The Familiar Face of the State: Affect,Emotion and Citizen Entitlements in Dehradun,India

Municipal Councillors (MCs) are the ‘familiar face of the state’ in Dehradun, India: the first port of call for citizens seeking to claim entitlements from the state. The way MCs respond to the requests of their constituents is a major factor in the uneven distribution of government welfare and services. This article seeks to contribute to understandings of citizen entitlements by drawing attention to the role of affect and emotion in shaping the interactions between MCs and voters. I examine the ways citizens consciously or unconsciously engender emotions and affective responses, and the effect these have in mobilizing MCs. Attention to the, at times, involuntary nature of these responses suggests a need to go beyond the instrumental and calculating motivations of municipal councillors, to consider the way they are compelled and animated to meet the demands of some citizens, but not of others. The capacity to affect, and the ways one is affected, are tied to the social identities and self-making projects of both the MC and the voter, resulting in an uneven (mal)distribution of state resources. A focus on affective configurations in urban governance thereby reveals heretofore overlooked determinants of unequal access to urban resources and services.     

美国市政债券偿债机制经验及启示

美国市政债券从发行策略、资金用途、偿债来源、举债控制和债务重组五个方面构建完备的偿债机制。我国地方政府应借鉴美国的经验,根据资金用途发行债券以减少偿债风险,开征房产税作为债券偿还的稳定来源,通过立法和社会监督建立地方政府发债的硬约束,通过地方政府破产程序建立地方政府债务重组机制,把地方政府负债作为政绩考核的重要指标,抑制地方政府发债的道德风险。     

城市污水处理行业的激励性价格管制

本文在借鉴雪理佛和巴杰夫特提出的区域间比较竞争模型基础上,引入利润率和质量系数,构建了两阶段污水处理区域间比较竞争定价模型,主要运用数据包络分析方法确定标杆企业,以促进污水处理企业之间的比较竞争。并以浙江省污水处理行业为例,运用聚类分析方法对污水处理企业的异质性进行区分与分类,对典型的污水处理企业进行价格测算,为污水处理行业实行激励性价格管制提供理论依据。

山东省农业可持续发展能力评价研究--基于非整秩次WRSR

根据包含3个一级指标、6个二级指标和30个三级指标的评价体系,使用均方差赋权法和非整秩次WRSR,对山东省17个地市的农业可持续发展能力进行评价和分档分析,结果表明：青岛、德州和潍坊处于强势区,日照和莱芜处于弱势区,而其他地市处于中档区;各市农业可持续发展能力与其一二级指标之间都存在显著相关关系。因此,处于强势区的三地市应从二三级指标入手重点提升相对较弱的指标,保持竞争优势;处于弱势区的两地市以及处于中档区末位的东营和枣庄两地市,应通过优化资源配置和发展多功能农业来探寻农业可持续发展能力提升的突破口;处于中档区的其他十地市应充分利用其个别优势指标寻求农业可持续发展能力的突破,并重点提升部分劣势指标。     

Do Rating Agencies Benefit from Providing Higher Ratings? Evidence from the Consequences of Municipal Bond Ratings Recalibration

We ask whether credit rating agencies receive higher fees and gain greater market share when they provide more favorable ratings. To investigate this question, we use the 2010 rating scale recalibration by Moody's and Fitch, which increased ratings absent any underlying change in issuer credit quality. Consistent with prior research, we find that the recalibration allowed the clients of Moody's and Fitch to receive better ratings and lower yields. We add to this evidence by showing that the recalibration also led to larger fees and to increases in the market shares of Moody's and Fitch. These results are consistent with critics’ concerns about the effects of the issuer‐pay model on the credit ratings market.
