财政补贴分配方式变革能促进企业创新吗?

本文基于全国税收调查数据,将财政专项资金竞争性分配改革作为准自然实验,使用双重差分法考察竞争性财政补贴分配方式对企业创新的影响。研究结果表明：相比于传统的财政补贴分配方式,竞争性财政补贴分配方式能够更好地激励企业创新,并且这种激励作用具有持久性。竞争性财政补贴分配方式通过“挑选效应”和“认证效应”两种机制激励企业创新。进一步分析表明：以GDP为主的绩效考核压力会削弱竞争性财政补贴分配方式的创新激励作用,市场化水平提高能够增强竞争性财政补贴分配方式的创新激励作用,财政专项资金竞争性分配改革对中小企业创新激励作用更为明显。     

渐进性抑或颠覆性：金融集聚的创新激励效应研究

基于2009—2019年中国省际面板数据,采用SYS-GMM模型、中介效应模型、空间计量模型和面板门槛模型等方法,系统考察金融集聚的创新激励效应。结果显示,金融集聚发展能够有效提升颠覆性创新和渐进性创新,且这种提升效应因地理区位和集聚程度的不同而存在异质特征。通过中介效应模型进行机制检验后发现,金融集聚可以通过缓解资本要素扭曲和劳动力要素扭曲两种途径间接促进技术创新,且在金融集聚对颠覆性创新的激励效应中发挥主要作用的是资本要素扭曲缓解,而在对渐进性创新的激励效应中劳动力要素扭曲缓解是主要路径。在空间特征方面,由于金融集聚存在明显的虹吸效应,对颠覆性和渐进性创新的提升作用只在本地区体现,并存在负向的空间溢出效应抑制邻近地区技术创新。在非线性特征方面,金融集聚对颠覆性创新和渐进性创新的影响程度和方向都存在着明显的差异,在经济发展和产权结构门槛的约束下,金融集聚发展的驱动功效呈现边际递增态势;但只有在适度的政府引导和对外开放条件下,金融集聚才能更好地发挥创新激励效应,提升技术创新水平。     

知识产权环境与区域创新——金融发展的调节作用

综合考虑知识产权制度体系、服务体系和知识产权意识等因素,探索从金融发展的视角研究知识产权环境与区域创新的关系。利用我国31个省份2012—2019年的面板数据,用固定效应模型开展直接效应、间接传导、异质性传导机制分析,实证探究知识产权环境对区域创新的影响路径。结果表明,知识产权环境的优劣与区域创新产出有明显的正相关性,金融发展在知识产权环境对区域创新的直接和中介效应中存在明显的调节效应,改善知识产权环境可以增强金融对研发投入的促进作用,同时抑制金融对实体经济的挤出效应;相较于中、西部地区,知识产权环境改善对东部地区创新产出水平的提升作用较小。根据研究结果,从完善知识产权制度和知识产权服务体系以及树立知识产权意识3个方面提出对策建议。     

高等教育私人支出、家庭贡献与资助需求分析

自1997年我国高等教育普遍实行成本补偿制度以来,高等学校收费和学生资助引起了社会各界的普遍关注。高等教育的私人支出有多少?受教育者本人及其家庭能贡献多少?学生资助能否弥补贡献能力与必需支出之间的差距,从而保证高等教育的公平性?本文通过大学生问卷调查对这一问题进行了实证研究和定量分析,并根据研究结果提出了相应的政策建议。

Business schools,the anxiety of finance,and the order of the ‘middle tier’

Financial imagination plays a fundamental, yet ambivalent role in the establishment of hierarchies within and between business schools, and in business life at large. This study examines this process in the ‘middle tier’ of business education: that is, in the social space in which students and instructors understand themselves to occupy a ‘mid-range’ position within an order of excellence and success. Largely articulated through business school rankings, this order strongly relies on the centrality of the financial curriculum, proficiency in which is understood as both a proxy for smartness and a sign of moneymaking capacity. In the ‘middle tier’, this order manifests in the form of an anxiety: an order that, though legitimate, is thought not to be attained, or hardly attainable. The study draws from ethnographic investigation in a ‘middle tier’ business school with attention to how finance is made sense of in relation to an alternative curriculum, and in connection with the aim of ‘making it to the top’. A comparison with a ‘top tier’ business school allows furthering understanding of how the order of business schools relies on the anxiety of finance in order to reproduce an acquiescence to dominant financial imagination.     

