The farm produce logistics plays an important role in promoting the agricultural production and prosperity of the rural economy,so grasping the main factors influencing the development of farm produce logistics,is of important significance to accelerating the development of farm produce logistics. The values of identification coefficient in the grey relational analysis are taken based on the experience,so the accuracy of the results is affected. This article uses the improved fuzzy grey relational analysis to analyze the main factors influencing farm produce logistics. The results show that the number of storage companies has a great impact on the development of farm produce logistics,followed by the farm produce processing machinery capacity,rural transport infrastructure,farm produce market conditions and government financial support for agriculture,while the total number of Internet users in rural areas has an limited impact on the development of farm produce logistics.

Complex Pathways to Population Shrinkage:Case Study of Hegang City,China

With the transformation of China’s industry and demographic structure,urban shrinkage,especially the resource-based cities due to their single industrial structure,tend to emerge gradually.Using empirical and quantitative methods,this paper explores the evolution mechanism of urban shrinkage in Hegang,a resource-based city in China.Our findings suggest that there are many correlations or cyclic relationships among variables,which provide an empirical confirmation for the complexity of urban shrinkage process.The result shows there is a time delay of about four to five years between the mining industry and the changes of demographic profile,economic performance and built environment variables.The development of Hegang has formed a path dependence on resource-based industries.Furthermore,the time lags between demographic profile and economic performance variables are not obvious,and the real estate market has a certain sensitivity to perceive population loss and economic change.Besides,market led public service facilities are more sensitive to the changes of population outflow and economic recession than government led public service facilities.The study findings could offer insights for other resource-based cities in developing countries to employ on the economic development policies issues.

An evolutionary model of urban bus transport network based on B-space

In this paper, an evolutionary model of bus transport network in B-space is developed. It includes the effect of the overlapping ratio of new route on network performance and overcomes the disadvantage, i.e. lack of economic consideration, in the evolutionary bus transport network model in P-space proposed by Chen et al （2007）. The degree distribution functions are derived by using the mean-field method and the master equation method, separately. The relationship between the new stop ratio of a route, λ, and the error in exponential of degree distribution function from the mean-field method is developed as ASlope= λ/（1 -λ） ＋ ln（1-λ）. Finally, the bus transport networks of Hangzhou and Nanjing are simulated by using this model, and the results show that some characteristic index values of the simulated networks are closer to the empirical data than those from Chen＇s model.

From risk management to uncertainty management: a significant change in project management

Starting with the meanings of the terms “risk” and “uncertainty,””he paper compares uncertainty management with risk management in project management. We bring some doubt to the use of “risk” and “uncertainty” interchangeably in project management and deem their scope, methods, responses, monitoring and controlling should be different too. Illustrations are given covering terminology, description, and treatment from different perspectives of uncertainty management and risk management. Furthermore, the paper retains that project risk management (PRM) processes might be modified to facilitate an uncertainty management perspective, and we support that project uncertainty management (PUM) can enlarge its contribution to improving project management performance, which will result in a significant change in emphasis compared with most risk management.

Operational risk assessment of third-party payment platforms:a case study of China

Operational risk events have severely impacted the development of third-party payment(TPP)platforms,and have even led to a discussion on the operational risk capital charge settlement by relevant international regulators.However,prior studies have mostly focused on qualitative mechanism analysis,and have rarely examined quantitative risk assessment based on actual operational risk events.Therefore,this study attempts to assess the operational risk on TPP platforms in China by constructing a systematic framework incorporating database construction and risk modeling.First,the operational risk database that covers 202 events between Q1,2014,and Q2,2020 is constructed.Then,specific causes are clarified,and the characteristics are analyzed from both the trend and loss severity perspectives.Finally,the piecewise-defined severity distribution based-Loss Distribution Approach(PSD-LDA)with double truncation is utilized to assess the operational risk.Two main conclusions are drawn from the empirical analysis.First,legal risk and external fraud risk are the two main causes of operational risk.Second,the yearly Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall are 724.46 million yuan and 1081.98 million yuan under the 99.9%significance level,respectively.Our results are beneficial for both TPP platform operators and regulators in managing and controlling operational risk.

