Revising price history: consumer price index for Norway 1492–2018

ABSTRACT

The paper presents a new combined annual cost of living and consumer price index for Norway covering 1492–2018, indicating that Norwegian price history has to be revised. The new historical price index is constructed on a significantly richer data material, which also makes it cover a longer period of price history than the existing one. This is made possible by the compilation of quantitative data from numerous sources, mostly originating from the eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with grain prices stretching back to 1492. The new combined cost of living and consumer price index is constructed by a Laspeyres approach with shifting baskets for commodities and expenditure groups.

The index makes it possible to follow annual inflation and deflation in Norway for a period of 526 years. When comparing to existing indices, the new series reveals that revisions are needed in Norwegian price history. These make the historical price development more in line with those of the neighbouring countries and more in line with the pattern of wholesale prices.     

The Moderating Effects of Status-Consumption Motive and Age in the Relationship between CSR Advertising Appeal Type and Purchase Intentions

The primary purpose of this study was to examine factors that influence the effectiveness of benefit appeal types (i.e., help-other vs. help-self) in Corporate Social Responsibility advertising. To that end, we designed and administered a between-subjects experiment where participants viewed one of the two CSR advertisements crafted with help-self and help-other benefit appeals. Results provided evidence supporting the moderating effects of status-consumption motives and age on purchasing intentions. Additional analysis suggested consumers younger than 48 years old were more likely to be persuaded by a help-other ad appeal when they didn't have strong desires for status consumption. Results were discussed in light of the self-concept theory and value-expressive framework in CSR advertising.

Factors affecting households’ seafood purchasing decisions in Auckland,New Zealand: an empirical analysis

This paper uses the binary choice model to identify the factors that are significantly influencing the household purchase decisions of seafood products for home consumption in Auckland, New Zealand. It is found that ‘quality’ and ‘cooking easiness’ are the main product attributes that significantly influence households’ choices of seafood in Auckland. Also, the representative household has shown a strong preference for fresh and other alternative seafood products, including processed, smoked and canned, over frozen products. Retail outlets are found to be more attractive to the household purchasing seafood for home consumption. The New Zealand seafood industry may find this baseline study useful as a guide to developing future research structure on the domestic market.

农田水利设施建设制度的变迁与匹配性分析——以中国封建时期农田水利设施建设与治理为例

农田水利设施建设的成功取决于有效的制度保障,而有效的制度安排则取决于"基础设施属性—参与者特质—制度环境"三个要素之间的匹配,中国古代农田水利设施的发展历程便证明如此。对于中国新时期的农田水利设施建设,本文提出相应的制度安排,即大型灌区灌溉设施的集权型制度、小型灌溉设施的农民自治制度以及类经济自立型排灌区的混合型制度安排。     

中国封建社会农业基础设施建设与治理制度的变迁——以农田水利设施为例

中国封建时期农田水利设施建设绩效辉煌,其中制度起到非常重要的作用。历史上农田水利设施的发展经过了三个波动的阶段,产生了集权型、自治型和混合型三种制度安排与制度变迁,这些制度分别保证了与其相适应的设施建设绩效和灌溉绩效。中国封建时期农田水利设施建设与治理的制度变迁,为今天建立社会主义新农村和实现农业的可持续发展具有重要的启示意义。
