新生代农民工的友缘关系分析

在新生代农民工的社会关系中,友缘是一种涵盖范围广并具有特殊性的关系形态。以往的研究大多将“朋友”与“亲戚”放在一起并称为“亲友”,但这一概念在日后的演变中逐渐离析。根据问卷调查的数据,友缘（化）关系可以分为三种类型：“友缘化关系”,“初级友缘关系”,“次级友缘关系”。不管何种类型,在新生代农民工融入城市的过程中都会发生友缘社会资本的变动。一方面．个体借助“友缘链”扩展社会资本,通过偶然机会结识朋友的比例很高。另一方面,不可抗的社会事件是造成友缘社会资本流失的重要原因。     

城市青年志愿活动参与动机研究

综合国际上对志愿者参与动机研究与我国本土经验研究,有利于深入分析城市青年参与志愿活动原因与动机。目前,青年参与志愿服务活动动机呈多元化特征：青年参与志愿者服务活动体现出较明显的政府动员特征,而宗教价值驱动不明显;青年参与志愿服务活动时,更多是基于一种社会公益的奉献精神与互助精神,在参与活动过程中也获得社会资本的积累。     

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.     

Voices of 65 Young People Leaving Care in Sweden: “There Is So Much I Need to Know!”

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine young care leavers’ experiences of supportive and nonsupportive factors after leaving care. Telephone interviews were conducted with 65 young people, between 18 and 26 years old, who had left care in Sweden within the previous 3 months to 3 years. The care-leaving process was in many cases described by the young people as badly planned and compressed. Some interviewees received support from the formal network (social services, foster carers, residential homes, contact persons) for housing (37) and financial matters (36), but few received support from the formal network concerning employment (14) and education (11). Emotional support was mainly provided by partners and friends. Altogether, the results suggest that access to support is a helpful factor for young people leaving care, but also that many of our interviewees had no such access, from neither formal nor informal networks.     

Strategic role of public relations in enterprise strategy,governance and sustainability—A normative framework

The purpose of the study was to suggest a normative framework for the development of an organization's enterprise (societal role/stakeholder) strategy, indicating its relationship with governance, sustainability, and CSR. The normative framework contains two dimensions: Enterprise strategy is developed within the context of enterprise governance as well as social and environmental sustainability and responsibility, to achieve the organization's strategic non-financial goals (the sustainability dimension). Corporate strategy is developed within the context of corporate governance as well as economic sustainability and responsibility, to achieve strategic financial/economic goals (the business dimension). PR/communication management plays a strategic role in enterprise strategy development but a support role in corporate strategy development. The development of enterprise strategy necessitates a Triple Bottom Line approach to strategic management.     

生态资本化:消解现代性生态危机何以可能

现代性通过人的主体地位的张扬、科技理性的泛化和资本的扩张为人类带来巨大的物质财富和资本的积累,同时也带来了生态破坏、环境污染和气候变暖等生态危机。那么,如何消解现代性与生态危机这一两难问题已成为人类目前所面临的挑战。从理论和实践的角度来论证生态资本化,在合理利己主义和生态人假设的前提下,既可以满足人类对物资财富的追求,同时也可以实现生态环境的有效保护,从而达到人与生态的和谐共生及可持续发展这一终极目标。     

中国公司股权集中度变化趋势及环境条件分析

中国公司不论是上市公司还是非上市国有与民营公司,都具有股权高度集中的显著特征。而股权高度集中与中国公司治理结构存在的种种缺陷在很大程度上是一种因果关联。随着经济与证券市场的发展,股权呈现出由集中向分散发展的变化趋势。股权相对分散使公司治理的内部与外部机制更能充分地发挥监督制衡作用,是当代公司相对理想的一种选择。股权集中度的变化需要一定的环境与条件创造,如法律制度的完善、资本市场与经理人市场的发展等。尤其应借鉴国外法律,赋予创始股东更多话语权与控制权,促进股权相对分散局面形成。     

资本逻辑与经济转型

人类经济活动有其内在的运行规律,这就是资本逻辑。对内,资本逻辑要求建立法治秩序,建立平等的竞争环境;对外,资本逻辑则是到处扩展,力求建立自己的殖民体系。经济转型的本质在于变外源型经济为内源型经济。当经济启动的要素不仅仅是外在的,而且是内在的;经济启动的动力不仅仅是资源要素,而且是人力资本要素;经济运行的周期不再是简单的克隆与重复,而是有一个不断的创新过程;那么,经济转型就是一个实实在在的进程。     

产业资本和金融资本:马克思关于金融危机理论

从马克思主义的工人与资本家两阶级理论出发,建立在卡莱茨基利润决定模型基础上的三阶级理论框架解释了由金融收入主导的资本主义经济体的不稳定性。金融收入的上升,导致了再分配效应、需求效应和金融不稳定效应,进而对有效需求、资本积累等产生了负面影响,在紧缩和产出过剩危机条件下,资本主义经济就愈发不稳定。反之,间接证明了马克思关于资本主义金融危机理论的正确性。
