公共财政框架下的消费税改革

近一段时期,国家领导人多次强调要建立公共财政体制,特别指出,税收体制改革是建立公共财政体制的重点之一。公共财政的职能范围是以满足社会公共需要为口径界定的,它以追求公共利益为已任,“拿众人之钱办众人之事”是公共财政的出发点和归宿。公共财政的基本原则是公正、规范、透明。而我国现行的消费税实行的价内税,违背了公共财政的基本原则,必须进行改革。     

税收价格论对强化税收征管的现实意义

税收价格论认为税收是纳税人为消费公共品而向政府支付的“价格”,税收征纳双方在本质上是平等的交换关系。借鉴税收价格论,应当以个人为基点,从利益交换关系的角度,赋予纳税人作为交换一方应有的权利。应在整个公共部门经济的全过程中体现税收本质上的平等交换关系,并以法律的形式予以确定和保护。引进税收价格论,对提供新的税收征管思路,强化税收征管工作,具有重要的现实意义。     

Tax without Design: Recent Developments in UK Tax Policy

This paper considers the development of tax policy in the UK over the last decade or so and assesses policy change against a low bar – consistency and coherence. While this government has followed some consistent policies – notably, in some aspects of corporation tax and in increasing the income tax personal allowance – there are few signs of a wider coherent strategy. The same has been true of other recent governments. Many aspects of the system have become more complex. There have been numerous policy reversals. And few of those aspects of the system in most need of reform have been tackled. The need for reform, and a clear strategy for reform, remain as pressing as ever.     

印花税调整对股票价格影响的实证研究

印花税下调在短期内对大盘股指产生显著影响,但这种影响随时间的推移而逐渐减弱;税率下调对沪市和深市单只股票具有冲击效应,个股产生正的超额收益;税率下调对两市的大盘波动性产生显著影响,刺激了"噪声交易者",在短期内产生了噪声效应。目前印花税仍然存在一些不足,建议:拓宽税基,改双向征税为单向征税,尽快开征股票交易税。     

基于行为金融学的行为投资分析方法

行为金融学是应用心理学、行为学的理论和方法分析、研究金融行为及现象的一门新兴交叉学科。运用行为金融理论分析、判断和解释现实的证券市场运行,可以明显地看到,其基本特征表现为无效性,或者说市场是以低效率方式运行的。行为投资分析方法从投资者的各种行为偏差出发,采取一系列的积极交易和管理策略,包括成本平均策略、时间分散化策略、反向投资策略、动量交易策略及设立“止损点”的交易策略等。行为投资分析法力图以较低的成本和风险获取较高收益,具有重大的实践意义。     

公共政策视角下的环境税

我国环境税制度设计离不开公共政策视角。与环境收费相比,环境税将更好地发挥环境保护的公共政策功能。环境保护政策体系中的环境税,需要与其他环保政策工具协调配合。环境税需要在分类推进与整体调节中进行权衡取舍。环境税的开征并不意味着仅是增税,需要发挥其双重红利作用,和减税措施相配合,才能摆脱宏观税负悖论。环境税还需要和环境专项支出进行协调,以更好地实现公共政策目标。     

房地产税收结构与房价关系的研究

近些年,房价问题引起社会普遍关注。本文通过建立面板数据模型,研究了不同地区的房地产税收对房价的影响。研究表明房地产税收对房价有影响,但各个税种在不同地区的影响效果和贡献度不同。因此,差别化房地产税收制度结构是当前房地产市场调控的关键。     

存量房交易计税价格批量评估典型技术路线比较

针对我国存量房交易中存在的买卖双方低报交易价格问题,税务部门提出应将评税技术应用于房地产交易计税价格核定。丹东、杭州、南京作为试点城市建立了各自的存量房交易计税价格批量评估体系,其他城市可以学习和借鉴这三个城市的经验,再结合本地房地产市场情况,建立符合本地实际的应用房地产估价技术评估存量房交易价格申报工作的路径与方法。房地产评税技术的完善,一方面可以打击当前存量房交易中普遍存在的用“阴阳合同”逃避交易税费的行为;另一方面可以为正在推进的房产税改革以及住房保有环节征税等提供技术支持。     

商业健康险税收优惠政策的效果分析--基于需求价格弹性的测算

本文基于经典商业健康险需求理论的价格弹性模型,分别利用天津市调研数据和中山大学劳动力动态调查数据库测算了按收入分层的商业健康险需求价格弹性及商业健康险的消费结构。并基于上述测算结果,通过数据库对接推算了全国商业健康险的需求价格弹性和税优政策的预期效果。测算结果表明,我国商业健康险的需求价格弹性为-0.22,在当前的税优政策下,个税税改前后,税优健康险的预期年保费规模分别为16.54亿元、6.09亿元,由此带来的年税式支出预计将分别达到2.47亿元、0.69亿元。最后,基于实证分析结果,本文对税优健康险未来的政策调整方向提供了建议。     

Tax Rate Uncertainty, Investment Decisions, and Tax Neutrality

This article deals with the effects of tax rate uncertainty (TRU) on individual investment behavior. We show that under risk neutrality as well as under risk aversion, increased TRU has an ambiguous impact on investment, depending on the investment project's structure of cash flows and depreciation deductions. Although the investment effects are small the popular view that tax policy uncertainty depresses real investment is rejected. Further, tax neutrality in the light of tax policy uncertainty is defined more precisely. Neutrality results for the Johansson-Samuelson tax and the cash flow tax that are known from certainty are confirmed under TRU.     

