Information Sharing in a Manufacturer–Supplier Relationship: Suppliers' Incentive and Production Efficiency

While there have been vast discussions on the materialistic benefits of continuous improvement from the Toyota and Honda experiences, the academic literature pays little attention to information sharing. In this study, we construct a dynamic adverse selection model in which the supplier privately observes her production efficiency, and in the contractual duration the manufacturer obtains an informative but imprecise signal regarding this private efficiency. We show that despite the disclosure of proprietary information, information sharing may benefit the supplier; the supplier's voluntary participation is more likely to occur when the shared information is rather imprecise. On the other hand, our analysis also reveals that this information sharing unambiguously gives rise to an upward push of the production quantity, and may sometimes lead to an upward distortion that ultimately hurts the supply chain. We also document the non‐trivial impact of the timing of information sharing on the supplier's incentive to participate.     

Using Panel Data to Understand the Dynamics of Human Behavior in Response to Flooding

Insights into the dynamics of human behavior in response to flooding are urgently needed for the development of effective integrated flood risk management strategies, and for integrating human behavior in flood risk modeling. However, our understanding of the dynamics of risk perceptions, attitudes, individual recovery processes, as well as adaptive (i.e., risk reducing) intention and behavior are currently limited because of the predominant use of cross-sectional surveys in the flood risk domain. Here, we present the results from one of the first panel surveys in the flood risk domain covering a relatively long period of time (i.e., four years after a damaging event), three survey waves, and a wide range of topics relevant to the role of citizens in integrated flood risk management. The panel data, consisting of 227 individuals affected by the 2013 flood in Germany, were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA and latent class growth analysis (LCGA) to utilize the unique temporal dimension of the data set. Results show that attitudes, such as the respondents’ perceived responsibility within flood risk management, remain fairly stable over time. Changes are observed partly for risk perceptions and mainly for individual recovery and intentions to undertake risk-reducing measures. LCGA reveal heterogeneous recovery and adaptation trajectories that need to be taken into account in policies supporting individual recovery and stimulating societal preparedness. More panel studies in the flood risk domain are needed to gain better insights into the dynamics of individual recovery, risk-reducing behavior, and associated risk and protective factors.     

国际化学院的课程体验调查分析

北京航空航天大学中法工程师学院通过中外合作的办学模式以实现国际化人才的培养,其重要途径之一就是通过对课程体系进行的改革,而人才培养的质量很大程度上也取决于所授课程的质量。运用一种在国际上普遍采用的课程质量调查方法———大学生课程体验调查,结合国际化学院的特殊背景修订问卷,对北航中法工程师学院与普通学院的学生进行课程体验的调查。调查发现,北航中法工程师学院学生对课程的满意程度高于普通学院学生,特别在良好教学与资源获取方面明显好于普通学院学生,但在课程收获和学业负担方面仍需改进。     

金融创新背景下个体网络借贷犯罪行为的认定

个体网络借贷发展迅速,但监管缺失导致了该行业的畸形发展,刑事风险攀升。《关于促进互联网金融健康发展的指导意见》首次对个体网络借贷做出规定,意义重大。个体网络借贷中债权转让和平台担保两种模式游走于罪与非罪的模糊地带,在相关立法和司法解释出台前,对这两种平台经营模式,刑法应该保持谦抑,谨慎介入。     

现代汉语语气词意义主观性的主体差异--以《雷雨》为例

文章旨在探讨说话人在使用现代汉语语气词表达主观意义时的主体差异。研究表明:表达主观意义的语言手段多种多样,说话人为了实现交际目的需对其进行选择,这种语言选择会受到各种主客观因素和话语功能的影响。文章尝试以语言主观性为理论基础, 建立现代汉语语气词意义主观性的分析模式,然后对《雷雨》中语气词意义主观性的主体差异进行了个案分析。      

究竟是“失语”还是“得语”——兼论“失语症”的解决之道

在中国现代文论建设中,“失语”现象时有发生,却不是主体;更为主流的是中西文论在遵循精神契合性、民族性、传统性基础上的“得语”。在20世纪的杜甫研究中,“人民性”“现实主义”“民胞物与”等概念的提出,显示出中国文论强大的生命力,是“得语”的明证。疗治“失语症”应该尊重中国文论建设基本规律的前提下,准确认清古代文论在当代社会的文化定位,以及它在经历百年现代化历史进程之后的社会属性,较少掺杂民族主义情感,代之以学理性的分析,重新评估中国现当代文学的创作实际。

价值观教育:问题与对策

价值观是指主体按照客观事物对其自身及社会的意义或重要性进行评价和选择的原则、信念和标准。以教与学为活动形式,有目的、有意识地促进个体价值观发展的实践活动就是价值观教育。当前价值观教育存在的问题主要是:教育者时常戴着面具训导学习者;知性色彩浓厚、人文性缺失在很大程度上加剧了价值观教育的困窘乏力;学校价值观教育在方法与内容上有错位之弊;家庭与学校在价值观教育上未能拧成一股绳。价值观教育的对策是:转变教育者的角色——由主宰者变为"平等中的首席";倡导走向人本与体验的价值观教育;不断完善价值观教育的方法与内容;加强家校协作。
