产品内分工视角下中美贸易失衡中的贸易利益研究

中美双边贸易中中方的巨额贸易顺差是否使中方获得了同样的贸易利益,一直是中美两国争论的焦点问题之一。本文在产品内分工框架内,构建了双边贸易利益分配的理论模型,使用面板协整对1997-2009年中美双边8个主要制造业部门的贸易利得进行实证分析。结果表明,美国依靠比较优势和垄断优势占据了产品价值链两端高附加值环节,而中国承担低附加值的中间环节;中美贸易失衡背后的利益流向并没有与贸易差额一致,中国在中美产品内贸易中获利微薄。因此,我国应该努力提升产业结构,提高自主创新能力,力求锁定在附加值高的环节,以赢得更多的国际贸易利益。     

加工贸易视角下中美工业贸易隐含碳研究：国别排放与全球效应

本文基于加工贸易视角,区分国内与进口中间投入,构建贸易隐含碳模型,从工业整体及行业角度分析了1998—2009年度中关工业贸易隐含碳的国别排放情况,并基于全球视角分析了中关贸易的全球净效应。结果显示：中国对美工业贸易始终处于隐含碳净出口状态,2001年之后（净）出口隐含碳增幅尤其明显,其中化学、机械、纺织业是隐含碳净出...     

服务型跨国公司全球模块化与服务业国际转移及其对中国的启示

日趋激烈的全球竞争迫使服务型跨国公司必须更加高效地整合全球资源,增强全球竞争力和创新能力。全球模块化为服务型跨国公司实现这一目标提供了重要路径,也在客观上有力地推动了服务业国际转移。本文首先进行了相关理论综述;然后分析了服务型跨国公司实施全球模块化的可行性;接着阐释服务型跨国公司全球模块化是如何发展及其如何推动服务业国际转移,并选取国际快递业作为新样本行业进行理论检验;最后,对中国服务企业应该如何运用全球模块化来更好地承接服务业国际转移或整合全球战略性服务资源提出相关政策建议。     

日本全球变暖对策基本法案解析——解读日本减排25%

2010年3月,日本政府在内阁会议上决议了将温室气体排放量在2020年较1990年减少25%为核心内容的<全球变暖对策基本法案>,提交至国会审议.该法案无论是减排目标还是具体政策措施,与过去相比激进和果断许多,在日本国内引起了轩然大波.由于反对和猜疑的声音一直不绝于耳,该法案能否获准尚不明朗.本文就该法案的主要争论点及背景做全面阐述,并对其前景做一展望,以期有助于了解日本围绕减排的各种主张.     

A short history of global inequality: The past two centuries

Using social tables, we make an estimate of global inequality (inequality among world citizens) in early 19th century. We then show that the level and composition of global inequality have changed over the last two centuries. The level has increased reaching a high plateau around 1950s, and the main determinants of global inequality have become differences in mean country incomes rather than inequalities within nations. The inequality extraction ratio (the percentage of total inequality that was extracted by global elites) has remained surprisingly stable, at around 70% of the maximum global Gini, during the last 100 years.     

Assessing time-varying stock market integration in Economic and Monetary Union for normal and crisis periods

In this paper, we examine the stock market integration process amongst 17 Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) countries from January 2002 to June 2013 over a normal period as well as for the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and Eurozone Debt Crisis (EDC) periods. We classify the economies in three groups (A, B and C) based on their GDP to examine whether the economic size influences financial integration. Seven indicators are used for the purpose, namely, beta convergence, sigma convergence, variance ratio, asymmetric DCC, dynamic cointegration, market synchronisation measure and common components approach. The results suggest that large-sized EMU economies (termed as Group A) exhibit strong stock market integration. Moderate integration is observed for middle-sized EMU economies with old membership (termed as Group B). Small-sized economies (termed as Group C) economies seemed to be least integrated within the EMU stock market system. The findings further suggest presence of contagion effects as one moves from normal to crisis periods, which are specifically stronger for more integrated economies of Group A. We recommend institutional, regulatory and other policy reforms for Group B and especially Group C to achieve higher level of integration.     

Do global airline alliances influence the passenger's purchase decision?

This study examines the influences of airline global alliances on the purchase intention of international air passengers in Taiwan. The findings indicate positive relationships between global airline alliances, brand equity, brand preference and purchase intention with a moderation effect of involvement impacting on the relationship between global airline alliances and brand equity, and the relationship between brand preferences and purchase intention. In particular, for highly involved passengers, the effect of global airline alliances on brand equity, and brand preference on purchase intention, is significant.     

Beliefs and rationalizability in games with complementarities

We propose two characteristics of beliefs and study their role in shaping the set of rationalizable strategy profiles in games with incomplete information. The first characteristic, type-sensitivity, is related to how informative a player thinks his type is. The second characteristic, optimism, is related to how “favorable” a player expects the outcome of the game to be. The paper has two main results: the first result provides an upper bound on the size of the set of rationalizable strategy profiles; the second gives a lower bound on the change of location of this set. These bounds are explicit expressions that involve type-sensitivity, optimism, and payoff characteristics. Our results generalize and clarify the well-known uniqueness result of global games (Carlsson and van Damme, 1993). They also imply new uniqueness results and allow us to study rationalizability in new environments. We provide applications to supermodular mechanism design (Mathevet, 2010b) and information processing errors.     

征信体系的作用与效率——基于信息不对称随机有限重复博弈的分析

征信体系的意义可以用重复博弈理论来加以解释.本文建立了一个信息不对称随机有限重复信用博弈模型,证明如果存在征信体系实现的信息共享机制,那么不论借款者的类型是什么,诚实守信是可以作为序列均衡的结果在有限重复博弈的绝大多数时期中出现的.如果不存在信息共享机制,信贷市场有可能消失,即便引入资产抵押,信贷市场仍是不完全的.基于上述序列均衡分析,本文进一步阐释了全面征信、法律保障、市场结构对征信体系效率运行的重要性.就发展中国家而言,成立中性、独立、信息全面的国家信用局和鼓励民营信用公司积极竞争,完善义务征信的法律体系是较为理想和可行的选择
