Download or read book China s Governance written by Peijie Wang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book elucidates fundamental governance features and issues in contemporary China. While especially focusing on principal governance areas, it offers comprehensive coverage, capturing the dynamics of governance across vertical and horizontal connexions. The book is succinctly written and systematically addresses essential governance aspects that to date have only been dealt with separately and sporadically: state governance, the executive branch and administration, organization of production and approaches to production, and governance conventions and protocols. Further, it examines the evolution of governance practice in terms of both political and legal superstructure and economic base/infrastructure. Adopting a purely analytical approach and making no value judgments on the country’s social institutions and political systems, the book offers a vital resource to help readers grasp the complexities of governance in China.
Download or read book The Maverick Firm in Duopoly Markets written by John Thurow and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Symmetry in the size of rivals tends to promote tacit cooperation. Asymmetry discourages cooperation. Hence, as the Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) for two firms moves from 5000 to a greater value or as asymmetry in a duopoly market increases, there may be less cooperation in the market. It is commonly believed that the cause of greater competition with a higher HHI is the unwillingness of the small firm to cooperate. The small firm is a maverick in the duopoly game. Against this perspective, the Folk Theorem is used to demonstrate that as the market share of a firm increases from 50% the larger firm should be less willing to cooperate and the smaller firm should be more willing to tacitly collude. There is no small maverick firm according to the Folk Theorem. We use experimental markets to study the intensity of rivalry between two firms as relative market shares change. Subjects as duopolists make quantity choices from the normal form of a two-player game. The game mimics an infinitely repeated series of choices. Payoffs are profits. In three sessions duopolists in six markets each have (1) a fifty percent share of the market, (2) either a sixty percent or forty percent share, or (3) either an eighty percent or twenty percent share. Our data show that asymmetry generally promotes increasingly intense rivalry between players. This observation holds true even when the small firm has only a 20% share of the market. Asymmetry is conceptually imposed by taking business away from one firm, giving it a declining market share. In the market structure with 60% and 40% relative shares, rivalry is so intense that total sales increase relative to the larger, symmetric market structure.
Download or read book Switching Channels written by Richard E. Caves and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-15 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Media critics invariably disparage the quality of programming produced by the U.S. television industry. But why the industry produces what it does is a question largely unasked. It is this question, at the crux of American popular culture, that Switching Channels explores. In the past twenty-five years, the expansion of cable and satellite systems has transformed television. Richard Caves examines the economics of this phenomenon--and the nature and logic of the broadcast networks' response to the incursion of cable TV, especially the shift to inexpensive unscripted game and "reality" shows and "news" magazines. An explanation of these changes, Caves argues, requires an understanding of two very different sectors: the "creative industry," which produces programs; and the commercial channels, which bring them to viewers. His book shows how distributors' judgment of profitability determines the quality and character of the programs the creative industry produces. This determination, writes Caves, depends on the number and types of viewers that various programs can attract and advertisers' willingness to pay for their attention, as well as the organization of the networks that package programs, the distributors that transmit them, and the deals these parties strike with one another.
Download or read book Grey Systems written by Sifeng Liu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to inherent limitations in human sensing organs, most data collected for various purposes contain uncertainties. Even at the rare occasions when accurate data are available, the truthful predictions derived on the data tend to create chaotic consequences. So, to effectively process and make sense out of available data, we need methods to deal with uncertainty inherently existing inside the data. The intent of this monograph is to explore the fundamental theory, methods, and techniques of practical application of grey systems theory, initiated by Professor Deng Julong in 1982. This volume presents most of the recent advances of the theory accomplished by scholars from around the world. From studying this book, the reader will not only acquire an overall knowledge of this new theory but also be able to follow the most current research activities. All examples presented are based on practical applications of the theory when urgent real-life problems had to be addressed. Last but not the least, this book concludes with three appendices. The first one compares grey systems theory and interval analysis while revealing the fact that interval analysis is a part of grey mathematics. The second appendix presents an array of different approaches of studying uncertainties. And, the last appendix shows how uncertainties appear using general systems approach.

Download or read book Global Currents written by Tasha G Oren and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2004-09-02 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhetoric about media technology tends to fall into two extreme categories: unequivocal celebration or blanket condemnation. This is particularly true in debate over the clash of values when first world media infiltrate third world audiences. Bringing together the best new work on contemporary media practices, technologies, and policies, the essayists in Global Currents argue that neither of these extreme views accurately represents the role of media technology today. New ways of thinking about film, television, music, and the internet demonstrate that it is not only media technologies that affect the cultures into which they are introduced—it is just as likely that the receiving culture will change the media. Topics covered in the volume include copyright law and surveillance technology, cyber activism in the African Diaspora, transnational monopolies and local television industries, the marketing and consumption of “global music,” “click politics” and the war on Afghanistan, the techno-politics of distance education, artificial intelligence and global legal institutions, and traveling and “squatting” in digital space. Balanced between major theoretical positions and original field research, the selections address the political and cultural meanings that surround and configure new technologies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Competitive Advertising and Pricing in Duopolies: The Implications of Relevant Set-Response Analysis The key question in this section is whether a model of rational utility maximization implies that consumers evaluate only a small number of the available brands. The basic idea is that consumers balance evaluation cost with potential gains from further evaluation. This idea is not new. It is related to search theories in Gould Nelson and Schmalensee It is consistent with the behavioral science observation that consumers use heuristics to eliminate alternatives (tversky and Kahneman 1974. Shugan 1980. And Bettman and it is used prescriptively to select advertising copy (gross Our contribution is to formalize the idea in the context of relevant sets and to compare its predictions to data.

Download or read book Airline Economics written by Giovanni Alberto Tabacco and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an original empirical investigation of the market structure of airline city pair markets, shedding new light on the workings of competitive processes between firms. Examining a cross-section of US airline city pairs, Tabacco proposes for the first time that the industry can be understood as a natural oligopoly, each airline market being dominated by one to three airline carriers regardless of market size. The author questions the extent to which airlines deliberately prevent head-to-head competition within city pair markets, and draws intriguing conclusions about competitive forces from the observed market structure. Uncovering some of the main corporate strategies of the airline industry, the book is of immediate relevance to industry managers and practitioners, as well as academic economists.
Download or read book Media Diversity written by Mara Einstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-12 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Media Diversity: Economics, Ownership, and the FCC provides a detailed analysis of the regulation of diversity and its impact on the structure and practices within the broadcast television industry. As deregulation is quickly changing the media landscape, this volume puts the changing structure of the industry into perspective through the use of an insider's point of view to examine how policy and programming get made. Author Mara Einstein blends her industry experience and academic expertise to examine diversity as a media policy, suggesting that it has been ineffective and is potentially outdated, as study after study has found diversity regulations to be wanting. In addition to reviewing diversity research on the impact of minority ownership, regulation of cable and DBS, duopolies, ownership of multiple networks and cross ownership of media on program content, Einstein considers the financial interest and syndication rules as a case study, due to their profound effects on the structure of the television industry. She also poses questions from an economic perspective on why the FCC regulates structure rather than content. Through the presentation of her research results, she argues persuasively that the consolidation of the media industry does not affect the diversity of entertainment programming, a conclusion with broad ramifications for all media and for future research about media monopolies. This volume serves as a defining work in its examination of the intersection of regulation and economics with media content. It is appropriate as a supplemental text in courses on communication policy, broadcast economic and media management, broadcast programming, political economy of the mass media, and media criticism at the advanced and graduate level. It is also likely to interest broadcast professionals, media policymakers, communication lawyers, and academics. It is a must-read for all who are interested in the media monopoly debate.
