中国省域环境—能源效率空间格局动态演化特征分析

借助窗口分析法,运用DEAP 2.1软件测算出中国各省域环境—能源效率。运用Arc GIS 9.3空间统计软件,采用ESDA与标准差椭圆结合的方法对中国省域环境—能源效率的空间格局演化特征进行分析,发现中国环境—能源效率具有显著的空间自相关性;自2001年以来,中国环境—能源效率热点、次热点区域范围逐渐扩大,冷点、次冷点区域则不断缩小。2000—2012年,中国省域环境—能源效率的标准差椭圆呈现东北—西南方向上的空间分布格局,并逐渐向东—西方向移动,总体上以河南省和湖北省的交界处为中心,范围包括了我国经济和技术相对发达的省域,环境—能源效率重心呈现东北—西北—西南方向的变动趋势。中国省域环境—能源效率空间格局动态演化特征启示政府在"新常态"背景下走绿色、低碳、循环发展道路需要注重空间关联作用,并根据环境—能源效率空间差异演化特征制定差异化的节能减排政策。     

FDI引入对江苏省区域经济增长的影响

江苏省作为中国东部经济发达省份,区位优势明显,一直是外商直接投资的重点地区。外商直接投资不仅增加了江苏省的整体国际贸易数量,为江苏省提供了大量的资金支持,还推动了产业结构的调整和升级,创造很多的就业机会。因此本文选取2004-2016年江苏13个市统计数据,运用Stata软件建立面板数据模型以及静态空间面板模型,研究外商直接投资对江苏区域经济增长的影响。     

外商直接投资对江苏省对外贸易影响的实证分析

文章从江苏省对外贸易的基本情况、江苏省利用外商直接投资的现状等方面入手,研究江苏省对外贸易方面存在的问题,利用江苏省1992年到2011年外商直接投资总量和进出口贸易量的时间序列数据,进行平稳性检验和协整性关系检验,得出外商之间投资对进口贸易起促进作用,外商直接投资对出口贸易存在负面影响。     

制度环境、OFDI与企业全要素生产率进步的空间视角分析

文章基于1999~2007年中国工业企业数据库与商务部境外投资企业名录的匹配数据,利用OP方法核算了工业企业的全要素生产率(TFP),运用固定效应模型和空间面板计量方法,实证研究了母国制度环境、对外直接投资对中国企业和省域TFP的影响。研究结果显示:母国制度环境和对外直接投资有利于提升企业和省域TFP,向OECD国家开展的对外直接投资对企业TFP的提升作用优于非OECD国家,研发加工型对外直接投资效果要优于其他;但在空间相关性上,省域TFP表现出显著的集聚效应,即TFP较强的省份对周围省份的TFP产生负向影响;母国制度环境有利于提升民营企业的TFP;对外直接投资对民营企业和外资企业的TFP有显著正向影响,但无法提升国有企业的TFP。

外商直接投资对苏南地区产业结构影响分析

一、前言改革开放以来,我国经济发展呈现出崭新的面貌。为了经济的快速发展,吸引外商直接投资成为我国对外开放的重要策略。上世纪80年代,外商直接投资在我国开始逐步发展。90年代后,我国对外商直接投资的探索进入新的发展阶段。经过几十年的努力,我国实现了从探索阶段到跨越式发展的突破。江苏省作为我国的经济发展大省,沿海城市众多。从1991年起,江苏省外商直接投资规模已经走向前列,苏南地区的发展更为迅速。因此,分析江苏省苏南地区的外商直接投资情况,对于我国经济发展和促进全球化具有深远的意义。     

江浙两省外商直接投资的动态关系研究

江苏省和浙江省作为长三角地区的两个经济强省,分别位于上海两翼,地域相连、经济相融,两省之间的外商直接投资存在着相互影响、相互作用的动态关系。文章运用动态计量模型,采用模拟冲击法就江浙两省外商直接投资的动态关系进行了实证分析,研究结果表明江苏省外商直接投资增长对浙江省具有较大的溢出效应,而浙江省对江苏省的溢出效应非常小。     

外商直接投资对江苏省产业结构优化影响的实证研究

20世纪90年代以来,江苏省利用外商直接投资的规模和水平得到了迅速的发展。本文应用1999～2008年的样本数据,运用协整分析法和Granger因果关系检验法,实证研究了外商直接投资与江苏省产业结构优化之间的因果关系。实证研究表明,江苏省引进外商直接投资与服务业增加值比重之间存在着长期均衡关系。     

