Fiscal decentralization, revenue and expenditure assignments, and growth in China

Theory suggests that a close match between revenue and expenditure assignments at sub-national levels benefits allocative efficiency, and hence economic growth. That is, a convergence of revenue and expenditure assignments at sub-national levels of government should, according to the theory, be positively associated with a higher growth rate. In the case of China, this paper shows, divergence, rather than convergence, in revenue and expenditures at the sub-national level of government is associated with higher rates of growth. A panel dataset for 30 provinces in China is used to examine the relationship between fiscal decentralization and economic growth over two phases of fiscal decentralization in China: (1) 1979–1993 under the fiscal contract system, and (2) 1994–1999 under the tax assignment system. The seeming contradiction between the theory and evidence in the China case is reconciled by taking into account the institutional arrangements that prevailed during the two phases of fiscal decentralization, in particular the inconsistency between the assumptions of the theory of fiscal decentralization and the institutional reality of China.

我国科技奖励评审制度的法律思考

我国科技奖励制度的法律基础是宪法规定的,科技活动的广泛性、专业性、复杂性要求科技奖励的评审制度在内容上应体现高度的科学性、公正性和权威性,在形式上应集中突显制度化、规范化和程序化.我国现行科技奖励评审制度及立法现状还存在一些问题,完善我国科技奖励评审制度应建立健全法律保障体系,评审过程必须体现社会公认的道德观念和法律规范,对现行的评审体系及评审方法进行改革.     

广西农村居民消费结构数量分析

在对居民消费结构进行定量研究中,扩展线性支出系统模型被广泛采用.运用扩展线性支出系统模型对广西农村居民的消费结构进行数量分析表明：广西农村居民的恩格尔系数呈现明显下降态势,广西农村居民总的边际消费倾向为0.625,广西农村居民各项需求的收入弹性均为正值,说明随着收入水平的提高,需求量随之增加.总之,目前广西农村居民消费水平低下,消费结构不合理.

Discussion of “The Role of Expectations in Explaining the Cross-Section of Stock Returns”

This paper discusses Copeland et al. (2004), which empirically investigates the role of changes in expectations in explaining contemporaneous cross-sectional stock returns. Because the main results in this study are largely confirmatory of results reported in prior literature, my discussion emphasizes conceptual issues in the econometric specification of earnings–return relations. I derive three versions of return specifications from popular valuation models based on residual earnings, free cash flows, or earnings growth, and contrast them with that adopted by Copeland et al. (2004). This analysis suggests that firmer grounding in theory would help the paper in empirical specifications as well as interpretations of results.
