构建与主体功能区建设相协调的财政转移支付制度研究

本文在明确界定财政转移支付的概念及其分类的基础上,详细阐述了建立与主体功能区建设相协调的转移支付制度的必要性,然后深刻剖析现行转移支付制度在满足主体功能区上的缺陷与不足,最后结合我国实际情况,提出了构建与主体功能区建设相协调的财政转移支付制度的政策建议。     

中国区域金融发展差异的财政因素研究——基于财政压力与地方政府干预视角的分析

本文从各区域财政能力与金融能力变动的对比入手,证实了我国各区域均存在＂强金融,弱财政＂现象。用财政压力指标替换财政能力指标,详细论证了区域财政压力增长率与区域FIR增长率之间存在的反向变动关系。最终说明了区域财政压力差异性造成地方政府干预金融资源市场化配置的激励不同,并最终导致区域金融发展速度差别这样一个连锁反应的存在。     

后危机时代农村社会养老保险体系化建设的财政政策研究——以辽宁为例

农村社会养老保险制度的完善与居民消费之间呈现显著的正向关系。后危机时代的＂碎片化＂农村社会养老保险制度,削弱了农村居民的消费信心从而抑制了国内消费需求,也影响到城乡一体化和公共服务均等化与农村社会养老保险制度的可持续性发展。提出政府从财政政策角度———财政补贴、财政转移支付、财政引导机制、财政专户管理和财政监督———逐步将农村社会养老保险由＂碎片化＂转为＂体系化＂,增强农村居民消费信心。     

“机会主义”策略及其在我国财政政策规则中的运用?

财政政策既要发挥内在的自动稳定器功能,又要体现政府的政策意图,具有与“机会主义”策略一致的内涵。文章将“机会主义”策略融入财政政策规则,对我国财政政策对通胀和产出的调节是否表现出“机会主义”策略进行了研究,得到的主要结论可以概括为：我国财政政策对通胀和经济增长目标值的关注表现出较强的时变性,且其对经济增长的调节依赖于对经济增速中间目标的偏离程度。当经济增速与中间目标的偏离位于区间[-0.95%,2.85%]内时,财政政策将发挥内生的自动稳定器功能,表现出较强的惰性;而当经济增速与其中间目标的偏离位于该区间外时,财政政策则表现出较强的活性,会对经济增长产生积极的调节作用。     

我国生态环境保护和治理的财政政策选择

环境的公共产品性质和外部性，决定了它应该成为政府财政投资的重点。因而财政政策对环境保护和治理的影响极大。从总体上看，我国的财政政策在支持生态环境保护和治理中发挥了重要作用。但由于财政政策在设计上存在着缺陷，致使其在生态环境建设中的支持作用未能完全发挥。基于此，本文提出了完善我国生态环境可持续发展的财政政策建议。     

论支持农业保险发展的财政政策

农业保险是为农业生产者在从事农业生产过程中,对遭受自然灾害和意外事故所造成的经济损失提供保障的一种保险。它被视作推动现代农业,确保农业可持续发展的关键因素。发展农业保险不仅能促进农业发展和农业产品供给,还能减少农民收入波动,增进农民福利。近年来,农业保险越来越引起我国学术界和政府的高度重视,我国财政政策对于农业保险的支持的传统做法正面临改革创新的历史机遇。     

Institutionalism and Fiscal Policy at Midcentury

This article analyzes the career and contributions of Roy Blough (1901–2000) as a case study of Wisconsin institutionalism in government policy-making at midcentury. As a faculty member at Cincinnati, Chicago and Columbia, editor of the National Tax Journal, director of the research division of the U.S. Treasury and member of the Council of Economic Advisors, Blough played a significant role in the development of fiscal policy. The article also considers Blough’s contributions to tax policy and his views on Keynesian public finance. It further identifies the contributions of Wisconsin institutionalism to modern fiscal policy.     

(Non-)Existence of Equilibria in Multicommunity Models

This paper reconsiders equilibrium existence in models with migration and voting over local public goods. We show that under some straightforward assumptions on preferences and income distributions, the basic structure of multicommunity models (i.e., perfect mobility, majority rule, single crossing property) implies that no equilibrium with jurisdictions conducting different policies can exist. Stratification equilibria—with sorting of the population according to income classes—are therefore not as natural as is sometimes suggested. Mechanisms that can serve to support stratification (i.e., tight housing markets, returns to scale in the provision of publicly consumed goods) are discussed.     

后金融危机时期解读我国宏观经济政策

在国际金融危机持续蔓延时期,各国出台相应政策扭转不利局势。我国政府在2008年和2009年也出台了多项宏观政策来应对危机,并取得了一定的成效。危机已过,余波未平,在后金融危机时期,这些政策发挥着怎样的作用,今后宏观调控的方针和措施是什么?本文将针对这些问题一一解读。     

How important is fiscal policy cooperation in a currency union?

By constructing a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model, which assumes a currency union consisting of two countries with nontradables, we study the importance of fiscal policy cooperation. As shown in the previous studies, we find that the role of fiscal policy is important in maximizing social welfare. However, we have a contrary result for fiscal policy cooperation. While the previous studies highlight that fiscal policy cooperation has a nontrivial effect in maximizing social welfare, we show that fiscal policy cooperation has no benefits, regardless of the share of nontradables. Self-oriented fiscal policy can replicate social welfare under the cooperative setting.
