Strategic Environmental Standards, Wage Incomes and the Location of Polluting Firms

The purpose of this paper is tostudy how the choice of environmental standardsby governments is affected by the existence ofwage incomes when firms locations areendogenous. In developed countries labor isunionized, which allows positive wage incomesto arise. Thus, each government has incentivesto persuade firms to locate in its countrysince social welfare depends on suchincomes. But, as pollution damages theenvironment, each government will only try toattract polluting firms to thecountry, to obtain the wage incomes, whenthe valuation of environmental damage showsthat it is low.

Sample attrition and labor force dynamics: Evidence from the Spanish labor force survey

In this paper we examine a number of issues that arise in investigating labor force dynamics using the Spanish Labor Force Survey (EPA). These issues are by no means specific to the Spanish case and apply to most European-style labor force surveys. Our main conclusions may be summarized as follows. First, survey nonresponse cannot be neglected. Second, the EPA tends to underestimate employment and participation of high-educated young people, and to overestimate those of the low-educated elderly. Finally, we find little evidence that attrition causes important selection biases in estimating quarterly transition probabilities.     

Problems and environment of small businesses in the Czech Republic

The impressive and spontaneous build-up of the private small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Czech Republic in 1990–93 coincided with the similarly dramatic changes in the public administration and in the whole environment for decision-making. The resulting problems of SMEs in the Czech Republic seem to be common to all economies in transition. A lot of the problems are caused by the macroeconomic policy for which this sector is not the most important part of the national economy. The paper shows some conflicts between macroeconomic anti-inflationary (monetary and fiscal) policies, and interests of small businesses. The authors stress the importance of SMEs during the period of transition. Informal aspects of the functioning of small firms are discussed, especially their relation with banks and public administration. The paper offers some empirical evidence and available statistics on SMEs developments during 1990–94 focusing particularly on manufacturing.     

Business Ethics in The Philippines

The plurality of languages and ethnicities, the geographic fragmentation, the predominant Roman Catholic religion, together with the still relatively short experience in nationhood account for a very peculiar understanding of "business ethics" in the Philippines. The rapid growth and liberalization of the economy, coupled with the inequitable distribution of wealth, the destruction of the environment and corruption are the main ethical concerns. Businesspersons and the academe endeavor to find creative solutions for these unique challenges.     

浮动利率债券基准利率设计研究

我国的浮动利率债券,利率基准较少变动,不具备避险功能.R07D利率能够及时反映货币市场的利率波动,与短期债券的收益率相关性很高,能够规避利率波动的风险.建议发行以R07D利率作为基准利率的浮动利率债券,以付息周期前一期的R07D平均利率为基准,每三个月支付一次利息.以结算数据作为R07D的数据源,更具有真实性和科学性.

对企业收益期满后净资产折现值的探讨

用收益法评估企业的整体资产,越来越多地被运用于高科技企业及高成长、高收益性的企业.采用收益法评估企业整体资产,是以评估基准日为起点,分析企业的营业收入(或销售收入)、成本费用,并考虑固定资产折旧、无形递延资产摊销、资本性支出等因素,计算出企业在特定收益期限内(无限年或有限年)总现金流入量及总现金流出量,从而计算企业的净现金流量并折现加总,即得出企业的整体资产(净资产)价值.出于对未来收益不确定性、高科技企业的高经营风险或合资(合作)年限等因素的考虑,我们在采用收益法评估企业整体资产时,有时会采用收益期为有限年的现金流模型来计算企业的整体资产.
