高校内审践行“免疫系统”功能的途径和方式

审计“免疫系统”论的提出,对推动审计理论发展具有划时代意义。内部审计如何践行审计“免疫系统”功能,已成为一个现实而又迫切的问题。本文认为,践行“免疫系统”功能可以从四个方面着手：准确把握科学内涵,做好理论准备;提升人员综合素质,做好人才支撑;拓展审计业务,推动理论认识转变为审计存在;保持独立性,防范冒进思潮。     

博弈论和委托代理理论视角下的反洗钱监管研究

本文从反洗钱监管机构和金融机构的博弈分析入手,研究监管的最优化问题。分析得出监管机构必须对金融机构进行反洗钱约束,否则金融机构就会违规获益;最优事后监管并不能杜绝违规行为,而只是将违规行为控制在一定的范围;有效反洗钱监管需要额外成本等结论。在此基础上,本文提出实现我国反洗钱最优监管的政策建议。

创新博弈中政府与企业的互动演化均衡

创新对提高企业的竞争力,促进社会进步和经济发展具有十分重要的意义。由于创新的风险和不确定性,使得创新在很大程度上取决于创新主体——政府和企业的行为。本文以进化博弈的复制动态方法为工具,构建了创新进化博弈模型,分析了在创新过程中,政府与企业的策略互动及其均衡。本文证明:政府的有效激励会促使企业选择创新,而企业的创新热情将促进政府建立和完善创新激励机制,博弈的进化均衡是政府从制度上确保降低企业创新的外部成本以激励企业进行创新,企业则选择持续创新以追逐创新收益。     

我国棉花产业短期竞争行为的治理分析

近期,由于受国际金融危机的影响,我国棉花产业陷入了十分困难的境地,企业的短期竞争行为频繁发生。本文运用博弈论相关知识,分析了企业短期竞争行为的发生机理,进而指出了与棉花直接相关的棉花种植、收购、加工企业所组成的棉花产业的短期竞争行为发生的主要原因,并提出相应治理对策,以减少棉花产业的短期竞争行为。     

第三方物流企业定价机制的供需博弈分析

社会的发展促进了当今物流企业特别是第三方物流企业的兴起。同时,随着第三方物流企业的大量兴起与全球化市场的形成,第三方物流企业之间的竞争逐渐加剧。目前,第三方物流企业仍处于起步阶段,还存在多方面的问题,特别是定价机制与物流服务,因此,笔者力图通过分析传统定价机制的不足,将博弈的原理运用于第三方物流企业在标准物流服务与核心物流服务的定价机制中去,从而更有利于第三方物流企业为外部企业提供服务。

Personality and older consumers’ green behaviour in the UK

The UK government has set an ambitious target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% before 2050. An interesting segment that could help to achieve this is older consumers, due to their growing numbers. There seems to be a lack of attention, in the research looking specifically at different age categories of older consumers’ green behaviour, and whether their level of greenness can be explained by their personality. Using Socioemotional Selectivity Theory and Time Perspective, the research presented here was designed to provide an exploratory analysis of how the green behaviour of older consumers is explained by their personality types. Based on the responses of 204 older consumers in the UK, our results find the openness personality trait to be positively linked to green behaviour, whilst the extraversion personality trait is negatively related to green behaviour. Although the level of green behaviour increased with older consumers’ age, this did not reach significance.     

Measurement of patient-reported outcomes. 1: The search for the Holy Grail

Abstract

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are used to collect information directly from patients. They may cover several different types of outcomes ranging from symptoms, functioning, utility, satisfaction, through to quality-of-life (QoL). They generally consist of self-completed questionnaires that can be administered by means of hard copies or in a range of electronic formats. PROMs vary considerably in terms of the constructs they assess, the care with which they are developed, and their scientific quality. However, none of the PROMs available approach the quality of measurement achieved by measures/instruments used in physics. PROs are examples of latent variables. These are not directly observable, but can be inferred from, for example, responses to a questionnaire. The only measure of a latent variable that approaches the quality of measurement achieved by the physical sciences is the Lexile Framework for Reading. This framework is based on a construct theory that grew out of an analysis of several available reading measures. A specification equation was generated that was able to link the construct theory to scores obtained with the Lexile measure. A fundamental requirement of this quality of measurement is that the data collected with the model fit Rasch Measurement Theory (RMT). It is argued that PROM developers should aspire to match this level of measurement sophistication if their instruments are to provide valid insights into the impacts of disease and its treatment.
