The Dynamics of Capital Structure in Transition Economies

This paper uses a dynamic unrestricted capital structure model to examine the determinants of the private companies' target financial leverage and the speed of adjustment to it in two transition economies, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. We explicitly model the adjustment of companies' leverage to a target leverage, and this target leverage is itself explained by a set of factors. The panel data methodology combines cross-section and time-series information. The results indicate that the Bulgarian corporate credit markets were less supply -constrained than those of the Czech Republic during the period under investigation. Bulgariancompanies adjusted much faster to the target leverage than Czech firms. The speed ofadjustment related positively to the distance between target and observed ratio for Bulgarian companies while the relationship was neutral for Czech companies. The conservative policies of Czech banks and the exposure control were likely responsible for the slower adjustment among the larger companies while the opposite were true for Bulgarian banks and companies.

动态项目型新产品开发组织模式研究

产品开发组织是新产品开发系统的组织保证。根据多产品多层次并行的产品开发过程,讨论建立了动态项目型新产品开发组织。为了顺利实现产品开发,在产品层、子阶段层和设计层并行;在动态项目型产品开发组织中,又讨论了组建产品策划团队、产品开发管理团队和产品开发技术团队等内容,以确保相应的新产品开发战略的实现。     

国家综合配套改革区与制度的空间演化分析

建立国家综合配套改革试验区,不仅是为了促进滨海新区及天津市的发展,更重要的是推动环渤海地区,乃至整个北方地区的发展,形成新的区域发展模式。这就要求在理论上不仅要考虑到技术、制度的因素,也要考虑到空间的因素对国家综合配套改革试验区理论模型的影响。具体研究空间因素对国家综合配套改革试验区的影响有助于准确理解和把握国家综合配套改革试验区的空间作用,形成新的区域增长方式和区域发展模式,为在全国范围内贯彻科学发展观和构建和谐社会提供崭新的思路和视角。     

Learning by doing,spillovers and shakeouts

This paper studies industry evolution driven by non strategic learning by doing and spillovers. We characterize a dynamic process of cost and output changes and its effect on welfare and industry profits. The paper gives conditions for shakeouts to occur and analyzes the key factors affecting these conditions. Since shakeouts could lead to a long-run social loss due to higher market concentration, there is a role for a government to play in limiting unnecessary shakeouts. The most effective way to do so is to enhance spillovers.JEL Classification: L11, L13, O31Correspondence to: Michael TroegeWe would like to thank Hans Mewis, Christophe Moussu and an anonymous referee for valuable comments and suggestions.

湖南怀化市河西新区市场群落发展研究

通过对湖南怀化市河西新区市场群落发展现状的调查考察,揭示了市场群落形成的动力机制,包括体制环境与路径依赖机制、区位优势与区域功能导向机制、政府扶持与政策优惠的加速机制、民营资本争利于市的驱动机制、外来经商人员和知名厂商的激活机制、产销一体化互动机制。针对区域整体规划滞后、市场重复建设、划行归市不甚理想、市场开发的房地产化趋势、投资环境欠佳等主要问题,提出了改善投资环境和经营环境、形成各部门协同发展合力,吸引经营大户和知名厂商进驻市场、培植市场主体商户,关注市场新变化、拓展新业态、发掘新空间,加强产销衔接、推进工贸一体化,强化市场人才培育等对策建议。     

Theory and practice of monetary policy

Summary. We consider an optimally managed renewable resource with stochastic non-concave growth function. We characterize the conditions under which the optimal policy leads to global extinction, global conservation and the existence of a safe standard of conservation. Our conditions are specified in terms of the economic and ecological primitives of the model: the biological growth function, the welfare function, the distribution of shocks and the discount rate. Our results indicate that, unlike deterministic models, extinction and conservation in stochastic models are not determined by a simple comparison of the growth rate and the discount rate; the welfare function plays an important role.Received: 20 October 2004, Revised: 28 February 2005, JEL Classification Numbers: D90, O11, O41, Q32.Santanu Roy: Correspondence toResearch on this paper was completed when the second author visited Cornell University in July, 2003.

基于产品生命周期的物流系统动态规划研究

由于在产品不同生命周期阶段市场竞争具有不同的特征,因此企业采取的市场战略也有较大的差别。应用物流系统的动态评价方法,研究了有效支撑企业产品市场竞争战略的物流系统应该具有的关键性特征,并在此基础上分析了如何组织企业内外部的物流资源,使得物流系统成本最小化的动态规划问题。     

基于GIS的露天煤矿区土地动态变化分析

本文选用1985年和2005年两期土地利用现状图,借助MAPGIS软件,采用单一土地利用动态度和综合土地利用动态度等指数模型,分析了安太堡露天煤矿1985～2005年土地利用类型的数量变化和空间变化特征。结果表明:(1)各类土地利用类型综合动态度为2.07%;(;2)安太堡露天煤矿20年来各类土地利用类型的增减在空间上存在快速的变化,通过统计分析显示,灌木林地、工业用地、裸土地增加迅速,而旱地、未成林地大幅度减少;(3)安太堡露天煤矿空间动态演变特点为空间扰动剧烈、地类变化明显、空间变化持续时间长。
