Evaluation of the green technology innovation efficiency of China's manufacturing industries: DEA window analysis with ideal window width

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) window analysis with ideal window width is applied to evaluate the green technology innovation efficiency of 28 manufacturing industries in China during 2006–2014. The obtained results are compared with those calculated using the traditional DEA model, and convergence analysis of the efficiency is conducted. Five years is the obtained ideal window width and DEA window analysis with ideal window produces results closer to reality for China's manufacturing industry. The overall efficiency of the green technology innovation in the manufacturing sector is low following a wave-shaped curve – first decreasing, then increasing and decreasing again, with large inter-industrial differences. There are 8 high-, 14 medium- and 6 low-efficiency industries. A convergence trend in the green technology innovation efficiency within the 28 manufacturing industries exists, implying a catch-up effect between them.     

Evidence of a glass ceiling for arts and culture professionals in Korea

Using the five available waves of the Wage Structure Survey data, this study employs quantile decomposition to investigate the existence of a glass ceiling among Korean professionals. The decomposition results for all professional workers show an inverse U-shape, which implies no evidence of a glass ceiling. However, we find a monotonically increasing pattern for arts and culture professionals, indicating strong evidence of a glass ceiling on their labour market. This result implies that, as the wage quantile moves from lower to higher levels, female professionals in arts and culture jobs face significant barriers to career advancement. This analysis supports the recent assertion of UNESCO that gender equality in culture is not immune to inequalities and discrimination.     

SOCIAL SECURITY DEPENDENT BENEFITS,NET PAYROLL TAX,AND MARRIED WOMEN'S LABOR SUPPLY

This paper examines how Social Security dependent benefits impact the labor supply of married women aged 25–54. Specifically, I investigate whether the decrease in the rate of return to women's work discourages them from participating in the labor force by simulating expected net payroll tax rates and dependent benefits. Dependent benefits may reduce the net return to women's work, as they usually pay the full payroll tax without receiving marginal benefits for additional earnings if they claim benefits based on their husbands' earnings records. The results show that high net payroll tax rates reduce married women's work incentives, particularly those near retirement age. (JEL H24, H55, J22)     

First Versus Second Mover Advantage with Information Asymmetry about the Profitability of New Markets

Is it better to move first, or second—to innovate, or to imitate? We show that if one player's information about the profitability of new markets is only modestly superior, the possibility of foreclosing the market can lead to a first‐mover advantage. On the other hand, more extreme information superiority can reverse this, leading to a second‐mover advantage. Knowing more surely what is the best choice, the better‐informed player wants to delay to keep his information private and the less‐informed player wants to delay to learn. Because of this, more accurate information can actually lead to inefficiency by increasing the incentive to delay, and exogenous costs of delay can aid efficiency by neutralizing that strategic incentive. In fact, in some circumstances a player may purposely coarsen his information to deter imitation.     

FDI对我国内资企业外溢效应的面板数据分析:以建筑业为例

采用面板数据分析方法,对建筑行业外商直接投资对我国建筑行业的内资企业的溢出效应做了实证分析.结果表明,该溢出效应几乎不存在,且为微弱的负数.将我国分成东、中、西三个经济带,对外商直接投资的溢出效应做进一步的分析,发现东、中部的FDI对建筑行业的内资企业的溢出效应为正,而西部为负,说明FDI的外溢存在着"门槛效应".另外,我国的建筑企业属于资本驱动型产业,人力资本对产出增长的带动作用不明显,建筑企业需要大力提高人力资本的素质.减员增效,仍然任重而道远.     

从“其他绿地”到“区域绿地”： 城市非建设用地下的绿地规划转型 与优化

新版《城市绿地分类标准》(CJJ/T 85—2017)以“区域绿地”代替“其他绿地”，这为城市非建设用地下绿地的保护利用提出了新的要求和目标。解读新标准指导下城市非建设用地中的绿地建设发展要求并进行科学合理的规划，是响应当前城市绿色发展新形势和满足人民日益增长的美好生活新需求所面临的重要课题之一。聚焦从“其他绿地”到“区域绿地”的分类调整，分析新标准下区域绿地的内涵和特征。以河北省承德市为例，结合城乡发展需求，阐述区域绿地规划的核心转型思路。并从目标、内容、方法和评价等方面，论述区域绿地设定下城市非建设用地中绿地规划的具体内容和方向。最后从空间政策、发展引导、部门合作和大众参与等方面，提出了规划实施保障优化的策略。以“区域绿地”的解读为源，聚焦当前城市建设用地内外绿地规划建设割裂的现状问题，提出区域绿地规划的转型优化措施和实践经验，以期为新时代中国城市绿色空间的拓展与优化提供参考。     

Real interest rate linkages in the Pacific-Basin region

This paper examines the linkage of real interest rates of a group of Pacific-Basin countries with a focus on East Asia. We consider monthly real interest rates of US, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Thailand from 1980 to 2006. The impulse response analysis and half-life estimation are conducted in a multivariate setting, adopting the bias-corrected bootstrap as a means of statistical inference. It is found that the degree of capital market integration has increased after the Asian financial crisis in 1997. The overall evidence suggests that the crisis has substantially changed the nature of the short run interactions among the real interest rates. Before the crisis, both the US and Japanese capital markets dominated the region. After the crisis, the dominance of the Japanese market has completely disappeared, while the US market remains as a sole dominant player and the Korean market has become more influential.
