新农村建设中的金融支持问题研究

建设社会主义新农村离不开金融的大力支持,但目前农村金融机构不断萎缩、服务水平低下,与"三农"发展的需求不相适应。本文提出了重塑农村金融体系、支持社会主义新农村建设的政策性建议。     

深圳市小产权房类型、成因思考

深圳市小产权房因原土地类型不同而呈现不同的形式,包括在宅基地、集体建设用地、耕地、审批批准后建房、合作建房等类型;由于自2004年开始深圳土地实行国有化,所有集体土地所有权转变为国有土地所有权,从而使在土地所有权基础上设立的用益物权也发生变动,从而导致土地之上的小产权房也各有特性。深圳在清理小产权房过程中,应当充分考虑不同的土地使用权和房屋判断小产权房的出路。     

非正规金融发展、信任与中小企业互助融资机制——基于温州苍南新渡村互助融资的实地调查

非正规金融对解决中小企业融资起了很大作用,作为非正规金融的一种组织形式,互助融资主要形成并运行于中国的乡土社会,以亲缘和地缘为基础的乡土社会人际信任机制如互助与亲缘利他、人情、面子、熟悉、定栖等维持着互助融资的正常运行。文章以温州苍南龙港镇新渡村为例,通过调研发现,超过熟人的边界或者脱离人情机制,互助融资将可能出现倒会并引发大范围的风险。伴随着社会转型,乡土社会的人际信任逐渐向制度信任转变,互助融资的运行机制也发生相应的转变,但实际情况表明,中小企业互助融资的正常运行仍然依靠乡土社会的人际信任机制来维持。     

The Growth Barriers of Informal Sector Enterprises: Evidence from India

The present study investigates the growth barriers of informal sector enterprises in India. The empirical analysis is based on the National Sample Survey Organization's unit‐level data for three years, 2000–2001, 2005–6, and 2010–11. The results of the study reveal: proprietary and large firms survive and grow; enterprises managed by women are less likely to decline; inadequate power supply poses a severe growth obstacle to all categories of firms; and proprietary firms encounter capital shortage while large firms are constrained by the non‐availability of raw materials. We do not find evidence of sub‐contracting acting as an enabling factor in firm growth.

More than just empathy: The influence of moral emotions on boycott participation regarding products sourced from politically contentious regions

The primary objective of this research is to assess the influence of moral emotions (empathy and anger) on consumer buying decisions of products made in disliked sources in the context of third-country national consumers. The study employs data collected from the UK, France, and Germany consisting of 260, 261, and 244 respondents, respectively. The empirical results provide evidence to the influence of moral emotions on consumers’ attitudes towards buying Israeli goods. Concurrently however, the results show that, while anger towards Israel comprises the main factor that prompts boycotting intention, empathic concerns towards Arabs in the West Bank and Golan Heights (the Territories) have negligible influence on buying decisions. In addition, the results point to differences across the populations studied in the current research, especially with respect to the influence of involvement and subjective norms on behavioral intention. Implications are identified together with consideration of the study limitations.     

COVID-19-associated income loss and job loss: Evidence from Indonesia

COVID-19 pandemic has substantially altered socioeconomic conditions around the world. While numerous existing studies analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic among developed states, little is known about its effects on people’s lives and social discrepancies in emerging economies. To this end, we empirically analyze the 2020 Indonesian Labor Force Survey data, hypothesizing that COVID-19 has given idiosyncratic risks and impacts on people by gender, age, education, occupation and regions. We find that income loss and job loss are prominent among males, younger and less educated people as well as among self-employed and part-time non-agricultural workers. These tendencies are not pronounced for people enjoying high income and mobility, but tend to be evident for urban residents and those having dependents. Notably, self-employed people have the highest risk of losing income, while part-time urban workers face the highest probability of losing their jobs. The propensity score matching method also demonstrates that these losses are most evident for the regions susceptible to COVID-19. Overall, we suggest that socioeconomically disadvantaged groups require additional support to strengthen their resilience in the face of exogenous shocks, such as the one caused by the global coronavirus pandemic.     

农村民间自由借贷的正负效应分析

农村民间借贷在我国的发展已有很长时间,对我国农村经济的发展起到了巨大的推动作用。尤其是近几年来,农村民间借贷数额更是以惊人的速度增长。与此同时,其负面影响也越加明显。文章从正效应和负效应两个方面进行了分析,给我国农村民间借贷的进一步发展提供有益借鉴。     

信息、非正规金融与中小企业融资

各种形式的非正规金融在发展中国家和地区广泛存在。本文认为,由于中小企业信息不透明,且常常不能提供充分的担保或抵押,正规金融机构难以有效克服信息不对称造成的逆向选择问题,而非正规金融则在收集关于中小企业的“软信息”方面具有优势。这种信息优势是非正规金融广泛存在的根本性原因,金融抑制只是一个强化因素,同时非正规金融市场的各种特征也都源于其存在的根本逻辑。本文构建了一个包括异质的中小企业借款者和异质的贷款者(具有不同信息结构的非正规金融和正规金融部门)的金融市场模型,证明非正规金融的存在能够改进整个信贷市场的资金配置效率。     

Eldercare hours,work hours and perceived filial obligations

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we take a fresh look at the magnitude of the trade-off between caring informally for a parent and paid work. We adopt a simultaneous approach with a primary focus on how hours of care are influenced by hours of work rather than the other way round. We also investigate the role that filial obligations play in choices of caring versus working. Using the SHARE data (2004 and 2006) we find that the elasticity of informal care hours in response to working hours is between ?0.17 in the caregivers sample and ?0.19 in the women-only caregivers sample; small but not negligible. Moreover, we find that a 10%increase in the index measuring the strength of filial obligations increases weekly hours of care by about two and a half hours.