物业税改革对房地产价格的影响——基于2002~2011年中国省际面板数据的实证研究

基于供需视角,依据2002~2011年中国30个省（市、自治区）的面板数据,构建整体及东、中、西区域面板模型,分析了物业税对不同区域房价的影响。结果表明,物业税对房价具有抑制作用,且对各区域影响存在一定差异,鉴此,物业税应实行国际差异化。     

行为财政学:方法和实践

行为财政学作为现代财政学科的一个新方向方兴未艾,其通过引入行为理论和实验方法,进一步丰富和推动了财政学科新发展,使得财政学更具现实解释力.本文对行为财政学中的实验方法和应用进行梳理,探讨了行为财政学研究的现实意义和未来研究方向.     

Attitudes towards Tax Levels: A Multi‐Tax Comparison*

We analyse Swedes' opinions about the levels of 11 different taxes to see which taxes people are most averse to and why. The most unpopular tax is the real estate tax, while the corporate tax is the least unpopular. We find a strong self‐interest effect in tax attitudes and that knowledge and education increase support for corrective taxes.     

巨灾风险债券溢价之谜的行为金融学解释

作为一种新型金融工具,巨灾风险债券自发行以来所附带的风险收益就远高于同等级传统债券的收益.尽管均值方差分析方法已证明"溢价之谜"确实存在,但从传统理论角度出发的研究并不能充分解释巨灾风险债券高溢价的成因.本文尝试用行为金融理论分析以获得较合理的解释补充.通过探讨投资者的心理、行为因素在巨灾风险债券溢价之谜中所起的重要作用,得出结论:风险厌恶、固定教育成本、模糊厌恶和羊群效应等行为导致了溢价之谜的出现.这些影响因素的发现不仅是对国际巨灾风险债券市场中的高溢价现象进行解释的重要依据,同时也为我国科学发行巨灾风险债券提供了思路.     

适度减税是当前我国的税收政策取向

本在世界性减税浪潮的大背景下，分析了我国总体税负水平，提出了适度减税的税收政策取向和具体的设想。     

房产税税率、房产税收入与房地产税制度设计

基于房产税税率对房产税收入影响理论,运用数理模型,依据沪渝两市自然数据,考量房产税税率变化对房产税收入的影响.结果显示:房产税税率对房产税收入具有重要影响.若提高上海市房产税税率,房产税增收效果更明显;若下调重庆市房产税税率,房产税增收效应更显著.鉴于此,未来房地产税立法改革思路:一是坚持房地产税税负不增加;二是平衡好房地产税立法与其他收费制度的关系;三是统筹税制改革的协同推进;四是兼顾房地产税的地方财政属性;五是谨慎推进.同时,应遵循税收法定原则、地方财政原则、公平原则、确实原则、渐进原则和结构性调整原则.此外,在制度设计方面,纳税人的设计要体现财产税性质,征税范围要涵盖农村,课税对象要包括存量住房,税率要体现差异性,计税依据要由市场价格评估值确定,税收优惠要兼顾免税面积和特殊人群.     

When You Know Your Neighbour Pays Taxes: Information,Peer Effects and Tax Compliance

In this paper, we suggest that individuals’ tax compliance behaviours are affected by the behaviour of their ‘neighbours’, or those about whom they may have information, whom they may know, or with whom they may interact on a regular basis. Individuals are more likely to file and to report their taxes when they believe that other individuals are also filing and reporting their taxes; conversely, when individuals believe that others are cheating on their taxes, they may well become cheaters themselves. We use experimental methods to test the role of such information about peer effects on compliance behaviour. In one treatment setting, we inform individuals about the frequency that their neighbours submit a tax return. In a second treatment setting, we inform them about the number of their neighbours who are audited, together with the penalties that they pay. In both cases, we examine the impact of information on filing behaviour and also on subsequent reporting behaviour. We find that providing information on whether one's neighbours are filing returns and/or reporting income has a statistically significant and economically large impact on individual filing and reporting decisions. However, this ‘neighbour’ information does not always improve compliance, depending on the exact content of the information.     

政府内源融资:增税的经济约束

政府通过增加税收的内源融资受到经济增长的约束表现为总量和结构两方面。实证结果表明 ,中国近 5年税收的快速增长中政府增税融资比重在 2 5 %——— 5 4 %之间。增税使宏观税负增加不超过2 2 .9% ,宏观税负与政府支出占GDP比重相差不超过 3个百分点为宜 ;增税应以消费支出税类为主 ,资本收入税类、劳动所得税类的增税空间很小。     

公司并购税制的理论与实践

公司并购市场的蓬勃发展,促使对这一领域法制规范的研究成为当前的理论热点。作为调整并购市场法律体系的重要组成部分,税收政策在并购激励和并购能力、并购融资和支付、并购资源整合与绩效等方面都具有深刻影响。本文以法经济学的交易费用及产权分析为理论工具,在借鉴世界公司并购税制,尤其是美、欧公司并购税制成功经验的基础上,审视我国公司并购税制的有效性,并对其完善和改进提出政策建议。     

Tools for Financial Innovation: Neoclassical versus Behavioral Finance

The behavioral finance revolution in academic finance in the last several decades is best described as a return to a more eclectic approach to financial modeling. The earlier neoclassical finance revolution that had swept the finance profession in the 1960s and 1970s represented the overly‐enthusiastic pursuit of only one model. Freed from the tyranny of just one model, financial research is now making faster progress, and that progress can be expected to show material benefits. An example of the application of both behavioral finance and neoclassical finance is discussed: the reform of Social Security and the introduction of personal accounts.
