Information processing and innovative choice

In this paper we examine how the information processing of subjects who make an innovative choice (innovators) differs from that of subjects who make a noninnovative choice (noninnovators). The task involves selection of an alternative within a range of prerated product category innovativeness. We propose that subjects who seek 1) impersonal/uncontrollable sources, 2) higher levels of information, 3) more detailed (versus summary) data, and 4) noncomparative (versus comparative) data are more likely to make innovative choices. The research method is a computerized process tracing experiment utilizing Search Monitor (Brucks 1988).The authors wish to express their gratitude to Merrie Brucks for the use of and help with Search Monitor and to Eric Johnson, Dave Schmittlein, and Mita Sujan for helpful comments on an earlier version of this paper.     

从我国外部经济失衡看加工贸易发展战略的调整

入世以来,我国加工贸易取得了长足的发展,与此同时,我国外部经济失衡愈来愈严重．这两者之间应该存在某种关联。本文通过分析认为,外国直接投资主导了我国的加工贸易,我国加工贸易的发展进一步强化了外商投资于该领域,直接导致经常项目和资本项目的双顺差和外汇储备规模的不断扩大。我国外部经济失衡,给我国加工贸易发展战略的调整提供了一个现实、有益的视角。

Strategies to offset dissatisfactory product performance: The role of post-purchase marketing

This research examines the role of post-purchase recovery initiatives in offsetting the negative effect of a dissatisfactory product experience. Experiment 1 explores the effect of counterfactual thinking, a mental simulation process of reflecting upon past events and generating alternative possible outcomes, on product evaluations after an individual experiences a negative purchase outcome. Experiment 2 builds on these findings and shows how customer surveys can be used as tactical tools to boost post-purchase product evaluations. The results indicate that post-purchase marketing efforts, such as customer surveys, can engage consumers in counterfactual thinking and positively affect their product evaluations.     

Does the nature of airport terminal service activities matter? Processing and non-processing service quality,passenger affective image and satisfaction

The surge in air transport demand and the increasingly competitive and volatile market dynamics due to airline deregulation are rapidly transforming airports’ character into multi-service firms and destinations. As a result, service performance measurement of significant systems and their consequent impact on airport users are crucial in creating better airport service design, operation and management for sustainable competitive advantage. The present study 1) assesses the applicability of the Airport Indicators of Passenger Experience (AIPEX) model on Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG), and 2) tests a theoretical model that explores the direct and indirect relationships among airport service quality, passenger affective image and satisfaction, as well as the moderating mechanism of passenger type (travel purpose) in these associations. The results indicate that, the AIPEX model fits the PVG context for airport service performance assessment. Also, the theoretical model suggests robust direct associations among processing/non-processing domains and passenger satisfaction, as well as the processing domain and passenger affective image, except non-processing domain and passenger affective image relation. Moreover, significant mediating and moderating effects of passenger affective image and travel purpose on the significant positive direct associations are found. Further, implications for theory and practice are discussed.     

我国加工贸易污染排放实证分析

目前我国还没有针对加工贸易污染排放的专门统计,但由于制造业与污染排放密切相关,而加工贸易主要在制造业,因此通过对加工贸易出口与工业废水、废气和固体废物从1995年至2007年的相关数据进行实证分析发现,经济增长、加工贸易与环境污染存在长期的正向协整关系,而经济增长与加工贸易是环境污染的主要原因,环境政策与污染的协整关系为负而且与各污染排放指标互相影响,在减少污染方面表现出持久性和有效性。     

对会计电算化发展的思考

加工贸易视角下中美工业贸易隐含碳研究：国别排放与全球效应

本文基于加工贸易视角,区分国内与进口中间投入,构建贸易隐含碳模型,从工业整体及行业角度分析了1998—2009年度中关工业贸易隐含碳的国别排放情况,并基于全球视角分析了中关贸易的全球净效应。结果显示：中国对美工业贸易始终处于隐含碳净出口状态,2001年之后（净）出口隐含碳增幅尤其明显,其中化学、机械、纺织业是隐含碳净出...     

The moderating influence of style of information processing on media perceptions and information exposure

This study investigated the extent to which style of information processing relates to media perceptions and information exposure. The results showed that visually oriented individuals were more favourably predisposed to the television medium and reported greater exposure to this medium than verbally oriented individuals. Verbally oriented individuals reported greater exposure to print media information than did visually oriented individuals. An exploratory interaction hypothesis between information processing style and gender was not supported. The implications of these results and future research directions are discussed.     

中国加工贸易的工资分配效应研究

国际外包的蓬勃发展:一方面,改变了国际贸易格局;另一方面,催生新的贸易方式—中间产品贸易,这种新型的贸易方式会影响一国不同类型劳动者的工资收入。本文以中国加工贸易作为中间产品贸易的衡量,选取1996～2008年数据作为样本进行时间序列回归,结果表明,加工贸易规模与制造业技能工人的相对工资成反方向变动。最后本文结合实证分析结果认为:我国应该积极参与中间产品贸易,扩大加工贸易规模,以增强其对缓解就业、缩小工资差距的作用。
