Millennials and globalization

There is much discussion about the way Millennials are shaping organizations in the 21st century. We are cautioned to consider the implications of multiple generations working within the same organization. These discussions, however, tend to leave out the cross‐cultural dimensions of intragenerational leadership. Globalization is reshaping leadership not only at the vertical level (multiple generations working in the same organization) but also horizontally (communication and technology reshaping the way Millennials interact with other Millennials across national boundaries). This article offers a framework through which we can develop key questions for curricular development and scholarly research related to intragenerational leadership. This article presents a general definition of leadership, using five components (leaders, followers, goals, context, and cultural norms). This definition is then applied to the concept of globalization as the new context that the Millennials face. The article suggests possible curricular and research questions that may help us gain a deeper understanding of intragenerational leadership.     

区域经济与全球化

党的十六届三中全会通过的《中共中央关于完善社会主义市场经济体制若干问题的决定》指出,要“适应经济全球化和科技进步加快的国际环境”,全面提高对外开放水平。在经济全球化步伐明显加快的今天,对外开放就意味着积极参与经济全球化的进程,以主动的姿态把握机遇和迎接挑战,这是我们党在深刻认识世界经济发展趋势的基础上所作出的重大抉择。因此,我们要紧紧抓住重要战略机遇,积极参与经济全球化的进程,进一步提高加入世贸组织后的应对能力,     

提高国际竞争力迎战全球化

近年来,经济全球化是国际舆论界引用越来越频繁的一个概念。全球化是各国经济都在走向开放,走向市场化,世界经济趋向于某种程度的一体化,各国经济贸易的相互依存依赖程度大大提高的过程;是经济、市场、技术、通讯形式等都越来越具有“全球性”的特征,民族性或地方性在减少的过程。这一过程虽然远未结束,但其对各同经济的影响已显露出来。对我国而言,经济全球化的机遇与挑战并存,唯有全力提高我国国际竞争力,才能在挑战中应对自如。     

Offshoring,globalization, and welfare

We investigate the issue of offshoring in a general-equilibrium model of two countries and one sector of increasing returns to scale. Our model uncovers that offshoring occurs and endogenously evolves in a bell-shaped pattern when trade costs decline, explaining some stylized facts in developed countries. Furthermore, this simple framework can be applied to examine the welfare issue. We find that a fall in offshoring costs benefits the high-wage country but hurts the low-wage country. On the other hand, the low-wage country benefits with trade liberalization. The impact of falling trade costs on the welfare of the high-wage country depends on the values of offshoring freeness.

Financial market globalization and growth with interdependent countries

This paper examines the effect of externalities on the consequences of financial market globalization in a two-country growth model augmented with domestic credit market imperfections. Following the endogenous growth literature, externalities are byproducts of capital production. Unlike previous studies, I find that their formation matters. Specifically, when transnational externalities consist solely of a rich country’s capital stock, financial market globalization brings about world-wide gains in growth. However, when these externalities are a product of both the rich and the poor countries’ capital stock, this globalization process only fosters growth in the rich country. Furthermore, if such externalities are sufficiently weak, both the rich and the poor countries may become locked in a stage with no meaningful growth.     

A note on globalization and urban residential rents

We present evidence on the impact of international economic openness upon residential real estate, consistent with the well-known Balassa–Samuelson effect, which suggests that increasing openness raises relative prices of non-tradable goods and services. Using a data set for 46 cities in different countries, we find that urban rents are positively affected by the openness of the economy and by city size.     

Financial globalization and technological innovation: International evidence

Country’s technology progress and innovation development not only depends on internal knowledge stock and human capital, but also external financial resources. This paper explores the effect of financial globalization on technological innovation through empirical investigations by using the system generalized method of moment method and panel data from 110 countries over the period of 1985–2015. Our empirical results suggest that financial globalization exerts a significant enhancing effect on technological innovation and this effect becomes stronger for countries with better institution quality. A one unit change of financial globalization can bring about a 0.6 % increase in patent applications. The comprehensive evidence shows that financial development, not trade integration, is the main channel through which financial globalization promotes national innovation. Subsample analysis shows that financial globalization only promotes innovation development of Non- Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. Our findings offer new insights into the influence of financial openness on technology progress.

Shrinking cities: urban challenges of globalization

Urban shrinkage is not a new phenomenon. It has been documented in a large literature analyzing the social and economic issues that have led to population flight, resulting, in the worse cases, in the eventual abandonment of blocks of housing and neighbourhoods. Analysis of urban shrinkage should take into account the new realization that this phenomenon is now global and multidimensional — but also little understood in all its manifestations. Thus, as the world's population increasingly becomes urban, orthodox views of urban decline need redefinition. The symposium includes articles from 10 urban analysts working on 30 cities around the globe. These analysts belong to the Shrinking Cities International Research Network (SCIRN), whose collaborative work aims to understand different types of city shrinkage and the role that different approaches, policies and strategies have played in the regeneration of these cities. In this way the symposium will inform both a rich diversity of analytical perspectives and country-based studies of the challenges faced by shrinking cities. It will also disseminate SCIRN's research results from the last 3 years.

全球化对城市发展的影响与启示

分析了经济全球化对全球国家、城市与区域产生的影响,指出资金、商品、信息、人口的全球流动把全球经济紧密地联系在一起,促进了发展中国家的工业化与城市化进程,使城市各个方面产生深刻的变化,并演变为全球城市体系,城市已经成为国家参与全球竞争的核心力量;并结合中国的国情,指出中国的城市化应该走资源集约高效利用的城市化道路和低消耗、高效益的新型工业化道路,坚持区域统筹和城乡统筹,大力发展服务型城市和信息化城市。     

经济全球化与中国经济发展的长期优势

经济全球化对发展中国家是一把利弊参半的双刃剑,但对中国经济发展来说,全球化进程的利大于弊。人口众多曾是困扰中国经济发展的最大障碍,资源和市场的全球性重新配置正在把这一劣势转化为廉价劳动力成本优势和巨大市场潜力优势。经济全球化同时意味着经济运行规则的一体化,在中国经济体制市场化演进过程中,对外开放效应大于自我改革效应。
