Allocation of Time and Household-level Consumption Equivalent Welfare: A Case of South Korea

Using “2014 Time Usage and Quality of Life” of 17th KLIPS (Korean Labour and Income Panel Study), the first and most detailed time use survey of its kind in South Korea, we first document the patterns of time use in market work, nonmarket work (household work), child care, and a variety of definitions in leisure. We find that, while men work longer hours, men’s additional market work is well compensated by more leisure and less hours in nonmarket work and child care. We also find within-household unequal distribution of time use in nonmarket work, child care, and leisure in favour of men. Consistent with the cases of the US and other advanced economies, high-income earners tend to enjoy less hours of leisure while they spend more money on leisure activities. Secondly, we calculate the household-level consumption equivalent measure that considers consumption, leisure, life expectancy, and uncertainty. We find that taking into account non-separable preference over leisure and consumption and the quality of leisure is important and household-level welfare measures based solely on income or consumption are both incomplete and misleading.

高铁网络、旅行时间与城市创新质量

基于2005-2017年的铁路列车时刻表数据,构建多时期DID模型评估了高铁开通对城市创新质量的影响.结果表明:高铁开通能够显著提升城市创新质量,且这种促进作用在创新主体、区域与行业等方面均具有一定异质性.使用城市间旅行时间数据构建高铁网络并进行进一步的机制检验发现,通过缩短旅行时间,高铁开通可提高城市在铁路网络中的地位与市场可达性,最终实现城市创新质量的提升.     

Trade Diversification and Crisis Transmission: A Case Study of Thailand

The international trade literature suggests trade concentration is an important factor in the amplification of the global financial crisis. However, the relationship between trade concentration and transmission of the subprime crisis is empirically weak. Thailand is one of the countries with declining reliance on the advanced economies, yet it was greatly affected by the recent crisis. This might result because the formation of global supply chains creates both direct and indirect trade linkages. In this paper, the authors include the effects of both linkages to examine their connection to the transmission of external shocks, as experienced by the Thai economy. If total trade linkages are calculated, Thailand is still found to be highly exposed to advanced markets. Simulation using a computational general equilibrium model also indicates that the country was seriously affected by the financial crisis through indirect channels.     

Developing Social Citizenship？ A Case Study of Education and Health Services in Yantian Village of Guangdong Province

Social policy is an indispensable element of rule and China’s current leadership has moved policy to a more inclusive system based on a notion of citizenship.The extension of social welfare provision is examined through a case study of education and health care in the South China village of Yantian.Yantian lies at the core of the Pearl River Delta,which has become a key link in the global reorganization of manufacturing and production.Consequently,the village is home to some 80 000 migrant workers who complement the 3000 registered inhabitants.A study of education and health-care provision reveals that in terms of equity, registered villagers enjoy significant advantages in seeking welfare resources.Although living in the same village,the two groups inhabit "different worlds." However,provision, while selective,has become more inclusive.The present research suggests that "social citizenship " will precede "political citizenship."     

Assessing Local Government Debt Risks in China: A Case Study of Local Government Financial Vehicles

Strong credit expansion in China after the recent global financial crisis has brought local government financial vehicles (LGFV) into the spotlight. Rapid growth of LGFV has triggered concern about local government indebtedness, banks' asset quality and, more broadly, China's medium‐term financial stability and sovereign risk. This paper constructs a unique firm‐level dataset to evaluate the country's local government debt. We find an uneven distribution of LGFV, which are concentrated in the coastal areas, and a deterioration of their debt repaying ability from 2010 to 2012. We use principal component analysis (PCA) along with multivariate discriminate analysis (MDA) to identify the credit risk of LGFV based on conventional financial variables as well as local governments' fiscal status. We also estimate the safe boundaries of debt bearing at the provincial government level. The estimations reveal more severe local government debt risks in the middle‐western provinces and higher risks associated with LGFV at the municipal and county levels. Although it is very unlikely that there will be a national debt crisis in China, the high risk of LGFV should be noted and effectively controlled by improving the fiscal transparency of local governments and reforming the fiscal system.     

