中国汇率制度的改革逻辑:强化主权与内生推进

危机以来,以美国为首的西方发达国家推动人民币升值可谓"表现积极",然而这种求它不求己的政策并未如其所愿地提振其国内经济。就中国而言,汇率制度改革一直内生推进,而建立"超主权货币"的设想由于缺乏有效理论和实践支撑,无法真正改变目前内外受困的被动局面。基于主权货币理论并结合中国汇率制度改革的内在逻辑,文章认为拥有主权货币的经济大国具有不受"汇率制度"约束而自主调控经济的灵活性与弹性,中国合理的汇率制度应该是中外经济交往内生发展的结果,而不是原因。过快推动或人为抑制人民币升值不但无助于贸易均衡的实现,反而会影响国内经济结构的调整和改革进程,而内生、渐进地实施浮动汇率制度改革不但能够强化人民币的"货币主权",保证国内经济稳定可持续发展,还可推动国际经济新秩序的形成。

委内瑞拉新暴利税对中国石油企业投资项目的效益影响及应对策略

2011年新颁布的委内瑞拉暴利税法,是委内瑞拉继2007年将石油工业国有化之后针对油气行业的又一重大举措。新暴利税法案中最高税率为95%,且起征点油价从70美元/桶下调到40美元/桶。新暴利税颁布后,外国石油投资者在委的石油投资收益空间被进一步挤压,延长了投资回收时间,增大了投资风险。对中国石油企业来说,新暴利税恶化了项目的收益,特别是重油项目的收益。石油投资企业须利用好新暴利税法案中的免征条款,降低其不利影响。为了降低中委合作风险,建议中国石油企业推动国家层面的对话;加强与国外石油公司的合作;增强内部的风险管控能力;提高服务队伍技术水平。     

我国保税区转型途径与模式探索

我国的保税区1990年开始设立，至今共设立了15个保税区。经过多年来的发展，其经济实力不断增强，在连接国内与国外两个市场，促进国际贸易，引进国外资金和技术，促进我国经济适应全球化潮流等方面，都发挥了很大的作用。但随着经济全球化的不断发展，特别是在我国加入世界贸易组织以后，我国保税区的发展在多个方面部面临着严峻的挑战。国内诸多专家学者在研究境外一些类似经济体的发展历程和现状的基础上，结合我国现有保税区的实际情况，都认为我国保税区应发展转型为自由贸易区。而对于各个保税区，由于环境条件和当地政府政策导向等诸多因素的存在，出现了不同的发展特点，其产业格局也有诸多差异，形成为不同类型，其转型显然不能按照一个模式进行，需要进行科学认真的研究与分析。
