Extracting the information: espionage with double crossing

This paper addresses two very old issues in human society: espionage and double crossing. Our major conclusion points out that there will be a serious over rewarding problem in the direct mechanism due to double crossing in espionage, and a competitive mechanism with a relative performance regime can possibly mitigate the over rewarding problem and still extract the information.      

基于引力模型的中美农产品贸易边境效应研究

针对中美两国在农产品贸易上的新变化,应用引力模型的派生模型——边境效应引力模型对中美两国农产品贸易的流量和流向进行理论和实证研究。首先介绍了边境效应引力模型基本模型的推导过程,并引入了调整模型。然后采用1987至2005年其中5年的截面数据进行计算,结果发现:中美农产品贸易的边境效应显著存在,且呈逐年下降趋势;两国之间的农产品贸易边境效应存在流向和区域上的差异;距离的平方并不影响模型的可靠性。     

长三角区域市场的地区分割——基于边界效应模型的分析

改革开放以来,我国地方市场分割问题一直比较突出,而建立全国统一开放的市场是我国经济转轨中最重要的目标之一。如何实现经济协调发展是我国当前急需解决的一个重大问题。基于此目的,本文构造了一个以边界效应模型为基础的分析框架,以长江三角洲八城市的行业部门为样本,进行实证检验。通过投入产出法计算得到行业之间的边界效应值。结果表明,在长江三角洲地区诸多的行业中市场分割与地方保护仍然比较严重。因此,长江三角洲并未实现真正的市场一体化。     

商业银行公司金融产品组合营销深化研究

我国商业银行的竞争模式正在从简单的产品扩张向提供深入服务的方向转化，对组合营销这种有效的竞争手段的深化将大大有利于商业银行提升营销层次，提高自身竞争力。作者在总结分析的基础上，提出了公司金融产品进行组合营销深化的基本理念、基本方法和基本策略，以及基于RAROC的组合营销风险考虑方法。本文在分析了阻碍我国商业银行进行组合营销深化的基本因素后，对进一步实施组合营销的深化提出了建议。     

Cross‐Border Auction Cycle Effects of Sovereign Bond Issuance in the Euro Area

We provide evidence for the euro area of spillovers from foreign public debt auctions into domestic secondary‐market auction cycles. We also confirm existing evidence of such spillovers from domestic issues into the domestic secondary market. Consistent with a theory of primary dealers’ limited risk‐bearing capacity, we find that auction cycles from domestic issues are stronger during the recent crisis period, whereas cross‐border effects are stronger in the precrisis period, but this evidence is not strong. This finding likely reflects the opposing effects of reduced sovereign bond market integration during the crisis and higher yield covariances caused by more market volatility.     

边疆民族地区人口结构预测及优化对策研究——以云南省为例

人口结构问题对边疆民族地区社会经济发展的制约作用越来越明显。对人口结构进行预测,把握人口结构发展趋势,制定人口结构对策对社会经济发展具有重要的理论和实践意义。优化云南人口结构的对策是：调整生育政策;发挥年龄结构优势使劳动适龄人口充分就业;利用主体功能区划进行人口布局的合理规划。     

沿边城市服务功能的历史演进与城市经营——以云南省开远市为例

文章以西南边陲的传统工业城市开远为例,基于对其城市功能的历史演进轨迹、当代城市经营的主要指向等问题的研究,指出多元化城市经营以提升城市服务功能既是城市历史发展的重要启示,同时也是诸如开远等西部沿边城市建设在新时期创新发展的必由之路。而在城市转型建设过程中,需要围绕大区域城市功能竞合关系中确立沿边优势和特色,并在城市经营中重点提升城市公共文化服务功能。     

Work-home interface in a cross-cultural context: a framework for future research and practice

Abstract

With dual-income families on the increase, combining work and family obligations is a daily reality for many individuals. Unsatisfactory combinations of work and home duties can result in various unfavourable individual and organisational outcomes. Therefore, its proper understanding is essential in order to create adequate recommendations for interventions and prevention. There is a need for the development of theoretical frameworks that take cultural context into account in relation to work-home interface (WHI). In this paper a new framework is proposed; ‘the pyramid of intersecting domains of WHI’ that incorporates cultural context and other important work-life interface aspects. It builds on empirical findings of the intersectionality and work/family border theories. The pyramid consists of the following domains: the domain of work and home characteristics, the roles domain and the cultural domain, which intersect to determine the fourth side of the pyramid, that is, the observed WHI. Based on the pyramid several research propositions can be formulated. Implications for researchers and HR professionals are provided.     

The Visual Representation of Border Tourism: Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and Dokdo in South Korea

The demilitarized zone (DMZ) and Dokdo mark South Korea borders with North Korea and Japan respectively. Each borderland is a socially constructed symbolic cultural landscape shaped in part by tourism. In this study, a sample of 2202 online images was inspected using content‐semiotic analysis to understand how visual representation of border tourism works. It was found that visitors via social media and government censorship play major roles in constructing representations of (i) alienated borders with iconic war heritage attractions at the DMZ and (ii) an alienated and isolated Dokdo. Both borders highlight patriotic/nationalistic ‘flagging’ and the gaze across. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

商业周期与区际经济一体化——自然壁垒、经济结构与政策

文章着重从商业周期角度来对我国区际一体化状况进行实证研究,即主要从"市场自然分割"与"政策与经济结构"两方面因素来探索商业周期的区域差异.总体来看,我国所有地区在两个时间样本期间(1992～1997年与1998～2004年)的就业和产出周期同步性均有所增加,说明商业周期的演进与我国经济体制改革基本同步;文章还分析了影响商业周期的不同解释变量,结果显示:控制变量的距离、规模与周期存在显著的相关性,而体现"东西边界"的外生变量则在绝大部分回归中则显著为负,说明在我国东西部之间可能存在一道明显的"区域分界线",阻碍了大区域间的经济联系;此外,樊刚指数对区域周期的解释具有两面性,经济结构差异越合理,商业周期越走向同步性,而财政政策差异和贸易密度差异是我国商业周期的波动因素.
