制度环境、技术复杂度与空间溢出的产业间非均衡性

制度环境作为约束区际互动的因素对于经济空间关联具有不可忽视的影响。本文系统地构建了空间溢出影响产业演化的路径体系,探索制度环境导致空间溢出产业间非均衡性的作用机制,以剖析制度影响区际经济关联的微观基础。基于中国地级地区4位数制造业的实证研究表明,地区间会通过“水平关联”“技术关联”与“投入产出关联”三条路径实现空间溢出,但受到制度环境的调节,较差的制度环境会削弱溢出效应。制度环境通过信任机制影响区际互动,对于不同溢出路径具有差异性的调节作用。技术关联和投入产出关联溢出依赖于企业间的密切互动,显著受到制度环境的调节;水平关联溢出并不一定依赖于企业间互动,受制度环境的调节作用较弱。高技术复杂度产业的发展更加依赖于具有密切技术相关性和投入产出关系的企业间协同机制,因而要求优越的制度环境支持,由此,在制度环境影响下,空间溢出在不同技术复杂度的产业间表现出非均衡性。本文结论暗含“产业促进政策悖论”:致力于促进本地发展的政策很可能因为扭曲制度环境反而成为制约发展的因素。中国推进转型发展与区域协同创新需要降低区际经济互动的交易成本,设计和建设规则透明、信息畅通、政策公平的正式制度是重点之一。     

Private agricultural research in Asia

Agricultural research in South and South-east Asia was started by a mix of private companies, commodity groups and governments. In the 1960s and 1970s, government research increased rapidly, commodity groups declined in importance and there were signs of private research growth. Recently, the increased demand for modern inputs and changes in government policy provide greater incentives for private research, but first they have to resolve a number of issues about the role private research should play in their societies.     

公司治理合约的制度基础、演进机理与治理效率

最优公司治理合约是人们在给定局限条件下理性选择的结果。社会制度基础就是公司治理合约选择的给定局限条件。社会制度基础主要影响产权界定类型和界定效率，进而决定包括内生交易费用和外生交易费用在内的总交易费用以及交易效率，导致人们所选择的公司治理合约形式不同。特殊关系治理合约和普遍关系治理合约是两种典型的治理合约形式，其内生和外生交易费用的值不同。内生和外生交易费用是相互替代的，科学选择治理合约形式可以有效降低总交易费用。社会制度基础发生变化，最优的治理合约形式也将随之发生相应变化。而制度演化具有明显的路径依赖特征，简单模仿他国的经验是不可取的。     

Growth of agricultural protection in East Asia

Japan is well known for its restrictions on food imports. Less well known is the fact that South Korea and Taiwan are also protective of their agricultural sectors. This protectionism began early this century when all three countries were part of the Japanese Empire, and it has increased rapidly during the 1960s and 1970s. Today, food prices in East Asia average two or three times higher than in international markets, reflecting levels of protection that rival those in Western Europe.     

制度的数学模型与制度设计的两个基本准则

本文根据制度的一般定义，建立了制度描述的一个数学模型，即制度可用行为集中的一条封闭曲线来描述，在此基础上，论述了制度边界的存在及其数学描述，根据对待制度边界的态度，区分了积极型和保守型两类经济系统。提出了制度设计和制度安排应遵循的两个基本准则，即制度应在行为集X中明确区分出可行集与不可行集，制度设计应尽量减小制度边界，使之趋近于零。     

网络参与者的租金来源与实现途径

网络合作虽然可以产生协同协应,但并非所有参与者都能够从中获取均等收益。本文从网络参与者的角度分析了其从网络合作中的获益,认为参与者的租金主要来源于共有租金和私有租金两个方面,具体细分为可占用的共有租金、内部准租金和溢入租金净值三种类型。这三类租金的实现与参与者所拥有的资源基础和资源属性密切相关,可占用的共有租金是网络参与者通过资源交换、联合、共享而创造的共有租金在不同参与者之间分配的结果;内部准租金和溢入租金净值是参与者的私有资源(或非共享资源)产生的独有的、不与其他参与者分享的私有租金,私有租金的实现也与网络合作密不可分。     

Real options and MNE strategies in Asia Pacific

Asia Pacific offers a lot of promising growth opportunities, but it also presents high levels of uncertainty for multinational enterprises (MNEs). In this paper, we introduce real options theory as a theory of investment under uncertainty, and we discuss its implications for MNEs and their strategies with a focus on the emerging economies in Asia Pacific. We suggest that MNEs must recognize the various sources of uncertainty, as well as the various options embedded in their investments, and real options theory can help them structure and design their investments to benefit from uncertainty. In particular, MNEs need to develop the dynamic capabilities of managing real options in their investments to respond to the evolving economic and institutional environment in the region. This paper also provides several implications for policy makers in Asia Pacific to stimulate investment activities in the region and to help their firms venture successfully in the international market place.

