吉林省地方政府绩效评价体系的构建

吉林省地方政府绩效评价从无到有、从经验践行到体系的探索历程,虽然取得了极大成就,但是仍然存在着参与评价的主体集中在主要领导部门和部门主要领导手中,绩效评价的主体参与的激励机制不完善,评价依据不合理,推动绩效评价的制度供给不足等主要问题。针对其问题产生的原因,必须构建主体多元化参与的绩效评价体系,强化绩效评价的制度建设,建立公开透明的信息沟通渠道,合理利用评价结果完善激励机制,建构经济绩效、政治绩效和社会绩效相统一的绩效目标体系,以促进地方政府绩效评价水平的提升。     

浅析杜鲁门政府时期美国对远东地区的战略转变

冷战迫使美国重新分析日本在美国全球战略中的地位.美国对日本政策的调整带动了美国对韩国政策的调整,即收缩在韩国的军事力量,回避直接介入朝鲜半岛,主要通过政治、经济援助来稳定韩国的局势.美日韩三国同盟明显体现了“分工理论”.     

从财政分权看我国地方政府发行公债的必要性

举债权是规范的分税制赋予地方政府应有的财权。在财政分权的框架下,一级政权,一级事权,一级财权是题中之义。本文首先从财政分权理论出发,指出发行市政债是地方融资平台的替代措施。

Town centre management in the UK: A review,synthesis and research agenda

Despite rapid growth in the number of town centre management schemes in the UK there have been few attempts to consider this topic from an academic perspective. This article develops a typology of town centre management schemes, based upon a comprehensive review of existing literature. The criteria of organizational structure and resource origin are identified as primary influences in the initiation and development of such schemes. The article concludes by outlining a research agenda which considers both local governance and spatial and temporal themes in the initiation and development of town centre management. The analysis of such factors is vital to a fuller understanding of this area.     

Fractional integration in daily stock market indices at Jordan's Amman stock exchange

Using daily data on five sectoral indices from 2006 to 2014, this paper aims to investigate the possibility of fractional integration in sectoral returns (and their volatility measures) at Jordan's Amman stock exchange (ASE). Empirical analysis, using the log-periodogram (LP) and local whittle (LW) based semi-parametric fractional differencing techniques suggest that all sectoral returns at ASE exhibit short memory. However, in the case of volatility measures, we found evidence of long memory. Following the recent literature that argues that structural breaks in a time series could also explain the presence of long memory, we tested the volatility measures for the presence of structural breaks. We found that long memory in some volatility measures could be attributed to the presence of structural breaks. Furthermore, using impulse response functions (IRF) based on ARFIMA, we found that shocks to sectoral returns at ASE exhibit short run persistence, whereas shocks to volatility measures display long run persistence.     

Local interests or centralized targets? How China’s local government implements the farmland policy of Requisition–Compensation Balance

The Requisition–Compensation Balance of Farmland (RCBF) is a strict policy in China aimed at controlling farmland conversion and replenishing farmland loss caused by urban expansion through a set of top-down quotas. These conflict with local interests, since land conversion from agriculture to construction is a key tool by which local governments attract investment and raise fiscal revenue. How should local authorities respond to this centralized policy? This paper presents a framework “quantity–quality–productivity–environment” to investigate local governments’ coping strategy and the holistic performance of the RCBF. The empirical study indicated that local jurisdictions placed economic and financial growth first and continued expropriating farmland on a large-scale, including land of high quality, for development. However, impelled by compulsory quotas and supervision from governments at higher levels, local authorities would partly replenish the quantity loss through farmland exploitation, regardless of the quality of the new cropland and the possible environmental impact. Consequently, fast requisition and unqualified compensation undermined the capacity of regional agricultural output. We suggest that the RCBF is not capable of guaranteeing food security, whilst farmland supplementation threatens the local environment.     

Transfer payments from the central government to the local governments and the local governments' efforts on taxation: taking China as an example

The influence of the transfer payments from the central government to the local governments on the local governments' efforts on taxation must be taken into consideration by every country for the design of the transfer payments. Based on the theoretical analysis on the influence of the transfer payments from the central government to the local governments on the local governments'payments, this paper indicates that the local governments'efforts on taxation depends on the demand elasticity of the district for public goods. It increases with the increase of the elasticityλ.Judge the degree of the local government's efforts on taxation by measureλ. After an empirical analysis on the transfer payments from the central government to the local governments from 2000 to 2004, thins paper gets the conclusion that the local governments'efforts on taxation abates with the increase of supporting payments or with the increase of the ratio of transfer payments to local willing public payments. Under specific circumstances, the higher the ratio of transfer payments to the local fiscal expenditure is, the smaller the local governments' efforts on taxation is under the central payments, whereas the higher the local income is, the higher the efforts is under the eentral payments. Based on this. this paper gives the meanmg of its corresponding policies.     

基于政府利益要求及其实现方式的非财务指标关注程度实证研究

从政府角度出发,对政府所关注的反映其利益要求和实现方式信息的非财务指标进行了排序研究和分组研究。研究得出结论:政府对不同类的反映其利益要求和实现方式信息的非财务指标的关注程度存在显著的差异;越是反映政府排列在前的利益要求和实现方式信息的非财务指标越受政府关注。企业对政府相关信息的充分沟通更易取得政府对企业的理解和支持。企业除应按相关法律法规的规定进行规定信息的披露外,还应当根据本企业利益相关者政府对非财务指标关注的需要以及关注程度的差异对政府所关注的非财务指标信息对政府进行充分信息沟通,以满足政府关注相关信息的需要。
