THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ECONOMIC FREEDOM AND ECONOMIC DYNAMISM

We analyze the consequences of economic freedom on economic dynamism across U.S. states and over time. Using data from the Economic Freedom of North America index, we show that states with greater economic freedom have higher rates of gross and net job creation and establishment entry. The results are robust to the inclusion of many different control variables and alternative specifications, suggesting a connection between freedom and dynamism. This evidence supports theories in which government policies may impede business dynamism. (JEL 043, P16, R5)     

红三角经济圈县域经济差异研究

利用传统统计分析方法和ESDA方法,在ArcGIS和GeoDA等软件的支持下,以县域为研究单元,以人均GDP为测度指标,从时间、空间、关联性三个侧面对1990—2008年红三角经济圈县域经济差异的空间格局及演化进行了分析。结果表明:红三角经济圈区域差异呈持续扩大趋势,其中赣州市、韶关市和郴州市内部差异呈现波动中不断上升,区域间差异在波动中不断缩小;县域经济在空间上表现出东西两极分化现象;经济发展水平较高县域以韶关市区、郴州市区和赣州市区为核心形成三个高值区;三市经济发展水平处于倒"U"型曲线的三个不同发展阶段;中心城市的规模对区域影响显著,改善交通和培育中心城市是促进落后地区经济发展的两个重要方面;根据经济关联性把红三角经济圈县域分成扩散型、极化型、塌陷型和传染型,不同类型区域对应不同的发展策略。     

经济全球化对中国经济增长的贡献分析

本文利用协整与误差修正模型探讨全球化经济活动与中国经济增长的关系。研究发现,全球化对中国的经济增长具有积极的促进作用,但国内投资仍然是我国经济增长主要的推动力。     

区域经济发展差距:新经济地理、要素流动与经济政策

改革开放后,中国区域经济发展差距主要表现为区域间差距的扩大,而非区域内部差距的扩大。这一现象的发生是多方面原因共同作用的结果:在新经济地理因素的影响下,具有区位优势的东部沿海地区吸引了中西部地区大量的生产要素进行跨区域流动,加上中央政府的政策导向作用,使得中国经济发展差距呈现出逐步扩大的趋势。因此,中央政府应该采取有力措施,以便在全国形成合理的区域分工,进而达到缩小区域经济发展差距的目标。     

淮海经济区经济发展差异演变

以淮海经济区126个县级行政单元为研究对象,采用锡尔系数分析方法对以淮海经济区为案例的省际边缘区经济发展差异进行定量测度,发现省际差异对淮海经济区经济发展差异的影响大于省内差异和市内差异的影响,是构成淮海经济区整体区域经济发展差异的重要组成部分.     

注重发展规划 促进经济发展

１９９６年 ,圣菲市制定了第一个《经济发展规划》。这一规划的目的在于为圣菲市的经济发展提出战略性规划 ,指明促进经济多元化的途径 ,激发现有存量产业的潜能 ,确定发展目标以及实现目标的有效措施 ,为经济发展创造更多的机遇。为了探讨市政府如何为市民提供更多的经济发展机会 ,我们举行了２０余次公众会议。《经济发展规划》文件的基本导向就是创造更多的机会 ,提高市民的生活质量。由于发展规划中吸收了许多合同文本的内容 ,所以经济发展规划也被认为是我市经济发展合同的重要基础。１９９７年 ,我市的《经济发展规划》荣获美国规划协…     

STADIUMS AND ARENAS: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR ECONOMIC REDISTRIBUTION?

This article explores the literature on the impact of professional sports teams and stadiums on their host communities. A large body of research has addressed these issues, some of it academic and much of it for hire by team and sport boosters. The broad conclusion of this literature is that stadiums and franchises are ineffective means to creating local economic development, whether that is measured as income or job growth. There may be substantial public benefits from stadiums and franchises, but those too are insufficient to warrant large-scale subsidies by themselves. In combination with consumer surpluses from attendance, however, subsidies may be efficient. ( JEL R58, J30, H71, L83)
