Contractual Practice and Land Conflicts: The ‘Plant & Share’ Arrangement in Côte d'Ivoire

This paper tackles the broad issue of agrarian contracts, property rights and conflicts in the context of rural Côte d'Ivoire. Since the beginning of the 2000s, a new type of contractual arrangement has been developing rapidly: the ‘Plant & Share’ contract. Through such a contract, a landowner provides the land to a farmer who develops a perennial tree crop plantation; when production starts, the plantation, the plantation and the land, or the product is shared. The aim of the paper is to discuss the conflictive features of the arrangement. I argue that this contract, in spite of its potential for tensions and conflicts, constitutes an alternative to the much more conflictive land sales that currently dominate extra‐familial land transfers in the country.     

重点国有林区产业结构综合效益的影响及评价

通过测算2003~2013年重点国有林区产业结构综合效益指数Z及产业结构贡献份额指数Z',对林区产业结构综合效益进行综合评价,得到以下主要结论:2003~2013年Z值与Z'值均大于零,反映了期间林区产业结构效益较好,产业结构实现了一定程度的优化;2005~2010年Z值与Z'值的变动趋势始终保持很高的一致性水平,说明产业结构调整长期以来对重点国有林区产业结构效益及经济发展具有重要影响;2003~2004年Z值和Z'值的变动趋势是相反的,Z值上升,Z'值下降,说明技术进步因素对改善林区产业结构效益同样具有积极作用。建议进一步调整和优化产业结构,增加产业发展的技术含量,为重点国有林区充分应对全面停伐新常态提供支撑。     

Customer perceived value,satisfaction, and loyalty: the role of willingness to share information

This study proposes and tests an integrative model to examine the relationships among customers’ willingness to share information, satisfaction, perceived value, and loyalty in a retailing context. This study extends research on customers’ willingness to share information from trust and privacy concerns toward key outcome measures such as perceived value, customer satisfaction, and loyalty, and is thus among the first to model customers’ willingness to share information with companies in robust theoretical retailing frameworks. The proposed relationships were tested using data from two retailing contexts – groceries (N = 429) and do-it-yourself (DIY) (N = 895). Findings from the two samples suggest that both perceived value and satisfaction are significant determinants of customers’ willingness to share information with a company. Although some differences emerge in the two studies, structural modeling largely supports the hypothesized framework and positions customers’ willingness to share information as an important antecedent of their loyalty intentions and behavior. This study provides practitioners with preliminary insight into the relationship between willingness to share information and perceived value, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty. This study advances retailing research, as it is one of the few empirical studies investigating the role of customers’ willingness to share information in driving loyalty and its relationship with perceived value and satisfaction in a retailing context.     

关于农地股份合作社的考察

农地股份合作社是有中国特色的农业合作社。农地股份合作社必须优先维护入社农民的土地权益,构建民主平等的内部治理机制,优先安排社员就业。农地股份合作社是农民增加纯农业收入的长效机制,是土地适度规模经营的有效载体,是现行农地制度变迁的重要成果,是农业合作社的高级形式。当务之急是通过立法赋予农地股份合作社以民事主体资格。

Yours,mine, and ours: A user-centric analysis of opportunities and challenges in peer-to-peer asset sharing

The sharing economy is growing globally in terms of user numbers, service providers, and novel concepts. Peer-to-peer (P2P) asset sharing, or asset rental between private individuals, has attracted the attention of entrepreneurs and researchers alike. P2P asset-sharing networks need to focus on two distinct customer groups: (1) asset owners willing to rent out their assets, and (2) renters interested in renting others’ assets. Despite consumers’ high interest in P2P asset sharing, participation rates lag projections, which is mainly attributable to lack of participating asset owners. This could be problematic for P2P networks as they do not own assets; instead, they rely on a sufficient number of asset owners to participate. Detailed indications on the participation motives of users are required to distinctly position P2P asset sharing and enhance communication of consumer-relevant benefits. To this end, we have engaged in a detailed investigation of participation motives in the P2P car-sharing context. We have conducted in-depth interviews with car owners and renters to derive usage types that represent consumer decision profiles that participate in P2P car-sharing services. Based on our findings, we provide extensive recommendations to entrepreneurs in the P2P asset-sharing market.     

基于我国四大国有控股银行比较优势的信贷经营模式建构

我国四大国有控股商业银行当前的信贷模式主要借鉴美国商业银行的做法，以客户信用评级为切入点，实行单个分支机构对单个客户的经营。它对四大行来讲，实际上是扬短避长。四大行应当立足现代市场特点，充分利用机构网点和客户多的优势，重构信贷模式，才能实现信贷业务的又好又快发展。
