我国第三方物流业发展分析

<正> 第三方物流是物流发展的较高级阶段,是指生产经营企业为集中精力搞好主业,把原来属于自己处理的物流活动,以合同方式委托给专业物流服务企业,同时通过信息系统与物流服务企业保持密切联系,以达到对物流全程的管理和控制的一种物流运作与管理模式。因此又称合同物流。20世纪90年代以来,由于企业业务外包活动的增加,大大促进了第三方物流的发展。     

入世对我国物流业的影响

加入WTO，我国物流业既面临着难得的发展机遇，也面临着严重的冲击与挑战，如何使我国物流业在这个机遇与挑战并存的格局中谋求更大的发展是值得研究的重要课题。一、我国物流业的现状１．观念陈旧，管理体制滞后。重生产轻流通的观念长期存在，造成我国物资流通领域的前几次重大变革都没能成功，物流业的基本建设投资持续走低。物流是流通的重要组成部分，是支撑国民经济发展的重要力量和保障体系。而我国企业往往认为物流服务导致成本增加而不是产品增值，因此企业管理不重视物流，缺乏规划，投资严重不足。在体制上，我国物流业仍是分…     

如何发展我国的第三方物流业

1、第三方物流业的发展能够加快资金周转速度：资金周转速度慢是我国企业普遍存在的现象,因为无论是生产企业还是经营企业,都存在着商品库存庞大周期过长的问题。有资料介绍,我国工业产成品在工业企业库存一般达到45天,在商业企业库存达到35天．库存商品与国内生产总值的比例1996年达到6．8％,而美国1997年汽车、电子产品和零售企业商品的周转时间仅为12天,发达国家库存商品只占国内生产总值的1％,发展中国家为5％。由于库存时间长．比例大．致使资金周转速度缓慢。     

我国物流业的现状及其发展方向

物流业在我国有着很好的发展前景，但我国物流业的发展现状却不容乐观，存在着诸多制约其发展的不利因素。我国物流业的发展要顺应电子物流、专业化第三方物流、全球化物流及绿色物流的发展方向。

促进我国物流金融发展的对策研究

物流金融的发展对降低金融机构风险、方便企业融资、扩大物流企业业务范围都具有积极作用。目前,我国物流金融存在动产质押风险、各参与方信息不对称、物流企业物流金融服务意识不强和能力欠缺、物流金融复合型人才缺乏、物流金融配套环境不佳等问题。应建立多方参与的物流金融平台,加强物流金融信用体系建设,引入行业协会进行规范和引导,多渠道培养复合型的物流金融人才,完善物流金融发展的配套环境,促进物流金融模式向供应链金融模式发展。     

我国现代物流业的发展策略

<正> 一、我国现代物流业存在的主要问题 1、缺乏现代物流业知识和专业物流管理人才。现代物流的发展需要大批懂得业务知识,拥有业务技能的各个层次的受过专业训练的从业人员,而目前制约我国现代物流业发展的最主要的瓶颈之一就是这二者的缺乏。在我国现代物流综合知识远未得到普及,大多只是知道它主要的业务领域是提供运输和仓储,而不     

我国农产品物流的发展研究

农产品物流是农产品流通的重要组成部分。我国农产品物流与国外发达国家相比还存在着很大差距,应改善我国农产品物流的落后状况,提高我国农产品物流效率,促进其迈向现代化。

Effects of fiscal policy in the Northern and Southern regions of Italy

This paper contributes to a growing body of work within ‘fiscal policy studies,’ investigating the recent role of fiscal policy on the Italian economy. Using annual data collected on a regional basis, this study estimates and compares the (impact and cumulative) fiscal multipliers across the North and the South—the less developed area—of Italy. With recourse to a simultaneous equation model for the two macro-areas of Italy, it estimates the overall impact of the measures of budget consolidation policies during the period 2011–2013. Our analysis reveals that tax increases and, with a greater impact, spending cuts, hit the South harder compared to the North.     

The effect of fiscal system reform on fiscal policy outcomes

We investigate how reform in governmental accounting affects fiscal policy outcomes including debt, balance, and fiscal transparency. Since a change from cash to accrual accounting can be regarded as a natural experiment among governments, a fixed-effects model is exploited. We discover that the change diminishes debt in developed countries, but expands it in less-developed ones, with strong effects in highly indebted countries. The change improves balance in developed countries and worsens it in less-developed countries, which is significant for developed countries with large deficits. Transparency is improved only in less transparent developed countries.     