投资动机视角下江苏省对东盟10国直接投资的影响因素研究

基于2007—2020年东盟10国的数据,构建拓展的投资引力模型,实证分析投资动机视角下江苏省对东盟直接投资的影响因素,研究发现江苏省对东盟的直接投资动机最为明显的是成本寻求型,其次是技术寻求型和市场寻求型,最后是资源寻求型,而基础设施也对江苏省对东盟的直接投资产生重要影响。为了更好地促进对东盟10国的投资,江苏省应加快边际产业的转移,同时增加对部分国家基础设施的直接投资,并且优化对东盟国家直接投资的结构。

Taxing Times in Indonesia: The Challenge of Restoring Competitiveness and the Search for Fiscal Space

Indonesia’s economic growth picked up slightly in mid-2016 but remains below the level demanded by government and popular aspirations. Despite a plethora of reforms intended to increase efficiency and productivity, some policies are perverse and longstanding problems of implementation remain. The share of manufacturing has declined, the real exchange rate has appreciated, exports have dwindled, and growth has been trending downwards. The banking sector is stable but inefficient, with wide net interest margins and numerous barriers to competition. Trade protection, particularly in basic food commodities, has created high costs that weigh particularly heavily on the poor. Declining government revenues have placed increasing pressure on the public budget, even as the current administration aims to increase spending on infrastructure and welfare and to enhance productivity. In an effort to increase revenues, the government has announced a tax amnesty program and other measures. In addition, Sri Mulyani Indrawati, the new finance minister, has taken steps to cut non-essential expenditure in order to secure high spending on infrastructure and at the same time keep within the 3% budget deficit limit stipulated by law. Although the overall debt situation is not yet alarming, declining revenues and budget cuts that do not fully reflect this decline are putting pressure on increasing debt levels. The government’s high-profile tax amnesty program was the major policy initiative implemented in the second half of 2016 that aimed to relieve this pressure. Despite widespread criticism of, and scepticism about, the tax amnesty (both within and outside Indonesia), its first phase had a much higher participation rate than most independent accounts expected. Revenues raised so far through the amnesty are less than 60% of the official target, but this is actually a strong result for the short term. The bigger question, however, is whether the amnesty is a key element of a more encompassing strategy to overhaul the system of taxation and tax administration.     

The causes of Japan's ‘lost decade’: The role of household consumption

In this paper, I analyze the causes of the prolonged slowdown of the Japanese economy in the 1990s and find that the stagnation of investment, especially private fixed investment, was the primary culprit. I then investigate the causes of the stagnation of household consumption during the 1990s and find that the stagnation of household disposable income, the decline in household wealth, and increased uncertainty about the future are among the contributing factors. Finally, I consider whether demand side factors or supply side factors were more important as causes of the prolonged slowdown of the Japanese economy in the 1990s and conclude that the former (especially misguided government policies) were probably more important.     

Stature growth in industrializing Argentina: The Buenos Aires industrial belt 1916-1950

A sustained long-term increase in average stature accompanied the process of import-substituting industrialization in the main suburban area of Argentina, the Buenos Aires Conurbano. This gain in net nutrition was attained before the rise to power of a re-distributionist political party: the Peronists. The article also provides evidence of a decline in average heights during the period 1939-1945, which challenges us to revise the traditional wisdom about the impact of World War II and Peronist social policies and its implications for the nutrition and health of children. The new evidence on heights shows also persistent social and regional differences over time that had not been documented before.     

The Transfer of Property Rights from the Public to the Private Sector in Hong Kong: A Critical Assessment

Abstract

The privatization idea may have lost some of its luster in recent years, but it remains relevant in today's socio-economic environment and is pursued consistently in industrialized and industrializing countries alike. Hong Kong has followed the general pattern in a manner reflecting its particular circumstances and its institutional modus operandi. The underlying logic may not appear highly compelling, from a short-term perspective, yet there are sound grounds for approaching the task positively, if viewed from a multi-year standpoint. Rather surprisingly, for such a quintessentially capitalist society, Hong Kong has not confronted the privatization challenge astutely on the political front and has handled it somewhat mechanically in managerial terms. The benefits to the community may have thus been more modest than one could legitimately expect, given the historical backdrop.     

Measuring performance: Ranking state success over two decades in India

This paper proposes new composite measures of relative and dynamic state performance to improve governance and delivery of public programs in developing countries with a federal structure. We illustrate the use of the indices to rank the performance of 19 major Indian states on two large development programs launched by the Indian government over the last two decades using publicly available data. Although we find volatility in performance over time, there exists a positive correlation between measures of initial (administrative) state capacity, development and accountability with program outcomes. Our findings have important implications for both the design and implementation of large-scale public programs across developing countries.
