The Effect of Tick Size on the Stock Prices Volatility KONG Ai-guo, HUNAG Jian-bing, HU Wei 2003, (5):  1-7.  Abstract ( 2269 )   PDF (2348KB) ( 2303 )   Save The discreteness of observed stock prices in Shanghai stock market in 2001 is studied in this paper.The results show that the discreteness enhanced the volatility of stock prices.For low price stocks,the"compass rose"patterns of plotting stock returns against themselves with one time period’s lag indicates the auto-correlation of the stock returns.Some simulations show that the discreteness of stock prices makes the variance,skewness,and kurtosis of stock returns deviate their"true"values,and the effects of discreteness on low price stocks are stronger than on high price stocks.At the end of this paper,policy suggestions are proposed concerning the minimum price variation rule for Chinese security market.

An Analysis of Firm’s Tax Shields on Uncertainty Condition JING Zhi-yong, OUYANG Ling-nan 2003, (5):  8-11.  Abstract ( 2632 )   PDF (1513KB) ( 2246 )   Save On the assumption that EBIT(earnings before interest and tax)is a stochastic variable,whose probability density submits to even distribution,based on the theory of static trade-off,we built models on the relationships among debt and tax shields and the cost of bankruptcy.Finally,in a same debt scope we synthesized tax shields and the cost of bankruptcy into models and analyzed net tax shields and drew a conclusion that there existed optimal debt and thus optimal capital structure,given a group of firm’s parameters.

DEA-Based Closed-End Fund Performance Evaluation LUO Hong-lang, WANG Huan-chen, TIAN Zhong-jia 2003, (5):  20-25.  Abstract ( 2327 )   PDF (2303KB) ( 1996 )   Save Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA)is a system analysis methodology which is widely used to evaluate relative performance.This paper introduces a multiple inputs-single output DEA model,which considers output as fund returns and inputs as management expenses,transaction cost and standard deviation,to evaluate securities investment fund performance.Subsequently,the performance in 2000,2001,and 2000～2001 of twenty closed-end funds that have listed before 2000 is evaluated.The main results are:Anshun,Pufeng,Xinghe and Jinxing are relatively efficient, Yuyang and Yulong are relatively inefficient in all evaluation periods,and their relative performance all shows short-term persistence;transaction costs per unit and fund returns ratio(not management expenses per unit and standard deviation)are main factors which affect relative performance (not absolute performance) of closed-end fund,especially for fund returns ratio.

A Rough Sets Method for Modifying Spares Demand of Military Aircraft HE Ya-qun, HU Shou-song 2003, (5):  42-45.  Abstract ( 2280 )   PDF (1198KB) ( 1990 )   Save In the paper,a modified method for spares demand of military aircraft based on rough sets theory is proposed to the effect of non-quantitative factors on the spares demand of military aircraft.Considering the multi-value properties of non-quantitative factors,original rough sets theory with indiscernibility relation is replaced by the extended rough sets theory with tolerant relation.By approximation space under tolerant relation,the decision rules are acquired,and then the modified coefficients are obtained through the decision rules.Finally,the obtained process of modified coefficients is illuminated by an example of tyre spares.

The Similarity and Measuring Model of Fractal Supply Chain NI Shen-bing, CHEN Jun-fang, ZHANG Li-na 2003, (5):  46-52.  Abstract ( 2267 )   PDF (1396KB) ( 1552 )   Save Supply Chain Management(SCM)was developed by companies in more severe competitive environment to improve their core competence.The traditional stable supply chain models evolved to dynamic supply chain models with more agility due to ever changing market demand and operational environment.But the dynamic supply chain sometimes had problems such as long integration period,unbalanced operation and so on induced by excessive focus on agility.In order to balance supply chain’s agility and stability,this paper presented reconfigurable Fractal Supply Chain with self-similarity,self-organization and self-optimization based upon fractal theory.The construction and operation model was presented in this paper.The similarity of those supply chain was studied particularly with fractal method,a mathematical model based upon fractal method to analyse similarity was also presented in this paper.

Intrinsic Motivation and Extrinsic Incentive PU Yong-jian, ZHAO Guo-qiang 2003, (5):  95-100.  Abstract ( 2840 )   PDF (1854KB) ( 4527 )   Save This paper discussed the relationship between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic incentive,confirmed their status in incentive mechanism design.By modeling analysis,we found that intrinsic motivation can exert significant incentive effect to the agent’s behavior, which can improve the agent’s effort.Especially,when the individual’s intrinsic motivation boosts,it can be the substitution of extrinsic incentive,intrinsic motivation is the source of effort and should be the core of incentive mechanism,and extrinsic incentive is the complement to intrinsic motivation.
