农村居民旅游消费影响因素研究

在考察旅游需求经济理论的基础上,选择1994-2008年的年度数据为样本,利用协整分析与误差修正模型实证分析了农村居民旅游消费的决定因素。结果表明,农村居民旅游消费不仅受自身收入、消费习惯等因素的制约,而且受城镇居民旅游消费的影响。农村居民旅游消费收入弹性大,人均可支配收入仍是其旅游消费的最大制约因素;农村居民旅游消费有显著的不可逆性,＂棘轮效应＂明显;城镇居民旅游消费行为对农村居民有显著的＂示范效应＂。此外,农村居民居住消费对旅游消费有＂挤出效应＂。因此,在继续重视增加农民收入、拉动旅游消费的同时,可通过培养其良好的消费习惯、建立城镇居民旅游消费的正面示范机制,发展农村旅游休闲消费。     

Regional disparity of embedded carbon footprint and its sources in China: a consumption perspective

Carbon emission reduction could be achieved through extensive cooperation between relevant groups such as businesses, governments and consumers. Generally, carbon emissions stem from consumer behaviour. To tackle the increasingly serious energy crisis and climate change in China, it is thus vital to control carbon emissions generated by the country's urban consumers. From a consumption perspective, we utilize a self-organizing feature map model to analyse the spatial differentiation of per capita embedded carbon footprint (ECF) in urban China. We found that the spatial differentiation is significant with the per capita ECF of the east coastal area at a high level and that per capita disposable income is the key factor affecting ECF. Based on these findings, potential business opportunities to develop low-carbon products are discussed.     

中国式分权下的电力需求与经济增长

在中国式分权的背景下,出于缓解自身财政压力和政治晋升等动因,地方政府的投资行为会直接或间接地影响区域电力需求。采用系统广义矩估计方法对1999—2010年30个省区的动态面板系统进行估计分析,结果与理论预期相吻合：财政分权、电力需求、市场化都能促进经济增长,各省区的经济增长、第二产业比重、市场化程度、城市化水平显著地影响了电力需求,财政分权、人口、电力耗能指数与电力需求正相关,价格与电力需求负相关;而在不同省区,同一影响因素对电力需求的作用力度不同。     

成渝地区双城经济圈协同创新发展现状与对策

成渝地区双城经济圈的建设对于当前形成国内大循环的经济发展新格局具有重要的战略意义。本文以成渝地区制造业与生产性服务业协同集聚为研究对象,以城市层面的全要素生产率作为城市高质量发展的衡量指标,利用成渝地区16个城市2005-2018年数据,构建动态面板模型,采用系统GMM的方法实证检验成渝地区双城经济圈制造业与生产性服务业协同集聚对成渝地区城市全要素生产率的影响,并基于DEA-Malmquist的方法对城市全要素生产率进行分解,通过对产业协同集聚和全要素生产率水平的测算构建模型,并实证检验了产业协同集聚对生产率影响的效果,提出通过平台共建、政策共通、市场共融以及人才共用等方面建立一体化协同发展体系推动成渝地区双城经济圈协同创新发展。     

Customer Satisfaction with Consumption Systems

ABSTRACT

Purpose: This research examines how satisfaction toward a product and its associated services offered together by a single provider jointly affects behavioral intentions toward the provider.

Design/methodology/approach: In this study, empirical tests were conducted using longitudinal data spanning 5 years from a multinational company that offers both products and associated services as part of a consumption system to their customers.

Findings: Results show a joint congruent effect of product and services satisfaction on behavioral intentions is linear and positive. It appears that offering great service cannot compensate for less-than-adequate satisfaction toward the product. The results further highlight decreasing customer sensitivity to improvements in both sources of satisfaction and imply that focusing on too high levels of one type of satisfaction for their customers can actually be counterproductive for firms.

Research Limitations: Our model was tested using the data obtained from a single firm. Future research could test this model with data from multiple firms in various different industries and establish broader generalizability to the findings.

Practical Implications: Findings provide managers with insights on how to allocate resources across product and service spaces and to manage product and services revenues over time. Results also indicate that customer behavioral intention ratings are more weighted on product quality over the service received by them. However, mere improvements in the product cannot provide the highest desired results and therefore quality improvements in the product need to be complemented by improvements in service quality.

Originality/Value: There is a rapid emergence of the phenomenon of manufacturers providing both products and services as an integrated consumption system to their customers. While the provision of both product and service subsystems by the same firm leads to certain synergies, there are obvious costs to the development of new service capabilities and coordination with existing product capabilities. Our research intends to address this issue.     

What is digital possession and how to study it: a conversation with Russell Belk,Rebecca Mardon,Giana M. Eckhardt,Varala Maraj,Will Odom,Massimo Airoldi,Alessandro Caliandro,Mike Molesworth and Alessandro Gandini

ABSTRACT

The platformisation of digital consumption, means that increasingly many of the things that we call ours – our messages, photos, music, achievements – are entangled in complex socio-technical arrangements which require ongoing market mediation. In this context, refining our understanding of what digital possessions are and how to study them is vital. This requires refocusing research away from existing comparative analyses between digital and material possessions. To do so, we organised an interdisciplinary roundtable discussion with critical marketers and digital media scholars, consumer researchers, digital sociologists and researchers in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) at the 11^th Interpretive Consumer Research Conference held in Lyon in May 2019. The result of that discussion is this curation of comments which deal with theoretical, methodological and critical issues and a bold agenda for future research.     

Farmers' consumption of an imported cereal and the cash/foodcrop decision: An example from Senegal

The effects of key agricultural policies on Senegalese farmers are analysed through a survey combining farming systems research methods, family budgets, dietary and anthropometric studies for the same rural households. Policies impact their food consumption through farm and non-farm incomes, prices of inputs, extension and research, and the prices of basic foods. Food consumption is closely related to family success in mixed cropping, but millet remains the basic rural food. Although rice has deeply penetrated rural markets, a maintenance of export earnings will require simultaneous gains in yields for both cash and traditional foodcrops.

Extending the input–output model with assets

In this paper, the input–output model is extended with assets. It allows us to examine the various assets that are held and used in production. The requirements of assets that must be held by each sector can thus be specified. Extending the input–output model with assets provides a better alternative to the capital stock matrix in the standard Systems of National Accounts. The input–output model is extended by taking the depreciation of fixed assets into full account. This extension allows for the calculation of total holding coefficients that express the amount of assets that are required to be held in each sector in order to satisfy a unit of final demand. In addition, a dynamic version of the extended model is presented. The extended input–output model has been widely applied in China for various purposes.
