海峡两岸农业合作与交流现状及其前景

1 农业合作与交流现状 两岸农业合作与交流,广义上应包括经贸交流、文化交流、信息(资讯)交流、科技交流等。本文重点分析以经贸为主的农业合作与交流现状。随着大陆一系列为争取缓和两岸对峙关系的政策和方针的推出,台湾方面在祖国统一问题上,也先后作了响应,有限度地采取了一些有力于两岸关系发展的举措。由于民间交往的推动,在九十年代,两岸关系缓和的进程明显加快。两岸互动的结果,初步打破的两岸人民长期隔绝的局面。双方农业方面在人员往来、经贸     

两岸华人四地资本市场竞争与合作策略分析

本文分析了台湾、香港、新加坡、中国大陆四地各自资本市场的优势和劣势,并且就台湾资本市场面临亚太区域之竞合关系,提出策略建议：建立两岸资本市场＂竞争＂与＂合作＂的模式,而且结合香港与新加坡,有效整合华人两岸四地资本市场的优势与利基,建立大中华金融圈。     

台资农业企业投资祖国大陆的溢出效应分析

农业是海峡两岸交流与合作的重点领域之一,在两岸关系中处于十分重要的地位。经过二十多年的发展,台商投资大陆农业的步伐不断加快。台湾农业优良品种、先进管理经验和市场营销理念的引入,促进了大陆各地农业经济发展,农业技术溢出效应显著,推动了大陆农业产业化和结构升级,带动了大陆外向型农业发展。两岸之间应不断加强交流与沟通,加速构建两岸农业合作的长效机制,全面深化海峡两岸的农业合作。     

闽台农业贸易的发展特点及走向

近年来,随着我国政府一系列惠及台湾农民的政策的出台,两岸农业的交流与合作成为两岸经贸往来中最受人瞩目的问题.如何充分发挥两地农业资源的优势,构建互利共赢的农业合作模式,是两岸农业交流与合作持续发展的关键所在.     

对福建省先行先试建立涉台金融法律制度的初探

当前,两岸金融合作正朝着＂双向、直接＂的方向发展,但大陆没有两岸金融合作方面的专项立法,大陆涉台金融法律制度还不健全,一定程度上制约了两岸金融合作。本文从构建海峡西岸金融合作试验区的需要出发,分析福建省发挥地方立法优势、先行建立涉台金融法律的必要性,并通过比较分析两岸金融规定的差异,探索福建省建立有利于促进两岸金融合作的法律制度,为促进海峡两岸金融合作提供法律保障,也为我国大陆进一步健全涉台金融法律积累经验。     

ECFA与CEPA的比较

中国大陆与台湾签署的"海峡两岸经济合作架构协议"(以下简称ECFA)与内地和港、澳签署的CEPA协议在本质上都是区域经济一体化的合作协议,将两岸四地在经贸上进一步融合以制度的形式加以确定,本文通过对比二者的内容、进程、背景,意图说明ECFA协议更为特殊的意义.     

两岸农业合作:现状与前瞻

海峡两岸农业交流与合作是两岸经贸关系的重要组成部分。两岸先后加入世界贸易组织后，对大陆与台湾农业将产生重要影响，也为未来海峡两岸农业交流与合作创造了新的条件与机遇。现状1.两岸农产品贸易规模不大，呈现“出多进少”格局。90年代中期以来，两岸农产品年贸易总额在3—4亿美元之间，仅占台湾农产品贸易额的5%左右。其中，大陆对台农产品出口呈现逐渐下降趋势，从台湾进口则呈现逐年上升趋势。据台湾方面统计，1995—1997年，台湾从大陆进口农产品金额在4亿美元左右，1998—2000年在2.9亿美元左右；台湾对大陆农产品出口金额却从19…     

Rule of law, democracy, openness, and income

We estimate the interrelationships among economic institutions, political institutions, openness, and income levels, using identification through heteroskedasticity (IH). We split our cross‐national dataset into two sub‐samples: (i) colonies versus non‐colonies; and (ii) continents aligned on an East–West versus those aligned on a North–South axis. We exploit the difference in the structural variances in these two sub‐samples to gain identification. We find that democracy and the rule of law are both good for economic performance, but the latter has a much stronger impact on incomes. Openness (trade/GDP) has a negative impact on income levels and democracy, but a positive effect on rule of law. Higher income produces greater openness and better institutions, but these effects are not very strong. Rule of law and democracy tend to be mutually reinforcing.     

