非同类企业竞争与合作策略收益模型及风险分析

在比较同类企业竞争策略模型与合作策略模型的基础上,讨论了价格的信息作用,分析了合作策略收益更大和风险并不随之增加的原因。然后以现代决策理念为出发点,探讨了企业最大利润与企业条件的关系,提出了与企业单位变动成本和生产能力条件相适应的合理最大利润的概念,对“理性企业的假设”赋予了“追求与企业条件相适应的合理最大利润”的新含义。据此设计了非同类企业产量分配函数,建立了适用性更广的非同类企业合作策略最佳收益模型,并给出了随市场价格变化的企业最佳应对策略。最后用1个算例来直观体现合作策略的优势。     

Maximizing Business Returns to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): The Role of CSR Communication

By engaging in corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, companies can not only generate favorable stakeholder attitudes and better support behaviors (e.g. purchase, seeking employment, investing in the company), but also, over the long run, build corporate image, strengthen stakeholder–company relationships, and enhance stakeholders' advocacy behaviors. However, stakeholders' low awareness of and unfavorable attributions towards companies' CSR activities remain critical impediments in companies' attempts to maximize business benefits from their CSR activities, highlighting a need for companies to communicate CSR more effectively to stakeholders. In light of these challenges, a conceptual framework of CSR communication is presented and its different aspects are analyzed, from message content and communication channels to company- and stakeholder-specific factors that influence the effectiveness of CSR communication.     

Accounting for Uncertainty in Heteroscedasticity in Nonlinear Regression

Toxicologists and pharmacologists often describe toxicity of a chemical using parameters of a nonlinear regression model. Thus estimation of parameters of a nonlinear regression model is an important problem. The estimates of the parameters and their uncertainty estimates depend upon the underlying error variance structure in the model. Typically, a priori the researcher would not know if the error variances are homoscedastic (i.e., constant across dose) or if they are heteroscedastic (i.e., the variance is a function of dose). Motivated by this concern, in this paper we introduce an estimation procedure based on preliminary test which selects an appropriate estimation procedure accounting for the underlying error variance structure. Since outliers and influential observations are common in toxicological data, the proposed methodology uses M-estimators. The asymptotic properties of the preliminary test estimator are investigated; in particular its asymptotic covariance matrix is derived. The performance of the proposed estimator is compared with several standard estimators using simulation studies. The proposed methodology is also illustrated using a data set obtained from the National Toxicology Program.     

人机系统中作业者心理负荷问题研究综述及展望

心理负荷既是效率问题,更重要的是安全问题。由于机器自动化、知识经济和信息社会的快速发展,效率问题得到有效的解决,而人的心理健康以及职业安全问题则日益突出,造成这种状况的根本原因就是沉重的心理负荷。从20世纪70年代以来,众多研究者力图去定义心理负荷,后来发现只能下＂操作化定义＂。以威肯斯（C.D.Wickens,1984,2002）为代表的一些研究者找到了更有效的研究方法,即通过模型去进行测评研究。后来的研究不再把心理负荷作为纯效率问题,而是作为身心健康问题进行研究。本文认为,心理负荷的测评应该成为安全职业适应性的核心内容。     

Community-Based Design Research: Learning Across Generations and Strategic Transformations of Institutional Relations Toward Axiological Innovations

The socio-ecological challenges facing communities in the 21st century are building towards a critical conjuncture of history, culture, power, and profound inequity. Scholars working in the service of social transformation and improving the wellbeing of communities are calling for creative, deliberate, and consequential interventions. Tharp & O’Donnell (this issue) call for increased engagement between Cultural-Community Psychology and Cultural-Historical Activity Theory to lead this kind of call. Drawing from our experiences in community based design research, we argue for cultivating axiological innovations in research and interventions. We explore three examples including: critical historicity, inter-generational learning, and strategic transformations of institutional relations.     

胡适杂文的艺术初论

本文从解读胡适杂文的文本入手,从文体结构、论证方法、行文造句及文学手法的运用诸方面探讨胡适杂文的表现艺术,指出胡适的杂文有三个突出的艺术特点:其一,结构严密。论证环环紧扣,说理极为有力。其二,清楚明白。一是思想清楚,观点明确;二是语言显浅,明白通俗。其三,议论形象。一是勾勒形象,说理可感;二是善用比喻、富于幽默,全文既通俗浅白,也还生动形象。     

我国人口预期寿命的结构及影响因素研究—基于省级面板数据的分析

基于省级面板数据,本文对预期寿命结构及其影响因素问题进行研究。首先,文章分析了我国整体预期寿命及两性预期寿命的地理分布特性,随时间的变化特点,以及与经济发展水平的关系。然后,建立预期寿命的固定效应模型,分析不同影响因素与预期寿命的关系。研究发现经济发展水平、教育和卫生资源对男性和女性预期寿命会产生不同的影响,其中经济发展水平会显著影响女性预期寿命,而教育对男性预期寿命的影响更显著。由此,经济发展水平的提高会导致两性预期寿命差距的增加,而教育水平的提高和卫生资源投入的增加则可能会降低两性预期寿命的差距。     

Lagrange multiplier unit root test in the presence of a break in the innovation variance

We show that the Lagrange multiplier (LM) unit root test exhibits size distortions when a break in the innovation variance exists but is ignored. We develop a modified LM unit root test that is based on a generalized least-squares transformation of the original series. The asymptotic null distribution of the new modified LM unit root test is derived. Finite-sample simulation evidence shows that the modified LM unit root test maintains its size and has reasonable power against the trend stationary alternative.
