欧盟否认中国市场经济地位对中国及世界经济影响的剖析

研究目标：探究欧盟否认中国市场经济地位,对中国、欧盟及世界经济的宏观、产业以及贸易的影响。研究方法：将“非市场经济地位”折算为“反倾销等值税”,利用全球贸易分析模型针对欧盟对中国征收的进口关税进行计算。研究发现：欧盟否认中国市场经济地位不会缓解欧盟就业压力,反而使欧盟出口在中国总进口占比下降0.01个百分点;同时,全世界资源配置效率下降,进一步导致全世界整体福利下降;虽然欧盟否认中国市场经济地位使中国对欧盟出口减少约50.6亿美元,但中国向世界其他地区的出口量均有所上升;而且有利于中国产业结构优化,对供给侧改革有一定的激励作用。研究创新：将“非市场经济地位”折算为“反倾销等值税”。研究价值：在研究非数值变量时（如市场经济地位）,可利用其直接影响的变量（反倾销）造成的直接经济损失,折算为适当的指标变量（等值关税）。中国对世界经济的贡献和影响巨大,市场经济地位不容否认。     

含空间自回归误差项的空间动态面板模型的检验与模拟

研究目标：探究含空间自回归误差项的空间动态面板数据（SDPD）模型选择和假设检验结果的水平扭曲、检验功效。研究方法：构建含空间自回归误差项的SDPD模型的空间Hausman、LM和LR检验统计量,选择蒙特卡洛模拟进行分析。研究发现：含空间自回归误差项的SDPD模型的各类检验统计量的大样本性质良好;时空滞后项对空间Hausman检验结果的影响比空间滞后项显著;条件LMλ|α、LRλ|α检验是含空间自回归误差项随机效应SDPD模型的最优检验统计量,时空滞后项对LM、LR检验结果的影响比自回归误差项更显著。研究创新：解析了SDPD模型中各空间关联项系数的波动对模型检验精度的影响。研究价值：探究含空间自回归误差项SDPD模型的选择问题,为实证提供理论依据。     

Does Integrated Reporting Matter to the Capital Market?

Integrated reporting (<IR>) is an emerging international corporate reporting initiative to address limitations to extant corporate reporting approaches, which are commonly criticized for being both voluminous and disjointed. While <IR> is gaining in popularity, current momentum has been limited due to a lack of clear evidence of its benefits. Utilizing the most suitable setting currently available, being discretionary disclosures made by listed companies on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, this study provides evidence that analyst forecast error reduces as a company's level of alignment with the <IR> framework increases. Further, the improved alignment is associated with a subsequent reduction in the cost of equity capital for certain reporting companies. The results are obtained after controlling for factors relating to financial transparency and the issuance of standalone non‐financial reports, which suggests that <IR> is providing incrementally useful information to the capital market over and above existing reporting mechanisms.     

政府补助、保险支付与老年临终照料成本——基于2002-2014年CLHLS死亡人口追踪数据的分析

为应对日益增大的老年人照料压力,我国各地试点通过政府补助或社会保险支付的方式满足老人的照料需求。基于2002-2014年CLHLS死亡人口追踪数据,文章用两部分模型、Heckman选择模型和结构方程模型,分析了政府补助、保险支付对老年临终照料直接成本和总成本的影响及其中介机制。研究发现,老年临终照料服务由保险支付的直接成本和总成本都比家庭支付明显更高,政府补助的直接成本比家庭支付更高,保险支付的直接成本比政府补助更高。保险支付和政府补助对照料成本影响的机制存在差异,保险支付主要通过收入效应对照料成本产生显著影响,但替代效应也发挥了中介作用,政府补助则主要通过替代效应对照料成本产生显著影响。文章的研究结论具有重要的政策含义。我国发展长期护理保险,应合理界定政府、市场、社会和家庭对老年人的照料责任,并明确长期护理保险的有限责任,尽量降低可能的收入效应和替代效应对照料成本的影响。     

