考虑残值变化和顾客异质性的零售商定价与库存决策

本文研究策略型消费者对零售商的定价和库存决策的影响。与以往的研究假设残值固定不变,且消费者均为策略型消费者不同的是,本文考虑了顾客的异质性以及残值由清仓期库存决定这一特点。本文的研究表明:在消费者均为策略型消费者,且清楚零售商将采取残值定价策略的情况下,零售商可以通过数量保证策略来提高自身的期望利润,降低库存订货量。在考虑顾客异质性的条件下,当零售商采取估值定价策略时,零售商的最大期望利润与短视型消费者在市场上的比例成正相关。并且,存在一个唯一的阈值点,当短视型消费者在市场上的比例高于这一阈值点时,估值定价策略优于保留价格定价策略,反之,则保留价格定价策略更优。     

环境规制、金融控制与经济波动

环境规制在降低经济活动的负外部效应时也造成了经济波动,金融发展是否可以平抑这种波动?对中国31个省市1980-2011年环境规制、金融发展及经济波动的面板数据进行实证,结果发现:环境规制强度跟经济波动呈正相关关系;金融发展程度对经济波动有平抑作用;金融控制越弱、金融发展水平越高的地区,环境规制对经济波动的影响程度越小。中国应在提高环境规制强度的同时,大力发展金融市场,以弱化对经济运行的负面作用。     

Constructing Unemployment: Britain and France in Historical Perspective

Unemployment emerged as a specific social issue in the late‐19th century, but the nature of the threat it posed and the governing instruments available to address it varied widely. Using Britain and France as strongly contrasting cases, this article demonstrates the variable and historically contingent constructions of unemployment as a problem, and demonstrates how policy to address it was developed using administrative agencies that embodied specific, normative visions of how society and employment should operate. The different governing trajectories through which the issue was tackled is analyzed in terms of the context within which the problem of unemployment originally emerged. The article demonstrates the socio‐political nature of unemployment's construction and, with reference to recent labour market change, questions its utility as a means of assessing economic or social well‐being.     

中国与欧盟外交关系的再思考——以中欧全面战略伙伴关系为例

冷战后的国际体系处在剧烈的转型变化过程中,中国的国家利益及对外关系也根据国际体系的变化得以调整。自2003年中欧全面战略伙伴关系建立以来,中欧关系一度发展顺利,但2006年欧盟发布的第五份对华战略文件却引发此后几年中欧关系的波折。本文试图厘清中欧关系在中国外交战略中的定位,并以中欧全面战略伙伴关系为例,深入探讨中国与欧盟外交关系中存在的现实问题,为实施更为有效的对欧盟外交政策提供参考。     

Who uses public childcare for 2‐year‐old children? Coherent family policies and usage patterns in Sweden,Finland and Western Germany

European countries have increased their public childcare provision for children under age 3. However, it is unclear if and how usage patterns differ across countries. This study examined the relationship between the socio‐economic characteristics of mothers and the use of childcare for 2‐year‐old children. Using European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions data for the years 2005–2008, we analysed the characteristics of mothers and usage patterns in Sweden, Finland and Western Germany. To single out the effect of maternal employment, working and non‐working mothers were investigated separately. Our findings showed that, in Sweden, a country with strong support for dual‐earner families, usage was largely independent of mothers' characteristics. However, in Western Germany, where more support is given to male breadwinner families, and in Finland, a country with pluralistic family support, highly educated mothers were found to be more likely to use childcare than were mothers with lower levels of education.     

子女需求对城市家庭居住方式的影响

本文使用中国家庭动态跟踪调查2010年初访数据,着重分析了子女需求对城市家庭居住方式的影响。研究发现,子女需求是导致年轻夫妇与父母同住的重要原因,这种需求一方面表现在经济上,尤其是在住房上对父母的依赖;另一方面表现在需要父母分担家务和帮助照料小孩。所以,除了父母的养老需求,子女需求对城市家庭居住选择的影响也同样不容忽视。在现代化和人口流动的背景下,虽然城市家庭有核心化的趋势,但由于当代中国城市家庭依然发挥着不可替代的重要功能,大家庭在未来依然有继续存在的必要性。     

"Many Helping Hands": A Review and Analysis of Long-term Care Policies, Programs, and Practices in Singapore

Using the political economy perspective to examine key long-term care policies and provisions, we uncover some ideological underpinnings of policy-making in Singapore. Family involvement, an inherent part of the long-term care system, is overtly reinforced by legislations and policy imperatives. Further, the government encourages and expects the participation of nonstate actors in the provision of services as part of its Many Helping Hands approach to welfare provision. In our analysis, we argue that the government's emphasis of certain ideology, such as self-reliance and cultural exceptionalism, allows it to adopt a residual and philanthropic approach in support of its macro-economic and legitimacy concerns.     

Dynamic Procurement,Quantity Discounts,and Supply Chain Efficiency

We study a model with a single supplier and a single buyer who interact multiple times before the buyer sells her product in the end‐consumer market. We show that when the supplier uses a wholesale price contract, even under perfect foresight, the supplier, the buyer, and the end consumers benefit from multiple trading opportunities versus a one‐shot procurement agreement.     

关于高校应用战略成本管理的思考

战略成本管理作为一种先进的成本管理方法,已普遍被企业界所接受.高校学生培养成本管理及核算的重要性也越来越受到社会各界的高度关注.高校为了科学确定成本分担机制,加强资源合理配置,提高办学效益和办学积极性,必然要寻求一种适合高校的成本管理方法.通过对战略成本管理内容的研究,结合高校目前成本核算和管理的现状,分析了高校进行成本管理的必要性和应用战略成本管理的可行性,并从高校内部价值链、高校战略定位和高校成本动因三方面对高校应用战略成本管理进行了分析,从而为高校提供了一种科学的成本管理方法.
