努力实现矿产资源的有效保护和合理利用

文章对我国矿产资源的现状、特点及其严峻形势进行了分析,进而提出必须实行有效保护和合理开发利用.强调要提高自觉性,加大执法力度,抓好宏观调控,做好事前监督,强化科学管理,提高利用效率,加强矿山生态环境保护.     

政府规模与经济发展

本文研究了地方政府规模过大对地方经济发展的负面影响。通过计量分析发现,地方政府规模与当地人均GDP水平呈显著负相关。地方政府可以在培育市场、提供公共物品上发挥重要作用,从而成为"帮助之手";但也有可能设租和寻租,从而阻碍当地的经济发展,成为"掠夺之手"。而设租、寻租的规模与政府的规模密切相关。本文试图通过信号传递模型解释政府规模是如何影响地方经济发展的,以此说明政府机构改革的必要性。     

财政规模决定:一个经验模型

在借鉴国外财政规模实证分析建模方法的基础上,我们重新澄清了研究中国财政规模决定的逻辑起点和理论建模方向.我们认为,工业化、城市化、人口结构等市场内生变量不能较好地解释20世纪70年代末以来我国财政规模的演变,相反,揭示我国经济社会转型的外生制度变量--经济分权和财政分权,连同显示市场交易总规模的国民收入变量,能够较好地解释这种变化.理论上,作者所构建的简单计量模型分离出了市场与政府之间的替代效应和互补效应,前者反映了市场边界与政府边界的重新渐进界定,后者反映了财政学中广为人知的"瓦格纳定律".诚然,沿着这一基本思路还有大量的工作要做.     

城市规模-产出关系的分形性质与分维特征--对城市规模-产出幂指数模型的验证与发展

在分形性质非退化的前提下,城市规模(S)与产出(Y)之间具有双对数关系Y=a+bS,式中b为具有广义分维性质,且一般b>1.这暗示,在正常情况下,城市规模越大,城市的人均产出一般也就越高;城市的产出效率决定城市规模,城市规模反作用于城市的产出能力.城市规模与产出的相关性强弱可以反映出城市与城市体系性状的好坏.     

金融风险分析与预警研究

论文界定了金融风险的度并据此对两家金融企业进行了模拟实证分析,把握其各自的金融风险度,做出相应的预警级划分.     

企业成长因素:一个动态的理论分析框架

企业成长是一国经济繁荣的基础.以往的企业成长因素理论由于关注于单独的一个因素而有失偏颇.实际上,企业的成长不仅涉及企业的能力、资源和所处的环境,而且其成长具有动态性.在动态的企业成长分析框架中,企业在成长中所不具备的能力、资源等是可以通过第三种作用机制从超边界的、动态的和灵活的互动中获得,企业的成长也在这个互动的过程中产生.     

Firm size, web site content, and financial performance in the transportation industry

The transportation industry has been revolutionized by the World Wide Web with the Internet rapidly emerging as the optimal medium for the exchange of information between shippers and carriers throughout the supply chain. Despite this, many motor carrier firms may still not be placing enough emphasis on the Internet. Recent empirical research studies suggest that Internet utilization in the supply chain is significantly influenced by firm size. This study analyzes the informational and interactive content of the Top 100 U.S. motor carrier firms' web sites to examine the relationship between firm size and Internet utilization. In addition, as there is little research that assesses the payoff in terms of benefits for firms that place more emphasis on the Internet for commercial activity, secondary financial data are used to evaluate the association between Internet utilization and firm financial performance in the transportation industry.     

Multinational Companies and Entrant Start-up Size: Evidence from Quantile Regressions

This paper analyses the impact of foreign multinationals on the start-up size ofdomestic entrants in Irish manufacturing industries. We use the regression quantileestimator, which allows us to take account of the heterogeneity of entrants' start-upsize. Estimation results show that the presence of foreign multinationals in a sectorimpacts negatively on the start-up size of domestic entrants of all sizes in modernsectors and on the start-up size of large domestic entrants in traditional sectors. Thisnegative effect may be attributed to competition of domestic plants with foreignmultinationals and other domestic plants in the final goods and/or the intermediategoods market.     

Competitive Advantages of the Latecomer Firm: A Resource-Based Account of Industrial Catch-Up Strategies

The resource-based view of the firm provides a satisfactory account of how firms go about sustaining their existing competitive advantages, but it is less successful in accounting for how firms create such advantages in the first place, or overcome incumbent advantages, when the firms start with few resources. The paper utilizes the case of latecomer firms from the Asia-Pacific region breaking into knowledge-intensive industries such as semiconductors, to illustrate the issues involved and the resource-targeting strategies utilized. This results in a strategic theory of the overcoming of competitive disadvantages through linkage, resource leverage, and learning. The dynamic capabilities of such firms are enhanced through repeated applications of linkage and leverage. The resources strategically targeted are characterized as being those most amenable to such linkage and leverage, namely those that are least rare and most imitable and transferable, i.e. as positive versions of the criteria utilized in the conventional resource-based view of the firm. It is argued that this adaptation of the RBV is potentially of wide applicability, and is the needed amendment that makes it of prime significance in accounting for latecomer success within the conceptual framework of strategic management.     

TOWARDS AN ATTENTION-BASED VIEW OF THE FIRM

The central argument is that firm behavior is the result of how firms channel and distribute the attention of their decision-makers. What decision-makers do depends on what issues and answers they focus their attention on. What issues and answers they focus on depends on the specific situation and on how the firm’s rules, resources, and relationships distribute various issues, answers, and decision-makers into specific communications and procedures. The paper develops these theoretical principles into a model of firm behavior and presents its implications for explaining firm behavior and adaptation. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
