Regulatory ‘Balancing’ and the Efficiency of Green R&D

We identify and analyse several dynamic implications of setting environmental standards such as to balance marginal costs and benefits. The adoption of such a regulatory approach is shown to effect (i) the speed of improvement of abatement technologies; (ii) the direction (in a sense to be defined) of that improvement; (iii) its source and the distribution of the rents from it; and (iv) the rate of development of defensive (averting) technologies. Existing views are thoroughly synthesised in the context of a simple diagrammatic model, several new results are derived and at least one conventional wisdom questioned. The message of the analysis for legislators and regulators is that cost–benefit balancing should be done with care.     

A DEA Approach to Understanding the Productivity Growth of Malaysia's Manufacturing Industries

This paper seeks to explain the productivity growth performance of Malaysia's manufacturing sector using a panel data of 28 industries from 1981–1996. Here, the data envelopment analysis technique is used to calculate and decompose the Malmquist index of total factor productivity (TFP) growth into technical change, change in technical efficiency and change in scale efficiency. This allows the identification of the sources of productivity growth which is crucial for policy formulation. It was found that the annual TFP growth of the Malaysian manufacturing sector was low at 0.8% and this was driven by small gains in both technical change and technical efficiency, with industries operating close to optimum scale.     

中国科技与经济协调发展的路径分析——基于自主创新能力培养的思考

世界上任何国家都不可能永远依靠劳动力和自然资源来发展经济。只有通过自我完善,向具有更高附加值的生产活动转型,才能从根本上推动经济增长模式转换和经济结构调整。对中国来讲,只有把技术自主创新能力的培养作为科技与经济协调发展的中心环节,才能实现国家经济实力与科技实力的同步提升。     

以技术标准为核心,整合施工企业标准体系

企业标准体系如何与企业一体化管理体系整合？结合施工企业推进标准化管理的实际，要把握好“两个接口”和“一个整合”的问题。一是解决好与国家和行业的技术标准、技术法规、技术规范的“标准接口”。二是解决好企业标准体系——系列标准体系“各子体系接口”的问题。三是把企业标准体系同企业一体化管理体系整合起来。

Inference with Dependent Data in Accounting and Finance Applications

We review developments in conducting inference for model parameters in the presence of intertemporal and cross‐sectional dependence with an emphasis on panel data applications. We review the use of heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) standard error estimators, which include the standard clustered and multiway clustered estimators, and discuss alternative sample‐splitting inference procedures, such as the Fama–Macbeth procedure, within this context. We outline pros and cons of the different procedures. We then illustrate the properties of the discussed procedures within a simulation experiment designed to mimic the type of firm‐level panel data that might be encountered in accounting and finance applications. Our conclusion, based on theoretical properties and simulation performance, is that sample‐splitting procedures with suitably chosen splits are the most likely to deliver robust inferential statements with approximately correct coverage properties in the types of large, heterogeneous panels many researchers are likely to face.     

事务所规模与年报会计政策“类准则”披露——基于文本分析的经验证据

通过计算上市公司年报会计政策披露的“类准则”程度,讨论会计师事务所规模是否为影响上市公司会计政策披露行为的重要因素。研究发现：（1）由规模较大的会计师事务所审计的上市公司,年报会计政策披露的“类准则”程度较低,会提供更多公司会计政策的个性化信息。（2）在上市公司风险增强和会计准则重大变化的两大类场景中,事务所规模与年报会计政策披露“类准则”程度之间的关系都得到增强,说明事务所的风险压力和事务所能力是重要的机制路径。（3）由同一事务所审计的上市公司会计政策披露的“类准则”程度更一致,具有同所效应。（4）基于会计师事务所变更的检验发现,若变更后的事务所规模更大,则会计政策披露的“类准则”程度会降低;若变更后的事务所规模更小,则会计政策披露的“类准则”程度会提高。     

人民币汇率走势分析

不同的劳动生产率和不同的现代通货膨胀和紧缩,在不同的国家体现了不同的商品标准定位价格。国际汇率是依据各国当时的单位法定纸币可以交换的商品价值量确定的,应当是各种法定纸币的各国商品标准定位价格的比例。根据这样的现代通货理论,可以分析人民币和美元、欧元、日元汇率的基本走势。     

会计寻租成因及对策探讨

对会计寻租活动产生原因进行了深入探讨,认为政府管制是产生寻租的最主要因素。同时,从博弈论的角度探讨会计寻租的结果,认为会计寻租对于经济确实有一定的积极作用,但需要对此进行适当的控制。     

企业战略管理的评价准则

企业已进入了“战略制胜”的时代,企业战略管理已成为企业管理的重点。企业实施战略管理要遵循：以市场为导向;以信息为基础;着眼于长远发展;引导消费,创造需求;充分 利用资源;健全的决策机制;审时度势,量力而行,多个比较择优;积极参与国际化竞争;强化战略控制,确保战略目标的实现等十大准则。