Business groups in East Asia: Post-crisis restructuring and new growth

Business groups played an important role in the economic development of East Asian countries. Yet business groups in East Asia face an uncertain future. Following the Asian Crisis, foreign creditors and investors have demanded that business groups have more transparent operations and stronger corporate governance. At the same time, as governments in East Asia have loosened trade barriers, business groups have become subject to intense competition in domestic markets. This paper argues that business groups can survive or even prosper by taking initiatives in corporate restructuring. This paper also highlights some areas for further research on business groups in this region.

Prospects for food demand and supply in Central Asia

Central Asia has experienced massive economic and social shocks during the past decade following the dissolution of the former Soviet Union. Demand for cereals, particularly for staple cereals and meats, has fallen significantly even as production and productivity have plummeted. Although agricultural reforms were launched in 1991, the performance of the agricultural sector has been weak across the region. Prospects for food security in Central Asia appear mixed. Projections indicate that a growing and urbanizing population in Central Asia with rising incomes will increase demand for cereals by 32% between 1995 and 2020 to reach 24 million tons, and for meat by 47% to reach 2.9 million tons. Improvements in crop productivity will be essential to meet the increases in demand projected for the region. Cereal production is forecast to keep pace with demand such that Central Asia will be virtually self-sufficient in cereals. However, national food self-sufficiency or food security does not necessarily translate into household or individual food security. Moreover, self-sufficiency comes with a high price-tag of opportunities foregone and inappropriate use made of resources. Given the growing enthusiasm for food self-sufficiency in Central Asia, it is imperative that research be undertaken to assess the full costs and benefits of such a policy.     

制度变迁、教育层次与中国经济增长

本文利用2001～2012年省际面板数据,建立固定效应和随机效应模型,考察教育因素和制度变迁因素对经济增长的影响和作用机制。研究结果表明：制度变迁因素对我国区域经济增长具有显著影响,且能够有效释放各教育层次劳动力,对劳动力的释放程度与当地经济发展水平、制度效率水平相关;中等教育程度劳动力对于经济增长的影响最显著,且各教育层次劳动力对区域经济增长的贡献呈显著的区域差异;物质资本仍然是中国经济增长的重要影响因素。     

国际电力体制改革经验及对中国的启发

迄今世界上100多个国家的电力改革实践对我国电力改革有几点基本的启示。(1)电力、经济、资源、政治、社会和文化价值等多方面的起始条件不同,决定了各国改革选择了不同的路径和垂直垄断结构的分拆顺序。没有一个模式是中国可以照搬的。(2)电力改革不仅有特性,而且有共性。我国电力改革在坚持因地制宜原则的同时,必须遵守电力市场改革的共同原则。(3)按照主要的原则,我国下一步改革需要进一步明确改革的多重目的及主次关系,对症施治;加强电网发展,为电力市场提供基本物质保证;着眼于电力市场运作,无论如何分拆必须坚持电网运营与市场参与者相独立的原则。     

新能源汽车市场导入期的网络效应及策略选择

网络效应指产品的用户数量以及互补品数量会影响到产品价值的现象。网络效应产品进入市场时,初期的用户规模和互补品规模都会对新产品推广形成制约。目前,我国新能源汽车推广缓慢,但无论学术研究还是政策补贴都缺少对网络效应机制的思考。本文通过对当前市场中消费购买意愿的调研,证实了新能源汽车的购买选择与用户基础、互补品提供之间确实存在着所预期的直接、间接及局部网络效应。从而也表明在新能源汽车推广的导入期,优先发展互补品网络的重要性。最后本文探讨了如何克服网络效应制约的策略以及政府在其发展中可以发挥的作用。     

