Description
Health is among the most basic needs of the people and driving force of social and economic development. The health nutrition & wellness industry is gradually becoming a global sunrise industry . However, the industry is faced many problems and challenges including weaknesses in the industry structure, fragmentations of supply chain, low
efficiency in resources allocation, and lacking in quality on personnel training. To achieve core competitiveness and value creation, it is important that the health nutrition & wellness industry must meet the needs of Chinese market and its customers with a customer centric perspective to design a firm’s organization strucrture and management processes. This thesis is based on an analysis of the competitive landscape faced by the nutrition & wellness industry as exemplified by By-Health.Ltd. The investigation begins with an analysis and synthsis of the common industry practices on sales & distribution channels for their underlying similarities and differences in product strategies, branding strategies, and agency models on incentive design and profit sharing mechanisms. Through an empirical survey, this thesis also investigate customer’s demand for nutritious and healthy products. The results through factor analysis reveal that such demands are driven by individual factor, product factor, enterprise factor and environmental factor. The study concludes with a proposed framework to link customer value through three innovative designs in sales and distribution: community marketing model, sharing marketing model and Internet factory marketing model.

Description本文选取当前在学界和业界关注度较高的“新三板”企业作为研究对象，从融资效率和融资偏好角度实证了新三板企业当前的运行状况，补充了资本结构和融资效率的研究文献。利用二元选择回归以及分位数回归方法，探究了内部融资、债务融资以及权益融资偏好的影响因素。本文发现：1）对于内部融资，企业资产负债率越低、经营能力越强、盈利能力越好、抵押品越少以及公司成长性高的企业更倾向于使用内部融资，资产负债率对内部融资的负面影响边际增大；2）对于债务融资，资产负债率越低、盈利能力越好、经营能力越强、抵押品越多、公司成长性高的企业更倾向于使用债务融资；3）对于权益融资，盈利能力较差、经营能力较弱的企业更倾向于使用权益融资，而资本结构以及公司成长性对权益融资没有影响。分位数回归也发现，盈利能力、现金状况、总资产周转率、资产流动性、非债务税盾、民营企业以及公司成长性等变量对权益融资的影响较为稳定，提示公司的特征变量对权益融资并没有明显的主导作用。在融资效率上，本文也发现：1）于2012年挂牌新三板的企业整体融资效率不高，DEA融资效率为有效的企业占比仅为10%左右；但融资效率在逐年持续改善，表现出一个较好的发展势头。并且，对于做市转让的企业来说，2014年由协议转让改为做市转让以后，融资相对有效的企业数量增长明显快于协议转让企业，表明采用做市转让的企业融资效率优于采用协议转让的企业。2）市场整体融资规模并未达到挂牌企业的需求，导致一半以上企业尚未达到最优的生产经营状态，仍需要资金来增加生产资料的投入，以扩大生产规模获取规模收益。对于做市转让的企业来说，在2014年由协议转让改为做市转让以后，规模报酬递增的企业数量占比下降更快，表明做市转让制度要比协议转让制度从融资效率角度更能满足新三板企业的融资需求。

