社会认知视角的虚假意识——基于《资本论》的分析

从科学认知角度来看,《资本论》及其手稿中的虚假意识概念主要是在社会认知的意义上来界定的。尽管虚假意识在科学上是虚假的,但它的产生却有其必然性,这种必然性源自于资本主义社会表面现象歪曲、颠倒本质所造成的不透明性。虚假意识有其存在的理由和意义,这主要表现为虚假意识在资本主义现实经济生活中所承担的功能。这种功能以“价值转化为生产价格”为基础。全面的马克思虚假意识理论研究需要将马克思的哲学文本和经济学文本结合起来。     

化资本理论视野下的英语学习动机与自我认同的建构———对理工科硕士研究生英语学习的定量考察

文化资本理论认为学习者的动机以及自我认同不仅仅是一个心理学概念,更是一个社会学概念。诸多体现学习者社会阶层的个人因素与学生的学习动机,自我认同相互交织,相互影响。本研究对某综合性大学的理工科硕士研究生开展定量考察,分析代表英语学习者社会阶层的个人因素,学习动机及自我认同的特点及相互关系。在日渐多元的社会,如何构建和谐的英语学习生态,帮助来自不同地域以及不同社会阶层的学生获得最大的发展,是需要探讨的课题。     

河北省港口建设与临港工业发展在环渤海地区的地位和作用

珠三角以轻纺工业为龙头,加速产业发展,打造了中国第一个经济发展引擎;长三角以现代服务业为龙头,加速产业发展,打造了中国第二个经济发展引擎,随着我国向工业化、现代化迈进,重化工业成为我国加速经济发展的战略支撑产业,环渤海地区将以港口为依托,带动重化工业及其相关产业的集群发展,打造中国第三个经济发展引擎。按照世界重化工业向沿海转移的发展趋势,环渤海地区冶金、石化工业向沿海转移势在必行,首钢搬迁河北曹妃甸,将成为推动环渤海地区临港工业发展的启动点。曹妃甸工程作为全国“十一五”规划的重点工程和河北省的“一号工程”,它的实施不仅是河北省面临的一次空前的发展机遇,而且对环渤海地区生产力布局的优化调整,以及临港重化工业基地建设具有巨大的推动作用和深远的影响。     

Why a Decision Maker May Prefer a Seemingly Unfair Gamble

It is generally believed that risk-averse managers will not accept unfair gambles and therefore may not have the incentive to invest in high-risk projects, products or technology. This paper argues that this is not necessarily so. Rational, risk-averse managers with sufficient preference for positive skewness may undertake projects with payoff distributions that are unfair gambles. Furthermore, the minimum required payoff is shown to be less for managers with preference for positive skewness than otherwise. Thus, a risk-averse manager with preference for positive skewness may accept potentially innovative high-risk projects that are rejected by those without such preference.     

创业资本运动机理:一个马克思主义视角

创业资本不仅是一种新型的投融资方式,更是一种从产业资本中分离出来的专门执行企业研发阶段投资职能的独立资本形态,它具有独立的资本人格化代表———创业资本家,执行着独立的资本职能———创业企业研发阶段投资职能,有着独立的赢利目的———获取创业利润。创业资本从产业资本独立出来具有一定的历史必然性,它是第三次科技革命和金融创新的产物。创业资本在运动目标、运动形式、运动结构和运动所体现的社会关系上具有与产业资本既联系又区别的运动规律;创业利润的实质是对创业垄断利润的提前支取,其最终来源是创新劳动,实现来源是创业资本特殊的虚拟定价方式。在上述意义上认识创业资本才能推动当前萧条的创投业的进一步发展。     

新生代外来务工人员城市适应性:个人因素与制度因素的比较——基于中山市的实证研究

近些年,国内外学者大多都是从制度角度讨论外来务工人员在城市中的边缘人状况。文章以问卷调查以及访谈等研究方法,对外来务工人员的城市适应性进行个人因素与制度因素的比较,发现个人原因也是影响其城市适应性的重要因素。通过对外来务工人员个人因素的分析,旨在使其从心理上摆脱弱势群体的影响,以提升自身人力资本存量,积极主动的融入城市生活。     

Correction Constants for Present Values of Sub-Annual Cash Flows*

When future cash flows are expected to occur at sub-annual intervals, it is widely recognized that present value estimates are biased by the common assumption that each year's flows occur at year-end. Although a “brute force” remedy for the end-of-year (EOY) bias is well known, the method does not appear to be generally used for financial decisions. The author suggests the possible reasons for continued tolerance of EOY bias are that the present method for eliminating the bias is too cumbersome or that the amount of bias is thought to be negligible. The paper also (a) examines the current remedy, indicating several features that hamper its use, (b) presents a correction constant approach that simplifies calculation of unbiased present values for streams of sub-annual cash flows, (c) derives expressions for correction constants under two alternative assumptions about sub-annual discounting, and (d) demonstrates use of the constants and the possible decision-relevance of EOY bias by a simple capital budgeting example.     

Cash Flow Modelling and Forecasting in Capital Budgeting Under Uncertainty*

The subject of this paper is modelling and forecasting of cash flows generated by a capital investment. The paper proposes the application of autoregressive, moving average, and mixed autoregressive moving-average processes to capital budgeting. In addition, models for deterministic, stochastic and seasonal trends are considered. For each class of cash flows, analytical expressions are developed for the mean and variance of a project's net present value (NPV). Also considered are several equilibrium pricing models. For two of them, the forecasting methodology developed here is integrated into the pricing equation. Although the overall emphasis of the paper is on modelling and forecasting of cash flows, the implications for NPV pricing and risk analysis are also investigated. Several examples are used to illustrate the impact of particular cash flow models on the price and risk of a project.     

Capital markets integration and economic growth in the European Union

This paper argues that a deeper integration of capital markets in the European Union is necessary to support accelerated economic growth. Further integrated equity and bond markets will provide access to capital funding improve the allocation of capital, help mitigate market and systemic risks, and ultimately foster a counter-cyclical, sustained real economy growth. The paper provides evidence that the increases in both total portfolio equity and debt to GDP ratios in the euro area actively contribute to real GDP growth.     

Applying a Markov chain for the stock pricing of a novel forecasting model

In this article, a stock-forecasting model is developed to analyze a company's stock price variation related to the Taiwanese company HTC. The main difference to previous articles is that this study uses the data of the HTC in recent ten years to build a Markov transition matrix. Instead of trying to predict the stock price variation through the traditional approach to the HTC stock problem, we integrate two types of Markov chain that are used in different ways. One is a regular Markov chain, and the other is an absorbing Markov chain. Through a regular Markov chain, we can obtain important information such as what happens in the long run or whether the distribution of the states tends to stabilize over time in an efficient way. Next, we used an artificial variable technique to create an absorbing Markov chain. Thus, we used an absorbing Markov chain to provide information about the period between the increases before arriving at the decreasing state of the HTC stock. We provide investors with information on how long the HTC stock will keep increasing before its price begins to fall, which is extremely important information to them.