An examination of the relationship between social self-efficacy and personal growth initiative in international context

The cross-cultural transitioning experience of international students has been viewed as a high-impact practice for student learning. International students experience both challenges and growth opportunities when they encounter new peoples and environments. However, limited research exists on the student factors that predict benefits, growth or resilience for international students through their cross-cultural transitioning experience. This study investigated social self-efficacy as a predictor of personal growth initiative amongst international students, above and beyond demographic and linguistic factors. In addition, the factorial structure of Personal Growth Initiative Scale-II was examined. Our results indicated that the perceived ability to successfully negotiate social situations and produce positive social interactions predict greater personal growth initiative and its dimensions regardless of students’ language proficiency. Moreover, results from the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) provided further support for the first-order four-factor structure of the PGIS-II. Results have implications for improving international student integration, because efforts to support students’ social self-efficacy are linked to their personal growth initiative.     

经济新常态下我国体育用品制造企业主要财务指标比较及对策研究

采用文献资料、比较分析、数理统计等研究方法,围绕企业盈利能力、成长能力、运营能力和偿债能力4个方面,对2012~2015年我国不同登记注册类型的体育用品制造企业的主要财务指标进行比较分析。结果显示：（1）体育用品制造企业的整体盈利水平实现正向增长,盈利能力强弱顺序为集体企业、私营企业、股份制企业、外商和港澳台投资企业、股份合作制企业及国有企业;（2）体育用品制造企业增长速度较快,成长能力强弱顺序为国有企业、集体企业、私营企业、股份制企业、外商和港澳台投资企业、股份合作制企业;（3）运营能力强弱顺序为集体企业、股份合作制企业、私营企业、国有企业、外商和港澳台投资企业、股份制企业;（4）企业偿债能力强弱顺序为集体企业、股份合作制企业、国有企业、外商和港澳台投资企业、股份制企业和私营企业;（5）总体而言,近4年来集体所有制体育用品制造企业的各方面能力均较强,但其余5类企业在各方面能力上的强弱差异性过大,两极分化问题非常突出。据此,以新常态下中国经济发展的基本特征为切入点,从企业组织形式转型、创新创业、品牌建设、政策扶持、人才培养、融资约束、贸易环境等8个方面,提出了我国体育用品制造企业发展的对策和建议。     

‘The old days of amateurism are over’: the Samaranch revolution and the return of Olympic tennis

Tennis featured in every Olympics from 1896 to 1924, after which disagreements between the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Lawn Tennis Federation (ILTF) on matters pertaining to organisational control and the amateur eligibility of players led to tennis being removed from the Olympic Games as a full-medal event until the 1988 Seoul Olympics. This paper traces the steps of the sport’s reinstatement, from when efforts commenced in the 1950s, setting this development in the contexts of: broader political movements, shifting IOC leadership, burgeoning commercialisation of Olympic sport, the concomitant push for professionalisation and the declining influence of amateur ideals within both the Olympic movement and international tennis. Under the leadership of the amateur stalwart Avery Brundage, the IOC stymied attempts to facilitate tennis’s re-entry, challenging both the ILTF on failing to deal with widespread ‘sham-amateur’ practices and the avaricious promoters luring amateur players toward the professional ranks. Brundage and the IOC also strongly condemned the move to ‘open’ tennis and an acceptance of full-blown professionalism. Only a change in leadership, firstly with Lord Killanin and then the progressive reformer Juan Antonio Samaranch, did the IOC recognise the value of tennis within the Olympic movement, which by then had itself become increasingly money-oriented.     

Minority Cultures and Social Media: Magnifying Garifuna

This paper looks at social media use by the Garifuna people. It explores how they are using social media to create a supraterritorial cyberscape. Despite the claim that global media is marginalising minority cultures and causing global homogenisation, this research found that newer forms of social media are in fact creating virtual cultural cyberscapes that are extending minority cultures. The Garifuna cultural response to social media can be demonstrative of the positive impact of social media minority perspectives. The larger implication, though, is that traditional geographical models of cultural space are becoming obsolete. In this research, a total of 60 Garifuna in locations all across the United States and Honduras were selected for participation. Their access to and use of media were examined.
