    Subjects: Management Science >> Business Management of Department submitted time 2023-12-17

    Abstract: Abstract: China implemented the policy of reform and opening up at the end of 1970s and gradually established the socialist market economic system with Chinese characteristics. China comprehensively introduced western economic theories, including macroeconomics. Western economics is based on the private ownership of capitalist means of production, without considering state-owned means of production. The government only plays the role of a night watchman. Directly applying western macroeconomic theory to study China's economic phenomenon can not deal with government-owned means of production and government investment issues. This leads to many problems in macroeconomic research today, especially in the field of fiscal policy. To solve these problems, we must consider China's socialist characteristics and reposition the dual role of the Chinese government in economic management: to provide optimal public goods and act as social planners to pursue maximum social welfare. In this way, many problems in current macroeconomic research in China can be solved.

    Abstract: The goal of the paper is to assess the impact of COVID-19 on residents' food consumption behavior and promote the stable and healthy development of the food industry. Seven times survey were conducted after the outbreak of COVID-19, including food stockpiling behavior, the choice of food purchase channel, food quality attributes choices, dining styles and consumption of imported cold-chain food. This paper describes the dynamic changes of consumer food consumption behavior after the epidemic. The results show that the epidemic has changed residents' food consumption behavior in the short term and has a lasting impact. Residents' food reserve has been extended; online channel purchase has increased; consumption of green and healthy food has expanded; the trend of diversified dining styles has been stable; and consumption of imported cold chain food has been significantly avoided. Residents' food consumption behavior is changing with consumer risk perception that is accompanied with epidemic fluctuations. Food industry needs to adapt to changes in people's food consumption behavior during COVID-19 pandemic, promoting industrial upgrading and ensuring the food security.

  • The Optimal Contribution Rate of the Pension Pooling Account Model Based on Different Percentage of the Profit of State-owned Enterprises

    Subjects: Management Science >> Business Management of Department submitted time 2021-07-04

    Abstract: " In this paper we attempt to use some percentage of the profit of state-owned enterprises to balance the government pension budget. We construct the optimal contribution rate of the pension pooling account model. If the urban residents start with zero assets and finish with zero assets and only involve current urban employee, we find that all the profit of state-owned enterprises is not used for the budget balance of pension, the optimal contribution rate is 15.27%. If 10% of the profit of state-owned enterprises is used for the budget balance of pension, the optimal contribution rate can reach 13.67%, which is less than the existing contribution rate 16%. If all urban residents are insured, we find that all the profit of state-owned enterprises is not used for the budget balance of pension, the optimal contribution rate is 12.58%. If 10% of the profit of state-owned enterprises is used for the budget balance of pension, the optimal contribution rate can reach 11.04%. In addition, we also consider the retirement age is postponed, the contribution rate in 2050, and get the optimal pension contribution rate of the pension pooling account when different proportion of state-owned enterprise profits are used for pension payment. It can provide guidance for the improvement of our pension system.
