行政区划窠臼内的中国经济区划

传统行政区划主要考虑的是政治的因素。改革开放以来,这些行政区的经济功能十分突出和明显,由此产生了一些问题。经济全球化的过程中,经济区域发展要求突破行政区划的束缚,走出一条区域联合之路。立足行政区划,并且超越行政区划是经济发展的可行之路。     

高新技术开发区在区域创新中的作用及发展对策

区域创新是提升区域竞争力的根本动力,高新技术开发区则是区域不断创新的极点与载体。高新技术开发区对区域创新网络的构建以及高新技术开发区各主体对区域创新都具有非常重要的作用。在科学发展观指导下采取有力的措施,提高高新技术开发区自身的创新能力、促进高新技术开发区的进一步发展就尤为重要。     

辽低速油田筛选与分类初探

以辽河油区低速油田为例,讨论了文献中提出的3种低速油田筛选标准,提出了油藏剩余可采储量采油速度的低速油田筛选标准,有助于动态分析和掌握低速油田状况,正确认识开发阶段和开发效果,且排除了一些因采出程度高而形成的“低速”区块,更加符合油田实际。依据该标准筛选出辽河油区低速油田58个。动用石油地质储量占辽河油区己探明原油地质储量的22．2％,占动用地质储量的28．8％。又根据造成油田低速的主要原因分为5类：物性(低渗)低速、岩性低速、油性低速、构造(复杂断块)低速和其他原因低速。不同类型低速油田需要确定相应的开发技术、经济界限。     

关天经济区新型城镇化水平综合评价——基于PCA分析法

首先在界定了新型城镇化内涵的基础上,从新型城镇化发展的动力系统、质量系统和公平系统三大方面构建了评价关天经济区新型城镇化水平的指标体系,然后采用PCA主成分分析法对关天经济区各市区2003—2012年新型城镇化综合水平进行了测定及排名。结果显示:经济区在10年间新型城镇化水平总体呈上升趋势,但仍存在基础设施落后、城乡居民收入差距过大、产业结构不合理等问题。因此,以强化城镇发展动力提升为目的,合理配置产业结构;以提升城镇质量为核心,加强城镇基础设施建设;以改善社会公平为着力点,缩小城乡收入差距成为应对关天经济区新型城镇化问题的必然选择。     

Regime-switching and interest rates in the European monetary system

This paper examines the impact that a currency target zone has on short-term interest rates. For a number of countries in the European Monetary System, we characterize the short rate using a regime-switching model that allows for a differently parameterized mean-reverting square-root process in each regime. We find that the volatility, the level, and the speed-of-adjustment are all higher in the regime that is operative during speculative attacks and currency crises. Moreover, we allow the conditional probability of being in each regime to be state-dependent so the model can be used to examine questions relating to the likelihood of realignments and the stability of the target zone system.     

Nonlinearity and stationarity of inflation rates: evidence from the euro-zone countries

Earlier studies hardly reject the hypothesis of a unit root in inflation. Few studies have examined the possibility of nonlinearity in inflation and tested nonlinear stationarity of the inflation rates. This study thus intends to fill the gap. This study utilizes the tests for nonlinearity along with the unit root tests that allow for nonlinearity in the variables to examine the stationarity of inflation rates of 12 European countries that formed the Euro Zone (EZ) later in the sample period. The results suggest that the majority of these countries’ inflation rates can be characterized by mean reversion during the floating exchange rate period. Many of them appear to be nonlinear stationary. This finding is essential in conducting applied economic studies for these countries, when constructing models whose validity relies on whether or not inflation is stationary. The results of this study also imply that shocks to inflation have a transitory effect on inflation in the euro area. Therefore, it would be less costly in exercising the policies of disinflation for the monetary authorities of the euro area than for those of the countries with nonstationary inflation.

构建“宁镇扬经济板块”的几点思考

江苏省第十一次党代会提出了打造“宁镇扬经济板块”的构想,这是区域经济一体化的必然趋势。宁镇扬经济板块整合发展具有得天独厚的良好条件,必须抓住机遇,加快实施,在交通、信息、制造、商贸、服务、科教文卫、管理等领域开展全方位的合作。当前,应制定规划,建立协调制度,注重市场作用与政府推动的协调统一,打破要素流动的桎梏,培育统一的要素市场,促进经济板块的形成和壮大。     

An assessment and ranking of barriers to doing environmental business with China

The transfer of environmental goods and services to China will increasingly be of importance to developed nations as the demand for environmental management services increases in China. A review of the literature on technology transfer to China revealed a range of well recognized and commonly known constraints to transferring technologies to China. There were gaps in the literature in relation to the concerns that environmental professionals have regarding technology transfer to China, as there is limited information on the transfer in environmental goods and services to China. A survey of the non‐trade barriers and their practical impact on the transfer of environmental technologies and goods and services to China, focusing on Australian suppliers, was undertaken to address these gaps. The survey, which was developed from barriers to technology transfer already described in the extensive research addressing the wider issues of technology transfer to China, targeted environmental professionals but also included other professionals with interests in transferring environmental goods and services to China. From the survey, the highest priority barriers to transferring environmental goods and service to China were identified, and those that are most likely to limit Australian vendors of environmental goods and services in their technology transfers to China were protection of intellectual property (IP), limitations of the rule of law, fragmentation and bureaucracy of the Chinese government and establishing appropriate level of ownership (of environmental goods and services providers in China). Examples of Australian experience were also examined, which confirmed these barriers to providing the needed technology and innovation to manage China's increasing environmental impacts. The research also shows that the barriers identified do not appear to be unique to transfer of environmental goods and services but rather generic to the transfer and adoption of Australian technology into China.
