The role of interactional expertise in interpreting: the case of technology transfer in the steel industry

I analyse the case of three Japanese-Portuguese interpreters who have given support to technology transfer from a steel company in Japan to one in Brazil for more than thirty years. Their job requires them to be ‘interactional experts’ in steel-making. The Japanese–Portuguese interpreters are immersed in more than the language of steel-making as their job involves a great deal of ‘physical contiguity’ with steel-making practice. Physical contiguity undoubtedly makes the acquisition of interactional expertise easier. This draws attention to the lack of empirical work on the exact way that the physical and the linguistic interact in the acquisition of interactional expertise, or any other kind of expertise.     

An exploratory analysis of portfolio managers' probabilistic forecasts of stock prices

This study reports the results of an experiment that examines (1) the effects of forecast horizon on the performance of probability forecasters, and (2) the alleged existence of an inverse expertise effect, i.e., an inverse relationship between expertise and probabilistic forecasting performance. Portfolio managers are used as forecasters with substantive expertise. Performance of this ‘expert’ group is compared to the performance of a ‘semi-expert’ group composed of other banking professionals trained in portfolio management. It is found that while both groups attain their best discrimination performances in the four-week forecast horizon, they show their worst calibration and skill performances in the 12-week forecast horizon. Also, while experts perform better in all performance measures for the one-week horizon, semi-experts achieve better calibration for the four-week horizon. It is concluded that these results may signal the existence of an inverse expertise effect that is contingent on the selected forecast horizon.

可再生能源投资决策行为影响因素实证分析与政策启示

缺乏对投资决策过程中投资者行为影响因素的考量是当前许多政策未取得理想效果的主要原因。基于行为决策理论,通过构建可再生能源投资决策行为分析概念模型,定性描述可再生能源投资决策行为影响因素之间的因果关系。采用定量和定性相结合的方法对模型中的变量进行测量与多元回归分析。研究结果表明投资者的先验信念、政策偏好和技术风险态度对投资决策有显著影响,并且投资组合中可再生能源的份额(即投资者的决策结果)与其投资组合的业绩正相关。据此,提出了该研究结果对提高可再生能源投资政策有效性的政策启示。     

股权投资差额例证分析——兼谈股权投资差额的正确计算

长期股权投资差额是指长期投资在采用权益法核算时,投资成本与应享有被投资单位所有者权益份额的差额。本文采用例证方法分析长期投资股权投资差额产生的原因,提出了对其进行正确计算的方法及过程。     

基于模糊聚类技术的股票投资价值评价指标选择

从实证角度为价值投资理论在中国股市的应用建立了股票投资价值评价指标集.首先深入分析股票投资价值的诸多影响因素,然后以全部上市公司为样本,采用模糊聚类技术对股票投资价值的各影响因素进行聚类,并依据相关指数对同类指标进行筛选,最终得到一个科学的和有操作性的股票投资价值评价指标集.该股票投资价值评价指标集基本涵盖了股票投资价值所包含的有效信息,因此可以用多维数组来刻画一支股票的价值信息,从而为人工智能方法在股票价值投资方面的应用提供了实证依据.     

Expertise revisited,Part I—Interactional expertise

In Part I of this two part paper we try to set out the ‘essence’ of the notion of interactional expertise by starting with its origins. In Part II we will look at the notion of contributory expertise. The exercise has been triggered by recent discussion of these concepts in this journal by Plaisance and Kennedy and by Goddiksen.