Inflation,money, interest rate,exchange rate,and casuality: the case of Egypt,Morocco, and Tunisia

This study provides further evidence of the inflationary efects of the rates of growth of money supply, gross domestic product, efective exchange rate, and imported inflation for Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia using quarterly data from 1964 to 1990. In addition, it examines the Granger causality between inflation and money supply as well as between inflation and the real exchange rate in the countries under consideration. Most of the results are consistent with extant theory and empirical evidence.     

Country terms of trade: trends,unit roots,over-differencing,endogeneity, time dummies,and heterogeneity

The debate about the Prebisch-Singer thesis has focused on primary commodities with some extensions to manufactures. We analyse trends in country terms-of-trade for goods and services rather than those for commodities according to the World Bank income classification. We find that the natural logarithm of the terms of trade for all groups except for the poorest has common unit roots, but none has individual unit roots. As low-income countries have no unit roots over-differencing is inefficient and biases significance levels in first differences against the fall in the terms of trade. For the low-income countries the terms of trade of goods and services are falling at a rate that is significantly negative without and with endogeneity treatment by system GMM. A comprehensive analysis of the effects of time dummies supports the result of falling terms of trade for low-income countries. When all coefficients are country-specific 50% of all low-income countries have falling terms of trade in a simultaneous equation estimation using the SUR method. Food and financial crisis have no effect on the number of countries with falling terms of trade, but (dis-)improve the terms of trade or the significance of the results for a very small number of countries.     

Quality of judicial institutions,crimes, misdemeanors,and dishonesty

We investigate the extent to which quality of judicial institutions has an impact on individuals’ propensity for criminal and dishonest behavior and on their views regarding the acceptability of dishonesty and law-breaking. We use micro data on residents of 25 European countries and employ alternative measures of judicial quality as perceived by the residents of these countries. As an instrument for judicial quality we employ the procedures with which prosecutors and judges are appointed to their posts in each country. As alternative instruments, we employ an index of de jure institutional quality as well as its components, which provide similar results. The findings show that an increase in the perception of the quality of judicial institutions, such as an improvement in judicial independence or the impartiality of the courts, has a deterrent effect on dishonest and criminal acts. A higher perceived quality of the judicial system also makes individuals less likely to find acceptable a variety of dishonest and illicit behaviors, suggesting that institutions help shape the beliefs of the society. We obtain the same results when we analyze the sample of immigrants, whose cultural attributes should be (more) related to their countries of origin, rather than their countries of residence, and thus should be arguably uncorrelated with the factors that can impact the instrument. We show that people’s beliefs in the importance of the family, in the fairness of others, and the importance of being rich are not impacted by judicial quality, suggesting that judicial quality is not a blanket representation of underlying cultural norms and beliefs in the society.     

Democracy,Rule of Law,Corruption Incentives,and Growth

We bridge the gap between the standard theory of growth and the mostly static theory of corruption. Some public investment can be diverted from its purpose by corrupt individuals. Voters determine the level of public investment subject to an incentive constraint equalizing the returns from productive and corrupt activities. We concentrate on two exogenous institutional parameters: the “technology of corruption” is the ease with which rent‐seekers can capture a proportion of public spending. The “concentration of political power” is the extent to which rent‐seekers have more political influence than other people. One theoretical prediction is that the effects of the two institutional parameters on income growth and equilibrium corruption are different according to the constraints that are binding at equilibrium. In particular, the effect of judicial quality on growth should be stronger when political power is concentrated. We estimate a system of equations where both corruption and income growth are determined simultaneously and show that income growth is more affected by our proxies for legal and political institutions in countries where political rights and judicial institutions, respectively, are limited.
