COPYRIGHT AND ARTISTS: A VIEW FROM CULTURAL ECONOMICS

Abstract.  Most of the standard economic literature on copyright ignores a number of aspects that have considerable significance for cultural production and for artists, the primary creators of copyright works, the supply of which copyright is supposed to stimulate. Specifically, there is little mention in that literature of moral rights, no distinction is made between copyright for authors and neighbouring rights for performers, the distributional effects of copyright are barely referred to, and the question of how much artists earn from copyright is ignored. In this article, I survey work that relates copyright and cultural economics showing that cultural economics offers another view to the 'standard' economics of copyright. Moreover, the case for government intervention in the arts and heritage made by cultural economists has resonance for the economic rationale of copyright.     

当前我国集装箱港口市场结构及其发展研究

根据产业经济学的理论,市场结构是现代产业组织理论特别是SCP分析框架中最基本的概念和研究主题。因此文章从市场集中度、市场进出入壁垒和港口服务的差别化等方面对集装箱运输港口的市场结构进行分析。通过分析得出结果:集装箱港口的市场集中度水平处于中度寡占型,同时各个港口之间的吞吐量差距继续存在,并具有缩小的趋势。并针对当前市场结构的特点,对集装箱港口的进一步发展给出战略性建议。

An Econometric Analysis of I(2) Variables

This paper provides a selective survey of the recent literature dealing with I(2) variables in economic time series, that is, processes that require to be differenced twice in order to become stationary. With reference to particular economic models intuition is provided of why I(2)-and polynomial cointegration are features likely to occur in economics. The properties of I(2) series are discussed and I review topics such as: Testing for double unit roots, representations of I(2) cointegrated systems, and hypothesis testing in single equations as well as in systems of equations. Different data sets are used to illustrate the various econometric and statistical techniques.

Commentary on “The meaning of ‘talent’ in the world of work”

This paper provides a commentary on the article in this Special Issue on “The meaning of ‘talent’ in the world of work”, welcoming its analysis of the definition, meaning and conceptualisation of talent and seeking to develop further its research recommendations. In particular, it argues that the relationships between talent and gifts should be further explored, proposes that exploring its use in other languages than English would be useful, and suggests comparing its identification and development in management and other fields, especially sport and the arts. It also proposes multidisciplinary research and research into talent and talent management in various contexts, including sectorial, cultural, institutional and structural contexts. Finally, it proposes that factors which influence how talent is identified need further analysis, and perspectives from resource-based theories, ethical theories, development economics, and social capital theories should be utilised.     

Jane Jacobs on Henry George: Progress or Poverty?

Henry George and Jane Jacobs each have devoted followers today who remain mainly outside the intellectual mainstream, both are iconic American intellectuals largely sympathetic to and quite knowledgeable about how markets work, and they each challenged the prevailing economic orthodoxies of their day. Much has been written, pro and con, on George's single tax and on Jacobs's battles with urban planners, and while I don't directly address either here, what I say does have implications for those controversies. In particular, I show how and why their views on the nature of economic progress, and of cities in that progress, fundamentally differ. I trace the difference to George's essentially classical approach to economics in contrast to Jacobs's subjectivist approach, which more radically transcends the economics of her time.     

经济学的定性分析与定量分析:争论与融合

定性分析和定量分析是经济学研究的两种基本手段。前者是对经济事物本质及其属性的分析;后者是对经济事物进行量的考察。学术界对两者存在较严重的分歧,以致形成不同学派的论战;文章就定量分析与定性分析的发展及其发展过程中的争论和融合进行研究,得出结论:经济学的科学性和人文性决定了经济学研究方法必须做到定性分析和定量分析相结合。
