中小企业人才消费的“小本经营”

在通胀压力下,建立经济实用的人才消费机制,立足“小本经营”,科学配置人力资源,以降低人力成本,是中小企业面临的实际问题。招聘人才——实用为要有的中小企业打肿脸充胖子,在招聘人才时动辄打出 “非硕士、博士不聘”的广告,把好多经济实用的人才拒之门外。     

浅析中小企业如何吸引人才

在中小企业的生存与发展过程中,人才起着关键的作用。大企业可以凭其名气和雄厚的实力吸引各种人才,而名气和资源都比较小的中小企业,如何吸引人才便成为经营者十分关心的问题。笔者根据中小企业的特点,从如下几方面浅析中小企业吸引人才的策略。     

中小企业如何降低人才风险

【案例】小公司的烦恼 某中关村IT公司,为了补充技术后备力量,招聘了一名计算机专业的应届生。公司安排技术总监作为其导师,又外派出去学习“红帽”等技术,经过一年多的培养,该员工已能独当一面,公司和客户对其都比较认可。工资从最初的1500元／月提高到了4000元／月。     

中小企业应重视核心人才的管理

先进企业的经验表明,企业的竞争力主要取决于占企业职工人数10%左右的核心人才,世界性先进企业早已把人力资源管理的中心转移到核心人才管理中。而我国企业特别是中小企业,还没有建立核心人才管理体系,这是提高企业竞争力的重要制约因素。     

我国中小企业人才管理对策思考

中小企业无论是在发达的工业化国家,还是在新兴的发展中国家和地区的国民经济中都起着不可忽视的作用。中小企业是企业中的绝大多数,虽然每个企业提供的产值和工作机会有限,但作为总体它具有极强的就业吸纳能力,也是社会产值的重要创造者。研究中小企业的人才管理问题,对我国国民经济的发展具有重要意义。     

民营中小企业社会人才供给探析——来自广东1024家民营中小企业的调查

人才是企业发展的第一资源,也是经济发展的推动力和反映经济发展状况的标志。研究民营中小企业社会人才的供给现状,分析造成这种状况的外部因素,对于改善民营中小企业人才结构,促进人才供求平衡,充分发挥人才在民营中小企业发展中的作用具有重要的意义。     

专属供求平台让校企互为人才的“蓄水池”——中小企业人才供给新模式探析

中小企业在国民经济发展中发挥着重要作用,目前面临人员短缺、人才匮乏等问题。可以用“求贤若渴”来形容其对人才的需求。就业难是培养技能型人才的高职院校面临的一大难题。毕业生的就业率、就业质量在很大程度上决定着一所学校的办学质量。“有女难嫁”可以形象地概括高职院校毕业生的状态。一方“求贤若渴”,一方“有女难嫁”,对此,本文就中小企业人才供给模式进行探讨,即拓宽现有校企合作渠道,搭建专属校企人才供求平台,为中小企业解决用人难、留人难问题,帮助毕业生高效、高质量就业,实现校企生共赢。     

人才测评在中小企业中的应用困境与对策分析

人才测评对中小企业运行与发展有重要意义,但目前人才测评技术在我国中小企业应用中存在着诸多问题,本文试图分析其在应用过程中产生问题的原因,提出相应解决对策。     

A MACROECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF ENERGY SUBSIDIES IN A SMALL OPEN ECONOMY

We construct a dynamic model of a small open economy to analyze the effects of large energy subsidies. The model includes domestic energy production and consumption, trade in energy at world market prices, as well as private and public sector production. The model is calibrated to Egypt and used to study reforms such as reductions in energy subsidies with corresponding reductions in various tax instruments or increases in infrastructure investment. We calculate the new steady states, transition paths to the new steady state, and the size of the associated welfare losses or gains. Our main results for a 15% cut in energy subsidies are: (1) Steady state gross domestic product drops in most of our experiments as less energy is used in production. (2) Steady state consumption rises in most of our experiments. (3) Welfare can rise by as much as 0.6% in consumption equivalent terms. (4) The largest gains in terms of output and of welfare can be obtained when savings from energy subsidy cuts are used to fund additional infrastructure investment. (JEL E21, E63, H55, J26, J45)     

