Architecture and Paradigms of microeconomics

The main content of microeconomics is research and study of economic theory, which is an important branch of Western economics. After 200 years of development, microeconomics has become a＂ Queen＂ of the social sciences that have complete system, logical, and many branches. It studies the behavior of individual economic and its interacting theory in the market economy, in order to explain the market mechanism how to configure resources and its need of government intervention in microeconomic activities. Speaking from the specific content, it can be divided into supply and demand, theory of consumer utility, theory of production and costs on producers, factors on the factor market, market competition and theory of non- competitive market, general equilibrium and welfare economics, market failure.

Cybersecurity: Integrating Information into the Microeconomics of the Consumer and the Firm

The connectivity of information has changed many things but not the way economists model consumers, firms and government. Information is here newly modeled as a fundamental element of microeconomic choices and utility, cost and tax functions. The results are more clearly defined metrics for losses due to cyber breaches or productivity gains from cyber investments. The integration of information into standard microeconomics also allows use of econometric and other tools to analyze the empirics of the consumer and the firm. In particular, the results identify ways in which losses in the Gordon and Loeb [1] model can be specified in more detail.

Paths out of poverty:An eclectic and idiosyncratic review of analytical approaches

This paper briefly reviews different debates about approaches for paths out of poverty,considering several views,from the analysis of specific policies to more general or systemic considerations.The contribution of this paper is to present a broad outline of those debates and to serve as an illustration of the complexity of analyzing paths out of poverty.It discusses in sequence,the more microeconomic approach of evaluation of individual policies for poverty alleviation;then it moves to broader issues of growth and development strategies,and macroeconomic policies,and their links to the persistence or reduction of poverty;and finally discusses the topic of institutions,related to how policy decisions are made and enforced in societies at the previous three levels.Finally,the concluding section argues that a successful program to eliminate poverty must integrate all levels of individual policies,macroeconomic programs,development strategies and good institutions.This paper hopes to contribute to that crucial work.

Quantifying the Microeconomic and Macroeconomic Impact of the Recent Crude Oil Price Fluctuations

This study analyzed the potential impact of the increased oil volatility on the industries and the global economy. Specifically, it separated the oil price fluctuations into positive and negative components, and modeled the return of industry portfolios with them. Next, the sensitivity of the airline industry to oil price was investigated to gauge the effectiveness of their hedging strategies, with the hope that the methodology can be extended to other industries. In addition, this paper explored the macroeconomic impact of oil price movements by examining the benchmarks such as GDP and CPI.

The Relationship between Quality and Efficiency in Business Management

Quality and efficiency are the two most important factors for the survival of an enterprise.Quality is essential,then efficiency.Only the quality in the first place,to ensure the efficiency of the implementation.You can imagine when the first step didn’t happen.So in the enterprise management should always put the quality in mind,always inspire the concept of quality.Don’t put efficiency in your mouth every day,because it is too snobbish and haste makes waste.So recruit some of the level of people to serve for the enterprise,and reuse it,in order to constantly achieve new things,so that the quality gradually up.And continuous contact with workers,to understand the real content of the product and equipment,so that the increasingof the product quality.In addition,the requirements of customers should be discussed quickly and communicated with the production department,so that the product quality can be improved and the cost can be reduced to seek higher prices.The purchase order decides technology which decides quality and efficiency as well.The latter determines goods quality and quantity through equipment by staffs who is capable of the equipment such as machinery design.Another is mould which could be designed too through fit size and material.

Research on Farmers' Response to Microeconomic Policies and Its Impact on Land Degradation in Zhaodong Heilongjiang Province

The livelihoods of farmers are responding to the mioroeconomic policies and result in many changes in the landuse pattern and landscape, and the farmer＇s attitude to the natural resources conservation, specifically in the land degradation. In order to find the relationship between the farmers＇ response to the microeeonomic policies and land degradation, the authors surveyed 120 household in three villages in the black soil zone in Heilongjiang Province. Based on the feedback of the questionnaires, the authors established a model to analyze the impact. The results demonstrated that land degradation was impacted by farmers behaviors in the process of the adjustment of agricultural structures in the city of Zhaodong. And the main factors acted on the land degradation were the agricultural labour education level, the transfer of the labour from agricultural production, the price of the agricultural production materials, and the land scale management. The authors put forward some suggestions for sustainable agriculture based on the analysis on the topic.

