本文的目的是建立刻画区块链生态系统行为表现的 “共识博弈” (Consensus Game) 的一般框架，并针对 “矿池间隔博弈 ” \ (Mining Pool Gap Game）的 “共识均衡” \ (Consensus Equilibria) 的存在性进行刻画和解读，然后通过共识博弈这个新概念来建立和解释区块链平台本身的稳定性在挖矿间隔行为出现的 情况下在基于共识均衡存在的这个意义上的正面回答。这里，“间隔博弈”\ (Gap Game) 所在的区块链生态是指基于中本聪\ （Nakamoto) 在\ 2008 年提出的 “工作量证明” 作为基本的共识原则的挖矿平台。特别地，本文首先在一般激励机制条件下，基于区块链生态中的共识博弈框架，对挖矿间隔行为可能出现的情况下，建立了在一般激励相容机制条件下的共识均衡点的存在性结果和对应区块链生态能够持续运转的稳定性解读书, 然后结合在 “挖（币）矿” \ (Mining Bitcoin）工作中涉及到的工作费用、奖励机制和挖矿能力这三类主要因素，从挖矿工（组）收益的角度, 针对不同嵌入场景对挖矿工（组）的 “间隔博弈行为” \（Gap Game Behavior) 对可能产生的影响进行了解读和分析。本文的理论结果和案例分析表明，结合不同挖矿场景相合适的激励相容机制， 共识博弈（均衡）这个概念可以在理论的层面（即，不需要情景数据模拟结果的支持），能够得到或形成针对不同场景下的挖矿行为的解释和解读。此外，我们有理由期待和相信，结合影响挖矿（组）收益相关的要素因子，共识博弈可以帮助我们构建对应的合适场景的激励相容机制，通过刻画挖矿工（组）出现的诸如 “间隔行为”, “分叉链”, “矿池攻击” 等（不良)行为，支撑数字经济的健康发展, 并对共识经济学基础理论的发展能够起到推进作用。

A significant number of procurements in both public and private sectors have adopted the practice of splitting the award among multiple bidders in an auction, as an alternative to the one-winner-take-all approach. This aims to encourage participation from small firms and reduce dependency on a single supplier. One prominent example is China’s national drug procurement multiple-winner auction, where the drug supply is divided among several winners, increasing in proportion to the number of participants. Given the societal importance of drug prices, it is crucial to properly examine the rationale for using split-award auctions. However, there is limited theoretical and empirical guidance available in the literature. This paper investigates the competitive impact of split-award auctions on key outcomes, such as participation and procurement costs, using both a theoretical framework and empirical evidence. Theoretically, it demonstrates that split-award auctions consistently boost participation but also increase expected procurement costs in almost all instances. The expected procurement cost decreases only if the split-award auction raises participation from 0 to 1 compared to the winner-take-all auction. Empirically, the paper estimates the direction and magnitude of the effects on participation and expected procurement costs using drug procurement data. The findings reveal that split-award auctions moderately increase average participation by 0.85 bidders (17%), but significantly raise the unit expected procurement cost by 4 CNY (38%). Almost half of the overall increase in expected procurement costs stems from reallocating production to more expensive bidders, while the other half results from increased markups charged by bidders in response to this reallocation.

This paper examines the relationship between kin-based institutions and the state in the modern economy, exploring how clan captures the local government. Using data from China’s primary land market and a nationwide genealogy dataset, we employ spatial matching to estimate clan’s causal impacts on land parcel prices, which are a crucial source of fiscal revenue for local government. We find that firms linked to local clans obtained 1.3%-3.0% lower prices than those without clanship connections. We show that clan firms get lower prices through collusion with bidders, a process facilitated by local officials. This patron-client relationship leads to a decline in economic growth at the county level, while China’s anti-corruption campaign transforms the economic impact from negative to positive.

This article examines the experience of Canada’s tourism product operation and management, which has been highly successful in ensuring dynamic development and innovation while maintaining traditional tourism practices. The Canadian model emphasizes quality assurance, organizational support, marketing, and data analysis, providing valuable insights for the internationalization of Hainan’s tourism products. The study suggests that Hainan should focus on improving the overall coordination of its tourism operations, enhancing scientific quality management, utilizing tourism data effectively, and prioritizing efficient marketing. The development of inbound tourism should be used as an entry point to drive Hainan’s international tourism industry and promote the establishment of an international tourism consumption center. The article highlights the current limitations in Hainan’s internationalization of the tourism industry and identifies the need for a new operational management model that is innovative and effective.

This study aims to examine the influence of Chinese immigrants on Canadian business culture and the role of Chinese business associations in shaping the Canadian business landscape. A qualitative research design was used to explore the topic, and semi-structured interviews were conducted as the primary method of data collection. 25 participants were selected for the study through purposive sampling, including Chinese immigrant business owners, employees of Chinese-owned businesses, and members of Chinese business associations in Canada. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data collected through the interviews and identify patterns and themes that emerged from the participants’ responses. The study found that Chinese immigrants have had a significant influence on Canadian business culture and that Chinese business associations play an important role in promoting business cooperation between different cultural groups. The results also suggest that embracing cultural diversity in the business environment has both benefits and challenges, and businesses must effectively manage cultural diversity in the workplace to promote cooperation between different cultural groups. This study provides valuable insights into the ways in which Chinese immigrants have shaped the Canadian business landscape and the importance of embracing cultural diversity in the business environment.

The paper discusses the concept of employee motivation in the workplace and its importance for organizational success. It highlights the gap in literature regarding the most effective ways to motivate employees, which mainly focuses on individual factors such as personality traits and motivational theories. The paper aims to explore the impact of both individual and organizational factors on employee motivation and to determine the most effective ways to motivate employees. The existing academic research on employee motivation is plagued by contradictions and inconsistencies, particularly regarding the emphasis on individual factors as the primary drivers of motivation and ignoring the impact of organizational factors. The paper argues for a more holistic approach to employee motivation that considers both individual and organizational factors.
