This paper describes an intelligent decision support system for evaluating state-owned enterprises (SOEs) using DEA models. This decision support system converts numerical data into information that can be used to evaluate state-owned enterprises (SOEs). In this paper, we use DEA models, including CCR, BCC and FDH, to shed new light on the operational efficiency and determinants of stateowned e...

This paper describes an intelligent decision support system for evaluating state-owned enterprises (SOEs) using DEA models. This decision support system converts numerical data into information that will evaluate state-owned enterprises (SOEs). We associate the database management subsystem, the model base subsystem, the knowledge acquisition subsystem, and the dialogue subsystem to construct D...

The past two decades have witnessed significant changes in China as it has moved from a centrally planned economy to a more market-oriented one. As a socialist nation, state owned enterprises (SOEs) continue to comprise a dominant part of economic activity in China. While many SOEs are inefficient and incur losses, economic reforms since the late 1970s have brought about irrevocable changes in ...

Can You Teach Old Dragons New Tricks? FDI and Innovation Activity in Chinese State-Owned Enterprises We investigate whether inward FDI, either at the firm or industry level, has any impact on product innovation by Chinese State owned enterprises (SOEs). We use a comprehensive firm level panel data set of Chinese SOEs covering the period 1999 to 2003. Our results show that foreign capital partic...

China’s industrial state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are commonly perceived as performing poorly. This leads authors to conclude that SOE reform so far has been a failure, and to recommend all-out privatization. Industrial SOE profitability indeed declined drastically in the course of the reform period, and industrial SOEs are always less profitable than industrial non-SOEs. However, the gap betwe...

Organizational slack has been recognized as critical to firm performance, although its impact is not always positive. Slack may be used to fuel innovation or alternatively excess resources may be squandered on pet projects. However, most research on slack is rooted in studying private firms in developed economies, especially the United States. Whether prior research on organizational slack can ...

This study contributes to the debate on whether China’s domestic enterprises (DEs) have experienced a significant catch-up compared with foreign-funded enterprises (FFEs) in high-tech industries. Our paper tries to estimate a new set of capital stock and R&D capital stock by ownership for China’s high-tech industries. Then, using this newly constructed data set, it assesses the comparative prod...

Shadow banking in China is mainly conducted by banks to evade the excessive credit control, which constitutes a dual-track approach to liberalize the country’s rigid interest rate policy. The market track of shadow banking can lead to efficiency gain by allowing credit resale to fund the more productive yet credit-deprived private enterprises (PEs). Pareto improvement can be achieved as the ban...
