipient countries. Such volatilities could be used by populist parties to promote a neocolonial agenda, instill nationalistic sentiments, and consolidate their grip on power. This is especially true when donors are asking for standards that the majority of the population in control does not want and political leaders are unwilling to implement them. Our empirical evidence is based on 53 African countries for the period from 1996 to 2010. As a main policy implication, creating uncertainties in foreign aid for political rights enhancement in African countries may achieve the opposite results. We also discuss other implications, including the need for an “After-Washington” Consensus.     

Dynamics of industry architecture and firms’ knowledge and capability development: an empirical study of industry transformation

There is a lack of empirical evidence supporting existing conceptualisations and particularly clarifying the underlying mechanisms involved in the role of dominant firms in industry transformation. This research undertook an in-depth single case study of how a firm managed its knowledge and capability development processes to shape the industry architecture to its benefit. We investigated how a dominant firm manipulates the interdependencies with local suppliers and positions itself at higher levels of the industry architecture hierarchy. Findings suggest that such processes take place over the course of several product innovation projects and across different levels of the product architecture. Such findings contribute to helping firms to manage their knowledge and capability development processes and transform the industry architecture to their advantage.     

我国高等教育国际化的发展特点及其推进策略

目前,高等教育国际化已成为全球教育发展的总趋势。在这一发展趋势下,各国对于教育资源共享与教育信息交流的认识更加深刻,世界性的教育价值观念不断形成和加强,同时各国的教育正面临着共同的挑战。为了迎接这一共同的挑战,中国需要认真思考高等教育国际化的发展特点,并制定相应的推进策略,这对于我国高等教育的国际化发展有着重要的意义。     

“中国模式”的蜕变

1840年以前,中国用自身原创的理论治理和发展国家,创造了一套古老的‘‘中国模式”。1840年,古老的“中国模式”被打破,中国开始不断向外部世界学习治国之道。中国共产党以马克思主义为指导,以中国特色社会主义理论为框架,将这种向外部世界的学习推进到最高阶段,取得了巨大成就。但中国特色社会主义,其理论核心是外来的马克思主义和古代中国传统文化,从本质上讲仍然是一种通过向别人和古人的“学习”而推动的发展模式。未来,中国共产党应该逐渐创造出原生的,先进的,具有吸引力的智力财富,以此解决自身问题,突破自身瓶颈,完成从“学习”到“自身创造”的蜕变。     

皖江地区文化创意产业发展对策研究

SWOT分析结果认为,皖江地区既具有文化、地理、人力资源、平台优势,也存在意识薄弱、人才匮乏和资金投入不足的局面;既面临国内外良好环境和作为示范区的机遇,也面临统计体系建设、同业竞争和培养区域文化认同感的挑战。发展皖江地区文化创意产业的对策就是要加强产业理论研究;健全人才培养、激励计划;完善产业融资渠道;构建产业统计体系;凸显差异化发展模式;培养区域文化认同感。
