CONSUMING SATELLITE MODERNITIES

Although the globalized world has multiple modernities, it retains a power vector which is centripetal to developed centres. I propose to use the concept ‘satellite modernities’ to refer to the magnetic sites between centres of high-modernity and developing modernites in the rest of the world. In developing countries, newly modernized cities are reproducing, hybridizing, and domesticating a simplified western modernity, a modernity that is in turn consumed by less developed cities and territories within the same regions. Throughout Asia, these satellite sites draw migrants from all over the region to realize the dreams of the global west in the relative security and comfort of regional localities. In this paper, I investigate the consumption histories and practices of immigrants who have crossed the cultural boundary of post-socialist China into the cultural spaces of Hong Kong in different periods of time. This is a mid-range theoretical exercise that attempts to ground such concepts as modernity, consumption, and identity formation in concrete boundary-crossing experiences of Chinese immigrants.     

Consumption benefits and gambling: Evidence from the NCAA basketball betting market

The utility of gambling model posits that consumption benefits lead rational agents to gamble when faced with negative expected financial returns. We analyze the determinants of bet volume and dollars bet on NCAA basketball games from three on-line sports books to test the predictions of this model. Betting action depends on television coverage, team quality, and the expected closeness of the contest. Our results support the notion that consumption benefits, not financial gain, motivate gambling. Preferences of bettors appear similar to those of sports fans, suggesting that models of gamblers as wealth-maximizing investors may not explain observed betting behavior.

关于构建三网融合的思考

2010年初国务院提出加快推进三网融合构建,使三网融合步入正式启动阶段。我国电子信息产品的消费规模满足了三网构建的市场需求,而大力发展信息文化产业和服务业又使三网融合成为必然。目前,恶性竞争成为三网融合的一大阻碍,作为国家信息发展战略,必须明确三网融合最终目的应是满足人民的精神文化需求。立法监管机制的建立成为融合的保障,开辟适合消费市场需求的产业内容成为融合的依托。     

Risk Assessment of Escherichia coli O157 Illness from Consumption of Hamburgers in the United States Made from Australian Manufacturing Beef

We analyze the risk of contracting illness due to the consumption in the United States of hamburgers contaminated with enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) of serogroup O157 produced from manufacturing beef imported from Australia. We have used a novel approach for estimating risk by using the prevalence and concentration estimates of E. coli O157 in lots of beef that were withdrawn from the export chain following detection of the pathogen. For the purpose of the present assessment an assumption was that no product is removed from the supply chain following testing. This, together with a number of additional conservative assumptions, leads to an overestimation of E. coli O157‐associated illness attributable to the consumption of ground beef patties manufactured only from Australian beef. We predict 49.6 illnesses (95%: 0.0–148.6) from the 2.46 billion hamburgers made from 155,000 t of Australian manufacturing beef exported to the United States in 2012. All these illness were due to undercooking in the home and less than one illness is predicted from consumption of hamburgers cooked to a temperature of 68 °C in quick‐service restaurants.

消费函数的再考察:基于面板VAR的分析

运用面板VAR研究长江流域的消费与收入关系及消费或者收入对消费的"纯粹"影响.基于10个省的1981-2006年的宏观消费与收入的面板数据,研究发现:前期消费是影响消费的重要因素,收入的影响比较小;传统消费理论消费与收入正相关关系存在;消费变动是说明消费的主要因素,收入变动影响很小.为此实施消费政策比收入政策实施更为有效.
