The Efficiency of Active Labor Market Policies: A Comparative Analysis of Tunisia and OECD Countries’

ABSTRACT

On the third anniversary of the Egyptian revolution and against the backdrop of lingering political instability and deteriorating economic conditions, we diagnose the constraints to sectoral growth in Egypt using the 2011 Egyptian revolution as a natural experiment. We combine quantile regressions to study sector outliers with a difference in difference methodology to capture sectoral behavior before and after revolution. We find that the revolution's effect has been adverse, on average, but heterogeneous across sectors. We identify and characterize sectors most and least impacted. Results reveal that Egypt's fastest growing sectors before Revolution have been the most vulnerable after Revolution. This evidence is supported by our diagnosis approach that shows that faster growing sectors are constrained by continuous increases in prices that threaten export competitiveness (as they erode the benefits accrued to nominal depreciation of currency). Such sectors also benefited from higher monetary growth and fewer constraints on credit availability that have mitigated somewhat the speed of deterioration in the aftermath of the revolution. Our results, which hold under several robustness checks, inform policy priorities as to how to revive investors’ confidence, boost competitiveness, and design priorities in industrial policy to ease structural impediments and align sectoral growth with macro priorities.

Analysis of the Competition in China＇s Supermarket Sector

China＇s supermarket sector has been growing with a high rate for ten years. Relying on the advantages of new formats and adapting to the economic change of China, several China＇s supermarket companies have replaced the traditional department stores to become the leading player in retail industry of China. Although the interesting phenomenon shows that although these supermarket companies have the inherent problems of shortage of capital and weaknesses in management, their expansion is more emphasized on sizes and speeds. Being weak in management and over squeezing ,margin from suppliers that might lead their position to be vulnerable. Their market share is taken by different competitors, more notably by foreign giant retailers. Competition will become more fierce and complex. Merging, making joint ventures with foreign investors, expanding into chain and fuU-format retailer, hunting for skillful people would be the key strategic options to keep the sector＇s growth.

The Expanding Analysis of Enterprise＇s Human Capital Investment Value

Value is the scale that appraises whether the comparison between a certain thing and its realization which we need to consume is rational. The paper appraises the investment value and incomes of human capital by applying value engineering method. It elaborates the investment structure and contents of human capital first, and then analyzes and summarizes various functions of enterprise＇s human capital. It educes the production function and the optimum equilibrium solution of human capital on this basis. Finally, it appraises the investment value of human capital by applying VE method. Thus we will apply a new method in the human capital field.

Measurement and Analysis of Affecting Factors of Wuxi＇ s Industrial Carbon Emission

采用IPCC关于碳排放的计算方法,计算了无锡市1992--2010年的工业碳排放量。结果显示,近18年来无锡市工业碳排放量增长迅速,并表现出明显的阶段性特征,大致呈S型曲线。接着,应用回归分析模型,分析了影响无锡工业碳排放的主要因素,结果表明人均工业增加值是工业碳排放的主要促进因素,产业结构系数和能源效率是工业碳排放的主要抑制因素,工业利用外资对无锡工业碳排放增长也具有较大贡献。然后,运用灰色预测模型对无锡市工业碳排放量进行预测,显示无锡市未来5年工业碳排放量将继续缓慢增长,平均年增长率为2．8％,但由于基数庞大,工业碳排放增加的绝对量仍然很大,减排任务艰巨。最后,提出无锡市减少工业碳排放的对策措施,即加快产业结构调整、加强工业低碳技术研发、提高能源效率、积极利用清洁能源和合理引进外商投资。     

When Does One Bad Apple Spoil the Barrel? An Evolutionary Analysis of Collective Action

This paper studies collective-action games in which the production of a public good requires teamwork. A leading example is a threshold game in which provision requires the voluntary participation of m out of n players. Quantal-response strategy revisions allow play to move between equilibria in which a team successfully provides, and an equilibrium in which the collective action fails. A full characterization of long-run play reveals the determinants of success; these include the correlation between players' costs of provision and their valuations for the good. The addition of an extra "bad apple" player can "spoil the barrel" by destabilizing successful teams and so offers a rationale for limiting the pool of possible contributors.     

Stock Market： Comparisons of the Achievements of China＇s State-owned Enterprises and Private-owned Enterprises

With China taking its reform and opening policy, the private economy has been developed rapidly now, especially going public. It is discovered that there are two ways of entering China＇s stock market： one is direct listing; the other is indirect listing. Private enterprise studied in this paper excludes state-owned economy. Since 1996 in China, a number of private listing corporations have been going increased year by year, and indirect listing has become the main form of private enterprises＇ access to stock market. In the paper, the author made a substantial evidence analysis on the 53 private corporations, which have entered China＇s stock market by the end of 1998. By means of the SHAZAM regression test analysis, the author draws a surprising conclusion： as far as private listing companies are concerned, state-ownership enterprise＇s efficiency is more satisfied than private ones. This indicates that improving the management of private enterprise has already been on the agenda.     

The China＇s Mode Reform Process of Market Economy System and the Level of Marketization

This paper tries to set up an index system to evaluate the development level of China＇s market economy from 1992 to 2001.     

China’s Outward FDI: An Industry-Level Analysis of Host-Country Determinants

We use disaggregated data by country and industry to empirically analyze the host country determinants of Chinese outward foreign direct investment (FDI) for the years 2003 to 2011. Our results suggest that the host-country determinants of Chinese FDI differ between high- and low-income countries. While all Chinese FDI is invariably market seeking, other motivations stand out for differing sectors in specific country groups. The resource seeking motivation is relevant for manufacturing FDI to high-income countries with relatively high fuel abundance, and to low-income countries with primary resource abundance (other than fuels). Differently, the strategic-asset seeking motivation, measured by the level of R&D spending on GDP, only positively and significantly affects Chinese manufacturing and service FDI to OECD countries, while higher education levels are an attraction factor for all investing firms. Natural resource is an important attraction factor for Chinese FDI, not only in resource-related sectors, but also in manufacturing and service sectors. Finally, Chinese FDI tends to follow exports (rather than foster them), especially in service sectors.
