Noise traders,firm-specific uncertainty and technical trading effectiveness

This is the first study to document evidence of technical trading effectiveness at firm level in the Chinese A-share market by investigating the relationship between excess profits of technical trading rules and firm-specific characteristics. Our results reveal that firms with higher excess profits from technical trading have more noise traders and higher institutional ownership and that those firms tend to be growth firms with lower liquidity and higher firm-specific uncertainty. Further analysis shows that the profitability of technical trading rules is unsustainable and the excess profits of the highest technical trading profit quintile portfolio disappear in the following year.     

企业社会责任报告与公开债务融资

本文以2016—2018年沪深两市A股非金融类上市公司为样本,研究企业社会责任报告与公开债务融资的关系.研究发现,披露企业社会责任报告显著提高了企业公开债务融资的成功率和规模;企业社会责任报告质量越高,对企业公开债务融资选择、规模的正向影响越大;相较于民营企业而言,国有企业披露社会责任报告对公开债务融资的影响更为明显.进一步研究发现,相较于应规披露、未披露企业社会责任报告的上市公司而言,自愿披露对公开债务融资具有显著正向影响;市场化水平较高的地区,披露企业社会责任报告对公开债务融资具有显著促进作用,市场化水平较低的地区则不具有明显影响.     

“品牌触角”管理——中小型服务企业的品牌运作之道

服务业,区别于制造业、建筑业,其最大的特点就是“以人为本”,在品牌运作上有区别于其他产业的明显特征。中国中小企业中的服务企业如何发展品牌的解决之道——即“品牌触角”管理。品牌触角在中小型服务企业中,融资困难是普遍存在的现象,而在以往的品牌管理理论中,强调的是通过大众传媒的方式建立品牌,广告、公关、新闻策划、事件营销成了发展品牌的必经之路。但是,对于一个历史不过数年,职员不过数十人的中小型服务企业来说,以上的品牌运作方式无疑是一种冒险行为,真所谓“做品牌做得不好是找死,不做又无异于等死”。品牌,对于中小型服务…     

Identifying “best” applicants in recruiting using data envelopment analysis

Selecting the most promising candidates to fill an open position can be a difficult task when there are many applicants. Each applicant achieves certain performance levels in various categories and the resulting information can be overwhelming. We demonstrate how data envelopment analysis (DEA) can be used as a fair screening and sorting tool to support the candidate selection and decision-making process. Each applicant is viewed as an entity with multiple achievements. Without any a priori preference or information on the multiple achievements, DEA identifies the non-dominated solutions, which, in our case, represent the “best” candidates. A DEA-aided recruiting process was developed that (1) determines the performance levels of the “best” candidates relative to other applicants; (2) evaluates the degree of excellence of “best” candidates’ performance; (3) forms consistent tradeoff information on multiple recruiting criteria among search committee members, and, then, (4) clusters the applicants.     

State-owned enterprises going public The case of China

Public listing is a key reform measure for large state‐owned enterprises (SOEs) in China. We find evidence that public listing lowers state ownership significantly, lessens firms’ reliance on debt finance, and allows firms to increase capital expenditure, at least temporarily. We also find that ownership structure affects post‐listing performance. However, we find no statistical evidence of a positive effect of public listing on firms’ profitability. We suggest alternative interpretations of the last finding.     

煤运吃紧暴露铁路运力不足

铁路运输纷纷告急 由于冬季以来气温急剧变化,2003年用电高峰提前到来,发电用煤需求随之剧增,而运力一时难以提高,导致许多电厂煤炭库存减少,煤炭中转港口场存减少.2003年11月份秦皇岛港日均到车较10月份日均减少346辆,由于煤炭调入不足,79种内贸煤炭绝大多数都出现短缺,煤炭运输持续迟滞.

论地方性法规公信力的构建

法的公信力是法所具有的为社会公认、被社会成员自觉遵守、以国家强制力保证执行的力量.法的公信力对于建设法治社会具有至关重要的作用.地方性法规是我国法律体系的重要组成部分,但是存在着公信力不足的问题.构建地方性法规的公信力,需要行为和观念的统一,需要从立法、执法、司法等各个环节加以解决.

Trade, product cycles, and inequality within and between countries

Abstract.  This paper incorporates Northern product innovation and product‐cycle‐driven technology transfer into the continuum‐of‐goods Heckscher‐Ohlin model. The creation of very skill‐intensive goods induces the North to transfer production of older, less skill‐intensive goods to the South. These relocated goods are the most skill intensive by Southern standards. Hence, product cycles raise the relative demand for skilled workers and thus wage inequality within both regions. This runs contrary to the Stolper‐Samuelson theorem, but accords well with the fact that wage inequality has risen in both Northern and Southern countries. Moreover, product cycles increase income inequality between countries. JEL classification: F1
