旅游业是低碳产业,发展低碳旅游是旅游业可持续发展的内在要求,是湖南省旅游业发展的必然选择。构建符合低碳、＂两型＂要求的低碳旅游产品体系,充实旅游产品要素低碳内涵,近期重点培育自行车骑行体验之旅、生态漂流探险之旅、森林休闲度假之旅、地质科考探险之旅、温泉养生休闲之旅、乡村观光体验之旅、拓展训练之旅等7个低碳旅游精品,积极策划壶瓶山湖南屋脊生态漂流、张家界森林公园、红石林地质探险、灰汤温泉城、百里侗文化长廊、＂中国银都＂工业观光、坐龙峡探险、军规训练营地等8个低碳旅游重点开发项目。     

文化如何成为经济学研究的对象

经济学研究对象经历了从纯客观物质变量向客观物质与主观精神结合的变量以至最终向纯主观精神变量逐次递进的扩展过程。文化精神通过影响经济行为主体的行为选择从而对微观经济运行和宏观经济发展产生重要影响。作为一种主观精神要素,文化精神曾经长期被主流经济学排斥在经验实证理论体系之外。经过诺斯、舒尔茨等人搭建的曲折理论通道,文化精神最终进入了经济学研究的核心概念范式集,成为经济学家分析不同国家、区域经济发展差异存在原因的不可或缺的一个基本理论视角。文化精神对经济的作用则主要表现为导向作用、激励作用、规约作用三个方面。     

Technology Strategies For Economic Development In A Fast Changing Global Economy

East Asian development experience provides the basis for understanding which are the essential elements of effective technology strategy and policy, those that are required for the efficacious development of countries that have not yet embarked on a path of sustained modernization. Globalization has had a profound impact on development, enabling countries that could exploit its propelling forces to pursue a potent strategy of export-led economic and technological development. The policies needed to sustain this strategy are those required to foster institutions that permit effective commerce among economic agents, those necessary to generate the rapid accumulation of human and physical capital, and those essential to ensure that resources are allocated in accord with the economy's dynamic comparative advantage. Of crucial importance among the latter are effectively implemented policies of selective intervention designed to develop infant industries and to foster their fast-paced achievement of international competitiveness through rapid attainment of the requisite technological capabilities.     

Coevolutionary cycles of convergence: An extrapolation from the ICT industry

Convergence between technologies can be regarded as an increasingly emerging trend, and has received particular attention in the coming-together of previously distinct products and solutions within the information and communication technologies (ICT) industry. In previous research, the overall impact of the convergence phenomenon remains ambiguous. Whereas some scholars suggest convergence to be associated with disintegration, entry and growth, others relate the phenomenon to opposite effects, such as consolidation and shakeouts. This inconsistency in managerial conceptions on convergence formulates a need for an integrated understanding. Within a multi-case study approach, the convergence within ICT has been observed through examining the coevolution of actors in a converging environment, and patterns in innovation dynamics and managerial responses have been identified. In reflection with existing models of innovation cycles, a model for convergence innovation processes is elaborated and discussed. In particular, the reasoning within the ICT case set is transferred onto the currently emerging entrepreneurial activities in the intersection between nano- and bio-technologies (NBT), resulting in a comparison between ICT and NBT convergences, and deriving recommendations from a retrospective to a predictive context.     

农地流转的经济效应及其空间溢出——基于“三化”发展的视角

利用2005—2010年中国31个省(自治区、直辖市)的农地流转、"三化"发展与经济发展数据,构建了考虑空间因素的计量模型,验证了农地流转的经济效应及其空间溢出。主要研究结论如下:农地流转通过影响工业化、农业现代化和农村劳动力转移间接促进地区经济增长,并且跨期内存在空间效应、本期内没有空间效应;本地区的经济发展对周边地区的农地流转强度存在较强的空间依赖;农地流转对粮食主产区、粮食主销区的经济增长具有不同的空间效应,在粮食主产区的农地流转对地区经济增长具有更强的直接和间接拉动效应,而粮食主销区农地流转的影响则相对较弱。     

Institutions for private sector development and pro‐poor growth: Evidence from Vietnam

Using the Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey 2008, we explore the differences in pro‐poor growth performance in provinces in Vietnam according to the quality of the provinces’ institutions that support private sector activity. We exploit the localized and varying effect of French colonial legacy across Vietnamese provinces to address the endogeneity of institutions. We find strong and robust evidence of a positive effect of good‐quality institutions that support private sector activity on pro‐poor growth and that enhanced working hours and hourly wage and extended income from non‐farm self‐employment play critical roles in this outcome.     

基于三阶段DEA模型的中国城市效率研究

使用三阶段DEA模型,在排除外部环境条件和随机误差影响的情况下,对2001—2007年中国266个地级及以上城市的效率进行了评价,并探讨了中国城市效率的环境响应机制。结果显示:中国城市效率受城市空间格局、区位条件、政府竞争环境、人口环境和历史条件等外部环境条件以及随机误差的影响;具体而言,外部城市影响程度强或区位条件较好有助于降低城市要素投入的冗余水平;政府竞争环境较激烈或历史发展条件较优越会促使城市要素投入冗余水平提高;人口环境对城市各类要素投入的影响存在显著差异。     

生产性服务业推动制造业发展的实证分析

文章在对生产性服务业推动制造业发展和升级进行理论分析的基础上,运用计量经济方法从两方面分析了我国服务业尤其是生产性服务业对制造业发展的推动作用。第一,为说明服务业发展对制造业发展的促进作用,研究了各省 （市、区） 制造业增加值与服务业总体增加值以及交通运输仓储和邮政业、金融业、批发和零售业等服务行业增加值的关系。第二,为进一步说明生产性服务业投入作为重要的中间投入对制造业发展的促进作用,研究了北京各工业行业增加值与流通服务、信息服务、金融服务、商务服务、科技服务五个生产性服务业投入的关系。计量经济分析支持服务业对制造业发展具有积极作用和生产性服务投入对制造业发展具有积极作用的原假设。但个别变量不显著,也表明服务业对制造业的推动作用尚未充分发挥出来。这为进一步促进我国生产性服务业发展并以其推动制造业发展升级提供了依据。文章相应提出了对策建议。     

Pure rent taxation and allocation of capital in a two-sector open economy: A long-run analysis

In this paper, the long-run incidence of a tax on pure rent is analyzed in an OLG two-sector small open economy, in which one sector produces a capital good and one sector a consumer good. Contrary to what is obtained in a one-sector closed economy, a land rent tax does not necessarily foster nonhumam wealth accumulation and capital formation. The accommodating scheme for the government budget plays a crucial role for the effects of pure rent taxation. A rent tax stimulates nonhuman wealth if distortionary taxes on wealth or on income from nonland inputs are alleviated. The mechanism spurring capital formation is brought into action, instead, only when the rent tax is matched by a fall in capital taxation or, if the capital sector is capital intensive, by an increase in government spending on the capital good.
