国债期货与我国利率市场化推进——兼评国债期货仿真合约的功能发挥

随着我国金融体制改革进程的不断深入,利率市场化成为当前亟待解决的重难点问题。当前,国债期货重新推出条件成熟,国债期货的推出不仅有助于发现基准利率,更有助于规避利率风险,对我国利率市场化改革多有裨益。通过对国债期货仿真交易时期合约功能发挥的实证研究,发现国债期货与现货价格存在均衡关系,且初步表现出一定的风险规避功能。     

供应链核心企业社会责任研究——以复杂网络理论为视角

核心企业往往通过制定不合理契约将社会责任风险转移到供应链中的相关利益方.通过复杂网络理论构建核心型供应链网络拓扑结构模型,对核心型供应链网络中社会责任风险传播的非线性动力学行为进行分析,研究表明:一方面,由于供应链网络具有非线性的特点,导致社会责任风险在整个供应链网络中涌现,最终严重影响到核心企业以及供应链的适应性成长;另一方面,核心企业在供应链网络中具有较高的度,对供应链网络的稳定性起到决定性作用.因此,有必要通过强化核心企业的社会责任主导作用来实现供应链社会责任治理.     

Business Groups: An Integrated Model to Focus Future Research

abstract    Business groups are the primary form of managing large business organizations outside North America. This paper provides a systematic and integrative framework for understanding business groups. We argue that existing theoretical perspectives of business groups pay attention to four critical external contexts, each of which draws from a specific theoretical perspective: market conditions (transaction cost theory), social relationships (relational perspective), political factors (political economy perspective), and external monitoring mechanisms (agency theory). Business groups adapt to these external forces by deploying various internal mechanisms along two key dimensions: one focuses on the distinctive roles of the group affiliates (horizontal connectedness) and the other focuses on coupling and order between the parent firm and its affiliates (vertical linkages). Based on these two dimensions, a typology of business group forms is developed: network (N-form), club (C-form), holding (H-form), and multidivisional (M-form). Utilizing this model we provide research questions which facilitate an improved future research agenda.     

基于创新过程的科技创新政策体系研究

针对科技创新政策体系构建存在的理论基础薄弱、涵盖面不全等问题,从科技创新的主要特点及科技创新过程中存在的问题出发,基于政府作用角度构建了科技创新政策体系框架,并对比分析了中美两国近期实施的供给面、需求面和环境面科技创新政策,提出了若干对策建议。     

失地农民低保制度建设的分析探讨

伴随着城市化的步伐,承包给农民的部分农村集体土地被征用,不少失地农民因此成为"种田无地,上班无岗,低保无份"的"三无"人员。目前全国各地针对失地农民中的贫困者的制度设计和救助水平不同,由此也对低保制度构成挑战,这其中有制度性原因,也有地方规划等政策导向因素。总体来说,将贫困失地农民纳入城市低保制度体系是社会发展的趋势,需要从调整土地安置政策、加强全面的社会救助制度、加强社会管理等方面来解决贫困失地农民的生存和发展问题。     

企业创新、生命周期与聚集经济

企业创新会受其所处生命周期阶段及所在城市其他企业在地理上集聚而产生的外部经济影响。本文运用2007年中国规模以上工业企业数据进行实证研究,发现企业的创新在生命周期不同阶段会受益于不同的聚集经济:新生或年轻企业的创新更多地受益于产业多样化带来的雅各布外部经济,成熟企业的创新则更多地受益于产业专业化带来的马歇尔外部经济。本文为文献中关于马歇尔外部性还是雅各布外部性更促进企业创新的争论提供了新的经验检验证据。     

Popular Geopolitics,Audiences and Identities: Reading the ‘War on Terror’ in the Philippines

Audience research has traditionally been neglected within the subfield of popular geopolitics. However in recent years, geographers are increasingly focusing on the making of geopolitical meanings by audiences as they consume popular culture and related texts. Drawing on recent assemblage thinking in geopolitics, this paper argues that audiences form part of the animators of a network that links the human body with places, environments, objects and discourses related to geopolitics. By investigating Filipinos’ critical readings of and engagements with the ‘war on terror’ in Mindanao as represented through the national newspaper, the Philippines Daily Inquirer, the agency and power of audiences in the creative enactments of geopolitics and geography are illuminated. As such, understanding the complex interactions between popular media and its audiences can prove useful in casting insights into the everyday, geopolitical ‘playing out’ of issues of terrorism, violence and peace in the Philippines context and beyond.     

THE IMPACT OF ANTI‐TERRORISM EXPENDITURE ON ECONOMIC GROWTH AND WELFARE

This paper examines the effects of increasing anti‐terrorism expenditure on economic growth rate and social welfare. It is shown that: (i) spending the least amount possible on anti‐terrorism expenditure will lead to a maximum economic growth rate; and (ii) to achieve maximum social welfare, the government should allocate its budget to anti‐terrorism expenditure. The results shed light on why the US government has chosen to uphold and pursue its anti‐terrorism policies in recent years to present day.     

区域技术相容性及其经济收益指标分析--兼谈西部投资收益的技术水平结构差异

文章提出了区域技术相容性的概念,并着重讨论了这一概念中的经济收益指标。从西部区域技术相容性经济收益指标的度量入手,通过对统计数据的计算和整理,分析了这一指标与技术含量成正比等四个特征,研究了形成这些特征的原因,并对我国西部开发中投资收益的技术水平结构差异中的若干问题提出了建议,认为在西部投入技术含量较高的项目更为经济;加大西部大开发的科技投入,不仅必需,而且合算。     

Transport infrastructure investments and competition for FDI

This paper studies how transport infrastructure investments (TIIs) affect a bidding war for a firm between two asymmetric countries within a region in a context of imperfect competition, where TIIs play the role of a global public good, leading to a reduction in the unit trade cost between the two countries. A number of interesting results are derived from the model. In particular, TIIs can intensify fiscal competition between the two countries. Surprisingly, this conventional wisdom seems to be confirmed by this paper for the first time. Welfare implications of the model are also examined.
