Comparing the True Cost of Living Indices of Demographically Different Households

The comparison of true cost of living indices between demographically different households (relative equivalence scale) is argued to be sensitive to the way demographic characteristics enter demand analysis. In particular, parameters reflecting the cost of demographic characteristics at base prices, though themselves do not have welfare (equivalence scale) interpretation, can alter the benchmark from which demographically varying inflation effects are measured. The empirical analysis, based on a rank‐3 demand system applied to UK individual household data, shows that the inflation adjustment of child benefits can vary with the way demographic costs at base period prices are specified.

政府行政成本的影响因素及控制路径探讨

从政府行政成本的内涵分析入手,指出政府规模与行政能力是影响行政成本的两个主要因素,并针对其主要影响因素,从转变政府职能、控制政府规模、推进依法行政、推行电子政务等路径．探讨行政成本的控制问题。     

土地规模与农户秸秆还田技术采纳——基于冀鲁皖鄂4省的微观调查

研究目的:探讨不同规模农户采纳秸秆还田技术的行为差异和影响因素。研究方法:采用Logistic模型对冀、鲁、皖、鄂4省1372份农户调查数据进行实证分析。研究结果:(1)农户的秸秆还田技术采纳行为存在规模经济效应;(2)地块数和区位条件是限制小规模农户采纳秸秆还田技术的客观因素,在土地规模短期不能扩大的情况下,秸秆还田技术不具备普适性是该项技术推广受阻的重要原因;(3)配备秸秆还田服务人员机构,有针对性地对小规模男性农户进行培训和指导,提高农户的经济收入和经济感知,能显著促进小规模农户采纳秸秆还田技术。研究结论:应从改善机械作业条件,促进土地适度规模经营;改进秸秆还田技术,降低技术采纳成本;培育秸秆还田社会化服务组织,提高农户认知等方面着手,有效推广秸秆还田的耕作技术手段。     

市场导向理论研究现状与展望

市场导向理论自20世纪90年代以来,受到了理论界和实业界的广泛关注。市场导向理论的发展主要体现在市场导向定义、测量以及与企业绩效的关系等方面。分析和回顾市场导向理论的发展轨迹,结合当前营销观念的进一步发展,认识和把握市场导向理论未来的研究方向,具有重要的理论和实践意义。     

质量管理实践的量表开发与检测

质量管理作为一种哲学或管理方法,如何对其进行衡量,一直是学术界关注的焦点。在相关文献分析的基础上,本文以113家企业作为研究对象,开发出质量管理实践的量表工具,并界定了质量培训、管理者承诺、流程管理、顾客关系、供应商质量管理、团队工作、标竿学习、产品/服务设计、管理者参与和员工关系的10项质量管理实践。本研究的意义在于为质量管理理论进行补充,并对企业如何实施质量管理提供实践上的指导。     

Taxation, Reranking and Equivalence Scales

It is conjectured that if the government has a distributional objective and formulates tax policy with a view to equitable treatment of households, then adopting the scale that is implicit in transfer policy should identify only reranking that has no equity foundation. This motivates the question: can the reranking‐minimizing scales be identified as those implicit in the transfer system? The analysis presented in this study suggests that the equivalence scale which minimizes reranking, while not necessarily equal to the tax implicit equivalence scale, is nevertheless in its vicinity.     

Encouraging collaboration for the provision of ecosystem services at a landscape scale—Rethinking agri-environmental payments

In this viewpoint we draw on insights from participatory agri-environmental policy making, spatial planning and collaborative approaches to environmental management. We propose steps for planning, design and implementation of agri-environmental payment schemes that will encourage collaboration and co-ordinated actions at a landscape scale to contribute more effectively to the continued provision of ecosystem services.     

商业银行行长胜任力模型追踪研究

在前项研究已经构建起商业银行行长胜任力模型的基础上,本研究运用追踪研究法对已经通过胜任水平测评的10名被试行长进行了为期一年的绩效考核追踪研究.在一个绩效年度结束后,运用基于行长胜任力模型的考核方案对10名被试者的实际经营绩效和能力素质展现情况进行了考评.考评结果说明,10名被试行长的经营业绩表现及胜任能力素质表现较好,充分发挥了应有的管理水平.这充分表明,前项研究所建构的行长胜任力模型具有一定的科学性,达到了相当的信度和效度,能够真正预测和区分绩效表现优秀的行长,可以进一步推广使用,进而构建基于胜任力模型的现代商业银行人力资源管理体系.
