GRADING JOURNALS IN ECONOMICS: THE ABCS OF THE ABDC

Many institutions and governments grade academic journals for the evaluation of research. In this paper, we implement a multi-bibliometric methodology for the evaluation of such a list of journal grades. We examine the grades assigned by the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) for over 750 journals in the fields of economics and statistics. Firstly, we generate up to 48 bibliometric-based grades for each journal based on the grade distribution implied by the ABDC. Secondly, we categorize the bibliometrics employing a cluster analysis of an interrater agreement statistic. Thirdly, we present a visualization of the consistency of the grading by journal. Finally, we list those journals where the majority of the matched bibliometrics indicate a higher or lower grade than their ABDC grade.     

What drives the effectiveness of industrial clusters? Exploring the impact of contextual,structural and functioning determinants

This study examines how contextual, structural and functioning characteristics of industrial clusters influence their effectiveness. We develop a conceptual framework that identifies potential influencing factors, validate the factors statistically, and estimate the factors’ impact on cluster effectiveness. Our results show that among the important determinants of cluster effectiveness are long-term planning security and procedural trust among the cooperating firms (contextual conditions), formalized rules and sustainable structures (structural elements), and clear goals and tasks (functioning characteristics). However, the results also reveal that some determinants assessed as important in the literature do not seem to have a positive impact on effectiveness. Our results not only modify general assumptions in cluster research concerning the drivers of cluster effectiveness, but also assist firms and policy-makers in conceptualizing successful new clusters.     

A top-down creation of a cultural cluster for urban regeneration: The case of OCT Loft,Shenzhen

Researchers of related topics agree that the large-scale top-down development of a creative cluster by a real estate developer may obstruct rather than facilitate creativity and creative entrepreneurialism. OCT Loft, a design industry park in Shenzhen, China, is being celebrated as an exception. Based on analyses of primary and secondary data, we find that the Loft’s success can be attributed to two factors. First, the choice of design as the target industry was appropriate. Design is a fast-growing industry and thus needs space for expansion. Second, the developer chose tenants with good reputations in the industry rather than those offering the highest rent. Both these factors are difficult to implement. First, a growing industry is hard to find in a city where urban regeneration is needed. Second, the majority of developers cannot pass up maximising rent for a good reputation as OCT did. Indeed, OCT was able to pursue the Loft’s creative success because giving a good impression to potential clients was expected to result in future opportunities that would raise profit further. In sum, a large-scale top-down development can facilitate creative entrepreneurialism but only when the developer is not hasty in demanding an immediate return on investment.

论产业集群背景下的浙江高等职业教育发展

近年来,浙江省高职教育发展迅猛,高职人才培养质量不断得到提升,然而在以产业集群为优势特征的浙江经济发展对人才需求特点,与高职院校人才供求之间存在错位。应有效培养浙江省高职教育针对产业案群对高职人才需求专业性、行业性、区域性、层次性特征,特别是在发挥政府职能之余,要挖掘院校潜力,吸引行业协会参与,搭建多渠道＂立交桥＂,创建出高职教育的品牌。     

浙江传统制造产业群与专业市场互动发展研究

浙江传统制造产业群和专业市场之间已形成共生共荣、互动发展的关系,形成了浙江经济增长的长波效应。但面临全球产业转移和产业升级的挑战、高质量商品缺乏配套的市场销售机制的挑战和生产企业集团化与专业市场辐射面之间矛盾的挑战。应施以构建先进制造业基地,形成大产业区与大市场之间的良性互动;加大政府对市场建设的调控力度和形成以功能创新、转型和重组为主旋律的市场新机制,提高整体素质,取得更大的效益。

基于GEM模型的辽宁镁质材料产业集群竞争力研究

运用一种研究产业集群竞争力的量化分析工具——GEM模型,构建辽宁镁质材料产业集群竞争力评价表,对该集群的供给要素、需求要素、结构要素等方面进行了竞争力的综合分析。表明:辽宁镁质材料产业集群在全国范围内已经有一定的竞争力,其资源、供应商与本地辅助行业、内部市场、外部市场等指标得分均超过全国平均水平,在设施、企业结构、战略和竞争方面得分都低于全国平均水平,后者已成为制约其进一步发展的瓶颈因素,并从"基础","企业","市场"方面给出了提升辽宁镁质材料产业集群竞争力对策建议。     

基于生态系统服务空间流的洪涝调节 服务需求制图与生态空间优先级识别

中国快速城市化地区面临严重洪涝风险和洪涝调节 服务供需空间的分离。为识别在满足洪涝调节服务需求方面重 要性高的生态空间以纳入保护的优先级,提出了一种在生态空 间中绘制洪涝调节服务需求的新技术：基于生态系统服务空间 流,利用流量、流边界、流方向、分配原则及其修正因子4个 多维指标,表征将服务需求从建设空间向生态空间分配与投射 过程的关键环节。结果显示：面积大、人口密度高的建设空间 存在高需求流量;借助水文空间流,服务需求由建设空间被分 配至同一集水区内具有洪涝调节能力的生态空间中;被投射为 高服务需求的生态空间大多规模较大或紧邻高需求的建成空 间。通过控制流量、扩展流区域、增加流方向和提升生态空间 服务供应能力,能有效调控投射于生态空间内的洪涝调节服务 高需求。     

浙江省各县市服务业吸收劳动力情况的实证研究

服务业是未来吸收劳动力的主要途径。文章主要通过聚类分析将浙江省各县市按照本地劳动力在服务业的分配分成几类,然后再分别对这几类的数据进行主成分分析,找出它们在服务业领域的比较优势,进而根据分析结果得出结论。浙江省的各个县市在服务业发展方面都具有各自的潜力与主要发展方向,未来浙江省的三大产业比重会调整到“三、二、一”的局面,服务业在吸收劳动力方面将发挥更加巨大的作用。
