可折叠集装箱接驳运输问题的建模与优化

对一类带时间窗的可折叠箱接驳运输问题进行了研究,其中使用可折叠箱在堆场与客户之间集散货物,一辆集卡可装载一个满箱或多个空箱,目标为集卡总工作时间的最小化.借鉴确定的活动在顶点上的图的思想,将该问题分解为满箱子问题和空箱子问题,其中满箱子问题类似于带时间窗的多旅行商问题,空箱子问题因客户的货物量可为负值而显著区别于车辆路径问题,且两个子问题之间存在访问时间耦合等关联.进而建立了问题的数学描述,设计了问题的主动禁忌搜索(reactive tabu search,RTS)求解算法,并基于随机生成的大量算例验证了算法的有效性.结果表明,相比于使用CPLEX等优化软件,RTS算法可以在更短的时间内求得问题的更优解;相比于使用标准箱的情形,使用可折叠箱可节省约13%的接驳成本.     

Methods for backcasting,nowcasting and forecasting using factor‐MIDAS: With an application to Korean GDP

We utilize mixed‐frequency factor‐MIDAS models for the purpose of carrying out backcasting, nowcasting, and forecasting experiments using real‐time data. We also introduce a new real‐time Korean GDP dataset, which is the focus of our experiments. The methodology that we utilize involves first estimating common latent factors (i.e., diffusion indices) from 190 monthly macroeconomic and financial series using various estimation strategies. These factors are then included, along with standard variables measured at multiple different frequencies, in various factor‐MIDAS prediction models. Our key empirical findings as follows. (i) When using real‐time data, factor‐MIDAS prediction models outperform various linear benchmark models. Interestingly, the “MSFE‐best” MIDAS models contain no autoregressive (AR) lag terms when backcasting and nowcasting. AR terms only begin to play a role in “true” forecasting contexts. (ii) Models that utilize only one or two factors are “MSFE‐best” at all forecasting horizons, but not at any backcasting and nowcasting horizons. In these latter contexts, much more heavily parametrized models with many factors are preferred. (iii) Real‐time data are crucial for forecasting Korean gross domestic product, and the use of “first available” versus “most recent” data “strongly” affects model selection and performance. (iv) Recursively estimated models are almost always “MSFE‐best,” and models estimated using autoregressive interpolation dominate those estimated using other interpolation methods. (v) Factors estimated using recursive principal component estimation methods have more predictive content than those estimated using a variety of other (more sophisticated) approaches. This result is particularly prevalent for our “MSFE‐best” factor‐MIDAS models, across virtually all forecast horizons, estimation schemes, and data vintages that are analyzed.     

机构投资者持股持续性对我国上市公司业绩及风险的影响研究

通过构建机构持股持续性指标体系,从四个维度全面研究机构持股持续性对上市公司业绩及风险的影响.整体来看,机构持股比例和持股稳定性的提升显著提高了公司业绩并降低了风险,反之则相反;机构持股期限与公司业绩仅呈很弱的显著负相关,导致这一异象的原因是:机构持股期限仅是一种表象,其背后隐含的是机构频繁换股的"散户化"行为及其不同的利益诉求带来了摩擦,加剧了公司经营决策和管理的不确定性,使公司业绩下降.分组研究显示:机构持股对公司业绩及风险的影响存在异质性;机构投资者只有秉持长期价值投资才利于公司业绩的提升,而以短期投机为目的的机构投资者对公司发展有害无益;机构持股稳定性越高,越有利于降低公司业绩风险;在机构持股比例高且持股期限长的公司中,机构持股比例与期限的协同效应越强,对公司业绩的改善作用越大,反之越小;在机构低比例持股的公司中,机构持股稳定性的提升对降低公司业绩风险的作用大于机构高比例持股的公司中对应的作用.     

春节模型的效应期识别方法研究

春节模型的参数设定目前更多依赖于研究者的主观判断.为解决这一问题,本文首先介绍了春节因素调整的一般过程以及模型设定和检验的相关细节.在此基础上,提出一种基于"循环遍历"方式和序贯检验方法来自动选择春节模型的最优参数组合的新思路.并以社会消费品零售总额月度序列的春节模型的最优效应期长度识别为例,检验该方法的可行性和有效性.实证结果显示,基于季节峰值、离群值点、Q统计量、AICC值和BIC值等统计量的序贯检验能够有效识别出春节模型的最优效应期长度,进而改善春节模型的季节调整性能.     

中国和美国信贷冲击跨境溢出效应的比较研究

本文构建了基于符号约束识别的GVAR模型,并用以考察中国和美国的信贷市场冲击对全球41个国家的不同溢出效应.研究结果表明,中国紧缩性信贷市场冲击对本国实体经济有显著的负效应,但仅限于短中期;而美国信贷冲击对本国乃至全球经济都具有相当大且持久的负影响.中国信贷冲击的跨国效应较小,且主要通过贸易渠道.中国信贷市场的本国冲击能解释中国产出近10%的波动,但无论是本国效应还是跨境传导,总需求冲击仍是驱动中国经济周期波动的最主要力量.

商业模式创新理论模型构建研究

此研究的开展基于以下背景：在新的一波转型浪潮中，创新商业模式的必要性和迫切性与日俱增，虽然对商业模式创新过程的研究在逐年增加，但多聚焦于成功企业商业模式创新的变革阶段或成功创业者的高阶战略认知，缺乏对商业模式创新过程的进一步抽象和总结，以致无法回答企业“如何进行商业模式创新”的问题。此研究认为，以“活动系统”为中心的商业模式创新理论模型——光谱模型，确定了商业模式创新的逻辑起点和逻辑终点，融合了从整体上指导企业进行商业模式创新的价值过程和从认知视角指导活动开展的商业模式创新源过程，呈现出商业模式创新过程中主体之间的动态交互和子过程的动态迭代，旨在更直观地回答企业“如何进行商业模式创新”。     

Dynamic Model Averaging and CPI Inflation Forecasts: A Comparison between the Euro Area and the United States

The paper forecasts consumer price inflation in the euro area (EA) and in the USA between 1980:Q1 and 2012:Q4 based on a large set of predictors, with dynamic model averaging (DMA) and dynamic model selection (DMS). DMA/DMS allows not solely for coefficients to change over time, but also for changes in the entire forecasting model over time. DMA/DMS provides on average the best inflation forecasts with regard to alternative approaches (such as the random walk). DMS outperforms DMA. These results are robust for different sample periods and for various forecast horizons. The paper highlights common features between the USA and the EA. First, two groups of predictors forecast inflation: temporary fundamentals that have a frequent impact on inflation but only for short time periods; and persistent fundamentals whose switches are less frequent over time. Second, the importance of some variables (particularly international food commodity prices, house prices and oil prices) as predictors for consumer price index inflation increases when such variables experience large shocks. The paper also shows that significant differences prevail in the forecasting models between the USA and the EA. Such differences can be explained by the structure of these respective economies.