Description当前各个城市都在努力推动“互联网+政务”的公共服务新模式，打造政府公共服务平台，提供“一站式”的服务资源，以民众需求为中心，解决民众信息查询、政府办事预约、政策咨询等公共活动的需要。可以看出，政务平台给民众的生活带来极大的便利，是当前各地政府响应中央建立“智慧城市”“数字中国”的重要举措。
本课题发现当前的政务平台逐步引入PPP模式，借助社会资源开发政务平台。但是，PPP模式是否有利于政务平台的建设，受到哪些因素的制约，如何更好地利用PPP模式进行开发工作，这些问题在现前的研究中没有得到很好地探索。带着这些问题，本课题对PPP模式在政务平台建设中的作用进行了深入剖析。主要研究内容如下：
在第一部分中，本课题政府公共服务和政务相关理论进行了全面整理，发现政务平台要想走出一条健康发展之路，需要借助社会资源进行市场化，而PPP模式符合当前政务平台建设的需要。本文对PPP模式在国内外电子政务的应用进行了分析，提出了本文的研究主题。
在第二部分中，本文对华东地区50座城市的政务平台进行了调研，对常见问题进行了整理，发现PPP模式已经广泛应用于政务平台建设中，且主要有四种模式，本文对50座城市的政务平台建设情况进行了数据采集，并进行了深入分析。
在第三部分中，结合调研现状和文献研究成果，提出了PPP模式影响政务平台建设的相关假设，并构建了计量模型。通过短面板分析验证假设，并进行了Robust分析，证实结论的普适性。
在第四部分中，本文分析了研究结果，认为政务平台采用PPP模式能够有效促进政务平台的建设水平，提高用户满意度；并且PPP模式与合作企业的估摸、信息的透明程度和平台的交互能力存在显著的交互作用，共同影响用户对政务平台的评价。政府引入PPP模式，充分对接可利用资源，并加强盈利控制，对当前政务平台的建设是具有积极意义的。

Description中国商品期货市场经历30年发展，已初备协调资源分配、对冲经营风险的功能。但受产业自身和期货市场发展的制约，各期货品种市场有效性参差不齐。随着我国经济从增量阶段过渡到存量阶段，期货作为企业的价格管理和风险控制工具的重要性日益凸显，因此研究我国商品期货市场有效性具有非常好的现实意义。
本文开创性的从期货的基本功能——资源配置的角度出发，提出有效市场是指其期货价格能够对本行业社会资源起到合理的调配作用的市场。在内容安排上，本文首先总结了现有国际成熟期货品种的特点并找出能够反映期货对资源配置能力的四个指标假说，分别为期现回归性、利润波动性、库存波动性以及现金流变化，然后通过数学模型证明指标数据和品种成熟度的关联，最后应用该套指标对我国商品市场有效性进行检验。数学方法上，本文先采用Bai-Perron内生多重结构突变模型对时间序列进行突变点检验，然后对断点时间序列分别进行多元回归，并在剔除季节性和周期性后，通过平稳性检验、ARCH效应检验结果来确定相应的Garch模型，并用Garch模型来描述时间序列的波动性。
通过数学验证，我们认为期现回归性、利润波动性、库存波动性以及现金流变化这四个指标可以作为反映期货成熟度的检验指标，用该套方法对国内部分活跃品种检验后发现大连豆粕期货已经具备成熟品种的特征，本文认为豆粕期货市场是有效的；PTA、玉米淀粉期货的四个检验指标在近年来表现出时间序列优化的特点，但因时间较短尚不稳定，可以认为是接近成熟的品种；而螺纹钢和铝期货在多数指标上表现不佳，表明他们对社会资源配置能力较差，因此本文认为螺纹钢和铝期货市场是活跃但非有效的。通过进一步分析，本文认为品种的期现回归性差是制约其资源配置能力发挥的关键因素，而交易标的不明确、
仓单制作难度大、产业参与度低以及期货设计中的其他限制因素又是导致期现回归性差的重要原因。

Description中国律师制度自“文化大革命”结束后恢复至今，已有近四十年。中国律师行业伴随着中国改革开放的进程，得到了飞速的发展，当然，同时也面临着诸多的问题。重要的问题之一便是，中国律师事务所采用“加盟制合伙人”模式和采用“权益制合伙人”模式之争。本文试图从回顾企业边界的三大理论出发，提出“加盟制合伙人”模式和 “权益制合伙人”模式与合伙人律师的业务专业化程度、业务复杂化程度以及大客户和律师事务所规模关系的四个假设，通过实证分析的方式，试图以企业边界三大理论解释前述四个假设中的关系，并以此期望对律师行业的发展有所启发。