中日农民收入与消费结构比较研究

农村是我国最大的消费市场,目前我国农民消费需求不足已成为制约经济增长的主要因素之一。通过对日本与我国农民收入与消费结构的比较研究发现,我国农民不仅收入水平低,而且收入来源单一,这是造成农民的消费水平差异的主要原因。在消费结构方面,中日两国的变化趋势相似。这一研究对于解决我国的农民消费问题提供了一些启示。     

Financial Market Volatility and International Reserve Holding Behaviour: A Case Study for Korea,Indonesia, the Philippines,and Thailand

Abstract

The effects of financial market volatility on the international reserve holding behaviour of four Asian countries that experienced the financial crisis in 1997—Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand are investigated. The financial market volatility is modelled and the effect on reserve dynamics, reserve accumulation, and reserve volatility is estimated. Estimations are taken for two periods—pre- and post-crisis—and the structural break test is performed to examine the change in the effects on reserve holding behaviour. The empirical results, in general, support the evidence for the structural change in the effects on reserve holding behaviour after the crisis. This would be one of the evidences of the precautionary motive for reserve holdings after the crisis.

总体公共政策与发展战略——国际视野下中国案例透视

文章以新的视角来研究国家发展的曲折历程,即区分考察不同的总体公共政策（GPP）及发展战略。在经历了一系列挫折之后,中国确立了以经济建设为中心而在方法（主义）上博采众长的总体公共政策,并在这条中国特色的道路上有了迅猛发展。经济改革导致“经济社会”现象出现的同时削减了政府的经济职能,政策重点最近已向社会经济平衡发展模式转变。中国可从有“发展型福利”新趋向的西方国家汲取经验以免重蹈传统福利国家之覆辙。

少数民族地区经济高质量发展测度及对策建议--以新疆地区为例

本文选取2000年-2017年新疆15个地州(市)为样本,运用索罗残差法计算全要素生产率、资本和劳动力投入对经济增长的贡献率。研究发现,新疆目前处于规模经济阶段,增长方式为资本密集型,技术进步在经济增长过程中的作用逐渐减弱。其中,少数民族高度聚居的南疆地区处于规模报酬不变阶段,粗放式经济增长特征较北疆地区更明显。同时发现,第二次中央新疆工作座谈会召开后,新疆各投入要素结构逐渐优化,供给侧结构性改革成效初显,正从规模速度型粗放增长逐渐向质量效率型集约增长转变。基于此,本文从扩大开放格局、促进少数民族地区技术进步、完善人才引进和培养机制、合理配置投入要素资源等方面提出优化新疆高质量发展路径的政策建议,为促进全国少数民族地区高质量发展提供参考。     

中日经济高速增长期的中产阶层规模差距比较分析

中日两国同是人口大国,同为政府主导型经济发展模式,同样经历过较长时间的高速经济增长而进入工业化中后期,但日本形成了中产阶层为主的社会结构;而中国到目前中产阶层只占人口总数的23%左右,远低于1975年日本工业化中后期的77%。这一现象来自于两国服务发展、教育、人口城市化、社会保障、税制结构等方面的差异。

论农村筹资筹劳“一事一议”制度存在的问题与完善——贵州省例

农村税费改革后，村内兴办集体公益事业所需资金和劳务，已不再固定向农民收取，而是通过开展“一事一议”的办法筹资筹劳。但“一事一议”制度实施几年来，并没有达到预期的效果，这既有制度本身的问题，也有制度执行的问题。要使“一事一议”制度达到预期效果，完善农村“一事一议”制度，有必要对当前实施情况进行实地调查，并作分析讨论。     

Success Strategies in the Chinese Chemical Industry: A Survey and Case Study Investigations

Rapid economic growth and radical structural transformation pose a challenge to official statisticians as they seek to encompass new economic activities and phenomena. The accuracy of official statistics is liable to come into question. Urban unemployment in China is a good example. This paper estimates the urban unemployment rate using administrative statistics, population census data and a recent sample survey data set, and provides a critique showing in some detail how and why Chinese unemployment statistics are a minefield for the unwary and unemployment is so difficult to measure. Nevertheless, it is found that the urban unemployment rate rose rapidly over the 1990s and exceeded 11% in 1999 and 2000. The paper concludes by considering the implications of the findings for understanding unemployment, for policy, and for the collection of statistics.
