税收优惠政策与高技术产业创新效率

研究目标：分析税收优惠政策对创新效率的影响以及创新效率的收敛性，测度税收优惠政策对创新带来的实际贡献。研究方法：构建随机前沿模型测度高技术产业的创新效率，采用σ收敛和β收敛检验方法检验创新效率收敛性，并采用反事实计量方法测度税收优惠政策对创新带来的实际贡献。研究发现：税收优惠政策对研发效率有显著正影响，对市场转化效率的影响为正但不显著，政策实施后效率分布也更集中；研发效率的收敛主要是由东中西地区内部之间差距的缩小造成的，而市场转化效率的收敛是由三大地区内部差距的缩小以及中西部和东部地区的差距缩小共同造成的；税收优惠政策使研发效率大约上升了8%～10%，带来的创新产出占总产出的比重也一直维持在10%以上。研究创新：从效率水平和收敛性两个角度来定量分析税收优惠政策对创新效率的影响。研究价值：为更好地采取措施提高创新效率和减小地区创新效率差距提供经验证据。     

中国八大城市群互联网金融发展的区域差异分解及收敛性研究

研究目标：揭示长三角城市群、珠三角城市群、京津冀城市群、中原城市群、长江中游城市群、哈长城市群、成渝城市群和北部湾城市群等八大城市群互联网金融发展的区域差异及其收敛性。研究方法：利用2014年3月~2015年12月蚂蚁金服大数据平台公布的城市互联网金融发展指数月度数据,采用Dagum基尼系数及其分解方法对八大城市群互联网金融发展的区域差异进行分解,采用空间面板数据回归模型对σ收敛、β收敛、俱乐部收敛进行检验。研究发现：2014年3月~2015年12月,八大城市群互联网金融发展的总体区域差异呈逐渐下降的趋势,珠三角城市群内部互联网金融发展的差异最大,地区间差异是导致互联网金融区域差距的主要来源,互联网金融发展呈现出典型的σ收敛。研究创新：揭示八大城市群互联网金融发展的区域差异来源,对σ收敛、β收敛、俱乐部收敛进行经验检验。研究价值：对于缩小互联网金融发展的区域差异,促进城市群互联网金融的协同发展具有重要意义。     

中国服务业碳生产率变动的差异及收敛性研究

研究目标：中国服务业碳生产率变动的差异及收敛性。研究方法：采用SBM方向性距离函数和Global Malmquist-Luenberger(GML)指数,对2004~2013年中国服务业分行业的碳生产率进行测算,并对其进行收敛性检验。研究发现：中国服务业碳生产率整体呈增长趋势,技术进步是其增长的主要因素,技术效率并没有发挥出应有的提升服务业碳生产率的作用,利用效率的改善来提高服务业碳生产率增长还有很大的空间。此外,中国服务业碳生产率并没有呈现显著的σ收敛,而绝对β收敛和条件β收敛模型研究表明,中国服务业分行业间的碳生产率总体差异正在逐步缩小。研究创新：将碳生产率的测算及收敛性研究延伸到服务业领域。研究价值：有利于低碳经济背景下服务业碳生产率的提升和节能减碳目标的实现。     

Conditional convergence in US disaggregated petroleum consumption at the sector level

We test for convergence in disaggregated petroleum consumption at the sector level for the United States using the recently proposed GARCH unit root test, suitable for high frequency data. We find evidence of convergence for just over half of the series, including total petroleum consumption in each sector and approximately three quarters of the disaggregated petroleum consumption series in transportation.     

Is growth corrupted or bureaucratic? Panel evidence from the enlarged EU

This article aims at analysing the issue of conditional convergence in the new enlarged European Union (EU) over the period 1995–2012 by means of panel data techniques. We examined the issue of conditional convergence in the enlarged EU giving particular attention to the effects of corruption and bureaucracy on growth controlling for a widely used set of explanatory variables such as investment (domestic and foreign), human capital formation, inflation, general government final consumption and trade openness. Furthermore, we examine if growth responds differently to corruption and bureaucracy in the new EU members by means of two group-specific interaction variables to capture possible different responses to corruption and bureaucracy. The analysis reveals evidence of conditional convergence in the enlarged EU, with investment share, foreign direct investment, human capital, and country openness appearing as robust growth drivers. In contrast, inflation and government consumption rather hamper growth. Furthermore, the effects of corruption and bureaucracy on growth seem to differ across old and new EU members.     

Europe's income convergence and the latest global financial crisis

This paper examines the effects of the 2008 financial crisis on economic growth and convergence across European countries from 1973 to 2012. Employing cross-sectional and dynamic panel data techniques, the results show that the global financial crisis has brought a greater absolute convergence rate rather than divergence, affected richer members more heavily and, presumably, allowed less developed members to recover more quickly. We find evidence that creating the European Union has contributed toward economic growth and convergence; meanwhile, no similar evidence is found concerning the European Monetary Union. Moreover, we present evidence that both the average output per capita and the rate of convergence during the financial crisis fell around 7%.     

循环经济理论视野下的中国制造业与文化创意产业融合模式研究

基于循环经济理论和产业融合理念,探讨了制造业与文化创意产业融合模式的表现形式和实施路径。结果表明,融合模式由基于废物循环的融合模式、基于产品循环的融合模式向基于服务循环的融合模式演进。为此,需要通过税收调节、法律规制、建立产业融合行政管理部门进行体制创新;通过提高技术水平、融合技术平台、调整产业技术结构进行技术创新;通过发挥行业协会、科研院所服务功能,建立服务众包平台和专业化服务公司等方式进行服务创新。     

Measuring a boom and bust: The Sydney housing market 2001–2006

The Sydney housing market peaked in 2003. The period 2001–2006 is, therefore, of particular interest since it captures a boom and bust in the housing market. We compute hedonic, repeat-sales and median price indexes for five regions in Sydney over this period. While the three approaches are in broad agreement regarding the timing of the turning point in the housing market, some important differences also emerge. In particular, we find evidence of sample selection bias in our hedonic and repeat-sales data sets (with the former focusing more on better quality dwellings and the latter more on lower quality dwellings). These sample selection biases could in turn cause bias (in opposite directions) in our hedonic and repeat-sales indexes. Median indexes may likewise be biased as a result of an apparent decline in the average quality of dwellings sold in the latter part of the sample. We also find evidence of convergence in prices across regions during the boom and divergence in the subsequent bust.     

创新价值链视角下的区域创新活动收敛分析

基于创新价值链视角,将我国创新活动分为知识创新、科研创新、产品转化创新3个阶段,运用空间面板收敛模型对各类创新活动进行收敛检验,研究结果显示：①空间自回归因子和扰动项的空间滞后因子对创新增长率有显著正向影响,说明创新水平增长在地区间具有显著的空间效应,存在空间示范效应和外生冲击传递效应,同时空间面板模型拟合效果整体上优于普通面板模型,说明我国创新活动收敛中有必要考虑空间因素;②知识创新和知识转化创新水平存在稳定的绝对β收敛,科研创新水平不存在收敛,通过基尼系数时序图验证了我国科研创新活动存在“马太效应”,另外两类创新活动水平则朝着收敛的趋势发展;③高校资源、市场化水平分别对知识创新和产品转化创新收敛有显著促进作用,信息化水平对三大创新活动收敛都有显著的促进作用。
