常熟市社区公共体育服务供给和社区居民参与情况的调查

常熟市社区公共体育服务供给体系已基本形成,但仍存在居民的知情率与参与度不高、对居民的吸纳力度不够,场地设施的种类、质量以及保养维修服务不容乐观,社区体育信息服务内容的更新与价值还有待提高,以及居民公共体育服务权利意识相对淡薄等问题。因此,要进一步加强宣传和教育,增强广大社区居民的公共体育服务的权利意识,提高居民对社区公共体育服务的知情权和参与度,增强社区体育服务组织体系对居民的吸引力和接纳力,促进社区公共体育服务部门增加体育活动设施,并对其进行良好的维修和保养,确保社区公共体育服务体系的良性运转。     

全球向量自回归模型的理论、方法及其应用

全球向量自回归模型(GVAR)是将经典VAR模型加以扩展,使其能够用于分析世界各国或各地区之间经济联系的一种新的模型方法。本文阐述GVAR模型的理论、方法及其在中国经济分析中的应用。基于包含33个国家的GVAR模型,本文实证分析了中国与世界经济的相互影响。通过一般冲击反应函数方法分析中国需求冲击、美国需求冲击、美国债券市场价格和国际油价变动等冲击对中国和其他国家经济增长以及通货膨胀的传导机制、影响强度、持续时间等。结果显示,中国需求冲击对美国、欧元区、日本等主要工业化国家有显著影响,同时中国经济也受到美国债券价格变动较强烈的冲击。     

双向FDI协调发展对出口国内附加值率的影响——采用跨国面板数据的实证分析

一国的外商直接投资（IFDI）与对外直接投资（OFDI）之间存在相互促进的作用,两者高水平的协调发展会产生协同效应,进而强化单向国际投资的经济效应。利用UNCTAD的国际投资数据和TiVA数据库的增加值贸易数据,测算2000—2018年63个经济体的双向FDI协调发展水平（IFDI与OFDI的耦合协调度）和出口国内附加值率,并采用跨国面板数据进行实证检验。基准模型检验表明,双向FDI协调发展整体上具有出口国内附加值率提升效应;影响机制检验显示,双向FDI协调发展可以通过技术创新促进效应、产业结构升级效应和资源配置优化效应提升出口国内附加值率;异质性分析发现,双向FDI协调发展对出口国内附加值率的影响,在发达经济体中显著为正而在发展中经济体中显著为负,在金融发展水平较高经济体中显著为正而在金融发展水平较低经济体中不显著。应坚持“引进来”与“走出去”并重的双向FDI协调发展战略,根据国家发展战略需要采取有针对性策略,以双向FDI协调发展促进对外贸易利得持续增长,并通过国内经济高质量发展实现全球价值链地位不断提升。     

Spatial-Temporal Changes of Housing Bubbles in China’s Major Cities: 1999 to 2012

Existing literature is characterized by certain deficiencies in measuring housing bubbles in China. By extending the analytical framework of Black et al. (2006) to a spatial panel VAR structure, this paper measures housing bubbles in China’s 35 major cities from 1999Q2 to 2012Q3 and analyzes the spatial-temporal changes of the housing bubbles in these cities. Results indicate that 1) changes to housing bubbles in most cities highly correspond with changes in the main real estate policies of the country and 2) housing bubbles in eastern developed cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Ningbo, have been relatively large in recent years although the average housing bubble is not very serious over the 35 major cities. Through the Kernel Density Function and local indicators of spatial autocorrelation analysis, this paper finds that housing bubbles are concentrated in several eastern developed cities. Based on empirical analysis, this paper proposes policy recommendations on inhibiting the expansion and diffusion of housing bubbles.

Fueling ecological neglect in a manufactured tourist city: planning,disaster mapping,and environmental art in Cancun,Mexico

Abstract

This article explores how tourism urban governance fuels patterns of ecological neglect. It turns a critical eye on Cancun, a leading Caribbean beach tourist destination and battered epicenter of anthropogenic climate change. First, the article contextualizes Cancun’s design and construction as a state development project and manufactured tourist city. It describes the city’s socio-spatial segregation and highlights the role of hurricanes in processes of beach enclosure. Second, it explores a series of risk maps elaborated as responses to international demands on coastal disaster mitigation and beach erosion. I show how local authorities, academics, and the Mexican state are bound to disregard risk maps to further enclose the Caribbean beach and keep the city productive for tourism. Finally, I look at the adoption of anthropogenic narratives on climate change as tourist attractions in Cancun’s Underwater Museum of Art, a unique coalition between conservation, art and tour-operators in the city. I show that turning sea level rise and ocean acidification into tourist spectacles through copyrighted art, this attraction depoliticizes tourism’s responsibility in patterns of environmental degradation. The article serves to reflect on the tacit paradoxes that plague efforts to imagine alternative environmental politics and sustainable tourism urbanisms outside neoliberal trends.     

International financial institutions and the new global managerial order

This article is a contribution to the continuing debate within critical accounting and broader critical theory circles about the nature of capitalism in a globalized economic order. It argues that the contemporary economic environment cannot be adequately explained by traditional critical theories of imperialism. Through an analysis of the emergence of Mittal Steel Corporation as the world's largest steel producer, I document how international financial institutions encouraged the success of this new type of transnational corporation that is culturally grounded but not geographically bound to a hegemonic nation-state. The Mittal example suggests that globalization is fundamentally altering the relationship between international capital and the nation-state, and heralding the rise of international financial institutions (IFIs) as key actors in structuring a global, elite-driven order. The IFIs operate outside democratic control and scrutiny, and are able to impose their preferred economic solutions across the world.

Global Business Literacy in the Classroom: Developing and Applying an Assessment Framework

This study develops and applies a framework to evaluate undergraduate Global Business Literacy (GBL) learning outcomes, which is defined here as the ability to adapt and function in the global business context and to be knowledgeable about its core issues and trends. As a first step in a multi-stage research process, we used extant expatriate and global business education literature to develop a 58-item survey. Exploratory factor analysis of pre-test survey data from 166 seniors revealed five explanatory factors that we labeled self-efficacy (SE), willingness to learn (WTL), relationship development (RD), technical competence (TC), and self-awareness (SA). Next, we used the framework to complete a post-test study of the effectiveness of a classroom-based Global Business Colloquium at improving students' perceived GBL. A paired-samples t-test revealed mean increases/decreases in scores from Time 1 to Time 2 on four factors: SE, WTL, RD, and TC, but no significant difference in SA. We discuss future research directions and recommend potential pedagogical augmentation.
