促进黑龙江省经济发展的金融思考——基于融资租赁视角

融资租赁业可支持中小企业发展、增加经济运行和金融行业稳定性、助推城市基础设施和公益项目建设、推动第三产业发展和金融产业集聚效应的发挥。黑龙江省融资租赁业远远落后于其他地区和城市。黑龙江省促进金融租赁业发展,使其发挥相关作用,应在完善金融体系的基础上,采用税收政策支持、给予补贴或奖励、引进人才、制定租赁信用保险制度、组织银企对接等多种操作模式和辅助措施,为融资租赁业的发展营造良好的环境。     

The effects of economic development and the evolution of social institutions on the level of corruption: comparing the Asia-Pacific with other regional blocs

ABSTRACT

The variation in the level of economic development across countries has been proposed as an explanation for the disparity in the level of corruption that is observed. As a country evolves from one stage of economic development to another and its social institutions as a result become more refined and sophisticated, their capacity to tackle corruption and poor governance practices becomes increasingly better. Improvements in the overall quality of institutions, including better policing and justice systems, increase their capacity to detect and deter corruption. This evolution of institutional quality improves social and economic well-being of society, which in turn pressures regulators, legislators and politicians to continue in the fight against corruption. The objective of this paper is to examine how economic development mediated by improvements in the quality of social institutions impacts on the level of corruption. Lessons from worldwide trends, including the Asia-Pacific region, provide opportunities for countries to enact strategic measures that can accelerate the fight against corruption.