Analyses on the Microeconomic Leverage in IPOs＇ Trademark Disposition with Their Parent Companies

By applying the theory of the relationship between microeconomic leverages and corporate risks, this paper discusses methods that the IPOs should choose to dispose the trademark with their parent companies so as to go public with a high issue price. By analyzing their microeconomic leverage effects, this paper points out that each method has its specific effect on risks and the IPOs should choose the method according to its risk factors, existing assets and financial structure to gain risk income and decrease risk losses.

Applicability of Databases in the Real Estate Valuation Process in the Conditions of the Emerging Economy of the Republic of Moldova

The real estate valuation activity in the Republic of Moldova dates from 2002, with the adoption of Law No. 989 on Evaluation Activity. Nevertheless, the legislative and methodological framework is extremely limited. There are no national professional standards. Meanwhile, the situations that require real estate valuation are multiplying and diversifying. Therefore, the valuers apply the provisions of the International Valuation Standards (IVS) and of the European Valuation Standards (TEGoVA) adapting them to the national realities by virtue of their knowledge and experience. Information stored in databases plays an important role in the real estate valuation process. In this paper, the authors analyse the content of existing databases in the Republic of Moldova (the databases of normative documents, the information system for the cadastre of real estate, the statistical databases, and specialized databases), the quality of the included information, as well as the applicability of that information in the real estate valuation process. The disadvantages, limitations and shortcomings of databases are highlighted, and measures are proposed to increase their usefulness.

Analysis on China Cotton Market

China is the world＇s largest cotton producer and consumer and its domestic cotton demand and supply have a great influence on the world market. This paper firstly gives a discussion on Chinese cotton market, especially from a viewpoint of history to study domestic market price fluctuation. The cotton market history from E R. China＇s setting up to present has been divided into four stages and characterized as different agricultural policies applications and economic periodicities. Concluding from the history, artificial influences may be the most important reason of market inequilibrium, up to now, market and artificial interruption, are also the key problem. Then it takes domestic cotton demand as a study object, trying to find what will be a statistic significant cotton demand in national level and it＇s underneath demand frame. Through a seres of analysis on the demand frame, problems have been clearly displayed, an open microeconomic circulation supports our study and six variables had been described by statistics. Therefore, we can analyze the cases of real cotton demand that includes supply and demand reactions in China with experience and estimations. Otherwise, international cotton market is greatly interacted with Chinese domestic market more and more today. Some necessary analysis, such as international cotton supply and demand, Chinese cotton stock policy and world price long run tendency, are very important factors for Chinese cotton development. Those may concern Chinese access to WTO, cotton trade quota and tariff, welfare comparison, etc., all have been discussed in the paper.

Optimal operating strategy of short turning lines for the battery electric bus system

Operating short turning line is an efficient strategy to satisfy the unevenly distributed demand during peak periods while reducing operational cost.However,for the battery electric bus(BEB)system,the application of the strategy is challenging due to the disadvantages of BEBs,such as limited driving mileage and long charging time.Improper vehicle configuration and charging scheduling may dramatically increase the operational cost and cut the benefits of these strategies.In this work,we propose a general framework to design an effective short turning strategy for the BEB system at a tactical planning level.First,the trade-off relationship between the battery capacity and the average trip time is identified by modeling the BEBs operations.Second,a microeconomic model is formulated to jointly optimize the frequencies and charging schedules of the whole bus line and the short turning line,to effectively minimize passengers’waiting time and operational cost.Finally,numerical experiments have been carried out for an illustrative linear line to demonstrate the potential benefits of the sub-line operating strategy compared with the normal operation.
