经济先行指数与我国宏观经济增长的动态关系分析

信心与宏观经济波动关系的研究对改善和加强宏观经济管理具有重要意义。分析了我国企业家信心指数、消费者信心指数等7种经济先行指数与宏观经济增长的关系,结果表明,我国的经济先行指数与宏观经济增长之间存在着长期稳定关系,但各类经济先行指数对经济波动的敏感性差别较大,其中,企业家信心指数对我国宏观经济趋势的敏感性最强,消费者信心指数最不敏感。因此,为避免我国宏观经济的大幅波动,应通过财税政策和制度设计增强企业家信心。     

Testing for cointegration with threshold effect between unemployment and stock prices

Under the dominant role of a belief function, Farmer argues that the stock market is the Granger cause of the unemployment rate, which implies that the natural rate hypothesis is an outdated idea. This article provides some new empirical evidence supporting this view using threshold cointegration and asymmetric error correction models. The results show that these models can assess asymmetric dynamics between unemployment and the stock market. Moreover, regime switches of the momentum threshold autoregressive adjustment specification are highly consistent with recessions in the US economy during the last 60 years.     

Reducing crimes against wildlife through promoting animal–human continuity beliefs: The role of consumers' religiosity

Wildlife crime is a worldwide issue, but marketing research has been mostly silent on the topic. In particular, research has yet to understand how a consumer's level of religiosity may help to explain views toward and participation in crimes against wildlife. Thus, through three studies, these challenges are addressed. Study 1 shows that religiosity positively influences acceptability views and participation in crimes against wildlife, and this relationship is mediated by animal–human continuity beliefs (i.e., believing animals and humans are one of the same). Study 2 primes religion to show that religiously primed consumers are more likely to view crimes against wildlife as acceptable, thereby supporting religiosity as a primary mechanism in explaining crimes against wildlife. Additionally, animal–human continuity beliefs again mediate this relationship, with religiously primed consumers reporting lower animal–human continuity beliefs. Lastly, Study 3 provides practical implications through marketing messaging aimed at reducing attitudes toward and participation in crimes against wildlife. Findings reveal that religious-based messaging is the most effective. Findings build on belief congruence theory and provide implications for marketing practice and the preservation of wildlife.

种养殖业保险发展问题分析

农业是国民经济的根基。但是占农业较大比重的种养殖业保险发展比较滞后的问题,削弱了保险服务经济社会的功效。虽然国家实施了一系列的政策性保险,但是种养殖业保险面临的风险较大、管理较弱、人才紧缺、环境不优的问题,限制了这一领域保险的健康快速发展。本文提出,现阶段要通过科学确立其发展模式,建立有效的风险分担机制,加强管理、优化环境,实现种养殖业保险的又好又快发展,服务农业产业发展大局。     

Pig pandemic: Industrial hog farming in eastern Mexico

Industrial hog farming is an increasingly important land use in Mexico. Despite the known public health and environmental risks associated with this factory-style model of production, hog concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) remain unregulated. Legal standards regarding the establishment and operation of swine CAFOs are lacking at municipal, regional, and federal levels. There are currently no restrictions on the size, concentration, or geographic location of operations, and public notice to surrounding and downstream communities is generally not required. These lax environmental standards facilitate swine CAFO expansion in regions such as the Perote Valley, with potential for negative long-term impacts on public health, community well-being, water resources, ecosystems, and climate.     

我国禽畜产品出口面临的新问题-道德壁垒

我国是禽畜产品的生产大国,更是禽畜产品的出口大国,2003年出口就已近20亿美元.但我国禽畜产品在国际贸易中正面临着一个新问题--道德壁垒,即一些发达国家为了保护自身的利益,利用各国在动物福利标准方面的差异所采用的一种新的贸易保护方式.道德壁垒在国际贸易尤其是禽畜产品贸易中越来越明显.本文介绍了道德壁垒的含义和特点,分析了道德壁垒对我国禽畜产品出口的影响,并提出了如何应对道德壁垒的措施.     

国际贸易中的动物福利问题研究及我国的对策

动物福利的出现,一方面是经济发展和社会进步的表现;另一方面,是由于发达国家和发展中国家之间存在着巨大的差异。文章对动物福利和动物福利壁垒内涵作深入的剖析,从市场准入限制、产业竞争力影响和贸易抑制影响等方面分析了动物福利壁垒所产生的经济效应;指出动物福利壁垒对我国出口贸易的影响越来越明显。因此,正确认识动物福利问题、增强动物福利意识、加强动物福利立法、建立预警机制、改革农牧业的生产方式、加大投入和依法抵制新贸易保护主义是我国应对动物福利壁垒的主要策略和措施。
