Industry concentration in common value auctions: theory and evidence

We examine theoretically and experimentally two countervailing effects of industry concentration in common value auctions. Greater concentration of information among fewer bidders reduces competition but increases the precision of private estimates. We demonstrate that this generally leads to more aggressive bidding. However, the reduction in competition dominates the informational effects, resulting in lower prices. We examine these hypothesized effects experimentally by conducting a series of auctions with constant informational content but distributed among a varying number of bidders. The experimental results are consistent with our theoretical predictions.

金融业交叉销售中的关系网络价值

金融业交叉销售在发达国家,特别是在跨国银行集团,已得到了充分的使用,但国内金融企业运用的还远远不够。通过对金融企业价值、客户价值以及由此衍生的关系网络价值的分析,金融企业要使交叉销售为企业带来盈利,必须运用系统观点,解决好交叉销售的系统问题。金融业交叉销售对提升金融企业关系网络价值具有重要意义。     

论科技期刊在市场经济中的价值取向

本文从科技期刊的内容、读者、特点，阐述限科技期刊自身不能完全由市场决定其取舍与发展，应选择和界定其正确的市场价值走向，积极体现认识论绵价值规律；另外，从它的基本特征、基本任务来看它的价值是间接的、无法替代的。因此，不能照搬市场经济运作机制，应当考虑它无法估算的久远的社会价值，在市场经济条件下更重要的是适应整个社会生产力发展。     

论矿业权无形资产评估的可行性

论证矿业权制度的设立、矿业权流转及矿业权价值评估的必要性，这仅仅是问题的一方面。另一方面还应揭示出矿业权价值来源于何处，需找到价值补偿的源泉。本文论述矿山地租的形成、表现形式，它与超客利润的联系以及矿产资源开采收益、矿业权使用费和矿业权价值上的具体体现。     

公益创业的意义、困境及其发展思路

公益创业有别于传统创业理念,是社会价值创造的一种新范式。改革成果为公益创业的发展提供资金、技术、经验等支撑,但公益创业在中国还有很远的路要走,还有很多难点制约着公益创业的发展。客观地剖析公益创业发展中公益创业教育匮乏、政府的保障与护航力度薄弱、企业的支持与参与性意识不强、社会舆论氛围的消极性等难点,为探索公益创业发展路径提供针对性探讨。

企业国际化与产业集群国际化比较研究

文章认为,经济国际化是当今世界经济发展大趋势。作为一个国家或地区经济国际化发展的主要载体,企业国际化水平或产业集群国际化水平正成为一国或地区经济国际竞争力的重要表现。文章通过比较分析指出,企业国际化和产业集群国际化之间有着共同的内涵和相互促进作用,但在先后次序、主体构成、风险和绩效等方面也有重要差别。     

The social value of income information in a model with market power and endogenous variety

The present paper analyzes the value of public information in a general equilibrium economy with imperfect competition. The welfare effects of an improved information system for perfectly competitive economies have been extensively investigated in the published literature. Schlee (2001) shows that the value of information is always negative in exchange economies if an efficient risk sharing mechanism exists. In contrast, in economies with production, better information reduces welfare provided consumers are sufficiently risk-averse ( Eckwert and Zilcha 2000, 2003 ). In the present paper it will be shown that this result is robust if the production sector exhibits monopolistic competition in the Chamberlinian sense. Even so, the inefficiency of equilibria adds further potential for positive welfare effects of improved information. A model is presented where the degree of market imperfection is positively linked to the value of information. If the markup on competitive prices is sufficiently high, the value of information is positive; that is, better information increases economic welfare.     

The Relationship between Fair Value,Market Value,and Efficient Markets*

This paper proposes that an assumption of reasonable market efficiency is at the essence of the relevance of fair value for financial reporting purposes. The paper's examination of this proposal begins with a review of recent academic literature on market efficiency, and on evidence of inefficiencies and their implications for the ability of the efficient market hypothesis to explain what market prices represent. It concludes that there is wide acceptance in this literature that a reasonable level of efficiency can generally be presumed to exist in active, well‐regulated capital markets. The paper examines the essential attributes of a reasonably efficient market for fair value measurement purposes, and some basic implications for its reliable estimation. This is done in comparison with the provisions of the fair value measurement standard of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards [SFAS] No. 157). It is concluded that the concept of reasonable market efficiency could provide a sound conceptual framework for defining fair value that is founded in real, observable market prices. It is demonstrated that, in contrast, SFAS No. 157 does not provide a clear, unequivocal concept of fair value, and that it permits estimates of fair value that have no demonstrable basis in real, observable market prices. Nevertheless, it appears that arguments typically put forward by the International Accounting Standards Board and the FASB for the relevance of fair value for financial reporting purposes do imply a presumption of reasonably efficient markets.     

价值工程在建设项目投资控制中的应用

在项目建设过程中,当我们将价值工程的理念应用于工程项目管理的投资控制领域时,建设项目投资自然而然地成为价值研究的对象。我们可以将建设项目的功能加以分析,然后与具体实施外部环境、经济技术的要求及投资估算相对应,应用价值系数评价来进行建设项目实施方案的创新,然后确定实施方案或者对实际方案进行改进,可以达到提高投资决策及实施水平的目的。
