Does justice affect brand advocacy? Online brand advocacy behaviors as a response to hotel customers’ justice perceptions

This study focuses on customers' information-sharing behavior in the context of online brand advocacy behavior regarding hotel brands. We aim to explain hotel customers' online brand advocacy behavior through three-sided justice evaluations (i.e., justice for employees, justice for the self, and global belief in a just world), and their hotel satisfaction. Hypotheses are tested by using survey data acquired from 688 individuals on Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk) through partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that customers' perceptions of justice for the self positively affect their hotel satisfaction, perceptions of justice for employees and the global belief in a just world positively affect online brand advocacy behavior, and hotel satisfaction also positively affects online brand advocacy behavior. We expand current research efforts on online brand advocacy research and provide theoretical and managerial implications for the development of marketing and management research and practice.     

Plantation Slavery and Economic Development in the Antebellum Southern United States

The relationship of plantation slavery in the Americas to economic and social development in the regions it was dominant has long been a subject of scholarly debate. The existing literature is divided into two broad interpretive models –'planter capitalism' (Fogel and Engerman, Fleisig) and the 'pre-bourgeois civilization' (Genovese, Moreno-Fraginals). While each grasps aspects of plantation slavery's dynamics, neither provides a consistent and coherent historical or theoretical account of slavery's impact on economic development because they focus on the subjective motivations of economic actors (planters or slaves) independent of their social context. Borrowing Robert Brenner's concept of 'social property relations', the article presents an alternative analysis of the dynamics of plantation slavery and their relation to economic development in the regions it dominated.

China, Asia, and the World Economy： The Implications of an Emerging Asian Core and Periphery

I. IntroductionThe effect of China’s rapid growth on other Asian economies is felt most directly through itsimpact on international trade and foreign investment. However, not only is the magnitude of this impact uncertain, even its direction is disputed. Some authors emphasize that China’s emergence as an economic power is applying intense competitive pressure to its neighbors. China’s immense reserves of cheap labor enable it to out-compete neighboring economies in the production of low-…     

未来世界能否成为一个“大混合经济”

是否存在两个马克思主义，一个过时了，另一个才能指导当前实践？是否存在两个资本主义，一个已经灭亡，另一个还不会灭亡？未来世界是否会融合为一个“大混合经济”？这些问题关系到对马克思主义经济学的理解，以及对未来世界经济发展走势的分析，很值得认真探讨。     

国家战略能力与世界和平

战争产生的根源在于资源的绝对有限性与发展的绝对无限性的矛盾,本世纪初以来发生的战争使人们认识到全球化时代世界并不和平,世界充满战争风险。国家战略能力的高低是国家兴衰的关键。国家战略能力是战略文化、战略思维和战略管理的有机统一。中共十六大之后,中国的战略文化氛围、战略思维能力、战略管理能力在建立“和谐世界”的目标下正迅速提升;相反,美国和日本的战略能力都在快速衰落。     

多国联合申报世界文化遗产模式的引入--以丝绸之路为例

近年来,我国世界文化遗产的申报取得了很大的成绩,很多珍贵的自然、人文遗产被列入世界文化遗产名录,受到全世界的共同关注与保护。但迄今为止,申报工作都是局限于我国范围内申报,尚未开展多国联合申报的尝试,模式比较单一。文章以丝绸之路为例,通过分析丝绸之路自身的特点,提出了多国联合申报世界文化遗产的设想,并进一步对中国引入多国申报模式的必要性作以初步的论述,以供学术界参考。     

世界遗产:公共产权的转移与约束

世界遗产是具有公共产权性质的特殊资源，应由国家进行永久性保护。但由于目前我国文物保护经费的不足，以及现行体制把世界遗产的管理权分散到地方政府各部门，在获得保护经费及旅游利益的驱动下，部分遗产地出现了过度开发现象，导致世界遗产保护区的城市化与商业化．出现保护与开发矛盾的根本原因，在于世界遗产公共产权私人化趋向，导致其外部性的增强．可能的解决途径是世界遗产公共产权由中央或地方的国家单一部门管理，以实现产权的硬约束，并且建立旅游收益与保护资金之间，政府与旅游企业之间的平衡。     

论人民币升值对世界证券市场的影响——以美国证券市场为例

我国是一个经济贸易大国,人民币升值将通过多种机制对世界证券市场产生重大影响.当然,由于不同的国家与我国的经贸关系和地缘关系不同,以及市场的开放和发达程度不同,相同的机制对不同国家的证券市场影响是不同的,这需要具体情况具体分析.鉴于人民币升值对世界证券市场的影响,我国应注意防范其中隐藏的风险,并尽可能地从中获取应得的利益.     

油价上涨对世界经济的影响及中国能源政策选择

油价上涨给世界经济带来很大影响,引发了经济危机、加重了西方国家的财政负担和生产成本、加大了非产油国家的进口成本。高油价也给航空、速递等一些运输行业造成沉重负担,油价上涨的最终承担者是消费者。油价不断上涨促使各国调整能源结构,高油价给石油输出国带来丰厚收益的同时也带来一些负面影响,如腐败、暴力冲突、战争等。油价上涨要求中国大幅提高能源利用率,采用多元化能源战略,尽快建立国家石油战略储备,加强能源领域国际合作。
