中部金融支撑体系建立的供求分析

中部地区作为战略互动轴心,历来被认为承担着协调沿海与内陆、接应东西部地区的重任。因此,逐步推进中部金融区域性市场的发展对实现“中部崛起”意义重大。在提出建立中部金融支撑平台的想法后,从需求与供给两个方面分析了这一方案的前提基础条件及其可行性。     

Revealed preference and differentiable demand

Summary. We prove that, for finitely many demand observations, the Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference tests not only the existence of a strictly concave, strictly monotone and continuous utility generator, but also one that generates an infinitely differentiable demand function. Our results extend those of previous related results (Matzkin and Richter, 1991; Chiappori and Rochet, 1987), yielding differentiable demand functions but without requiring differentiable utility functions.Received: 1 November 2001, Revised: 5 February 2004, JEL Classification Numbers: D11, D12.

文章旨在通过问卷调查的方式对桂林市民对周边旅游地花坪自然保护区的旅游开发的需求特征进行研究,以期能为桂林周边旅游景点规划提供决策的依据,也为城市居民对周边旅游地的旅游开发提供一种普适性的思路。     

国内外关于农机需求的理论与实证研究综述

本文从理论和实证研究两个角度回顾了国内外关于农机需求研究的重点文献,归纳了宏观和微观农机需求研究的共同理论基础,探讨了国内外对农机需求研究的进展,最后指出:农机需求的微观研究是目前国内农机需求研究的空白领域和值得进一步研究的、具有理论创新意义的发展方向。     

立足内需、扩大消费的财政政策研究

扩大内需一直是我国政府实现经济平稳增长的重要手段。我国一直存在的低消费、高投资的结构性矛盾,将会引发诸多经济运行风险。导致低消费格局的原因主要来自体制障碍,包括收入分配的不合理、城乡二元制结构、政府公共物品供给不足等。因此,需要财政政策在扩大内需,特别是扩大消费中有所作为。通过财政收支等手段建立“消费主导型”经济增长模式应是财政政策今后一段时期内的目标。     

Understanding the adoption of new brands through salespeople: a multilevel framework

So far there has been scant empirical attention paid to the role of the sales force in the adoption of new brands in the early implementation stages. We test a framework of internal (sales manager and salespeople) brand adoption using an empirical multilevel study. Our findings suggest that the construct of expected customer demand (ECD) plays an important role in sales force brand adoption. First, ECD directly influences salespeople’s and sales managers’ brand adoption. Second, ECD serves as a cross-level moderator of new brand adoption transmission. We find the influence of sales managers’ brand adoption on salespeople’s brand adoption to be stronger when salespeople’s ECD is lower.     

Minimum distance estimation of the spatial panel autoregressive model

This paper contributes to the interface literature of new methodological foundation of analyzing historical data with space and spatio-temporal phenomena. In particular, I consider estimating the spatial panel autoregressive model using the minimum distance estimator. Spatial autoregression has important implications for economic system that typifies correlatedness across many spatial locations and which could evolve over long span of time. To overcome computational difficulties, I suggest a two-stage estimation procedure based on minimum distance estimators. A striking feature of the proposed model is that minimum distance estimates are derived under common slopes and complete equality of parameters across spatial units. Assumption of common slopes across spatial units is an empirical and theoretical plausibility as many spatial units are observed to share common trend and typology of changes occurring to the individual system under which equality of parameters are possibilities. The estimation strategy allows various restrictions on time-varying vector parameters. Moreover, those restrictions can easily be tested. I apply this procedure to the residential demand for water of 115 French municipalities over the biannual period 1988–1993. The primary contribution of the paper is to the methodological side of cliometrics while the empirical application (with shorter time period) has been presented for illustrative purpose although, it can nonetheless be readily applied to historical data with long-time horizon allowing for restrictions such as spatio-temporal common vector and structural break in parameter estimates.

消费主义的负价值及抵制策略探析

消费主义滥觞于19世纪资本主义经济危机时期,福特主义扩张和流水线的生产导致资本主义新教伦理的瓦解,并催生现代意义的消费主义。消费主义本质上是一种因欲消费和在虚假需求诱导下异化的生活方式。消费主义对主体更多的表现为一种负价值,它给社会和人带来一定的后果。因此,引导人们树立正确的消费伦理观,用真实需要代替虚假需要,以制度创新限制人们的虚假需要,是抵制消费主义的理想选择。     

完善海西中小企业融资信用担保制度的思考——基于福建省中小企业、担保机构需求的调查

福建省中小企业融资需求和融资担保机构对中小企业融资业务利益诉求的调查表明中小企业、信用担保机构、贷款银行间的利益冲突是难以避免的。正视当前融资担保体系中的利益冲突,建立起＂共担风险、共享利益＂的利益协调机制,是完善中小企业融资信用担保体系的重点,而担保制度、金融制度、信用制度的创新与完善,政府的支持和推动是当前的可行选择。     

我国收入分配对消费需求的影响

现阶段我国收入分配差距不断扩大,具体表现在城乡之间、地区之间以及劳资之间。通过对社会总消费函数和人均消费函数进行非线性回归分析可以发现,社会总消费函数的边际消费倾向大大低于人均消费函数的边际消费倾向。收入分配差距造成了社会总消费函数的边际消费倾向对人均消费函数的边际消费倾向的大幅偏离。因此,要提高整个社会的边际消费倾向,必须努力缩小我国的收入分配差距,改善地区之间收入分配状况,加强收入再分配的调节作用。
