中国人口老龄化区域溢出与分布差异的空间计量经济学研究

将空间因素纳入我国人口老龄化问题的研究框架,对各地区人口老龄化的空间分布特征进行概括和探索性空间数据分析,利用空间计量经济学理论方法和空间误差模型,对各要素影响作用的方向和大小进行实证研究,最后得出综合结论和政策建议。除老龄化惯性、人口增长以外,首次对人口老龄化区域溢出机制进行了重点阐述。我国人口老龄化区域溢出作用不仅客观存在,而且影响显著,这一发现从空间维度拓宽了研究视野,为我国人口老龄化问题理论研究和政策制定提供了有益的借鉴。     

Are there more almost separable partitions than separable partitions?

A partition of a set of n points in d-dimensional space into p parts is called an (almost) separable partition if the convex hulls formed by the parts are (almost) pairwise disjoint. These two partition classes are the most encountered ones in clustering and other partition problems for high-dimensional points and their usefulness depends critically on the issue whether their numbers are small. The problem of bounding separable partitions has been well studied in the literature (Alon and Onn in Discrete Appl. Math. 91:39–51, 1999; Barnes et al. in Math. Program. 54:69–86, 1992; Harding in Proc. Edinb. Math. Soc. 15:285–289, 1967; Hwang et al. in SIAM J. Optim. 10:70–81, 1999; Hwang and Rothblum in J. Comb. Optim. 21:423–433, 2011a). In this paper, we prove that for d≤2 or p≤2, the maximum number of almost separable partitions is equal to the maximum number of separable partitions.     

Order consolidation for hierarchical product lines

We consider the batch production of hierarchical product lines in raw material industry where the whole or parts of multiple customer orders may be consolidated and processed in the same batch if their product specifications are compatible. The objective of the problem is to find maximum possible number of batches completely filled up to their capacity. The compatibility relationship among product specifications is represented by a graph called the compatibility graph. If the compatibility graph is an arbitrary graph, the problem is proven to be NP-hard and belongs to Max SNP-hard class. We develop an optimum algorithm for an important subclass of the problem where the graph is a quasi-threshold graph which in fact is the case for producing hierarchical product lines that are often found in raw materials industry.     

Family Control and Stock Market Reactions to Innovation Announcements

Although family firms are common around the world, studies on family‐controlled business are limited. Prior studies mainly focused on the influences of family ownership on overall firm performance, and the results were mixed. In this study we attempted to explore the impacts of family ownership on innovation by examining the association of family control and stock market reactions to innovation announcements. We found that firms with greater family control experienced significantly more negative stock market reactions to innovation announcements. The results further indicated that divergence of cash flow and voting rights was strongly and negatively correlated with announcement‐period abnormal returns. In addition, the findings suggested a significantly positive moderating effect of institutional ownership. The conclusions were robust under various measures of family control, and remained valid after controlling other influential factors for stock market reactions to innovation announcements.     

竞争中的参考价格效应及承诺

消费者的社会感知会影响其对产品和品牌的评价。当消费者进行购买选择时,经常会受到参考价格效应的影响。而广告和价格不仅是企业经常要考虑的重要决策,还会对参考价格产生重要影响。为此,一个值得研究的的问题是：在考虑参考价格效应的情况下,企业该怎样确定其动态广告和价格策略？
为了研究该问题,本文构建了一个广告和价格的动态模型,来研究一个双寡头市场环境下两个寡头企业的价格和广告决策,并以此分析参考价格效应的作用。具体而言,我们假定企业可以采用广告承诺和价格承诺中的一种,其中前者承诺其在一段时间内的广告投入量恒定不变,而后者确保价格不变。两种策略不仅会影响消费者的购买决策,也会影响竞争对手的选择。在上述假定下,我们探讨了两个寡头企业在都采用广告承诺、都采用价格承诺及一个企业采用广告承诺而另一个企业采用价格承诺等三种不同情形下的最优广告和价格决策,并以此分析了三种情形下参考价格效应对最优的广告投入及定价策略的影响。最后,通过数值分析,探讨了不同情形下企业的最优策略选择。     

虚拟社区知识共享主体对首购意愿的作用机理研究

虚拟社区知识共享的匿名性和互动性特征使知识共享过程中共享主体的影响尤其显著.以有过虚拟社区知识共享经历的消费者为样本,探讨虚拟社区知识共享对消费者首购意愿的作用机理,分析知识共享主体特征对消费者感知风险的影响以及消费者感知风险对消费者首购意愿的作用;通过在网上论坛发放电子问卷、滚雪球和街头拦截的形式回收有效问卷366份,采用多元线性回归和层次线性回归对假设进行检验.研究结果表明,共享主体的特征可以划分为发送者专业能力、关系强度和发送者社区地位3个维度,这3个维度通过感知风险正向影响首购意愿,产品涉入度对共享主体与感知风险的负向关系产生显著的正向调节作用.该结论为企业在虚拟社区进行有效的口碑营销及危机公关提供决策支持.     

TOT项目融资中国有资产转让定价的博弈分析

本文以TOT项目融资方式为对象,运用博弈的方法,从合理分配国有资产经营期内增值收入的角度出发,得出这样的结论,在国有资产转让过程中,政府与私营资本之间的谈判是一系列复杂的博弈过程,在博弈中政府的最优行为是对国有资产转让进行招标,同时给予某一招标企业一定的中标优先权,这样政府能够较现行的国有资产转让方式获得更多的收益.     

中国股票市场的信息反应曲线和股票价格波动的非对称性

股票价格波动对于市场信息的反应过程具有非对称性。通过利用多种非对称性GARCH 模型,描述和检验了沪市股票日收益率序列的条件波动性,并通过对股票市场信息影响曲线的分析,发现沪市股票价格波动中存在显著的非对称性反应。这说明股市波动对于不同的政策干预和信息冲击具有不同程度的反应,“利好消息”对股市的刺激作用仍然需要其他市场干预的配合才能发挥出来。     

One-dimensional optimal bounded-shape partitions for Schur convex sum objective functions

Consider the problem of partitioning n nonnegative numbers into p parts, where part i can be assigned n_i numbers with n_i lying in a given range. The goal is to maximize a Schur convex function F whose ith argument is the sum of numbers assigned to part i. The shape of a partition is the vector consisting of the sizes of its parts, further, a shape (without referring to a particular partition) is a vector of nonnegative integers (n₁,..., n_p) which sum to n. A partition is called size-consecutive if there is a ranking of the parts which is consistent with their sizes, and all elements in a higher-ranked part exceed all elements in the lower-ranked part. We demonstrate that one can restrict attention to size-consecutive partitions with shapes that are nonmajorized, we study these shapes, bound their numbers and develop algorithms to enumerate them. Our study extends the analysis of a previous paper by Hwang and Rothblum which discussed the above problem assuming the existence of a majorizing shape.
