西周不存在户籍制度

有很多学者认为,西周时已经形成了户籍制度。可是对比后代的一些史实我们会发现西周不可能存在户籍制,原因有三:一、从户籍制度形成的条件来分析,西周不可能存在户籍制度;二、《周礼》所记载的户籍制度不是西周时的实际制度;三、《国语》中的记载也能说明西周时不存在户籍制度。真正的户籍制度形成于战国时期。

双重二元结构下化解西部农村融资难的对策——基于演化博弈理论的研究

长期的赶超战略使我国形成了城乡和东西叠加的双重二元结构。本文通过对双二元结构下的政府政策与西部农村金融机构的支农行为进行演化博弈分析,得出如下结论:政府的激励、约束政策以及西部农村金融机构支农的净损失是影响机构支农和政府缩小双重二元结构差距目标实现的决定因素;在实现政府目标的初期,约束政策较激励政策更有效;随着政府目标实现程度的提高,激励政策将发挥更大效用;目前政府实行的单向激励政策作用不大;现阶段政府应该在强化约束政策的同时进一步加大激励政策力度,使西部农村金融机构在积极支农的同时实现可持续发展。     

Institutional environment and firms' sources of financial capital in Central and Eastern Europe

The external business environment is a major determinant of which sources firms select to obtain financial capital. We examine how the regulatory, political, and financial dimensions of the institutional environment influence the extent to which firms rely on informal sources of financial capital. The analyses of data from 2869 firms in twenty-six transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) indicate that ineffective regulatory system, underdeveloped financial system, and government corruption are strong determinants of firms' reliance on informal channels for financial capital. We also find that smaller firms are more vulnerable when the local financial system is underdeveloped and the regulatory institutions are less effective in these transition economies. A subgroup analysis of firms' forms of establishment shows that private firms are sensitive to the level of development of the local financial system and state-owned enterprises are particularly sensitive to the degree of corruption.     

The geography of air freight: connections to U.S. metropolitan economies

Despite the rapid growth of air freight shipments, much of the existing literature on the geography of air transportation has paid more attention to passenger travel than air freight. The purpose of this paper is to elevate our understanding of air freight by determining which specific variables most influence and shape the geographic distribution of air freight by metropolitan area using stepwise regression analysis. The empirical results suggest a regression model of five independent variables was the most parsimonious solution where the final model accounted for 71.1% of the variation in air freight shipments by metropolitan area (MA). The most important predictor was the traffic shadow effect, where less populated MAs under the traffic shadow of larger MAs tended to generate lower levels of freight. The model also suggested that other key predictors included the employment market share in transportation-shipping-logistics industries, per capita personal income, the number of medical diagnostic and supplier establishments, and above average wages in high technology. Overall, metropolitan markets with diverse and efficient ground support systems, freight forwarders and other transportation services, a more affluent population, an intense agglomeration of medical laboratories and related suppliers, and a well paid skilled workforce engaged in computer systems design and electronic product manufacturing are more likely to ship freight by air.     

西部大开发应对反倾销的会计策略研究——基于反倾销实证分析的视角

我国是全球遭遇反倾销诉讼最多、受害最大的国家,这对经济全球化背景下的西部大开发也是一种警示。我们在对国际反倾销的新动向和我国遭遇反倾销现状进行实证分析的基础上,提出了西部大开发应对反倾销会计策略的理论框架。该研究对于西部大开发互利共赢开放战略的实施,促进西部地区更好地利用两个市场、两种资源,拓展与周边国家、地区经贸合作,完善经济全球化条件下的西部开发战略支持体系,优化宏观政策层的决策,都将具有十分重大的理论价值和现实指导意义。     

基于聚集经济的产业集群理论模型

为了扩大产业集群规模,我国地方政府竞相出台各种优惠政策,极力降低企业的准入门槛.从理论上看,上述政策的作用是有限的.本文在分析集群企业成本和市场均衡的基础上提出了扩大集群规模的两种方法,认为提高聚集经济才是最根本的方法.     

转轨制国家国内横向资本税竞争的模型分析

本文分析了转轨制国家国内地方政府间的资本税竞争,认为一定条件下的地方政府间资本税竞争可以在一定程度上提高全国居民的福利水平;不过,经济转轨初期的各地方政府似乎更愿意采取协同一致的税收政策,因为实行这样的税收政策对地方政府的自身利益较为有利。     

In search of diners responsive to health cues: Insights from U.S. consumers

Many consumers rely on summary statistics offered by online and mobile platforms to attain nutrition information on menu items. While positive (vs. negative) summary cues garner more favorable consumer responses, this research provides a more nuanced understanding of this effect by examining the moderating role of two individual-level characteristics: health-consciousness and need for status. Two MTurk samples (Study 1: n = 142, Study 2: n = 119) were recruited in 2018. Findings from Study 1 suggest that health-conscious (vs. less health-conscious) consumers show a wider gap in perceived healthiness of a menu item in response to the valence of a health cue. This greater gap translates into more polarized attitudes toward the menu item. Findings from Study 2 indicate that consumers high (vs. low) in need for status exhibit less favorable attitudes toward a menu item with a negative health cue. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.
