基础设施在中国农业全要素生产率中的作用

This paper uses the Malmquist index to examine the sources of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in Chinese agriculture. The overall goal of this study is to create a framework for assessing the trend of China’s agricultural infrastructure and to measure its impact on Total Factor Productivity. The main methodological contribution is to provide more contributive measure of crop-specific technologies. Based on the province-level panel data set during 1988–2002, the primary finding is that infrastructure has positively and statistically significant association with the estimated coefficient on Total Factor Productivity for rice, wheat, maize, and bean.

中国水土资源对经济的"增长阻尼"研究

根据Romer(2001)模型,每个国家都不可避免会受到水土资源对经济的"增长阻尼"作用,如何定量测度符合中国水土资源特点的经济"增长阻尼",对于宏观水土资源调控目标的制定具有重大战略意义。文章以Romer(2001)模型为分析基础,通过修正前提假设使其更符合中国的水土资源特点,同时,将建设用地加入到土地资源数据中,计量发现水土资源对中国经济的"增长阻尼"为1.18%,是美国的4.92倍,该数据比已有学者计量的结果要小。又通过以下事实的考察,如水土资源在国民收入中的分额正在下降、技术进步、水土资源与其他要素之间的替代弹性大于1,认为水土资源制约对中国经济增长的可能影响至多是中度的。     

中国-东盟高技术行业垂直产业内贸易水平及特征研究

作者通过对中国-东盟的贸易结构及模式的研究,发现中国-东盟之间的贸易模式并不符合发展中国家的一般模式.2005年中国-东盟在HS1996,85类产品的垂直产业内贸易水平高达65%,这与垂直产业内贸易的理论也是不一致的.上述现象是跨国公司在全球范围内进行分工的结果.     

Does support from government help firms survive? Evidence on financial and political assistance in China, 1998–2007

ABSTRACT

Using the National Bureau of Statistics data set over the period 1998–2007, this article examines the dual roles of financial assistance and strong political links on firm survival in China by applying a semi-parametric duration model. We find that generally either financial assistance or strong political links had a positive effect on the likelihood of firm survival. Furthermore, if firms received both types of support from government, their survival rate was around two times as high compared to only receiving a single support. The likelihood of survival depended on the amount of assistance a firm received. We also find firm ownership impacts on its survival pattern. Lastly, China joining the World Trade Organisation (WTO) coincided with (cet. par.) higher firm failure, especially with regard to state-owned firms; however, this period also saw the authorities targeting political and financial help on the ‘better’ firms (especially SOEs) with characteristics likely to increase their chance of survival.     

China–US trade: implications on conflicts

ABSTRACT

In this study, we examine various aspects of China’s trade, the U.S.’ trade, and the bilateral trade between the two countries. The analysis of each aspect has direct and indirect implications on trade conflicts between the two countries. We focus on important factors, such as the growth of trade, import penetration, increased competitiveness of Chinese firms, comparative advantages of Chinese goods, China’s WTO entry and its compliance, and bilateral trade imbalance. While each of the factors can lead to trade frictions, individual factors will not have led to a large-scale trade war. These factors converge within a brief period and thus can be considered the China shock, thereby making other countries’ adjustments to their economic structures difficult. Therefore, trade frictions are inevitable.     

Through trade wars,East Asians finally learning to cooperate with each other?

ABSTRACT

In this paper, I examine the Sino-U.S. trade disputes from less-talked about angles: institutional differences, SOEs, hukou control and contemporary Chinese history. Based on these, I provide suggestions for future cooperation and improvement.     

西方庸俗经济学理论对中国的误导

通过对西方经济学理论庸俗性表现的反思，可得出如下结论：（1）不能割裂个人与社会，个人与国家，个人与集体的联系，而过分宣扬“经济人”或“理性人”的假设；（2）不能割裂经济与政治、意识形态的关系而孤立地研究经济。对于西方经济学理论，不能仅仅研究其理论本身，还应研究其产生的思想和文化背景；不能照搬西方的理论和模式，不能过分倚重或迷信经济数量分析。对于中国的经济问题，必须放在中国的历史、思想、文化、民族心理等这样的大背景下来开展研究和寻求解决途径。     

我国西部生态环境建设绩效评价体系研究

“局部改善,整体恶化”是我国西部地区生态环境状况的真实概括。为了治理西部地区的生态环境,党中央于1999年6月确定了西部大开发战略,将能源开发同生态环境治理并举。6年来,中央财政性建设资金投向西部地区4600亿元,转移支付和专项补助5000多亿元。国家计划在10年间退耕还林2．2亿亩,投资3600亿元。由于生态环境建设的绩效是一个漫长的量变累积过程,通过确定我国西部地区生态环境状况四大特征,建立“常态、一般、差”三级评价指标体系,对西部地区生态环境建设的绩效做出客观评价,有利于坚定人们对西部地区生态环境建设的信心。     

中部农区农户打工地城镇规模类型——以河南省三个样本村为例

对农户打工地城镇规模类型的研究是认识农民工流动规律的重要内容.基于入户调查数据,采用多值逻辑回归模型和有序逻辑回归模型,以河南省三个样本村为例,对中部农区农户打工地城镇规模类型进行了研究.研究发现,农户打工地主要集中于省城、深圳经济特区、乡镇和地级市,而在县城打工的人较少;农户对打工地城镇规模类型的选择与打工距离密切相关;家庭代数、村经济发展水平和关系网络是影响农户打工地城镇规模类型选择的重要因素.     

北方牧区草地资源可持续利用的制度创新研究

我国北方牧区的天然草地发生了严重的退化,引发了一系列生态经济问题。导致草地退化的原因是多方面的, 制度供给不足和滞后是主要的社会经济原因。单纯依靠技术和资金投入治理退化草地,难以从根本上解决问题。应从科学发 展观的视角,通过改革现行草地所有权、使用权,完善草地资源管理制度,构建有助于体现草地资源生态价值的绿色考核体 系,实施有利于牧区发展的生态补偿政策,建立和完善草地利用和保护的激励机制,从而实现草地资源的可持续利用。