我国军民融合产业对制造业运行的动态响应

基于db（n=5）小波函数,对我国证券市场军工航天板块收盘价与成交量自2005年6月以来的2 512个交易日进行时序模拟,通过对低频信号进行提取后认为,我国军工航天产业发展对宏观经济政策的依赖度较高,军民融合产业整体仍面临着深度发展的良好机遇。基于VAR模型,对我国制造业宏观经济运行指标进行了动态模拟、脉冲函数响应分析与方差分解。结果显示,制造业新产品订单指数可作为研究我国制造业经济运行的重要指标,经对数化后其每提升1个百分点或高端装备制造业指数每增长1个百分点,相应的军民融合产业指数分别提高2.86%和1.22%。为提升我国制造业尤其是高端装备制造业水平,应促进军民融合产业深度发展。     

中国城市规模和产业结构对城市劳动生产率的协同效应研究

文章基于我国281个地级及以上城市2000-2013年的面板数据,综合运用GMM、门槛面板模型和空间面板模型等计量方法,实证研究了城市规模和产业结构对中国城市劳动生产率的协同影响效应.研究发现:(1)中国城市劳动生产率与城市规模之间呈倒U形关系,与二产/三产增加值之比也呈现倒U形关系;(2)城市“规模红利”的发挥受制于产业结构,而产业结构的“结构红利”大小也受城市规模的影响.文章据此提出:虽然少数中国特大城市和大城市已经初步出现规模不经济迹象,但绝大多数中等城市规模仍偏小,“规模红利”还有待进一步开发,同时绝大多数城市还未充分发挥第二产业的潜力,不宜过早“去工业化”.文章据此对中国城市发展战略提出一系列政策建议,即要用更加市场化的手段鼓励城市规模优化和产业结构调整.     

Who invests more in advanced abatement technology? Theory and evidence

We study firm investment in abatement technology under a heterogeneous‐firm framework. We find that more‐productive firms make more (less) investment in abatement technology if investment and productivity are complements (substitutes). Under linear demand, firms’ abatement investments exhibit an inverted U‐shape with respect to productivity level. This finding is in contrast to results in existing studies. We also find that in response to tightened environmental regulations, more‐productive firms raise their respective investments in abatement technology, whereas less‐productive firms do the opposite. More‐productive firms have lower pollution emission intensity. The key theoretical predictions are confirmed by empirical tests using Chinese data.     

The effects of foreign strategic investors on business models in China’s commercial banks: does ownership structure matter?

Introducing foreign strategic investors (FSIs) is a vital step in the ownership reforms of China’s banking industry. Using China’s data from 1995 to 2014, we employ propensity score matching and difference-in-differences approaches to investigate the effects of FSIs on the business models of Chinese banks, including income structure and funding structure. We find that FSIs significantly influence income structure. The bank’s non-interest income (NII) share significantly rises after introducing FSIs. The higher ownership shares of FSIs are associated with the higher NII share. And the NII share has been increased when FSIs assign directors or senior managers to Chinese banks. We also report that the effects of FSIs on income structure are weaker in state-owned banks than those in other banks, and ownership concentration weakens the links between FSIs and income structure. Finally, this article shows that FSIs have no significant influence on funding structure. These findings will be informative and relevant to both policymakers and practitioners.     

International Trade and R&D Investment: Evidence from Chinese Manufacturing Firms

A current concern for China's long‐term growth prospect is whether China can become an innovative economy and achieve industrial upgrading to compensate for the gradually declining competitiveness resulting from low‐cost labor. The present study examines this issue by exploring how trade participation impacts on the R&D investment of manufacturing firms through various channels. Merging China's Annual Manufacturing Survey Dataset and the Chinese Customs Dataset allows us to study such a relationship at the individual firm level. The empirical results suggest that channels such as geographical diversification of export markets, share of imports from high‐income countries, average unit value of imports, number of intermediate goods and capital goods imports, and the trade regime are significant factors that influence firm‐level R&D investment. The study discusses the policy implications of the empirical findings in relation to industrial and trade policies that may be potentially beneficial for China's transition towards an innovative economy.
