• Labor,Value and Enterprises Ownership—The Development of Marxian Labor Theory of Value at Present |
Abstract: The socioeconomic conditions undergirding Marxian Theory of Value have been changed dramatically as a consequence of the so called “Management Revolution” and “Capital Revolution”.The separation among capital investors,entrepreneurs and business managers indicates that,in todays economy,the origin of value is no longer just manual labor,but the combined labor consisting of entrepreneurial,managerial,professional as well as the unskilled labor.As a result,the surplus value is no longer exclusively claimed by capital investors,but to be shared by capital investors,entrepreneurs,and managers as well as other relevant human capital owners.The rules governing the sharing of the surplus value among these groups depends on various factors,such as capital scarcity,and technical intensity as well as measurability of different categories of labor.In brief,the fundamental reason for some categories of labor to claim a share of surplus value is their growing human capital intensity.Similarly,the ultimate reason for capital investors to obtain a share of surplus value is the continuous existence of capital scarcity.In the final section,this article explored briefly the policy implications of the proposed theory for the ongoing socialist economic reform. |

• The Relationship between Infrastructure Investment and Manufacturing Industry Growth |
Abstract: It is very important to develop more and more complete infrastructure system in the process of industrialization to meet the development need of manufacturing industry.But there is also a difficult choice for the government how to stress the public investment between the two sectors in the short period and long run.This paper will analyse the co\|relatinos between infrastructure and the manufacturing industry growth from international experience especially Chinas case in the past two decades.We found that there are very close links between the two sectors,but the roles of different kinds of infrastructure,infrastructure in different regions and different period of industrialization are different to the development of manufacturing industry,We suggest that Chinese government should invest the public funds in the infrastructure fields more wisely in order to promote the coordinate\|development between the two sectors. |

• Comment on Technological Innovation Principle of Venture Investment Mechanism |
Abstract: In researching the relation between the efficiency of technological innovation and the size of an enterprise and the structure of market,the traditional theory concentrates on the power and efficiency by which the organization structure of an enterprise controls its internal resources.However,the results from a lot of experimental study cannot explain that.Through comparative analysis of the insufficient efficiency of technological innovation in the existing organization structure of an enterprise under different system,this paper points out many obstacles in the mechanism with which the technological innovation of internal resources of an enterprise carries out the commercialized development of state of the art high\|tech achievements.This kind of obstacle has proven the limitation of the traditional theory.In recent decades,the new contract modes appearing in a lot of venture investment enterprises have been integrating their resoures from outside,their organization have been widely proven effective in overcoming the technological innovation obstacle.Through analyzing the technological innovation principle of venture investment mechanism,cases for experimental research are provided for renewing the traditional theory. |

• Financial-Data-Based Information Screening—The Case of Telecommunication Industry Listed Companies |
Abstract: Information underload and overload which distorts investors decisions are twins in the securities market,and some insider\|controlled companies which deliberately released misleading information exacerbate the investors welfare condition.This empirical study is intended to bridge the modern statistical techniques and financial data process,and provide new screening approach of data process under the condition of asymmetry information.We have proved that the approach effectively decreases investors dependence on the information released by the invested listed companies,and the chance of being misled by the “topics and concepts”.We have chosen the domesitcally listed companies in telecommunication industry as a demonstration,which illustrated how the model works. |

• Participation,Uncertainty and the Genesis and Evolution of Investment Order—Another Framework to Interpret Investors Motive and Expectance |
Abstract: Differing from the main stream theory which treat investors motive and expectance as a calculus process to maximize their utility,the authors treat investors motive and expectance as investors participating in investment decision and develop a framework based on this point of view. In this framework,participation index is used to describe investors attitude and sense,inferred from investors motive and expectance during investment decision\|making. Different investor groups resulting from different participation indexes interact on investment decision\|making and this interaction determine the genesis and evolution of investment order which actually affect the make of investment decision.Uncertainty resides just in the subjectiveness and undesigned of investment order evolution. |
