官员晋升压力、金融市场化与房价增长

本文以我国34个大中城市为样本,研究了地方官员晋升压力、金融市场化水平对我国房地产价格的影响。我们发现地方官员的晋升压力对其辖区内主要城市房价的增长有正向作用,金融市场化程度与房价增长呈倒U型关系。另外,在政府资源控制力强的城市中,晋升压力对房价增长的促进作用和金融市场化对房价增长的抑制作用都更加明显。我们的研究表明,地方官员以GDP增长为核心的考核机制导致地方政府有干预房地产市场的激励,地方政府对于经济资源的控制为这种干预创造了条件。     

试析个人所得税对区域间城镇居民收入差距的调节效果

本文根据2006～2012年《中国统计年鉴》和《中国税务年鉴》的相关数据,研究了个人所得税对区域间城镇居民收入差距的调节效果。发现:个人所得税能够缩小区域间城镇居民的收入差距,但效果有限。其中,工资性收入的个人所得税对区域间居民收入差异的调节作用相对显著;财产性收入的个人所得税调节作用相对较弱;经营性收入的个人所得税调节作用非常有限,甚至出现逆向调节效果。     

通胀的成本因素、传导机制及其区域差异——基于中国省际面板数据的实证研究

以1996～2010年我国企业生产要素和劳动力成本的面板数据,对国内成本推动型通胀的影响因素从传导机制、地区差异等方面进行了较为深入的探索性研究。研究发现,1996～2010年间劳动力工资和国际大宗商品价格是推动中国通胀的两大重要成本因素。其中,国际大宗商品价格主要通过企业生产要素价格推高我国通胀,而国际油价则通过企业劳动力成本推动国内通胀;另外中、西部地区通胀来自劳动力成本的压力较为明显,但东部地区压力相对较小;同时中部地区通胀能够有效地避免国际大宗商品价格的冲击,而东、西部地区通胀却遭受较为严重的大宗商品价格冲击。     

How to Spot a Careerist Early On: Psychopathy and Exchange Ideology as Predictors of Careerism

Careerism refers to an individual’s propensity to achieve their personal and career goals through nonperformance-based activities (Feldman, The Indus Org Psychol 39–44, 1985). We investigated the role of several dispositional predictors of careerism, including Five-factor model (FFM) personality traits, primary psychopathy, and exchange ideology. Based on data from 131 respondents, as expected, we observed that emotional stability was negatively correlated with careerism. Primary psychopathy and exchange ideology explained additional variance in careerism after accounting for FFM traits. Relative importance analyses indicated that psychopathy (relative weight percentage of explained variance = 42.1 %) and exchange ideology (relative weight percentage = 44.1 %) were equally important in predicting careerism. We highlight the need for future research efforts investigating the combined effects of contextual factors—particularly, human resource practices—and individual differences to understand careerism in the workplace.     

The FTA Music Is Playing in Asia: After ECFA,Will Taiwan Join the Dance?

In the context of stalled multilateral trade negotiations, major trading economies are seeking free trade agreements (FTAs) to secure their market access objectives. Nowhere is this dynamic stronger than in East Asia, where a web of bilateral and plurilateral agreements is stitching together piecewise an Asian free trade area that could plausibly rival the EU and NAFTA trade blocs and where the possibility of a formal pan-Asian agreement has been raised. Taiwan has been largely excluded from this dynamic. However, with the June 29, 2010 signing of the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) with China, the possibility of Taiwan joining the FTA dance in East Asia would appear to have been greatly strengthened as the advocates had anticipated. This article considers the economic and trade implications of Taiwan's participation versus non-participation in an emerging East Asian trade bloc. We support our analysis with simulations using the GTAP computable general equilibrium model. The article finds that the benefits to Taiwan of participating in such a bloc have increased, as have the opportunity costs of exclusion, since the share of East Asian partners in its trade has risen.     

Province-Level Impacts of Canada’s Trade Agreements

Given Canada’s extended geography and regional economic diversity, individual provinces have differing exposures to particular international trade agreements. We demonstrate this by estimating the impacts of the Canada-Korea free trade agreement on the province of Ontario, using a dynamic general equilibrium model to generate Canada-level impacts, which are then decomposed on the basis of partial equilibrium model simulations on a trade dataset in which Ontario is represented as a separate international trading entity. We show that geography and sectoral specialization matter and that general equilibrium effects must be taken into account in partial equilibrium assessments of sectoral impacts of major trade agreements.     

“省直管县”改革对市、县经济利益格局分配的研究

近年来,我国多个地区在探索和实施"省直管县"管理体制,目前这项改革效果如何,有没有达到最初的目的,对市、县经济利益又造成什么样的影响?本文利用2001-2011年我国市、县两级数据,通过系统GMM估计对改革的效果进行实证分析。从实证结果来看,财政上"省直管县"和"强县扩权"极大地促进县域经济的发展,提高了县级政府的财政收入和财政支出,但在一定程度上抑制了市本级的经济发展。
