The Recognition and Timing of Deferred Tax Liabilities

Abstract:   This paper examines the characteristics of firms that account for deferred tax liabilities related to government investment grants under an extended adoption timing period. Not only the recognition but also the timing decision is associated with changes in future performance and changes in the debt structure. Recognisers outperform non‐recognisers in the future, while early recognition is related to post recognition performance but only for those firms that currently perform well. Changes in the balance sheet structure are also related to both decisions. Firms with recent increases in the debt level tend to postpone recognition, while currently well‐performing firms that increase their future debt level are less likely to recognise deferred taxes.     

China''''s Cooperative Exploration of Oil and Gas and Its Taxation System

China' s foreign-oriented oil taxation system has, from the beginning, been based upon the positive experiences of other oil-producing countries and has incorporated common international practices. The system has been perfected over decades. It of fers more incentives than other oil-producing countries in the following four aspects: (1) Income tax has a "wide tax base and low tax rate"; (2) VAT levies a low tax rate on ma-     

Tari–tax reforms and market access

Reducing taris and increasing consumption taxes is a standard IMF advice to countries that want to open up their economy without hurting government finances. Indeed, theoretical analysis of such a tari–tax reform shows an unambiguous increase in welfare and government revenues. The present paper examines whether the country that implements such a reform ends up opening up its markets to international trade, i.e. whether its market access improves. It is shown that this is not necessarily so. We also show that, comparing to the reform of only taris, the tari–tax reform is a less efficient proposal to follow both as far as it concerns market access and welfare.     

我国矿业税收的绿色化

矿业税收的绿色化是指矿业税收改革时应有利于环境保护和矿业的可持续发展。我国矿业税收中已有一些绿色化的规定,但也还存在一些问题。为促进资源节约利用和环境保护,实现我国矿业税收的绿色化,有必要将绿色化原则作为制定矿业税收的基本原则,对现行矿业所得税、矿产资源税、增值税等进行改革。     

收入流动性、代际传递与农村反贫困———异质性视角下新疆30个贫困县的实证分析简

文章从收入流动性、贫困代际传递与反贫困关系的理论研究入手,利用2000—2012年数据,选取新疆30个贫困县为研究主体,运用面板模型和面板误差修正模型分析了三者之间的长期和短期动态关系。研究发现：（1）从长期看,收入流动性、贫困代际传递对反贫困有显著作用,且收入流动性对反贫困的促进作用依赖于该县的贫困水平;（2）短期而言,新疆30个贫困县的收入流动性、贫困代际传递对反贫困的效果存在异质性。因此,建议制定以提高收入流动性和减少贫困代际传递为目标的对策和机制,并注重实行差异化措施来达到反贫困效果。     

Environmental tax policy in a model of growth cycles

Summary. The purpose of this paper is to consider environmental taxation which would control emissions of firms in a model of growth cycles. In the model presented below, the economy may experience two phases of growth and environmental quality: “the no-innovation growth regime” and “the innovation-led growth regime”. Aggregate capital and environmental quality remain constant in the no-innovation growth regime, while they perpetually increase in the innovation-led growth regime. The paper shows that the tax plays a key role in determining whether the economy stably converges to one of the two regimes or fluctuates permanently between them. It also shows that there is a critical level of the tax and that the economy obtains higher growth rates of capital and environmental quality by raising (or reducing) the tax if the initial tax is below (or above) the critical level.

“一保一控”政策背景下的房地产业发展研究

在未来一段时期,我国经济要实现“一保一控”的宏观调控目标,扩大内需是关键。国际经验表明,每一次的房价大幅度下降,都可能伴随着消费的停滞和经济的衰退。政府的宏观调控,既要有利于避免房价大幅上涨带来泡沫,也要防止房地产市场的过度波动对宏观经济稳定的冲击。因此,防止我国房地产业出现“大落”,应包含在“一保一控”宏调政策的内容之中。     

政府公务员与企业职工工资比较方法研究——基于美国联邦政府的案例分析

随着社会经济水平的提高,公务员的工资水平也需要及时进行调整。由于公务员工作性质的特殊性,其工资调整机制必须综合考虑多方面情况进行慎重论证。美国政府通过采用公务员与企业职工工资水平进行比较的方法对公务员工资进行调整,经过实践证明是具有可操作性的方法。文章在充分研究美国政府公务员工资调整机制的基础上,结合目前我国公务员工资调整中存在的问题及难点,提出我国政府管理者在制定公务员工资政策时需要参考的方面。     

住宅房地产税收的功能探析

住宅房地产在购销及保有环节涉及众多的税种,这些税种的税收功能存在突出差异。营业税具有突出的财政收入功能,但在收入调节方面有制度上的缺失;土地增值税具有鲜明的产业调控色彩,但征收办法的缺憾使其不能有效发挥作用;预期征收的房产税具有调节收入的功能,但在税制设计上存在征收制度和利益分配重构等制度困扰。建议针对相关税种的功能特点进行有针对性的制度改良,以促进我国住宅房地产业的健康发展。