Preparation and Characteristics of Cu/Al_2O_3/MgF_2/Au Tunnel Junction

The fabrication process of Cu/Al2O3/MgF2/Au double-barrier metal/insulator/metal junction （DMIMJ） was introduced, and more stable light emission from this junction was successfully observed. The light emission physical mechanism of the junction was discussed. Results show that light emission spectrum of this structure locates at wavelength of 250-700 nm with two peaks at around 460 nm and 640 nm, which moves towards shorter wavelength region in comparison with that of the Al/Al2O3/Au junction. The light emission efficiency of this junction ranges from 0.7×10^-5-2.0×10^-5, which is 1 to 2 orders higher than that of the single-barrier Al/Al2O3/Au junction. The improved properties of this structure should be due to the electrons resonant tunneling effect in the double-barrier.

On multi-choice TU games arising from replica of economies

In this paper we derive a multi-choice TU game from r-replica of exchange economy with continuous, concave and monetary utility functions, and prove that the cores of the games converge to a subset of the set of Edgeworth equilibria of exchange economy as r approaches to infinity. We prove that the dominance core of each balanced multi-choice TU game, where each player has identical activity level r, coincides with the dominance core of its corresponding r-replica of exchange economy. We also give an extension of the concept of the cover of the game proposed by Shapley and Shubik （J Econ Theory 1： 9-25, 1969） to multi-choice TU games and derive some sufficient conditions for the nonemptyness of the core of multi-choice TU game by using the relationship among replica economies, multi-choice TU games and their covers.

Characteristics of Integrated Importance Measure for Whole Lifetime-Oriented System Performance Evaluation

Importance measures are being widely used to characterize the importance of component in systems.Focus on the integrated importance measure(IIM)of the whole lifetime measure based on the transition rates of component states.To describe the impact of each component in whole lifetime,the IIM is generalized in nonrepairable and repairable systems at first.Then,their formulas are computed in series and parallel systems.Finally,the characteristics of generalized IIM in typical series systems and parallel systems are analyzed.The results show that the generalized IIM of component can evaluate the expected effect of component state on the system performance in whole lifetime.

Dynamic Portfolio Choice under Time-Varying,Jumps,and Knight Uncertainty of Asset Return Process

By introducing a stochastic element to the double-jump diffusion framework to measure the Knight uncertainty of asset return process,the model of dynamic portfolio choice was built,which maximized the expected utility of terminal portfolio wealth.Through specifying the state function of uncertainty-aversion,it utilized the max-min method to derive the analytical solution of the model to study the effect of time-varying,jumps,and Knight uncertainty of asset return process on dynamic portfolio choice and their interactions.Results of comparative analysis show:the time-varying results in positive or negative intertemporal hedging demand of portfolio,which depends on the coefficient of investor's risk aversion and the correlation coefficient between return shift and volatility shift;the jumps in asset return overall reduce investor's demand for the risky asset,which can be enhanced or weakened by the jumps in volatility;due to the existing of Knight uncertainty,the investor avoids taking large position on risky asset,and improves portfolio's steady and immunity;the effects of the time-varying,jumps,and Knight uncertainty are interactive.

Symmetry breaking in the opinion dynamics of a multi-group project organization

A bounded confidence model of opinion dynamics in multi-group projects is presented in which each group＇s opinion evolution is driven by two types of forces：（i） the group＇s cohesive force which tends to restore the opinion back towards the initial status because of its company culture;and（ii） nonlinear coupling forces with other groups which attempt to bring opinions closer due to collaboration willingness.Bifurcation analysis for the case of a two-group project shows a cusp catastrophe phenomenon and three distinctive evolutionary regimes,i.e.,a deadlock regime,a convergence regime,and a bifurcation regime in opinion dynamics.The critical value of initial discord between the two groups is derived to discriminate which regime the opinion evolution belongs to.In the case of a three-group project with a symmetric social network,both bifurcation analysis and simulation results demonstrate that if each pair has a high initial discord,instead of symmetrically converging to consensus with the increase of coupling scale as expected by Gabbay＇s result（Physica A 378（2007） p.125 Fig.5）,project organization（PO） may be split into two distinct clusters because of the symmetry breaking phenomenon caused by pitchfork bifurcations,which urges that apart from divergence in participants＇ interests,nonlinear interaction can also make conflict inevitable in the PO.The effects of two asymmetric level parameters are tested in order to explore the ways of inducing dominant opinion in the whole PO.It is found that the strong influence imposed by a leader group with firm faith on the flexible and open minded follower groups can promote the formation of a positive dominant opinion in the PO.

