对商业贿赂说“No”

从上个世纪70年代以来，随着经济全球化的深入，联合国等国际组织以及不少发达国家政府都制定了反商业贿赂、强化企业合规经营的法规。这些法规管制力度不断加强，不仅在发达经济体而且在发展中国家也产生越来越大的影响。随着这个趋势的发展，只要参与经济全球化，那么任何国家的企业都可能被卷入反对商业贿赂强化合规经营的潮流。     

我是QQ好友的“No.1”

现在，腾讯的网站上又可以申请免费的QQ了，但却有很多限制，如每30天必须登录一次，申请完后3天内必须登录等限制。但这些都没什么，对于我们这些平常人来说，能有免费的就是天上掉馅饼了，正好有些机会多收集几个QQ。但是腾讯在这方面却有限制，在一定时间内只能申请—个QQ，这就让我们比较头痛了。具体是多长时间的限制，我也没有这个耐心去等，但是我们却有另一种“crack”精神。     

Who Gains from the “No War No Peace” Situation? A Critical Analysis of the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict

Since the outbreak of the conflict in the second half of the 1980s, Nagorno-Karabakh has been represented from two perspectives of ethnic incompatibility, which justifies ethnic cleansing by matching the state borders with ethnic ones, and the Great Game narrative, which examines the conflict as part of the global power struggle in the Eurasian continent by disregarding societies and undemocratic regimes in the region. However, time has revealed that these perspectives neither appreciate the internal conditions of the conflict nor offer a way out of the current impasse. By criticising the ‘commonsense’ and ‘realness’ of these representations, this study argues that analysing who gains from the current status quo will offer solutions for a sustainable peace in the region. As long as undemocratic regimes of Azerbaijan and Armenia are satisfied with the status quo and outside powers maximise their interests, the ‘no war no peace’ situation will not be challenged. A way out is only possible by including the people, who are actually on the losing side, in the decision-making and peace-making process.     

Can television bring down a dictator? Evidence from Chile’s “No” campaign

Can televised political advertising change voting behavior in elections held in authoritarian regimes? We study the case of Chile, where the opposition used television campaigns weeks before the election that ended the seventeen-year dictatorship known as the Pinochet regime. Using national surveys conducted before the election and administrative electoral data, we provide evidence of a positive effect of television exposure on opposition votes. When compared to similar estimates in democracies, the effect of campaigns in Chile appear large. These results suggest that televised political campaigns can help to defeat dictators at the polls.

What If There Are No Conventional Price Mechanisms?

Inspired by Frederic (“Fred”) S. Lee’s theoretical contribution to institutional-heterodox economics, I make the case that the neoclassical price mechanism is not only flawed, but also irrelevant for the study of actual coordination mechanisms, hence the price mechanism — as a theory as well as a way of thinking — should be discarded. While this position was addressed by early institutionalists, starting with Thorstein Veblen, later institutionalists have not completely rejected the price mechanism. The sympathy for the price mechanism has prevented institutionalists (and other heterodox economists) from fully developing an alternative theoretical framework concerning how actual economic activities are organized. I, therefore, provide an institutionalist-heterodox framework of the provisioning process focusing on business enterprise activities. This framework shows how institutional economics becomes more refined and useful when it is married to other traditions in heterodox economics, in particular, Marxian, social, and post-Keynesian economics. Such an integrative approach is what Fred Lee showed through his work toward producing a better theory and policy for the underlying population.     

“钱袋子”“米袋子”

大力实施外向经济带动战略的山东省烟台市,国民经济高速增长,人均生产总值达7200多元。与此同时,在人均不足1.1亩耕地(粮田不足0.8亩)、低于全国平均水平的情况下,通过实施强有力的宏观调控和保护政策,着力营造稳定粮食生产的“小气候”,人均占有粮食450公斤,高于全国平均水平,农民人均纯收入达1772元。实现了“钱袋子”“米袋子”同步增长。烟台的经验说明:沿海发达地区“钱袋子”鼓起来、“米袋子”瘪下去是一种不正常现象。
