REGIONAL ANTI‐CORRUPTION EFFORT,POLITICAL CONNECTIONS AND FIRM INNOVATION EFFORT: EVIDENCE FROM CHINA

This paper examines how firm characteristics and local anti‐corruption effort moderate the influence of political connections on enterprises’ private R&D investment using data from 2,587 Chinese A‐share listed enterprises. Our results show that the local anti‐corruption institutional environment significantly moderates the strong relationship between political connections and enterprises’ private R&D investment. Firm characteristics (i.e., firm size and firm age) also show a moderating effect on the relationship between political connection and enterprises’ private R&D investment; larger and older enterprises are more likely to have innovative resources and business cooperation partners, and thus are able to reduce their degree of reliance on political connections and government funding. The results of our study suggest the importance of having a transparent and fair institutional environment for enterprise innovation activities.     

俄罗斯金融自由化演进过程概述

金融自由化是一个国家经济与金融发展到一定阶段后必然经历的过程.俄罗斯与中国都是由计划经济向市场经济转轨的国家,实行金融自由化改革,可以改善政府对金融的过度干预,增强国内的筹资功能,使利率准确反应资金供求,汇率准确反应外汇供求,进而达到抑制通货膨胀,实现经济增长的目的,但是,金融自由化也会加剧金融脆弱性,可能会导致危机引起经济衰退.因此,我国可以借鉴俄罗斯金融自由化进程中的经验,平衡金融自由化的两面性,将其运用于中国金融自由化的实践中.     

Regional disparity of embedded carbon footprint and its sources in China: a consumption perspective

Carbon emission reduction could be achieved through extensive cooperation between relevant groups such as businesses, governments and consumers. Generally, carbon emissions stem from consumer behaviour. To tackle the increasingly serious energy crisis and climate change in China, it is thus vital to control carbon emissions generated by the country's urban consumers. From a consumption perspective, we utilize a self-organizing feature map model to analyse the spatial differentiation of per capita embedded carbon footprint (ECF) in urban China. We found that the spatial differentiation is significant with the per capita ECF of the east coastal area at a high level and that per capita disposable income is the key factor affecting ECF. Based on these findings, potential business opportunities to develop low-carbon products are discussed.     

清醒认识中国低生育率风险

中国人口少子化和老龄化的发展速度和程度显著超出以往预期。面对少子化、老龄化的人口新常态,人口领域需要有较大的改革。当前人口工作思路存在与人口现实之间的种种矛盾,问题的核心是对低生育风险缺乏足够清醒的认识,人口工作存在只重当下、罔顾未来的偏向。生育政策调整的实质是对过去计划生育过度的补救和改正,既是对生育率过低这一主要人口风险的应对,也是人口发展彻底转向正常化、均衡化的需要。

基于知识产权的组织间关系网络的演化特征

分析了基于知识产权的组织间关系网络的基本内涵和构成要素,将基于知识产权的组织间关系网络的生命周期划分为5个阶段——创立阶段、成长阶段、成熟阶段、衰退阶段和解散阶段,具体论述了各阶段的组织间关系网络的演化特征。以对450家企业的深度访谈和问卷调查为基础,通过描述性统计分析、因子分析以及多元方差分析来实证研究目标一致性、信息沟通以及信任等关系属性在各阶段的传递规律。研究结果表明,基于知识产权的组织间关系属性的顶峰阶段并非都出现在关系生命周期的成熟阶段。

转型期捷克福利体系改革及对中国的启示

捷克福利体系由社会保险、家庭政策和社会救助三部分组成。通过对转型期捷克福利体系三个组成部分实施的改革进行分析得出结论：尽管捷克福利模式没有实施养老金私有化等自由主义倾向明显的改革措施，但总体上仍然向着盎格鲁撒克逊自由主义福利模式转变，国家责任逐渐减少，市场力量逐步增强。结合捷克改革过程中的经验提出对中国养老金改革的一点建议。
