Economic Growth and Income Inequality: Evidence from Dynamic Panel Investigation

This paper empirically investigates the effect of income inequality on economic growth using extended panel data covering a broad range of developing and developed countries. We use system generalized method of moments (GMM) techniques in a dynamic panel analysis, which alleviates the possible positive bias in difference GMM due to the persistence of lagged dependent variables as instruments. We find strong evidence of a negative effect on growth from income inequality, which contradicts the findings of Forbes [2000, September. A reassessment of the relationship between inequality and growth, American Economic Review, 90(4), pp. 869–887] and Li and Zou [1998, October. Income inequality is not harmful for growth: Theory and evidence, Review of Development Economics, 2(3), pp. 318–34]. Further analyses using combined Gini coefficients show that the difference can be overall attributed to the problem of omitted control variables and the differences in how the variations in inequality across countries are reflected. We also find that the negative effects of inequality on economic growth can be of great significance when using a sample of less developed countries or more recent inequality data set.

固定资产会计准则与税法差异研究

企业会计准则与税法制定目标与原则的不同导致固定资产会计与税务处理存在诸多差异。这种差异主要表现在固定资产确认、初始计量、后续计量以及处置等方面，并影响企业应纳税所得额和应交所得税的计算，增加企业的财务工作量和税务部门的税务监管难度。建议在尊重差异的基础上，加强会计准则与税法的协调，提高会计处理与税收征管工作的效果和效率。     

How Affirmational versus Negational Identification Frames Influence Uniqueness‐Seeking Behavior

This research tested the proposition that consumers presenting under a negational identification frame are more likely to choose unique products than when they present themselves affirmationally. Study 1 demonstrated this main effect in a real‐choice setting. Study 2 underlined temporary accessibilities to one's desired (undesired) identities when an affirmational (negational) identification frame is adopted. Study 3 further demonstrated that identity valence interacts with identification frames in driving uniqueness‐seeking tendency. Additionally, this effect was found to be mediated by self‐other distinction in Study 4. The research implications for both the “what” and the “how” aspects of identity‐driven consumption are discussed.     

从我国台湾地区纺织业经验看大陆企业转型升级

20世纪90年代,在成本上升和环保要求日趋严格等压力下,我国台湾地区纺织企业纷纷外移,而留守企业则实现了纺织业整体转型升级。通过对我国大陆与台湾地区纺织业的对比研究,结合台湾地区聚阳与宏远两家企业的先进案例认为,要实现转型升级,一是沿着微笑曲线的研发与营销两端延伸以提高附加值,二是通过绿色环保等手段降低单位投入与消耗。最后对我国大陆企业转型升级提出了相关建议。     

鼓励和规范中国企业海外R＆D投资的宏观政策研究

与发达国家相比，中国企业的海外R＆D投资活动起步较晚，不仅规模较小、水平偏低、方式单一，而且在实践中还面临各种各样的困难与障碍，亟需政府的规范和扶持。本文首先对中国企业海外R＆D投资的历史进行了回顾；其次，分析了目前中国企业海外R＆D投资中存在的问题；最后，在借鉴发达国家海外R＆D投资政策的基础上，结合我国实际，提出了鼓励和规范中国企业海外R＆D投资的宏观政策。     

Do leading or lagging firms learn more from exporting?

An interesting theoretical debate arises when considering firm heterogeneity in learning from exporting. One perspective intimates that technologically lagging firms stand to benefit more from exporting because exposure to technological knowledge in foreign markets allows these firms to close the gap with their more technologically endowed counterparts. A contrasting perspective posits that technologically superior firms benefit more from exporting since these firms are better equipped to translate knowledge acquired in foreign markets into innovation. Using a sample of 1,744 Spanish manufacturing firms from 1990–1997, this study empirically investigates how exporting differentially influences the patent output of technologically leading versus technologically lagging firms. We find that exporting is associated with the ex post increase in innovative productivity for both technologically leading and lagging firms. However, subsequent to exporting, technologically leading firms apply for more patents than technologically lagging firms. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