Provincial business cycles and fiscal policy in China

We characterize the cyclical properties of fiscal policy in China along two related dimensions. First, we estimate the sign and size of the fiscal policy multiplier. Second, we assess whether fiscal policy is conducted pro‐ or counter‐cyclically. To account for the challenges posed by China's vast geography, we use data at the provincial level. We find that (i) fiscal policy generally has ‘Keynesian’ effects, and (ii) fiscal policy is mostly conducted pro‐cyclically. This means that fiscal policy is more an element of destabilization than a tool for stabilization.     

Non-Keynesian effects of fiscal policy in OECD economies: an empirical study

This article explores the hypothesis that the propensity to consume out of income varies in a nonlinear fashion with fiscal variables, and in particular with government debt per capita. Using panel data from 18 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, we examine whether there is any empirical evidence to support the hypothesis that households move from non-Ricardian to Ricardian behaviour as government debt reaches high levels and as uncertainty about future taxes increases. Our results provide support for this hypothesis, and also suggest that private and government consumption are complements in the household utility function.     

The effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policy responses to twin crises

We study how effective fiscal and monetary policy responses are during a twin crisis. Using the dataset provided by Laeven and Valencia (2008 Laeven, L and Valencia, F. (2008) Systemic banking crises: a new database. IMF Working Paper No. 08/224 [Google Scholar]), we identify 57 episodes of twin crises. Following the methods proposed in Baldacci et al. (2009 Baldacci, E. 2009. Gupta, S. and Mulas-Granados, C., How effective is fiscal policy response in systemic banking crises?, IMF Working Paper No. 09/160 [Google Scholar]) and Hutchison et al. (2010 Hutchison, M. 2010. Noy, I. and Wang, L., Fiscal and monetary policies and the cost of sudden stops, Journal of International Money and Finance, 29, 973–87 [Google Scholar]), we construct the variables measuring the duration and output cost of a twin crisis. We find that fiscal policy does not seem to be associated with the shortening of a twin crisis. Regarding monetary policy, we find that monetary tightening is associated with the lengthening of a twin crisis duration, consistent with the result in Hutchison et al. (2010 Hutchison, M. 2010. Noy, I. and Wang, L., Fiscal and monetary policies and the cost of sudden stops, Journal of International Money and Finance, 29, 973–87 [Google Scholar]) dealing with a sudden stop crisis. In addition, our results show that while a mild monetary expansion is effective in reducing a twin crisis duration, over-expansionary monetary policy loses its effectiveness.     

Cross-country evidence on determinants of fiscal policy effectiveness: the role of trade and capital flows

This article studies the determinants of size differentials between fiscal multipliers in countries around the world, both advanced and developing economies. We introduce variables not considered before for explaining multiplier size differentials, such as capital flows and the openness of capital markets, while controlling for domestic conditions and exchange rate regimes. We also disaggregate GDP into its main components in order to identify the channels through which external and internal factors can influence GDP after a change in fiscal policy. Our results point to the existence of a new channel through which fiscal policy effectiveness is affected. Capital flows, especially FDI flows, play an important role in determining the sizes of fiscal multipliers, and a country’s external conditions largely explain GDP changes after fiscal expenditure shocks. Our results also point towards a strong link between a country’s international position and its real economy.     

Spillover effects of fiscal policy in a monetary union: Why do fiscal instruments matter?

Using a two‐country DSGE model, we analyse the spillover effects of fiscal policy in a monetary union. Based on a non‐Walrasian labour market with a labour force participation decision and involuntary unemployment and a detailed fiscal sector, we focus on the relative cross‐border effects of different kinds of fiscal shocks (government expenditure and tax shocks). Among the major lessons from this analysis, five general and striking results are worth highlighting : (1) spillover effects differ widely according to the fiscal instrument, (2) all fiscal instruments produce positive spillover effects on foreign GDP except a rise in government consumption, (3) the response of unemployment is not always negatively correlated with the response of output (4) the different fiscal shocks trigger different effects on foreign inflation and the term of trade, which implies heterogeneous interest‐rate and trade channels, and (5) a more accommodative monetary policy and a scenario of ‘fiscal dominance’ alter greatly the effects of fiscal policy shocks.     

Time-varying effects of fiscal policy in Spain: a Markov-switching approach

How have the effects of Spanish fiscal policy varied over time? Given this starting point, in this article we analyse the regime dependence of fiscal policy in Spain by estimating a vector autoregressive model within a Markov-switching framework. Our results indicate that Spain’s membership of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) is the most likely source of time variation in the fiscal outcomes. Accordingly, increases in the primary deficit-to-GDP ratio do not succeed in stimulating economic activity in the first regime; rather, unexpected upsurges in the primary deficit harm economic activity (non-Keynesian effect) in the second regime, which prevails since the ratification of the Maastricht Treaty.
