The French Communication Industry Defined and Analyzed through the Social Fabric Matrix,the Filiere Approach,and Network Analysis

This paper examines the relative impact of economic freedom, civil liberties, and political rights on growth. A system of three simultaneous equations is used to unearth the channels through which these institutional dimensions affect economic growth. These include greater efficiency and enlarged investment in physical and human capital. The sample contains 79 countries and six periods covering the years from 1976 to 2005. The results show that the three dimensions of institutional quality are important for economic growth either through a better allocation of resources or, indirectly, through the stimulation of investment in physical and human capital.

Using surveys of business perceptions as a guide to growth‐enhancing fiscal reforms

This paper assesses the merits of using business perceptions of growth constraints as a guide to growth‐enhancing fiscal policy reforms. Using endogenous growth models in which the government levies an income tax to provide public inputs to the production of private firms, the paper demonstrates that such perceptions of growth constraints may be misleading from a policy perspective. In particular, firms can be expected to systematically overestimate the growth‐enhancing effects of lower tax rates relative to public services and public capital, and underestimate the growth‐enhancing effects of greater provision of public capital relative to taxation and public services. In addition, we show that firms rank different public services and different types of public capital according to the actual costs they impose on firms. It is then shown that these theoretical predictions regarding how firms rank constraints correspond closely to the observed ranking of constraints by firms in the World Bank's Enterprise Surveys.     

国际分割生产条件下我国的出口增长问题

自2009年开始中国出口总额一直保持世界第一的排名。我国的出口以工业制成品为主,而制成品生产的主要特征是国际分割生产。本文对国际分割生产条件下我国出口增长现状和存在的问题进行深入分析,提出了通过提升我国出口质量,以促进我国出口增长的对策。认为我国亟需转变出口增长模式,提高出口产品的技术含量和质量,获得国际分割生产的技术效应,促进出口产业链和产业的升级。     

ECONOMIC GROWTH AND THE QUANTITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF EDUCATION: A SURVEY

Abstract The focus of this survey is to discuss different attempts at incorporating the distributional dimension of human capital into the theoretical and empirical growth framework. We present a series of models which deviate from the direct link between the aggregate or average level of human capital and economic growth in that they introduce the distribution of education as a new element in explaining the relationship under investigation. After surveying the theoretical literature, we present recent empirical work on the relation between economic performance and the average level, as well as the distribution of education, respectively.     

我国经济增长预测研究新探——基于分类变量的扩散指标法

基于分类变量的扩散指标方法是在Stock and Watson所提出的扩散指标法的基础上，利用变量之间的相似系数先对变量进行聚类分析，根据各变量的相似程度的大小分为几个变量子集，然后分别从变量子集中提取扩散指标。应用基于变量分类的扩散指标方法对我国经济增长的预测结果表明，同扩散指标法相比，该方法更加充分利用了原始数据中的有用信息，预测精度很高，因而是对经济增长进行预测的另一种有效方法。     

增长极理论在灾后旅游重建中的应用——以阿坝藏族羌族自治州地区为例

增长极理论是建立在区域内经济不平衡发展基础上的理论，运用该理论指导地震后旅游重建，对受灾地区旅游资源优势的发挥、受损旅游项目的恢复以及新的旅游规划的实施具有重大的指导意义。受灾地区旅游增长极的形成将促进旅游产业的集聚，能够更好的恢复和发展旅游业。     

收入分配与经济增长关系研究综述

收入分配与经济增长之间的关系是经济发展过程中的重要问题之一,尤其是我国现阶段收入分配差距不断拉大,人们对此问题更为关注。因此,文章对收入分配与经济增长关系的研究成果进行了综述,以便使相关研究成果较为清晰地展现在读者面前。     

资源、技术、制度与经济增长

资源、技术、制度三类因素在经济增长中的作用得到学术界越来越广泛的承认.从静态的角度,资源的数量取决于技术水平;一定技术水平决定了一个国家的潜在最大产量,而制度则决定了这种潜在量转变为现实量的程度.从动态的角度,技术变迁和制度变迁是解决人类与自然紧张关系的两种手段,不存在谁一定决定谁的关系;在经济发展的不同阶段,资源、技术和制度对经济增长的贡献不同.     

ENVIRONMENTAL DYNAMICS AND THE LINKS BETWEEN GROWTH,VOLATILITY AND MORTALITY

I construct a model of a growing economy with pollution. The analysis of the model shows that the interactions between capital accumulation, endogenous lifetime and environmental quality determine both the long‐run growth rate and the pattern of convergence (i.e., monotonic or cyclical) towards the balanced growth path. I argue that such interactions can provide a possible explanatory factor behind the, empirically observed, negative correlation between growth and volatility. Furthermore, the model may capture the observed pattern whereby economic growth and mortality rates appear to be negatively related in the long run, but positively related in the short run.
