交易成本理论的最新发展与超越

交易成本理论是上个世纪 70年代中后期才逐渐形成和发展起来的一门新兴经济理论。它的出现不仅丰富了经济学的研究内容 ,扩大了经济学的研究范围 ,而且还使西方经济学的整个研究基础发生了改变。近年来 ,随着西方学者对交易成本理论研究的不断深入 ,各种新的观点和看法仍在不断涌现 ,这些新内容从不同角度对交易成本理论进行补充和完善。

试论优于要素契约的商品契约

以商品契约替代要素契约,或企业的非一体化现象,是目前正在发生的、与企业替代市场相反的现象。选择可测度的交易对象、实现测度手段或保证质量的技术进步,以及设计有效的契约或选择恰当的交易环节,是使得商品契约优于要素契约的条件。代替要素契约的商品契约是企业间寓指挥和服从于商品交易的特殊契约——超市场契约。

Estimating the probability of winning (losing) in a gambler's ruin problem with applications

In a classical gambler's ruin problem, the distribution of the number of games lost till ruin is considered, which we call the lost game distribution (LGD). Some applications of LGD in the theory of queues, in the theory of epidemic and in certain clustering and branching models are mentioned. The maximum likelihood estimation of LGD in the framework of modified power series distribution (MPSD), introduced by the author (1974), is studied. The variance and bias of the MLE are given and the actual mean of the MLE is obtained by discussing the negative moments of the MPSD in general. The minimum variance unbiased estimator of θ^k (k≥1) is obtained employing the technique developed by the author (1977) for the class of MPSD.     

应对公共危机的无效成本分析--以SARS事件为例

政府在抗击公共危机活动中居于主导地位,政府的行为、管理制度、管理方式影响到防治SARS的直接成本付出量及使用效率,从而影响到经济发展间接损失的量,由于管理制度不合理从而造成的疾病防治过程中的低效率所形成的直接支出和间接损失可以称为无效成本,在SARS危机中形成这些无效成本的因素主要表现在政府对危机的信息管理、资金管理和社会资源的组织等方面。

Resolution of evolutionary conflict: a general theory and its applications

While many cases in which conflict over the evolution of social behavior exists even between closely related individuals (e.g., parent-offspring conflict) have been pointed out, little attention has been paid on the problem of where such conflict should lead. A general theory of conflict resolution, however, has recently been developed. The key idea of the theory is the incorporation of conflict costs in the inclusive fitness evaluation. The theory shows that if both sides engaged in the conflict can potentially control the other at a cost, the coevolutionary game of escalating the fight with increased conflict costs always leads either side to give in to the other, resolving the conflict. Here we examine the logical basis of the theory in terms of a simplest example, donor-recipient conflict over the evolution of altruism, and to show its different types of application we review two more specific examples: reproductive-worker conflict over true (sterile) worker evolution in termites and insider-outsider conflict over group size determination. The latter exemplifies the resolution of conflict over the value of a variable (group size in this case) rather than a behavior, suggesting extended applicability of the basic theory.     

Financing of college education by single-parent and two-parent families

The financing of college education by male and female single-parent families and two-parent families is compared. Female single parents are at a significant disadvantage in being able to accumulate funds, but this is partially offset by financial aid. Variables accounting for significant variation in the parents' contribution to student education expenses are: public versus private school, financial aid, parents' saving behavior, students' contribution, race, and family type. The amount of parental contribution is positively correlated with parent net worth, family per capita income, and total student cost; it is negatively correlated with age of the student.This study utilized data from the National Postsecondary Education Student Aid Study prepared for the National Center for Education Statistics, U. S. Department of Education, by Westat, Inc. Partial support for the research was supplied by the College of Human Ecology and the Computer Science Center of the University of Maryland. The author expresses her appreciation to the Editor and Reviewers for their valuable suggestions.Her research interests include personal finance, family resource management, and personal factors affecting the handling of money. She is a graduate of Berea College, Berea, KY, and received both the M. Ed. and Ed. D. from The Pennsylvania State University.
