中美比较视角下我国数字经济发展的对策建议

数字经济发展已引起全球广泛关注,而美国在此方面布局更早、更全面。美国在支持数字经济发展方面主要采取了注重互联网产业的整体布局,积极推行大数据与云计算战略,推进工业与能源等领域的互联网应用,强化信息(数字)基础设施建设,重视技术研发、专利和知识产权保护和积极推动实验室产品转化为市场产品等政策措施。当前,我国在数字经济发展在总量、创新能力、产业发展和监管方面存在较大差距。对比而言,我国需要加大投入力度,更加重视顶层设计,有效推进数字经济的发展。     

阿根廷志愿者组织的模式转变

在阿根廷学术界,有关各种社会活动的研究,特别是针对2001年危机之后的各种集会等活动的研究很多,然而,对非营利性福利型志愿者组织等类型的社会活动的研究却付之阙如。此外,在阿根廷,有关社会组织参与者的研究,相关资料残缺不全,学术界对其也漠不关心,仅有的只是一些关于社会组织的类型学研究以及/或者其对国内生产总值的贡献的衡量。文章基于托克维尔、杜威、哈贝马斯和森等学者关于民主的概念,就志愿者组织对阿根廷政治社会生活民主化的影响进行了思考。在此基础上,文章解读了在布宜诺斯艾利斯自治市及大布宜诺斯艾利斯进行的定性、定量研究中的一些结果。

福建省数字经济发展对策研究

习近平总书记多次强调加快发展数字经济。福建省委书记于伟国提出实施数字经济"一号工程",努力将福建建成国家数字经济发展新高地。本文分析了福建省数字经济发展现状,指出了福建省数字经济发展存在的主要问题,提出了福建省数字经济发展对策。     

数字经济发展趋势及我国的战略抉择

以因特网为标志、广泛渗透于高科技领域的数字革命浪潮,带来比工业革命更快、更加深刻的社会变革,并且成为支撑未来世界经济发展的重要动力之一。数字经济的出现,孕育了新的消费模式,推动全球产业整合与升级,催生出新的生产模式。世界经济进入新的历史时期。我国应该积极完善与数字经济相匹配的企业经营模式和市场环境,加快企业和市场的数字化创新步伐,建设服务型数字政府,平衡数字资源,提升数字经济国际竞争力。     

数字经济发展对我国居民消费的影响机制及策略选择

文章基于互联网与数字普惠金融两个角度分析数字经济发展对我国居民消费的影响机制,以2013—201 9年省级面板数据为样本,测度我国各省份数字经济发展水平,分析数字经济发展对我国居民消费产生的影响。研究结果表明：发展数字经济对促进我国居民消费水平具有显著作用;异质性检验发现,东部地区的数字经济发展可显著促进居民消费,但在中西部地区尚存在较大差距。因此,应促进中西部地区数字经济发展,协同发展区域数字经济。从供给侧入手,充分利用数字经济发展带来的红利,及时关注和研判潜在风险,为促进居民消费赋能。     

关于完善福建数字经济发展环境的政策建议

2000年习近平同志前瞻性作出建设"数字福建"的重要决策部署。经过20年的发展建设,数字经济已经成为福建经济社会发展的新动能和新引擎。本文在分析福建数字经济发展现状、面临的机遇和挑战的基础上,提出要把握新时代数字经济发展新趋势,从加快新型数字基础设施建设,推进数字经济与实体经济融合发展,推进传统产业园区数字化转型升级,深化数字驱动能力,强化人才保障能力,构建市场保障体系,构建治理保障体系,构建安全保障体系的"一基础两推进三能力三保障"的"1233"创新发展机制,进一步完善福建数字经济发展环境。     

国家数字经济创新发展试验区建设现状、问题及对策建议

2019年10月,国家数字经济创新发展试验区启动建设,这将成为支撑我国数字强国建设的排头兵和示范区,为我国数字经济创新发展和治理提供新模式、新路径。通过对国家数字经济创新发展试验区建设进展进行动态的跟踪和观察,可以更好地了解和掌握数字经济发展和数字社会转型的理念、模式和路径。利用2015—2021年六个国家数字经济创新发展试验区发展的相关数据,从数字经济规模、信息化发展水平、互联网发展水平、数字交易水平和发展路径等方面来分析国家数字经济创新发展试验区的建设现状,总结国家数字经济创新发展试验区在建设过程中存在的问题,并提出加强统筹规划、提高治理水平、提升技术创新、优化法治环境和促进经济发展等发展建议。     

