  • understanding rural restructuring in china the impact of changes in labor and Capital Productivity on domestic agricultural production and trade
    Journal of Rural Studies, 2016
    Co-Authors: Qian Zhang, Feng Wu, Xiangzheng Deng
    Abstract:

    Abstract In China, the provinces of Shandong and Henan are the leading provinces for grain production and also have the highest populations. In this study, we quantitatively analyze the impact of the two primary factors that indicate rural restructuring (namely, an increase in labor- and Capital-augmenting technical change, represented by labor and Capital Productivity) on wheat production in Shandong and Henan provinces, and the consequent effects on exported and imported wheat volumes in other provinces through to 2020. For the analysis, we use The Enormous Regional Model (TERM), an established multi-region computable general equilibrium model. The results show that the magnitude of change generated by the increase in labor Productivity is larger than that generated by the increase in Capital Productivity. Therefore, great importance should be attached not only to increasing Capital technical change but also improving labor technical change. This study also reveals that regional competitive industry can easily shape absolute competition superiority, which consequently exerts a large impact on the homogeneity of products. Rural China is moving into a critical stage of restructuring, and therefore the government should provide rational top-down guidance. The central government should avoid adopting a “one size fits all” policy and simply supporting a single industry or particular development patterns. Rural China should form stable, sustainable, and specialized agricultural production arranged by geographic areas, which would not only guarantee China’s food security, but also improve the nation’s competitive capacity in the international market.

  • Organizational Learning and Capital Productivity in Semiconductor Manufacturing
    IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing, 2014
    Co-Authors: Charles M. Weber, Jiting Yang
    Abstract:

    This paper presents an empirical study, which leads to a theoretical framework that links organizational learning and Capital Productivity. The approach described in this paper helps fab managers make fundamental strategic decisions concerning Capital investment and point of entry by engaging in scenario planning. Three strategic options for semiconductor manufacturing are analyzed in detail-leading-edge manufacturer, fast follower, and slow follower. The study concludes that profitability and Capital Productivity can be in conflict with each other. Leading-edge manufacturers can make large profits, if they ramp up to volume production in a timely manner, but their return on investment and thus their Capital Productivity are relatively low. Generally, manufacturers that do not run state-of-the-art processes are less profitable than those that do, but their return on investment and thus their Capital Productivity is comparatively high. Fast followers, which import part of their manufacturing process and ramp to volume production rapidly but with a delay, neither break even nor recover their investment.

  • Organizational learning and Capital Productivity in semiconductor manufacturing
    ASMC 2013 SEMI Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference, 2013

    Abstract:

    This paper presents an empirically grounded model, which links organizational learning and Capital Productivity. The approach described in this paper helps fab managers make fundamental strategic decisions concerning Capital investment and point of entry by engaging in scenario planning. Three strategic options for semiconductor manufacturing are analyzed in detail-leading-edge manufacturer, fast follower and slow follower.
