The Library as Publisher

This article describes a half-day preconference that focused on the library as publisher. It examined how the movement from print to online publication has impacted the roles of libraries and their ability to take on new roles as publishers. The session explored the benefits of libraries becoming publishers, and discussed Open Access, what it is and is not and its importance to libraries and scholarly communication. A detailed case study of the publishing operations of the University Library System at the University of Pittsburgh was presented as an example of a successful library publishing program. The session provided an opportunity for participants to discover ways that libraries can be involved in publishing.     

我国券商盈利模式特征分析与风险防范

国内券商的主要利润来源主要集中于传统的四大块业务:经纪业务、承销业务、资产管理业务以及自营业务。这些传统业务最大的特点就是与市场状况高度相关,受市场的波动影响极大,券商只能被动地去接受市场,造成券商盈利处于极大的市场系统风险之中。探索新的盈利模式、改进传统业务对市场高度依赖的盈利模式、拓展业务范围、开展并购咨询业务、实施有效的成本管理、开展外围技术系统业务外包是我国券商防范风险的重要对策。

The Market for Picasso Prints: A Hybrid Model Approach

Two basic approaches have been used by the literature focusing on the return to holding artistic works: the hedonic price model and the repeat-sales model. This paper provides a procedure for jointly estimating the two models in a way that take advantages of the unique information contained in each. A semiannual price index for Picasso prints is estimated by using a model derived from the basic framework of the hybrid models. The empirical results suggest that the hybrid model provides the most precisely estimated price index by reducing the level of price volatility.JEL Classification: C5, Z1p     

Appropriate intellectual property protection and economic growth in countries at different levels of development

This paper examines how the role of patents and utility models in innovation and economic growth varies by level of economic development. Using a panel dataset of over 70 countries, we find that patent protection is an important determinant of innovation and that patentable innovations contribute to economic growth in developed countries, but not in developing. Instead, in developing economies, a minor form of intellectual property rights (IPRs) - namely utility models - is conducive to innovation and growth, controlling for other factors. Using Korean firm level data as a case study, we find that utility model innovations contribute to firm performance when firms are technologically lagging and that those minor innovations can be a learning device and thus a stepping stone for developing more patentable inventions later on. Upon reaching higher levels of technological capabilities, firms become more reliant upon patents and less on utility models. Thus the lesson here is that patent protection enhances innovation and economic growth in countries where the capacity to conduct innovative research exists. Where this capacity is weaker, a system that provides incentives to conduct minor, incremental inventions is more conducive to growth. The significance of this paper is to emphasize the importance not just of the strength of IPRs but of the appropriate type of IPRs for economic development.

战略性新兴产业的发展与形成模式研究

战略性新兴产业是处于产业初期,对本国、本地区有重大、长远影响,能够带动本国、本地区经济发展的新兴产业。它具有指向性、外部性、创新性、风险性、地域性的特点。新兴产业的发展有四种类型,它的发展既艰难又具有风险。多数企业是从高新技术嫁接、传统产业裂变、高新技术与传统产业融合中走上新兴产业的道路,但多数企业中途夭折,难再形成产业。因此要注重其特性,加强政策的引导与扶持,努力形成具有本国、本地区特色的战略性新兴产业。     

高校科研团队核心能力构建研究——以团队心智模型为中介变量

基于华南地区131个高校科研团队的调查数据,以团队心智模型为中介变量,探讨了团队过程对团队核心能力构建的影响机制。研究表明:团队过程对团队心智模型的一致性与准确性均有直接正向影响,并通过一致性与准确性对团队核心能力有间接正向影响;团队心智模型准确性对一致性有直接正向影响,并通过一致性对团队核心能力有间接正向影响;而团队过程与团队心智模型准确性对团队核心能力的直接影响效应均不显著。最后,结合理论与实践经验对实证结果进行分析,并指出管理启示与研究局限。
