The Unifying Role of the Single Currency

Perhaps the single most tangible symbol of the European Union is its single currency, the euro. Within the European Economic and Monetary Union, it was seen as a tool to ensure that European integration would be truly irreversible. However, the euro has also contributed to cleavages and asymmetries. This article reviews whether the euro can fulfil the unifying role envisioned for it, examing the importance of the euro in four crucial European relationships.     

人民币国际化的理论分析及战略思考--基于人民币周边流通的分析

2003年人民币周边流通总量约1510亿元。人民币周边流通仅仅是货币国际化中的初级阶段；货币国际化需要严格的条件，而且必须承受放弃本国货币政策独立性的代价。应进一步创造人民币国际化的条件，有序推进人民币国际化。     

宏观经济政策的国际合作和国际货币体系改革

经济全球化的发展要求在地区范围内和全球范围内实行宏观经济政策的国际合作,这种合作从企业层面上升到政府层面,在平时应以经济(或金融)监管为重点,增强有关制度、政策、法规的透明度,建立风险预警机制;一旦发生经济(或金融)危机及风暴,则重点应是如何联手和克服风暴.同时,国际货币体系的改革应以改革传统的决策权结构、推进监管国际化、确定国际储备基础的本位币和成立应急小组等为主要内容,并提高发展中国家的话语权,以反映世界经济发展的新格局.

国际贸易结算货币理论及其对我国的启示

随着多边贸易和国际货币多元化的不断发展,国际贸易结算货币的选择对降低汇率风险和交易成本,提高经济效益显得越来越重要。本文按三个发展阶段对国际贸易结算货币理论进行了述评,在此基础上探讨了目前我国对外贸易结算货币的选择及人民币作为国际贸易结算货币的可能性。认为,当前美元仍应是我国对外贸易首选结算货币,但我国应积极扩大人民币在边境贸易中的计价结算,并努力创造条件促使人民币在远洋贸易中计价结算,以降低国际贸易的汇率风险及促进人民币国际化的发展。     

Company–specific Factors and International Competitiveness

This article arises from concern about the inadequacy of the theoretical and empirical evidence on the costs and benefits to business of the EU single currency. It uses a survey of companies in the UK (which has not had a stable currency regime) and Ireland (committed to the ERM) together with the "process" dimension of the Buckley et al (1988) 3-P model of the international competitiveness of the firm to highlight implications for exporters of long-term government commitment to exchange-rate stability. The results indicate a positive link between currency stability and three measures of "process" competitiveness: commitment to international business, economies of scale and economies of scope.

Technological Competitiveness in an International Arena

This article takes a sceptical view of the 'globalisation of technology' literature. We suggest three elements to such technological globalisation. First, there is the geographical extent in terms of the spatial spread and intensity (or 'depth'). Secondly, there are 'sectoral' variations in the degree of technological globalisation. Lastly, there is the issue of the 'temporal' extent of the globalisation of technology-when effectively did it first appear and what is the nature and extent of its subsequent development? With this framework, we find a far from uniform 'globalisation'. Government policy at the national level remains important, we argue, in part because much of what is depicted as globalisation is very clearly inter-national.     

日元国际化对我国货币国际化的启示

The International Competitiveness of CEEC Agriculture

The paper surveys the price competitiveness of agricultural production in Central and East European Countries (CEECs). It draws together empirical work conducted by tje authors and other studies that have estimated domestic resource cost (DRC) ratios for agriculture in various CEECs. The paper identifies that in general CEEC crop production is more internationally competitive than livestock farming. During the mid‐1990s, wheat production in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia was internationally competitive. In contrast, during the same period, milk production was not internationally competitive. However, there is also a considerable degree of variation from country to country; very little of Slovenia's agricultural production is internationally competitive. In the livestock sector the greatest problems lie where large herds have been broken up resulting in fragmented production. This has particularly affected beef and milk production. Considering variations in DRCs by farm type, larger private farms in Hungary and the Czech Republic are more internationally competitive than smaller private farms in crop production. If CEEC producers faced average EU prices for their traded inputs and output, most could be price competitive. However, conclusions should be treated with caution due to sensitivity of DRC ratios to changes in international prices and the choice of the shadow prices for non‐tradeable inputs

The Russian Tax System and Its International Competitiveness

The last several years were very favourable to the development of the Russian economy. While this has partly been the consequence of favourable conditions on the international markets for raw materials, the economic policy of President Vladimir Putin, including the tax reforms initiated at the end of the 1990s, also played a major role. Our authors examine in detail the effects of the tax reforms to date and point out the room for further improvements under Putin’s successor, Medvedev.

中美金融服务国际贸易竞争力对比及启示

中国开放金融服务市场后,国内金融机构将面临国外同行的激烈竞争。文章在对我国金融服务国际贸易竞争力进行时序比较分析的基础上,与美国进行比较。研究发现．美国金融服务国际贸易占据强大技术优势,处于比较成熟和稳定的状态中,而我国国际金融服务贸易波动剧烈,竞争力非常低。若毫无保护地完全放开中国金融业。会极大地威胁到中国金融的安全。故须从宏观和微观层面上共同努力,才能保证我国金融服务国际贸易竞争力的稳步增强。宏观上需要科学控制金融市场自由化的进程,保证金融服务发展需要的开放和保护均衡的大环境：微观上,必须全面结合信息技术,提升金融部门的业务创新能力,满足多元化的金融需求。
