铁路改革中的立法弊端与权利救济探究

随着国家机构改革的推进,铁路改革越来越成为社会关注的焦点.在建设法治国家的全局战略之下,法治化、市场化的铁路改革才是符合国家、社会与民众需求的.改革有必要一扫过去立法、执法方面的弊端,重构严谨、周密的铁路法律制度.铁路立法为旅客维权,民众权利救济提供依据才可能最大程度地维护民众权利,进而得到民众的赞同与支持.

The location of American and Japanese multinationals in Europe

This paper examines the determinants of location choice of American and Japanese foreign direct investment in European manufacturing industries in the early 1990s. The new data used in this study covers 340 Japanese-owned affiliates and 2,312 US-owned affiliates distributed across 38 regions and 7 member states in the European Union. The statistical analysis finds, most importantly, that the location decisions of US and Japanese MNEs are not the same. The Japanese results are consistent with the behavior that firms consider production-cost factors more important than demand-side factors, suggesting Japanese firms’ motive to establish local production capacity to export within the EU market. On the contrary, both cost-side and demand-side factors are found important determinants of location choices for US firms. The results also suggest that location decisions are industry-specific.

废墟中的一城气质

气质不仅仅华丽于阳光之下,对于一座城池来说,月光之静美,更能抒发它的神秘气质,蓝而深幽,比白日更盛大。同样的,气质不仅仅存在于存在之中,对于一座城池来说,废墟之上或之下,埋藏着秘密,也埋藏着气质。著名建筑评论家方振宁一直关注废墟背后的秘密,他眼里的废墟主要有两类。一种是被遗弃的遗址,比如有军事用途的岛屿,废弃了留下很

The principles of privatization in Eastern Europe

Summary The paper surveys the choice criteria in selecting the mode of privatization. The main aspects are: 1. the sociological aspect with a longer time horizon, and in particular the objective to create a large class of business people; 2. economic aspects, and in particular the objective to increase efficiency and improve management; 3. political aspects and, 4. distributional-ethical aspects, including considerations of restitution and compensation for the loss of confiscated property.

The significance of the evolution of personal owners gets special emphasis. Further subjects of the discussion are employee ownership, various forms of institutional ownership, give-away schemes of privatization and property rights of foreigners. Finally, the author explains his position concerning the speed of privatization.Fourth Tinbergen Lecture, delivered on October 19, 1990 in Utrecht for the Royal Netherlands Economic Association.

铁路的长期经济影响:基于中国1980年铁路线的研究

铁路与经济发展之间的关系得到了大量的研究,但均集中于短期经济影响,且很少关注铁路在发展中国家从传统农业社会向工业社会转型过程中的作用。文章使用中国1980年的铁路线研究了铁路在中国转型期对县域经济发展的长期影响。研究发现,铁路开通对县域经济发展具有显著的长期促进作用,具体来说,以2000年数据为例,1980年铁路线对以GDP为衡量指标的经济发展的年均促进作用为1.16%。排除了无法观测因素和溢出效应、控制县级异质性、以及使用"三线建设"作为外生冲击的结果均支持上述结论。机制检验发现,铁路促进了县域层面的工业化,同时还显著增加了县域层面的外商投资和出口,进而促进了经济发展。本文的研究不仅提供了铁路的长期经济影响的经验证据,同时也揭示了以铁路为代表的基础设施对经济转型的作用,从而有助于理解中国经济增长奇迹,也为其他发展中国家转型提供了借鉴。

The challenge of 1992 Europe

Conclusion When the single market of Europe 1992 is in place, the EC will rank next to the U. S. in purchasing power and will represent one of the two largest markets in the world. With the realization of the proposed monetary union, the parallel will become even more striking.Economies of scale and scope will result from: decreased border controls; unified technical standards; reduced distribution and marketing costs; and standardized rules and regulations in the manufacturing and financial sectors. Firms will face many challenges and opportunities in this new market structure. Companies must realize that changes are not limited to just the economic environment but are also taking place in the political, legal, and social environments.The European business environment is experiencing an exciting time of change. Businesses must take advantage of the opportunities presented by a diverse and complex single European market, not only in the economic sense but also in a more complex socio-political one. It is indeed an exciting time of change.     

世界城市的形成与城市群的支撑——兼谈长三角城市群的发展战略

世界城市的形成,是与其所在城市群的综合实力与支撑分不开的。如果把世界城市比作是一座高耸的塔,那么其周边的城市群就如同这个塔的“基础”。对于一个要建成世界城市的城市来说,夯实其所在城市群的总体经济实力,加强这个城市与周边城市的经济联系是极其重要的。当前,长三角城市群的现代雏形已经初步形成,把上海建设成世界城市的目标已经确立,当务之急是要进一步加强联动,形成区域内各城市间功能分工明确、经济全面合作、制度统一、互为依托、共同繁荣的具有全球竞争力的城市群网络体系。