亚洲金融危机对石化工业的影响及思考

1997年的亚洲金融危机对全球的石油及石油化工行业产生了重大影响,石油需求下降,油价下跌,石化产品市场低迷。世界的石化产品贸易格局出现了新的变化,兼并、联合、重组掀起热潮。作为资金和技术密集型的石化工业要注重经济效益,提高国际竞争力,走集约化发展的道路。     

Commercial aquaculture in Southeast Asia: Some policy lessons

Globally aquaculture has been increasing rapidly and already accounts for nearly half of all food fish consumed. For developing countries, which produce 90% of the world’s output, aquaculture is a source of protein, employment, income and of foreign exchange. Southeast Asia is an area which has experienced this “blue revolution”. Total aquaculture output in the region increased from less than two million tonnes in 1990 to more than eight million tonnes in 2006. Moreover, the region’s pace of expansion has accelerated. Annual average growth rates in output from 2000 to 2006 were more than double those from 1990 to 2000. Already more than a quarter of food fish in Southeast Asia comes from aquaculture.

First, it analyses the main issues discussed in the existing literature regarding HRM in the Asian context. Second, it highlights the critical challenges facing HRM function in the region. Third, along with the analysis, it presents an agenda for future research. Fourth, it presents a framework useful for highlighting the context specific nature of Asian HRM functions and the main determinants of HRM policies and practices from a cross-national comparative perspective.

制度环境 盈余质量与融资约束

以我国A股上市公司2007-2008年的数据为样本,研究了盈余质量和制度环境因素对融资约束的影响。研究发现,盈余质量的提高和制度环境的改善都可以有效降低企业的融资约束;在市场化水平越高的地区,盈余质量对公司面临的融资约束所产生的缓解效应更加显著;但是在市场化水平低的地区,盈余质量的提高并没有很好地降低企业面临的融资约束水平。同时得出结论:盈余质量对于企业面临的融资约束的缓释作用离不开宏观制度环境的改善,政府应该加快各地区的市场化进程。

The institutional environment and effects of telecommunication privatization and market liberalization in Asia

Are the privatization and market competition models resulting in the leveling of the supply-side playing field, and are they demand driven as expected? Quantitative indicators of network expansion and efficiency provide a partial and inconclusive picture. Instead, an evolutionary property rights framework is favored. Examined in detail are the institutional environments that lead to particular types of property rights which in turn affect network expansion and efficiency. The article offers two conclusions: (a) introducing market competition is slow, messy and difficult to manage but, where present, it is better for growth than privatization alone, and (b) network expansion and efficiency are most noticeable where adequate property rights and enforcement mechanisms are in place. It also conjectures that the “East Asia Model” toward network expansion may not be easily generalizable.     

多变环境下的业务战略:从通用单一到精准组合的理论创新

现有战略理论特别是定位理论已经严重地不适应复杂多变的经营环境现实。因此,改变战略理论的视野成为能否取得理论创新突破的关键。本文引入一个能够全面反映环境变动效应的全面环境互动模型,从中归纳出企业面临的四重基本压力,在此基础上推演出了一套精准战略,使业务战略的分类从以往属的层次进入到种的层次,然后根据逻辑关系证实了通过精准战略的适当组合可以避免所谓的夹在中间窘境而实现差异化和成本优势的兼得。     

Facing Constraints to Growth? Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurs and Traditional Business Practices in East Asia

Overseas Chinese entrepreneurs in East Asia have achieved notable success in a number of traditional, slow growth industries. This success has been ascribed to distinctive aspects of Chinese business culture that favor alacrity, adaptability, networking, and close control of firm operations. Recently, some have suggested that the same characteristics that have promoted these firms' success in slower growth sectors may hinder firm success in faster growth sectors of the economy. To explore this proposition, we conducted in-depth interviews with forty-one entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and government officials all working with fast growth entrepreneurial firms in East Asia. The results suggest that, in general, Overseas Chinese entrepreneurial firms also follow many of the traditional business practices associated with Overseas Chinese firms. Most venture capitalists and government officials in the sample expressed concern that these practices are hindering the building of firms that can be taken public and experience the high growth consistent with vibrant entrepreneurial firms. The results also showed that the Overseas Chinese entrepreneurs sampled are aware that some of these characteristics may be creating constraints to faster growth and, at the behest of venture capitalists and government officials, are sometimes making the changes thought necessary to create faster growth firms.
