Management and Business Research on Commercial Diplomacy: Examining Trends and Themes

This article reviews the literature of commercial diplomacy during the period 1960–2014 from a management angle and is organized around four major themes: (1) government’s export/trade promotion function; (2) institutional/organizational arrangements; (3) managerial roles and activities; and (4) interaction between commercial diplomats and businesses. A complementary quantitative analysis tracing current research trends reveals the emergence of relevant publications at the end of the 1970s and a real increase after 2000. It also confirms the relative scarcity of commercial diplomacy literature focusing on the business and management dimension. Gaps in current literature are identified, and suggestions for further research are presented.     

高原牧区定位重构与战略转型:川西北证据

川西北高原牧区是我国八大牧区之一。由于自然条件、资源禀赋、基础设施、制度安排等多方面因素,发展较为滞后。川西北高原牧区的发展要从本地区自然环境的多样性出发,走包容多样性和多层次内容的发展道路;要以民生为本,以生态建设为中心,实现经济、政治、社会、文化、生态建设的全面跨越,发展阶段的战略性跨越,对外开放的进一步跨越,探索特色一、二、三产业打通+引领后现代生活方式的城镇和村庄建构的新模式。     

Does the Quality of Institutions Limit the MENA's Integration in the World Economy?

Using a large sample of countries over the 1990s, this paper examines the extent to which institutions’ functioning disables a greater participation of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) in the world economy. It focuses on the impact on manufactured exports and FDI attractiveness and considers a broad index of political risk as well as indices targeted toward specific aspects of governance (corruption, government effectiveness and the rule of law). The results are robust to different econometric approaches and lend strong support to the hypothesis that the functioning of institutions may disable the participation of MENA countries in the world economy. They suggest that the impact of an improvement in the quality of institutions may result in a sensitive increase of FDI inflows and manufactured exports. That increase is comparable to the one resulting from liberalisation policies. Hence, although institutional reforms can take time, they deserve the necessary efforts given their outcomes as compared to other reforms.     

寻求农村集体资产实现的新形式

在社会主义初级阶段，非公有制工业经济在农村经济发展中起着重要作用，这是需要支持和鼓励的。但是，在农村非公有制工业经济已经大面积成长起来的新格局下，农村集体资产和集体工业经济发展的状况和前景如何?这同样值得人们高度关注。集体经济毕竟是中国农民共同富裕的经济基础，而在工农业生产力存在差别的市场经济条件下，农村集体致富不能没有集体工商业经济，土地归集体所有的农民还必须有集体工商业职能资本的积累，才能真正拥有缩小贫富差距、加快共同致富的决定性物质条件。近期，我们到江阴市，对这个问题做了专题调研。     

糖料生产的扶持政策因应:滇省例证

近年来,国内糖料价格连年大涨,但价格上涨并未带动糖料产量增加,国内糖料生产反而连年下滑,食糖产量快速下降,糖价持续高涨,进口食糖量、价均创历史新高,形势较为严峻。对第二大糖料主产区云南省进行的专题调研表明,应通过大力开展甘蔗高产创建活动、积极推广机械化、给予糖料同等支持、加大对境外糖料甘蔗替代种植的支持和进一步完善糖蔗价格联动机制等加大对糖料生产的支持力度。     

Fair Trade Managerial Practices: Strategy,Organisation and Engagement

The number of distributors selling Fair Trade products is constantly increasing. What are their motivations to distribute Fair Trade products? How do they organise this distribution? Do they apply and communicate the Fair Trade values? This research, based on five case studies in Switzerland, aims at understanding and structuring the strategies and the managerial practices related to Fair Trade product distribution, as well as analysing if they denote an engagement with Fair Trade principles. The results show a high heterogeneity of strategies and engagement. In general, strategies implemented by mainstream actors contribute to increase Fair Trade global sales but do not convey the transformative message of Fair Trade through their engagement. The latter is rather communicated through alternative channels. Problems and potential solutions to this issue are discussed.     

中国农民工供给态势与“十二五”时期走向

我国农村劳动力转移已进入总体上仍然过剩,但结构性供求矛盾开始突出,农村劳动力供求关系正从长期供过于求转向总量过剩,结构短缺的新阶段。促进农村劳动力转移仍将是我国中长期的重要任务。十二五以及更长时间内,要做好劳动力转移工作,必须把产业结构优化调整放在重要的位置,坚持发展服务业,有序积极推进农民工市民化工作,进一步增加对农村居民培训的投入,提高农村劳动力的受教育程度和技能水平,进而促进社会和谐发展。     

Understanding Cross-Country Differences in Exporter Premia: Comparable Evidence for 14 Countries

We use comparable micro level panel data for 14 countries and a set of identically specified empirical models to investigate the relationship between exports and productivity. Our overall results are in line with the big picture that is by now familiar from the literature: exporters are more productive than non-exporters when observed and unobserved heterogeneity is controlled for, and these exporter productivity premia tend to increase with the share of exports in total sales; there is evidence in favour of self-selection of more productive firms into export markets, but nearly no evidence in favour of the learning-by-exporting hypothesis. We document that the exporter premia differ considerably across countries in identically specified empirical models. In a meta-analysis of our results we find, consistent with theoretical predictions, that productivity premia are larger in countries with lower export participation rates, with more restrictive trade policies, lower per capita GDP, less effective government and worse regulatory quality, and in countries exporting to relatively more distant markets.

这个称之为家的城市

在济南生活了将近两年时间,我周游了中国和中国周边的一些国家,诸如泰国、老挝、柬埔寨、蒙古等,决定自己该去干点更新鲜的事了。我一直在寻找新的有刺激性的机会使自己振奋起来,现在该是跟济南道别的时候了。但是,无论如何,济南是个很适合生活的安静城市,一个被我称之为“家”的城市,我会永远记住她的。