RELATIONAL V-CODE CONDITIONS IN A CHILD AND ADOLESCENT POPULATION DO WARRANT TREATMENT

It is often argued that relational V-code conditions are less serious than classical psychiatric disorders, and that they should therefore receive lower clinical priority or diminished levels of treatment funding. Despite these common assertions, there have been virtually no studies that have used actual case data to evaluate whether such problems are in fact less serious and less worthy of treatment funding. We used actual case data from a universally funded child and family clinic to evaluate these questions. Results showed that both classical diagnoses and relational problems were significantly related to markers of clinical severity. As with previous research, family therapy was not differentially associated with a larger number of treatment sessions.     

CHANGING BUSINESS MODELS IN INTERNATIONAL BANK FUNDING

This paper investigates the foreign funding mix of globally active banks. Using BIS international banking statistics for a panel of 12 advanced economies, we detect a structural break in international bank funding at the onset of the great financial crisis. In their postbreak business model, banks rely less on cross‐border liabilities and, instead, tap funds from outside their jurisdictions by making more active use of their subsidiaries and branches, as well as interoffice accounts within the same banking group. (JEL C32, F65, G21)     

THE MONTE CARLO CYCLE IN BUSINESS ACTIVITY

NBER business"cycle" reference dates and aggregate economic time series are examined for evidence of regular cyclic behavior. A simple contingency table test is used on the reference dates, and aggregate series are fit with a second-order autoregression. The results are negative. Apparently the business "cycle" is an optical illusion or, as Irving Fisher called it, a "Monte Carlo cycle." These are the cycles superstitious gamblers believe govern their luck.     

POLITICAL BUSINESS CYCLES IN THE NEW KEYNESIAN MODEL

This paper tests various political business cycle theories in a New Keynesian model with a monetary and fiscal policy mix. All the policy coefficients, the target levels of inflation and the budget deficit, the firms' frequency of price setting, and the standard deviations of the structural shocks are allowed to depend on “political” regimes: a preelection versus postelection regime, a regime that depends on whether the president (or the Fed chairman) is a Democrat or a Republican, and a regime under which the president and the Fed chairman share party affiliation in preelection quarters or not. The results provide evidence that several coefficients are influenced by political variables. The best‐fitting specification, in fact, is one that allows coefficients to vary according to a regime that depends on whether the economy is in the few quarters before a presidential election or not. Monetary policy becomes considerably more inertial before elections and fiscal policy deviations from a simple rule are more common. There is some evidence that policies become more expansionary before elections, but this evidence disappears for monetary policy in the post‐1985 sample. (JEL C11, D72, E32, E52, E58, E63)     

RECESSIONS AND RECOVERIES IN REAL BUSINESS CYCLE MODELS

We evaluate the ability of a simple real business cycle model to generate business cycles in the classical NBER sense of the term, where recessions are periods of absolute declines in economic activity. We use the "phase" classification of Burns and Mitchell [1946] to determine the "shape" of the business cycle and to look for asymmetries between expansions and contractions. We show that such a model can generate business cycles of plausible duration and depth, but cannot match the actual "Shape" of the business cycle. Nonlinear models, such as Friedman's [1993] "plucking" model may more closely match the observed shape.     

DO ECONOMICS DEPARTMENTS SEARCH OPTIMALLY IN FACULTY RECRUITING?

We find that it is optimal for higher-quality departments to search broadly across many or even all fields in faculty recruiting, whereas it is optimal for lower-quality departments to conduct narrower searches. We develop a simple search model in which optimal search scope is shown to increase in department quality. Using data from Job Openings for Economists , we find that higher-ranked departments do conduct broader searches. We find that a 10-place increase in department ranking is associated with 3.5–4.8 more Journal of Economic Literature subfields listed in a position announcement. (JEL J44 , J64 , D83 , L8 )
