我国纺织品出口对经济增长贡献的实证研究

出口贸易是影响经济增长的重要因素。本文采用1980-2004年的数据,描述了我国纺织品出口的特点,并借助协整模型实证研究了纺织品出口对经济增长的影响,指出二者之间存在长期的动态关系。通过定量分析,发现纺织品出口对经济增长的直接拉动度和贡献率都较低,这是因为我国纺织服装行业一方面受宏观环境影响,另一方面自身竞争优势不足。本文经过研究,形成了对我国纺织品出口与经济增长之间关系直观而清晰的认识,并为无配额时代我国纺织业发展的后续研究提供了参考。

Entry, reforms, complementarity and performance: A tale of two Indian manufacturing sectors

In this paper, we use plant-level data from two Indian industries, namely, electrical machinery and textiles, to examine the empirical relationship between structural reforms like abandonment of entry restrictions to the product market, competition and firm-level productivity and efficiency. These industries have faced different sets of policies since Independence but both were restricted in the adoption of technology and in the development of optimal scales of production. They also belonged to the first set of industries that benefited from the liberalization process started in the 1980s. Our results suggest that both the industries have improved their efficiency and scales of operation by the turn of the century. However, the process of adjustment seems to have been worked out more fully for electrical machinery. We also find evidence of spatial fragmentation of the market as late as 2000–2001. Gains in labour productivity were much more evident in states that either have a strong history of industrial activity or those that have experienced significant improvements in business environment since 1991.     

WTO/TBT框架下纺织品与服装护理标签壁垒应对的法律对策

通过立法规范纺织品与服装护理标签,是发达国家保护国际贸易的重要手段之一,也是 WTO/TBT 协议的基本要求。其重要性自不待言。但反观我国,在这一方面问题颇多。通过对 WTO/TBT 协议有关内容的简要解读,以及中外纺织品与服装护理标签制定的比较,就如何应对国外纺织品与服装护理标签壁垒提出自己的思考和建议。     

The inception of internationalization of small and medium enterprises: The role of activeness and networks

This study analyzes how exporters begin their internationalization leveraging information collected through interviews with 109 Chinese textile manufacturers. It examines whether firms that found their first international clients through a “proactive” search are likely to export faster, more intensively, and to a larger number of markets. The findings illustrate that the proactiveness of the search for the first client in a foreign market is an important predictor of the intensity and geographic scope of the firm's internationalization path but not of its speed. They support the view of internationalization as an actively pursued entrepreneurial process, which may also be affected by serendipitous events. This study provides new evidence on the first international business discovery of Chinese exporters, contributing to the literature on international entrepreneurship, international new ventures and the network approach to internationalization.     

贸易制度安排下的美国纺织品进口格局

《纺织品和服装协议》完成过渡期后，国际纺织品贸易进入了没有配额限制的自由化贸易时代但是，美国通过双边的、多边的贸易协定和贸易优惠法案对来自某些国家和地区的纺织品和服装给予优惠待遇的贸易制度安排，改变了国际纺织品贸易的流量和流向，扰乱了国际纺织品自由竞争的秩序，影响了美国纺织品进口贸易的格局，直接影响到包括中国在内的WTO成员国的纺织品和服装对美的出口.     

Assessing customer orientation in the context of buyer/supplier relationships using judgmental modelling

Retail buying is a particular form of industrial buying, one characterised by buying for the purposes of reselling to the ultimate customer, rather than for use. Retail buyers have a complex role. They are responsible for meeting the requirements of their target customers and they also have to manage relationships with suppliers in order to obtain the best terms and conditions.Modern retailing is also characterised by a high degree of concentration and centralisation of the buying function. Buyers can operate autonomously or within a buying group. Those selling or marketing to commercial buyers need to understand the needs of the buyer in order to be effective. They need to understand the buyers' businesses and how to develop relationships with them.A mediator in the development of a customer relationship is customer orientation. A customer orientation is a central factor in being market orientated, but despite the importance of customer and market orientation there has been little research into how well suppliers understand their customers in a commercial context.In the research reported here retail buyers of textile products were personally interviewed with the aid of decision analysis software to identify the significance of criteria they use in a defined buying situation. The same methodology was repeated with suppliers to identify how well suppliers understood the decision making of buyers in their market. The decision-making process was modelled using a compensatory approach, assuming six decision criteria in a choice of sourcing options. These criteria were partly selected from a pilot conducted with eight retailers in the UK and partly from the literature review and in particular the works of Nilsson and Høst [Nilsson J, Høst V. Reseller assortment decision criteria. Aarhus: Aarhus University Press, 1987] and Weber et al. [Weber CA, Current JR, Benton WC. Vendor selection criteria and methods. Eur J Oper Res 1991;50(1):2-18].The study found that while buyers were able to understand the relative importance of decision-making criteria adequately, they underestimated the importance of certain criteria. The results demonstrate the potential for judgmental modelling in the appraisal of customer orientation.     

The fable of the birth of the Japanese automobile industry: A reconsideration of the Toyoda–Platt agreement of 1929

In discussing the birth of the Japanese automobile industry, most researchers and journalists put the Toyota Motor Corporation and the Toyoda–Platt Agreement at centre-stage. It has been widely asserted that the one million yen (¥100,000) that was received as a result of the Agreement provided Kiichiro Toyoda with the means to begin his research on the automobile. But the historical evidence does not support this legendary story, and in many ways contradicts it. This article aims to set the historical record straight.     

汇率变动对我国纺织品出口国际竞争力的影响

Tourists' attitudes towards textiles and apparel-related cultural products: A cross-cultural marketing study

This study examined American, Korean, and Chinese female consumers' evaluations of and purchase intentions towards Korean textiles and apparel-related cultural products. This study also investigated how a consumer's evaluations of Korean textiles and apparel-related cultural products are related to novelty-seeking tendency, world-mindedness, and familiarity with Northeast Asian culture on the part of female tourists. Novelty-seeking appeared to be useful only when predicting how one will respond to cultural products from other countries and cultures, but not from one's own. Regardless of the sample, respondents' evaluations of the color and design of the product stood out as the most important indicator, across all four products, of how much they would like a given product, and further, would also like to purchase the product. Northeast Asian design contributed to favorable purchase intention even for those who are from Northeast Asia, indicating that fashion cultural products are not targeted only at those from other cultures.
