社会医疗保险费用控制方案的系统动力学模拟

针对我国现行的统账结合的医疗保险制度,本文首次建立了模拟社会医疗保险体系运转的系统动力学模型,并以提高医疗保险制度的效率、有效控制成本为前提对各种费用控制的改革方案进行了模拟和比较分析,为医疗保险体系的进一步改革提出了切实可行的建议。     

基本医疗卫生制度下政府卫生支出及公平性研究

在基本医疗卫生体制中,基本医疗卫生服务的范围是按照基本医疗保险确定的,医疗保险支付是按照居民的基本医疗卫生服务的需求量决定的,高收入者比低收入者享有更高的医疗保险,对基本医疗服务的需求更大,也获得更多的医疗保险补贴。随着政府卫生支出中医疗保障支出比重的增加,医疗服务的公平性却降低了。     

基于DEA模型的地方公共文化财政支出绩效评价——以青岛市为例

提高公共文化服务水平是地方政府加强财政管理的重要内容之一,评价地方公共文化财政支出绩效成为促进文化事业发展的关键。近年来,青岛市地方公共文化财政支出规模不断上升,但与市域范围内基本公共文化服务均等化要求相比尚有一定差距,亟需进行地方公共文化财政支出的绩效评价。DEA模型实证分析结果表明:青岛市公共文化财政支出的综合技术效率不高,公共文化资源供给能力存在较大提升空间;规模效率呈下降趋势,公共文化财政投入能力尚未达到最佳;纯技术效率上下波动,公共文化财政支出服务能力缺乏稳定性。鉴于此,建立多元化的公共文化资金来源机制、形成公共文化财政投入的稳定增长机制、完善相关财政资金绩效考核机制成为当前青岛市提高地方公共文化财政支出绩效的客观选择。     

信息时代组织协调新特点研究

今天所发生的信息技术革命,不是由生产的变化驱动的,而是由协调的变化驱动的。所以必须分析和了解集中化与分权化的矛盾、信息技术对组织结构的影响、不同环境对协调的影响、组织协调的阻碍因素、规范价值和组织文化的协调、从上级协调到团队协调的特点。

Fiscal decentralization and government size: The role of democracy

This paper examines how the level of democracy in a country affects the relationship between fiscal decentralization and government size. We argue that political regimes, proxied by their democracy levels, are important for different decentralization theories to predict the impact of fiscal decentralization on government size. We test this argument using panel data from 76 developed and developing countries during 1972–2013. We find strong and robust evidence that fiscal decentralization is negatively associated with government size and that a higher level of democracy tends to mitigate the negative impact of fiscal decentralization. Therefore, our study contributes to the literature by offering a novel insight on mixed results regarding the relationship between fiscal decentralization and government size in the literature.     

人口结构与地方政府义务教育公共支出——基于中国省级面板数据的研究

利用我国2007-2011年间31个省市地区的平衡面板数据,从供给和需求两方面出发实证分析我国义务教育公共服务支出影响因素。在影响供给的因素讨论中,考察了财政收入、财政分权程度、转移支付、政府竞争力等因素。在影响需求的因素讨论中,探讨了人口自然与非自然结构,人口家庭结构对义务教育公共服务需求的影响。最后将我国分为东部、中部、西部三个地区,进一步剖析我国义务教育公共服务支出影响因素的区际差异。     

The non-inclusive nature of ‘all inclusive’ economics: Paradoxes and possibilities of the resort complex

The ‘All Inclusive’ (AI) concept has revolutionized package hospitality services and captured the attention of many industry stakeholders. Scholars have mostly investigated AI from the marketing perspective, whereas the economic ramifications of this type of product, for both hospitality operators and local communities, are still a barren landscape. Using a mixture of quantitative analysis techniques, including a two-step cluster analysis and econometric modeling, the study aims to enhance our conceptual capital pertaining to the economic impact of AI for local communities. The study focuses on overall tourists' spending, both within and outside their accommodation, with expenditure segmented into seven study-specific categories that highlight the economic specificities of AI. Findings, of interest to industry stakeholders, revealed the problematic and ambiguous status of AI provision in Cyprus, whereas actions, espousing the principles of cluster theories, that could maximize the economic contribution of AI to local economies are suggested.     

New development: Fiscal reform in South Korea: looking back and moving forward

ABSTRACT

At first glance, it seems that South Korea’s three fiscal systems (mid-term expenditure framework, top-down budgeting, and performance management) function well. However, each fiscal system operates separately and they are inefficient because they follow past practices. This article explains what the problems are and how to overcome them.