Description中国证券市场一直存在着双重上市公司A、H股价差异现象，这一“同股同权不同价”的现象，长期以来都是国内外学者热议的课题之一。
本文在系统性整理前人研究成果基础上，首先对造成A、H股价差效应的内在逻辑进行了系统梳理，提炼出影响双重上市公司A、H股价格差异的9个潜在因素：信息不对称、需求差异、流动性差异、投机性差异、风险差异、公司治理结构、利率差异、市场强弱差异、汇率预期。其次，本文为各潜在影响因素构建了新的代理变量，建立面板数据模型，从全市场和行业两大视角做了实证分析，验证了影响双重上市公司A、H股价格差异的可能因素，且实证结果均通过了平稳性检验。实证结果显示：全市场视角下，仅公司治理结构和市场强弱差异对A、H价格差异的影响不显著。行业视角下，对于金融行业的双重上市公司而言，影响其A、H股价格差异的因素包括：需求差异、流动性差异、风险差异、市场强弱差异、利率差异；信息不对称、投机性差异、公司治理结构、汇率预期不具有显著影响。而对于非金融行业的双重上市公司而言，影响其A、H股价格差异的因素包括：信息不对称、需求差异、流动性差异、风险差异、投机性差异、市场强弱差异、利率差异、汇率预期；公司治理结构则不是显著的影响因素。
本文在实证分析所得结论的基础上，考虑到当前A、H股市场的现状，提出了加强资本市场双向开放、大力发展以基金为代表的机构投资者、坚定推行股票发行注册制改革、推动金融创新、丰富投资工具等建议。这一研究结果对于推动我国资本市场进一步完善，具有重要的理论与现实意义。

Description
University graduates play a significant role in the labor market of China. Universities continuously supply senior talents and provide a strong guarantee to the country’s development. However, with the enlargement of the enrollment scale, more and more graduates become unemployed or forced to be employed. Most literatures mainly focus on the unemployed phenomenon or reasons, but had neglected the relationship among the employment, universities and the labor market. This assay is trying to using the supply and demand theory of classical economics to analyze the training direction and model of university from the perspective of the supply and demand of labor market. This assay proposes that universities have to integrate with the demand of the labor market so that to cultivate the talents to meet the social needs.
Firstly, the essay analyzes the relationship between the universities education and the supply and demand labor market by using the view of labor economics, and shows the mainly phenomenon and features of supply-demand imbalance. And then, the writer considered that universities talent cultivation development of China has gone through “absolute shortage”, “relative shortage” and “structural unbalanced” three stages. Thirdly, the survey results confirmed that the talent cultivation in universities does not match the demand of the labor market. On one other hand, over educated is a common phenomenon in the academic education. On the other hand, the graduates are lack of education skills training. Fourthly, the essay analyzes the reasons which lead to the unbalance. The unbalance is not only affected by the macro factors, but also by the micro factors. Fifthly, build up the interaction system model “UPT-LM” for the universities talent cultivation and the labor market, and separately building up the macro interaction system and the micro interaction system to analyze the balance of supply and demand. Based on this, it should strengthen the interaction on the feedback mechanism. At last, strengthening the connection of universities talent cultivation and labor market is a systematic program which needs the corporation from the government, the universities and the labor market.

Description
This paper quantitatively analyses the relation between the return of private
seasoned equity offerings and variables of market and firm characteristics in China Ashare
market. A multiple-factor linear regression model is constructed to estimate this
relation and the result canhelp investors to determine the future return of private
placement stocks.
In this paper, I first review past theories about private placement stocks, including how
the large shareholder participation, the discount of private offerings, the firm
characteristics, and the investment on firm value will affect the return of private
offerings.
According to the past literature, I propose four main factors that may affect the
return of private placement. They are the large shareholders participation in private
placement; the discount that private placement could offer; the characteristics of the
companies that offer a private placement and the intrinsic value of such companies. I
adopt statistic and correlational analysis to test the impact of each factor. Then,
according to this single-factor analysis, I set up a multiple-factor linear regression model
on private seasoned equity offerings return in Chapter Four.
In the last two chapters, I apply this quantitative model to other fields. I use this
model to testify current financial products of private placement and develop investmen
strategies on stocks with private seasoned equity offerings in secondary market. My
quantitative strategy is useful according to the result of setback test.
