自贸区背景下绿色航运发展探析

近年来,我国航运业景气度极度低迷.上海建设自贸区,其与航运的关联无疑成为航运业关注的焦点.自贸区建设为航运业发展带来新的发展机遇的同时,也给其带来新一轮的挑战.面对更高层级的开放,更激烈的竞争,以及国际社会的压力,绿色航运是大势所趋.航运业应借助自贸区建设的东风,积极调整结构,转变发展方式,按照合作、和谐、生态的要求,走绿色航运发展道路.政府和各类航运主体要发挥自身的作用,为推进绿色航运做出自己的贡献.     

Performance of French intensive care units: A directional distance function approach at the patient level

By using a novel adaptation of the free-disposable hull analysis of productivity, we assess the medical and technical efficiency of patient care in 25 Parisian intensive care units (ICUs) during 2000. The robust free disposable hull (RFDH) as defined by [Cazals et al., 2002. Nonparametric frontier estimation: a robust approach. Journal of Econometrics 106, 1–25] reduces the impact outliers may have on findings by employing Monte-Carlo techniques and repeated sample selection. Among our key findings, there was no overall significant correlation between medical and technical efficiencies for all the ICUs, therefore performing well in one does not guarantee good performance in the other. We also found that over 80% of inefficiency is concentrated in less than 20% of the sampled patients.

A COMMENT ON MARKET FREE LUNCH AND FREE LUNCH

Frittelli (2004) introduced a market free lunch depending on the preferences of the agents in the market. He characterized no arbitrage and no free lunch with vanishing risk in terms of no market free lunch (the difference comes from the class of utility functions determining the market free lunch). In this note we complete the list of characterizations and show directly (using the theory of Orlicz spaces) that no free lunch is equivalent to the absence of market free lunch with respect to monotone concave utility functions.     

The Race to Connect East Asia: An Unending Steeplechase

East Asia has become more integrated as a region over the past quarter century. In looking ahead, this article identifies five central obstacles to further regionalism. Three address the composition of any future East Asian region: the arenas in which cooperation is sought, the geographic scope of any future region, and the extent to which regional ties are formalized. The other two variables will influence the future regardless of how the first three are resolved: the structure and balance of domestic political forces, and leadership. The complex interactions of these five are then examined in the recent moves toward preferential trade pacts, increased regional monetary and financial cooperation, and security.     

The Free Cash Flow Anomaly Revisited: Finnish Evidence

Abstract:  This paper examines the performance of an investment strategy based on free cash flows using financial statement data of Finnish companies during the period 1992-2002. The analysis in this paper is motivated by the so-called free cash flow anomaly previously documented e.g. in Hackel, Livnat and Rai (2000) . Using annual financial statement information, we identify large-capitalization companies with positive free cash flows, low free cash flow multiples, and low financial leverage. Since a portfolio of these companies is found to consistently outperform the market index, our results suggest that the free cash flow anomaly also exists in the Finnish stock market.     

劳动时间观念与马克思三大社会形态理论的历史生成

回溯马克思关于三大社会形态理论的历史生成,可以发现马克思三大社会形态的本质差别在于对劳动时间的关心程度不同.中国现代化运动的终极理想就是实现社会中现实的个人对劳动时间的关注,以及通过占有自由劳动时间而达到个人的全面自由发展.显然,这不仅仅是一个中国现代化运动过程中的理论视域内的问题,更是一个实践问题.     

欧盟关于人员自由流动的立法特点及其启示

欧洲联盟内部人员自由流动,同商品、服务和资本的自由流动一起,构成了欧洲经济一体化的基本内容.人员在成员国之间自由流动,直接冲击成员国现行的经济、社会等制度,因此往往遭遇障碍和歧视.欧盟从建立时起,就注重对人员自由流动的法律调整,并形成了自己鲜明的立法特点.我国正处于城市化的高潮时期,人员流动正迅速发展.我们应该借鉴欧盟的经验,加强人员流动方面的立法,以确保人员流动有序进行,促进改革开放的健康、和谐发展.     

Corporate Rights to Free Speech?

Although the courts have ruled that companies are legal persons, they have not yet made clear the extent to which political free speech for corporations is limited by the strictures legitimately placed upon corporate commercial speech. I explore the question of whether or not companies can properly be said to have the right to civil free speech or whether corporate speech is always de facto commercial speech not subject to the same sorts of legal protections as is the right to civil free speech. In the absence of clearly defined legal precedent, I emphasize moral reasons for determining the appropriate limits of corporate civil free speech. Appealing to arguments typically used to justify individual rights to civil free speech, I examine the extent to which this sort of justification may or may not be legitimately extended to corporations. I conclude that corporate rights to civil free speech must be restricted because granting rights of free speech to institutions may, in practice, undermine the moral rationale and practical feasibility of guaranteeing rights of civil free speech to individuals. Furthermore, I argue that granting corporations full rights to civil free speech will undercut attempts to develop good moral character in corporate institutions by undermining the efforts of watchdog organizations.