Light Emission Characteristics of Metal/Insulator/Metal and Metal/Insulator/Si Tunnel Junctions Mediated by Surface Plasmon-polaritons

The Au/Al2O3/Al metal/insulator/metal junction(MIMJ) and Au/SiO2/Si metal/insulator/Si junction(MISJ) have been constructed successfully. The light emission of these junctions was mediated by surface plasmon-polaritons(SPPs) under surface roughness. The light emission from MISJ was more uniform and stable than that from MIMJ. The light power of MISJ was about 2~3 orders higher than that of MIMJ. The light emission spectrum of MISJ was analyzed especially. In the spectrum, there was one main peak located at the wavelength of 610 nm^640 nm, which was mainly due to the couple of SPP with the surface roughness at the Au/air and Au/SiO2 interfaces. A weak peak located at the shorter wavelength region in the spectrum was also found, which was caused by the direct radiation of doped-Si plasma oscillation.

Properties of Light Emission Spectrumof Double-barrier Tunnel Junction

Fabricated are the double-barrier light emission tunnel junctions successfully. Introduced are the fabrication process and light emission characteristics. The spectra of the junctions are measured and analyzed especially. Their spectrum wavelength including main wave peak(locates at 450 nm^500 nm) of the double-barrier junction shows a "blue shift" in comparison with that of the single-barrier Metal/Insulator/Semiconductor(MIS) or Metal/Insulator/Metal(MIM) junction(wave peak locates at 620 nm^740 nm). This phenomenon should be due to the occurrence of the electron resonant tunneling in the double-barrier junction.

Verification of option parity relations in domestic warrants market of China

This paper screens five pairs of call walTants/put warrants with the same listing date and final exercise date from domestic delisted wattant, and collects and processes relevant statistic in warrant market and stock market. Because inconformity of strike price between call warrants/put warrants in domestic warrant market, and regarding the strike price of put warrants as standard, this paper takes advantage of BSM formula recalculates the price of call warrants, and carries out verification of option parity relations by regression analysis and Wilcoxon＇s Sign Rank Test. From a theoretical point of view, homogenous call warrants/put warrants should satisfy the parity relations. However, due to the lack of short sales mechanism in domestic warrant market and stock market, the empirical results indicate that domestic warrant market can＇ t meet the option parity relations.

RESALE OF GREEN HOUSING COMPENSATES FOR ITS PREMIUM PRICING:AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF CHINA

Green housing reduces resource consumption and protects the ecological environment.Sustainable buildings and construction have gained increasing attention in the last decade.Many empirical studies have confirmed that green housing imposes a price premium at the presale stage.The high price could be a concern that prevents homebuyers from purchasing green buildings.However,there is a lack of empirical evidence on whether the premium pricing could be compensated for by the resale price.To address this gap,this study establishes a hedonic regression model to estimate the price premium of green housing at the resale stage.The results show that green housing certified with the Chinese Green Building Label(CGBL)offers a 6%price premium compared with non-green housing at the resale stage.The results also show that green housing with a higher level of green certification,e.g.,the 3-star CGBL,provides a greater price premium at resale.The findings indicate that homebuyers can obtain financial compensation for the high cost when purchasing a green home.Our findings also indicate that the price premium for reselling a green home is not always enough to compensate for the purchase cost in different cities.Policy recommendations for government promotion of green housing are also discussed.