The Australian Economy in 2020–21: The COVID-19 Pandemic and Prospects for Economic Recovery

This article summarises developments in the Australian economy in 2020. It describes the economic growth and labour market ramifications associated with COVID-19, and the fiscal and monetary policies implemented to help counter its effects. COVID-19 has resulted in considerable slack in an economy that was weak pre-pandemic. While current policies are appropriately focused on stimulating demand and supporting employment, existing challenges such as weak growth in productivity, gross domestic product and real wages are also likely to remain relevant post-pandemic.     

Sectoral Employment Dynamics in Australia and the COVID-19 Pandemic

We develop a multivariate time series model of employment in 19 sectors for Australia. We use this model to determine the long-run effect of a 1% increase in economic activity in any chosen sector on aggregate employment. Our findings point to manufacturing and construction sectors as those that generate the largest positive spillovers for the aggregate economy. Moreover, we provide an interactive web-based app that produces our model's forecasts based on any user-specified scenario. As the restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic evolve, the sectoral employment multipliers together with these interactive tools will provide useful information for policymakers.     

The COVID-19 Pandemic in a Monetary Schumpeterian Model

In this paper, following Blanchard and Fischer (1989), I investigate how the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic—the increase in the probability of death—may affect growth and welfare in a scale-invariant R&D-based Schumpeterian model. Without money, the increase in the probability of death has no effect on long-run growth and a negative effect on welfare. By contrast, when money is introduced via the cash-in-advance (CIA) constraint on consumption, the increase in the probability of death decreases long-run growth and welfare under elastic labor supply. Calibration shows that the quantitative effect of an increase in the probability of death on welfare is much larger compared to that on growth.     

COVID-19 and Long-Term Economic Growth

This article investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the long-term economic growth of South Africa. We embed an epidemiological model in a modified Solow–Swan model and explore various channels such as morbidity, mortality, unemployment, loss of school days and capital accumulation. We demonstrate that COVID-19 will lower the average annual growth rate of GDP per capita of South Africa by 0.07 percentage points in the next four decades, a 25 per cent decline relative to the no-COVID benchmark. We show that human capital losses due to school closures account for more than half of the economic slowdown.     

Reverse Immigration Effects for Expatriates in Oman During the COVID-19 Pandemic Shock

The COVID-19 pandemic produced dramatic aftershocks throughout the global labor markets with rapid changes in differential employment opportunities. Labor market disruptions were sparked by the pandemic in Oman, where expatriates live and work. For the first time, the analysis investigates certain hypotheses relevant to the Aspirations-Capabilities framework and whether these hypotheses survive the pandemic exogenous shock. More specifically, testing these hypotheses, the analysis investigates whether the COVID-19 pandemic shock had a negative impact on expatriates in the host country, as well as it identifies heterogeneous effects among different ethnic groups. Using Datastream data, this analysis investigates the sudden drop in ethnic expatriates in Oman using ordinal least squares and instrumental variable estimations. A steeper decline in the expatriate employment rate reflects a disproportionately adverse impact that the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic had on immigrant employment. The findings identify substantial ethnic differences when reverse immigratory effects are exhibited.

     

Quantitative Analysis of the COVID-19 Pandemic Shock to Household Consumption in China

We study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic shock on household consumption in China. Using household survey data, we find that the proportion of liquidity-constrained households increases quickly, but the constraint levels vary across distinct groups. We build a heterogeneous agent life cycle incomplete market model to analyze the long-run and short-run effects of the pandemic shock. The quantitative results reveal a slow recovery of consumption due to three reasons: hiking unemployment rate, declining labor productivity, and worsening income stability. The hiking unemployment rate plays the key role in households’ consumption reduction since it simultaneously leads to a negative income effect and upsurging precautionary saving motives. Our paper highlights the importance of maintaining a stable labor market for faster recovery.
