The Service Industries and Input-Output Analysis

This paper makes an empirical investigation into the influence of service innovativeness on the relationship between market orientation and innovative performance, first as a moderator with specified interaction effects, and secondly as a mediator in the path from market orientation to innovative performance. A sample of 169 new service development (NSD) projects in Chinese knowledge-intensive business service firms provides the data for an empirical test of these issues. The results indicate that service innovativeness does not play a moderating role in the relationship between market orientation and innovative performance, but a mediating role in this relationship. For NSD, project, innovativeness is only a temporary trait. The impact of market orientation is to spur innovativeness, which, in turn, affects innovative performance.     

旅游餐饮市场信用缺失与政府监管

文章在分析我国旅游餐饮市场信用缺失的特点、危害的基础上,运用博弈矩阵模型对旅游餐饮市场信用缺失与政府监管的关系进行了剖析,认为在政府缺位的情况下,旅游餐饮商家为了经济利益将始终采取欺客宰客行为。所以,政府对旅游餐饮市场的干预和监管是必须的。政府应不断完善法规和管理制度、提升监管技术水平并加大对欺诈行为的制裁力度。     

论市场经济条件下行政伦理的趋向性选择

行政管理者伦理素质水平的高低,在很大程度上会决定其在行政管理过程中、特别是行政决策中的能力和水平。不同社会政治经济条件下,行政伦理的趋向性要求会有不同。随着我国政治经济体制从计划经济体制转变到了市场经济体制,行政伦理的要求和衡量标准也会有较大的区别,全面地认识和探讨市场经济条件下行政伦理的趋向性问题,对于我们更自觉的进行行政伦理的建设很有现实意义。     

Exploring the Impact of Cultural Value Orientations on Market Mavenism and Opinion Leadership

Market mavens and opinion leaders are two key types of consumer influentials. The focus of this research is to extend their predictor characteristics by drawing on the four-way horizontal and vertical individualism-collectivism typology. The theoretical and practical contributions of this study are established by the findings based on the survey data collected from 313 online consumer panelists in the United States. Market mavenism and opinion leadership were independent yet moderately related concepts. Vertical individualism and horizontal collectivism were significant predictors of both market mavenism and opinion leadership while horizontal individualism affected only market mavenism. Vertical collectivism did not predict either type of consumer influentials. Interaction with service employees moderated the relationships between horizontal collectivism and market mavenism and between vertical individualism and opinion leadership.     

韩国疗养保健客源市场分析

疗养保健客源市场是发展涉外疗养保健服务贸易的关键所在。早在2000年韩国已经步入老龄化社会,且老龄化趋势持续进一步加剧。利用韩国统计厅公布的资料,从韩国的人口结构、医疗保健、社会环境、社会福利分析入手,深入研究韩国疗养保健客源市场,发现韩国特定的人口结构状况及医疗保健等方面存在诸多问题,可为我国开发韩国老龄人口疗养保健市场提供可能性和必要性。     

充分发挥商贸流通业稳定物价的功能作用

目前,我国正处于防止通货膨胀上升为主要目标的经济环境中,在治理通胀的过程中,一定要慎用直接干预.商贸流通服务业在众多供求矛盾的结构性问题上,对扼制、稳定物价,特别是稳定居民消费价格具有强大功能；电子商务、网上购物已经成为化解通胀的生力军,可以低成本为民生提供便利和节约时间,充分展示天然化解时空矛盾的功能；同时,积极引导商贸流通业增强经营决策的预见性,对大宗商品、农产品价格波动,要深入细致具体分析,做到两个分清；而体制性、制度性成本是最大祸害,“十二五”规划应该将降低流通领域的体制性成本作为主攻方向.另外,必须剔除轻商蔑商的封建意识,构造公平公正的舆论氛围,澄清商人的是非功过,搞清商人存在的缘由和真相,还商人以正面的社会形象.     

Estimating switching costs after introducing Fixed-Mobile Convergence in Japan

In this study, based on a conjoint-type survey analysis, the switching cost of several Japanese telecom services are empirically examined simultaneously, contingent on each carrier’s bundling strategies. The results suggest the following conclusions. The hierarchy of switching costs is mobile phone service, fixed phone service, ISP (Internet Service Provider), and broadband access service, in descending order. Even if the government prohibits the formerly state-owned monopoly NTT from forming alliances with other carriers, the legacy NTT group would still command more than half of the market share under FMC if each carrier adopts a pure bundling strategy. If mixed bundling emerges as the primary strategy in the FMC market, the resulting type of competition from the introduction of FMC does not stimulate competitive pricing.     

Parity reversion persistence in real exchange rates: middle income country case

This article investigates purchasing power parity (PPP) in the specific context of middle income countries. To circumvent the low power of traditional stationarity tests (Augmented Dickey-Fuller and Phillips-Perron tests), it performs variance ratio and fractional integration tests in addition to Perron's test that accounts for potential structural changes in real exchange rate processes. Beyond estimating half-life shocks to PPP, this article attempts to explain these estimates using a set of country specific variables as suggested by economic theory. The evidence suggests that reversion to parity tends to be faster in high inflation countries and that productivity improvement leads to a higher level of persistence. Openness to trade tends to reduce the extent of deviations from parity but this result does not appear to be statistically robust. Evidence shows also that deviations are less persistent under a fixed exchange rate regime and under unrestricted capital mobility.     

Liquidity and market makers: a pseudo-experimental analysis with ultrahigh frequency data

An analysis is given of the effect of market makers on liquidity using a transaction-level database. For this purpose, the focus is on a financial market where a change in regulations created explicitly the category of market maker in 1997 and that date is used to construct a pseudo-experiment. In contrast with other studies that use ultrahigh frequency data, the days to be analysed are selected using a statistical procedure to match observations before and after the change in regulation. The propensity score is used to perform the matching. After choosing the days, an estimate of an ordered probit model is made to explain the intraday behaviour of price changes. The coefficient estimates from the ordered probit model are used to calculate a measure of liquidity based on the steepness of the response function of price changes to volume. The results show that liquidity, measured in this way, has not been affected by the introduction of the market makers.     

中国U型储蓄的分析

我国的储蓄率逐渐变为U型和国外的倒U型是相反的。退休后的储蓄率高于工作的人的储蓄率，出现了和生命周期理论相违背的现象。这种趋势从1995年开始，到2000年出现大的上升，到2005年趋势非常明显。
