Antecedents of organizational identification in multinational corporations: fostering psychological attachment to the local subsidiary and the global organization

This article reports the results of an empirical case study of the antecedents of organizational identification among local managers in a multinational corporation (MNC). Organizational identification, which refers to an individual's psychological attachment to the organization, has gained increasing attention because of its assumed link with behaviour associated with enhanced organizational performance. Yet little work has been done on what fosters organizational identification, particularly within the context of a MNC. Moreover, there is empirical evidence showing that managerial employees of MNCs draw a distinction between their local subsidiary and the global organization as manifest in separate group identifications. This suggests that there may be differential sets of antecedents of identification with the local subsidiary and with the global organization. The results of the present study indicate that there are different sets of factors that promote identification with the local and global levels of the organization. The results further show a complementarity of causal variables; identification with the local subsidiary is fostered primarily by factors which pertain to the local company context, while identification with the global organization is fostered primarily by factors which pertain to the MNC as a global entity.     

Nonparametric identification of regression models containing a misclassified dichotomous regressor without instruments

We observe a dependent variable and some regressors, including a mismeasured binary regressor. We provide identification of the nonparametric regression model containing this misclassified dichotomous regressor. We obtain identification without parameterizations or instruments, by assuming the model error isn't skewed.     

ECONOMETRIC TESTS OF ASSET PRICE BUBBLES: TAKING STOCK*

Abstract Can asset price bubbles be detected? This survey of econometric tests of asset price bubbles shows that, despite recent advances, econometric detection of asset price bubbles cannot be achieved with a satisfactory degree of certainty. For each paper that finds evidence of bubbles, there is another one that fits the data equally well without allowing for a bubble. We are still unable to distinguish bubbles from time‐varying or regime‐switching fundamentals, while many small sample econometrics problems of bubble tests remain unresolved.     

Underdog consumption: An exploration into meanings and motives

Marketers frequently position business concerns - whether brands, teams, or stores - as the non market-dominant entity (or the “underdog”). This article examines the motives for underdog support through in-depth interviews and a focus group. Findings suggest that underdog consumers support underdogs out of empathy, as a way to ensure the maintenance of equal opportunity in competition, and as a way to provide personal inspiration. Some motives for underdog support can be interpreted to be anti-consumption (or, at least, anti-corporate) in nature. On the other hand, many underdog consumers support and identify with underdogs not necessarily as a way to keep the top dog down, but as a means to keep the little guy competing. Rather than solely “vote-against” behavior, “vote-for” behavior is very evident as well.     

Empirics of the Identification of Social Interactions; An Evaluation of the Approaches and Their Results*

Abstract. Over the last decade, the study of social interactions in economic decision making has become an important area of research. The main objective of this paper is to survey the extent to which recent empirical contributions have succeeded in overcoming the identification problems as first formulated by Manski (1993). This discussion is followed by a comparison of empirical studies in three key areas of research: neighborhood effects, substance use among teenagers, and peer effects among university roommates. Finally, I discuss questions like: Can economists restrict attention to a specific subcategories of social interactions? How do we define social groups, and what is the importance of social interactions for public policy?

高新技术企业认定对企业全要素生产率的影响——基于双重差分方法的分析

基于2002—2018年中国A股上市公司面板数据，运用双重差分方法考察高新技术企业认定对企业全要素生产率的影响及机制。结果表明，高新技术企业认定显著促进相关企业全要素生产率提高，对企业高质量发展具有积极效应。机制检验结果显示，高新技术企业认定促进企业研发投入规模扩大和资本配置效率改善，进而有利于全要素生产率提升。进一步异质性检验结果表明，这种效应在高融资约束企业、处于成长成熟期企业和未进行研发操纵企业中更显著。此外，外部环境对政策实施效果具有重要影响。相关结论可以为高企认定政策效果评价提供新的研究视角，为我国完善选择性产业政策设计提供政策启示。     

购货方纳税筹划的选择——基于《增值税暂行条例》视角

一般纳税人购货方的纳税筹划方法有结算方式、进项税额抵扣时间、购货价格折让率基础上的议价、运费扣税平衡点等。而小规模纳税人购货方的纳税筹划仅为购货价格的选择。企业可以按照自身的纳税人身份科学地进行增值税的纳税筹划，以达到少缴税或递延纳税的目的，为企业利润最大化终极目标服务。
