Harmonizing conflict in husband–wife purchase decision making: perceived fairness and spousal influence dynamics

To market important products to families successfully, salespeople must understand how couples behave in concert to resolve conflict across major decisions. The authors develop a model of spousal fairness and test it with a study of multi-period family purchase decision making. The results show that a spousal sense of fairness serves as a mechanism for contemporary couples to harmonize conflict over time in family decisions. Specifically, spouses’ perceived fairness mediates the relationship between spousal prior influence and spousal decision behavior in subsequent decisions. Spouses also consider their partner’s perceptions of fairness when taking action to restore fairness. Moreover, the effects of perceived fairness are moderated by spousal traits of empathy, egalitarianism, and empowerment in a gendered pattern.

Managerial Bonus Systems in a Differentiated Duopoly: A Comment

A differentiated Cournot duopoly is considered where firm owners delegate the output decision to a manager, who is rewarded on the basis of his performance. If this performance is measured in terms of (i) pure profits, (ii) a combination of profits and sales, (iii) a combination of profits and market share or (iv) relative profits, the latter option strictly dominates the others if the products are perfect substitutes. Recently it was claimed that this result does not hold for all levels of product substitutability. In this comment, we show however that this result is robust against the introduction of product differentiation. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

利用影响力受贿罪主体之探讨

《刑法修正案(七)》增设了利用影响力受贿罪,扩展了传统贿赂犯罪的主体。犯罪主体表述中的"近亲属"、"关系密切人"等模糊性用语,难具司法实践的可操作性。对犯罪主体进行清晰界定,对于利用影响力受贿罪的适用具有重要意义。     

劳动争议、资本深化与劳动收入份额——影响机制与中国经验

劳动争议纠纷的增多已成为中国经济发展中不容忽视的问题。采用1998—2016年中国省际面板数据的分析表明：劳均劳动争议案件数与劳均资本存量显著正相关、与劳动收入份额显著负相关,劳均资本存量与劳动收入份额显著负相关;劳动争议增加将促使企业用资本替代劳动,产生资本深化现象,而资本深化程度的提高会降低劳动收入份额,并且资本深化在劳动争议影响劳动收入份额中发挥完全中介效应。因此,应积极构建和谐劳动关系,增强对劳动争议的调解处置能力,在经济增长的同时实现居民收入同步增长,在劳动生产率提高的同时实现劳动报酬同步提高。     

Who should be the respondent? Comparing predictive powers between managers' and employees' responses in measuring high-performance work systems practices

This study first examines the association between the effectiveness of high-performance work systems (HPWS) and two types of firm performance (the financial performance and productivity of a firm) in Korea and then compares the relative predictive power between employee responses and manager responses. The results indicate that the effectiveness of HPWS has a statistically significant positive effect on firm performance and that employee perception of the effectiveness of human resource (HR) practices explains more variance in the financial performance and productivity of firms than does managers' corresponding perception. This study highlights the importance of a firm's employees as a source of HR information.     

One-step R-estimation in linear models with stable errors

Classical estimation techniques for linear models either are inconsistent, or perform rather poorly, under α$\alpha$-stable error densities; most of them are not even rate-optimal. In this paper, we propose an original one-step R-estimation method and investigate its asymptotic performances under stable densities. Contrary to traditional least squares, the proposed R-estimators remain root-n$n$ consistent (the optimal rate) under the whole family of stable distributions, irrespective of their asymmetry and tail index. While parametric stable-likelihood estimation, due to the absence of a closed form for stable densities, is quite cumbersome, our method allows us to construct estimators reaching the parametric efficiency bounds associated with any prescribed values (_α0,_b0)$({\alpha }_0,b_0)$ of the tail index α$\alpha$ and skewness parameter b$b$, while preserving root-n$n$ consistency under any (α,b)$(\alpha ,b)$ as well as under usual light-tailed densities. The method furthermore avoids all forms of multidimensional argmin computation. Simulations confirm its excellent finite-sample performances.     

安徽省旅游资源错位现象及相对效率评价

文章引入错位指数对旅游业发展的“资源诅咒”现象进行定量研究,结合旅游资源的相对效率评价,提出安徽省各地区旅游资源的开发建议.研究表明:2005、2010年合肥负向错位指数最大,宣城正向错位指数最大;皖中旅游资源总效率受纯技术效率驱动较大,旅游资源利用集约化程度较高,皖北旅游资源总效率受规模效率驱动较大,旅游资源利用属于粗放型方式;区域旅游资源相对效率除了与旅游资源禀赋相关外,与第二产业生产总值、第三产业生产总值、人均GDP、全社会固定资产投资、互联网宽带用户数、货物进出口总额、住宿和餐饮业营业额等因素也密切相关;根据错位指数与总效率的排名,对各地区未来旅游资源开发提出相应的建议.     

The paths of relative steady states of several economies

In this paper, an economy means a national economy; an economy's relative steady state means an economy's steady state of per-capita output relative to the mean of those of a broad set of economies. This paper provides a method used not only to get the path of an economy's relative steady state, but also to assess whether an economy's relative steady state changed between two given periods and whether an economy's relative steady state in a given period differed from another economy's in the same or a different given period. This paper also shows the paths of relative steady states of six economies (China, India, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and USA) using the estimates of their relative steady states in four successive periods (1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s). A comparison of the paths gives valuable information.
