Personal Income Tax Reform in China in 2018 and Its Impact on Income Distribution

In the context of personal income tax (PIT) reform in China in 2018, this paper examines some of the major issues of concern regarding the reform and income distribution. Using the China Personal Income Tax Micro‐simulation model, the paper compares the differences between the 2011 and 2018 PIT systems, and finds that residents relying on different income sources may face a large degree of real tax rate change. Once the tax system is altered to PIT 2018, the coverage of PIT for wage earners will decrease from 46.9 to 23.4 percent, the income redistributive effect will drop from 1.95 to 1.22 percent and the PIT's role in fiscal revenue will also be negatively affected. Nevertheless, if individual income continues to grow, the share of PIT in fiscal revenue is expected to return to the 2018 level in 2022, but its income redistribution function is difficult to recover in the short term. The paper finds that the effect of PIT on income distribution depends on the tax structure. Gradual transition to an “entirely comprehensive” tax system when conditions are appropriate will achieve better income redistribution results at a lower average tax rate.     

An exploratory study of exclusive dealing in channel relationships

The channel literature has paid little attention to issues related to exclusive dealing governance arrangements. Consequently, there is only limited knowledge about how exclusive dealing impacts various channel processes and outcomes. This gap is especially regrettable since exclusive dealing, in addition to being one of the most commonplace governance formats within the distribution channels, is also one of the best exemplars of viable unilateral governance formats. In this initial investigation, the authors explore the linkages among the constructs of exclusive dealing, relationalism, communication, and performance. Empirical data for the study were drawn from the photocopier industry. He obtained his M.B.A. and D.B.A. degrees from Boston University. His primary research interest includes channels of distribution, franchisor-franchisee relationships, and consumer purchase behavior in international contexts. He has published articles inJournal of Marketing Channels and the proceedings of several marketing conferences. This article was crafted when Rajiv Dant was at Boston University. He received his M.B.A. from Bombay University and his Ph.D. from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. His research focuses on channels of distribution, with primary emphasis on franchise structure, franchisee-franchisor relationships, and public policy aspects of franchising growth and ownership topics. His research has been published inJournal of Marketing, Journal of Public Policy & Marketing, Research in Marketing, Journal of Retailing, Journal of Business Research, Journal of Business Venturing, Journal of the Operations Research Society, Marketing Letters, Journal of Small Business Management, Journal of Economic Psychology, Southern Business & Economics Journal, Philosophical and Radical Thought in Marketing, Journal of Healthcare Marketing, Journal of Marketing Channels, andInternational Small Business Journal.     

南中国海次区域自由贸易区可行性探讨

随着亚洲区域经济合作浪潮的高涨,中国大陆港澳台(以下简称四地)区域经济合作作为其中重要组成部分,日益引起国际关注.四地实质上的相互密切经贸关系为四地实现某种形式的区域经济集团奠定了深厚的基础,但由于四地特殊的政治关系,使得四地经济一体化进程充满坎坷,台湾与祖国大陆甚至至今尚未实现经贸关系正常化.面对因不能深化经济整合而无法产生的政治经济利益,诸多专家学者和爱国人士提出了各种变通或过渡性方案,其中有关推动"南中国海次区域经济合作"的方案是提得最多和最重要的.这类方案形式多样,虽然在区域划分和内容设定上有所不同,但其共同实质是一样的,即在南中国海地区选择一定范围的行政区划(例如:粤港、闽台、粤港澳、闽粤港澳台、闽粤琼港澳台等等),组成某种形式(以契约方式固定)的经济合作体,实行不同于整个国家的独立经贸政策.这种次区域经济合作构想在过去有较多的带有理想化色彩的设计和提法,但近年来被基本锁定在"自由贸易区"的范畴之内.这种构想的目的在于:1.深化区内产业分工和经济合作,加速提升区域国际竞争力;2.整合中国最具经济实力的地区,应对世界经济一体化和亚洲区域经济合作;3.以次区域合作推动整个中国的区域经济一体化,最终达成国家统一.

对商誉的再探讨

商誉是无形资产中最为特殊的组成内容，过去人们封其性质和构成有不同的看法。在知识经济时代的今天，无形资产的性质和范畴认识得到深入，商誉的构成内容与无形资产的泉多组成内容有很多相同之处，商誉的实质就是多项未入账无形资产的总和。商誉的确认与计量问题也就转换为对企业自创无形资产的确认与计量，知识经济下应确认和计量对描述企业财务状况起关键作用的自创无形资产。但在不确定和充满风险的经济环境下，应积极稳妥地确认自创无形资产。自创无形资产的计量可按不同特点选择采用成本基础定价法、市场基础定价法、经济定价法。
