东南亚国家联盟与欧盟、北美自由贸易区之比较

东南亚国家联盟现已经成为很有影响的多边经济合作组织.在很多方面,它不同于欧盟、北美自由贸易区这两个区域经济一体化组织.这种差别体现在组织内成员国之间的地缘亲和力、经济优势的互补性、组织的发展历程、组织的运作机制、区外合作模式以及内部关系等方面.     

技术性贸易壁垒的演变趋势及其应对措施

The household preference structure and pricing-to-market in the New Open Economy Macroeconomics models

In this paper, I study three New Open Economy Macroeconomics models to investigate how the assumptions made about the household preference structure and the degree of pricing-to-market affect the model solutions. The first model is a generalized two-country, two-sector model which produces the theoretical ambiguity concerning the state of the economy. The second model simplifies the preference structure and generates the tractable model solutions. The third pricing-to-market model finds that the terms of trade movements depend crucially on the degree of pricing-to-market. The empirical investigation is thus of much interest since theory fails to give a clear prediction.     

发达国家与发展中国家贸易条件比较与实证分析

近二十多年来,各国经济都发生了翻天覆地的变化,贸易条件也随之不断改善。本文根据1981年至2003年的统计数据建立计量回归模型,分析了发达国家和发展中国家贸易条件变化情况,并加以比较,最终得出结论。     

WTO框架下保障措施的起源与演化

保障措施是WTO框架下与反倾销、反补贴并列的贸易救济手段，已成为成员方开放条件下市场准入扩大过程中实施的经济安全阀。本文拟从探寻保障措施产生的制度根源出发，考察其在多边贸易体制框架中的变迁轨迹，分析在GATT期间和WTO成立以来的实施特点，并对保障措施制度的历史演进尝试了一种新经济史学的解释。     

FDI部门流向、Mazumdar假说与经济增长:基于中国数据的实证分析

根据Mazumdar（1996）的观点，贸易增长机制的发生取决于一国的贸易结构：进口资本品出口消费品将降低资本品价格和折旧率，从而加速资本积累并促进经济增长。围绕这一问题，本文认为．Mazumdar的贸易增长机制能否发挥作用依赖于一国所吸引的FDI的部门流向，FDI流向资本品生产，将减少资本品进口和降低资本品价格并改善一国贸易条件，这时折旧率的降低在更大程度上促进经济增长。Mazumdar假说才得以成立；FDI流向消费品生产，将强化消费品出口并相对恶化一国贸易条件。从而抵消了资本品价格的下降带来的好处。运用中国数据和VAR模型检验。结果显示：中国的贸易结构符合Mazumdar的观点。却没有对经济增长产生显著影响。原因之一在于FDI主要流向劳动密集型消费品生产和加工贸易型机电产品生产，使得FDI所带来的贸易条件相对恶化效应大于资本品价格下降效应。     

The Technology Innovation System in Japan

In recent years, many pieces of the Japanese puzzle have been identified and described as lessons for Western businessmen to learn. But the pieces are part of an interlocking system and to understand the role of each piece, it's necessary to see the whole. In the Japanese technology innovation system there are many parts—companies, universities, research institutes, government—and the way they are put together is the subject of this article by Joseph MacDowall. He points out some very unique characteristics about the way the system works. But he also points out some characteristics that are very much Western in origin. This article is based on the personal observations of the author, made during in-depth discussions he held during site visits to over 20 industrial plants or to their research and development laboratories, 25 government research institutes, and at least eight Japanese universities. During the four years he lived in Japan, Mr. MacDowall participated in discussions on the subjects of research, technology, work life, and Japanese culture.     

Trade diversion and declining tariffs: evidence from Mercosur

This paper empirically examines the alternative posed by Richardson [J. Intern. Econ. 34 (1993) 39] to the traditional view that trade integration may exacerbate inefficiencies. Richardson's hypothesis boldly predicts that trade diversion (and trade creation) may actually cause tariffs to decline! The hypothesis is fundamentally attributable to the presence of a political component in the governments' objective functions. A cross-sectionally rich data set on trade and tariffs from the Mercosur-pact countries, primarily Argentina, is used. The evidence yields surprising conclusions about the validity of endogenous tariff determination in models of trade integration.     

论天山南北坡外贸与经济的协调发展

外贸是拉动经济增长的动力之一，天山南北坡经济带外贸近年保持快速发展并在新疆外贸中占有举足轻重的地位，但由于未发挥地方资源及产业优势，故对地方经济增长拉动性不强，而解决措施在于建立立足资源优势的农业和林果业、工业，将天山南北坡建设成加工贸易的生产基地并加快利用高科技对传统产业的改造。     

社区性农户资金互助兴起的原因及其正面效应

农户资金互助对于农村金融体制改革、推进产业结构调整、增加农民收入、加速城市化进程、密切干群关系等具有积极的推动作用。它的迅速兴起、顺利运作的原因是，能充分利用社区内信息，多方共赢增进了社会福利，制度设计与目标成员的需求相一致。但这种资金互助组织也有一定的局限性，故应正确对待之。
