“百年孤独”的神秘

拉丁美洲的旅游资源十分丰富，不但自然景观独特，而且文化遗迹众多。玛雅人、阿兹特克人和印卡人留下的文化遗迹，位于阿根廷、巴西和巴拉圭3国交界之处的伊瓜苏瀑布、安第斯雪景、圣伊格纳西奥耶稣遗迹、莫雷诺冰川，以及智利复活节岛的巨石人头像，都令各国游客向往。每年的2月，巴西狂欢节到来之际，前来观光的游客络绎不绝。加勒比国家则以其明媚的阳光、洁白的沙滩和清澈的海水而闻名。     

中国与拉美油气合作:战略融入与业务成长

中国继2009年与巴西、阿根廷、委内瑞拉等国就一些重大油气合作项目达成协议后,2010年在拉美实现了油气合作项目的快速推进。当前拉美油气市场格局正经历深刻变化,中国石油公司已融入拉美市场,开始向战略经营、业务成长期转型,但资产、管理整合能力将面临考验。拉美的商业博弈环境较为复杂,中国石油公司进入拉美,不仅是资本的进入,还应培养一支从技术到管理都针对拉美油气市场的专业化队伍。中国在拉美的能源利益已超越公司层面的市场运作能力,建立政府间常规性政策对话和信息交流机制显得十分迫切。拉美是油气投资纠纷争端多发地区,有必要了解、探索拉美油气投资争端解决机制的历史惯例和传统,加强立法机构之间的往来。

The 2007-2009 Financial Crisis on Emerging Markets： Quantitative Identification of Crisis in Continent-based Regions

This paper focuses on a direct quantitative identification of crisis periods in selected emerging stock markets from four continent-based regions of Europe, Latin America, East Asia, and Middle East and North Africa （MENA）, in the context of an influence of the 2007 U.S. subprime financial crisis. The 17 emerging stock markets and, for comparison, the U.S. stock market are investigated. A statistical method of dividing market states into bullish and bearish markets, based on monthly logarithmic returns of major stock market indexes, is employed. The analyzed sample period begins in January 2003 and ends in December 2013. As there is no unanimity in the literature about the crisis periods in the continent-based regions, a formal statistical identification of crises is worthwhile to conduct. Furthermore, the effect of increasing cross-market correlations in the crisis compared to the pre-crisis period in the context of contagion is examining. To address this issue, both standard contemporaneous cross-correlations and volatility-adjusted cross-correlations are applied. The results are consistent with the literature and confn＇m that tests for contagion based on cross-market correlations are problematic due to the bias introduced by changing volatility in market returns. As contagion can be confused with globalization, the globalization tests in the group of international investigated markets are employed. The results generally do not confirm a global world market integration effect, i.e. there is no reason to reject the research hypothesis of no globalization during the 2007-2009 financial crisis.     

中企投资拉丁美洲的成功案例：中国铝业集团

中铝收购秘鲁一铜矿项目后，只派过去总裁等4人，其余员工全都是当地人。除了同类企业扎堆外，中企走进拉美的另一个问题是金融滞后于工业。 在中国不少民众眼里，拉美等于足球、桑巴舞、热带雨林，但在一些中国投资者眼里，拉美等于机会。
