“一带一路”背景下中蒙俄经济走廊贸易潜力研究

在我国大力倡导“一带一路”,推动全球对外经贸合作深入发展的今天,建立“中蒙俄经济走廊”,充分发挥中俄蒙三国的经济互补性,挖掘三国之间的贸易潜力和合作空间,对三国的经济发展均有重要的战略意义。基于此研究背景,本文利用2002～2015年中俄对外贸易面板数据,通过引力模型分析了中蒙俄三国的贸易潜力。结果表明,近几年中俄两国之间的实际贸易额呈下降趋势,贸易增长潜力较大;中蒙两国之间的贸易虽呈现“贸易过度”的状态,但贸易额波动较大,且贸易总量较小。最后,从加强基础设施建设,增强政治、经济和文化交流以及完善边贸管理体制等3个方面对建立“中蒙俄经济走廊”提出了政策建议。     

内陆自由贸易港的属性及建设内容和路径——兼析重庆自贸试验区建设经验

自由贸易港是目前全球开放水平最高的自由贸易区,内陆自由贸易试验区应向内陆自由贸易港升级。中国内陆自由贸易港应具有“自由贸易园区”“试验区”和“内陆港”的属性,需要构建多式联运的国际通道体系及其高效运营机制,形成内陆港协同开放体系,整合和拓展开放型经济功能区,打造营商环境最为便利和开放水平最高的内陆开放平台,“内陆枢纽港→内陆开放经济高地→内陆改革开放示范区→内陆自由贸易港”是其可行的建设路径。当前中国内陆自由贸易试验区整体处于从内陆枢纽港向内陆开放经济高地发展的初期阶段,要着力建成以国际陆上大通道为核心的对外综合交通物流网络,持续创新海关监管协同机制,重点突破开放型经济功能区的建设瓶颈,不断探索以陆上国际贸易规则为核心的制度创新。     

Geographical Indications and the Competitive Provision of Quality in Agricultural Markets

The economics of geographical indications (GIs) is assessed within a vertical product differentiation framework that is consistent with the competitive structure of agriculture. It is assumed that certification costs are needed for GIs to serve as (collective) credible quality certification devices, and production of high-quality product is endogenously determined. We find that GIs can support a competitive provision of quality and lead to clear welfare gains, although they fall short of delivering the (constrained) first best. The main beneficiaries are consumers. Producers may also accrue some benefit if production of the high-quality products draws on scarce factors that they own.     

The “hidden hand” behind the resilience of the stateless economy of Somalia

This paper provides a framework of analysis of economic markets in stateless Somalia. It argues that the informal market that sustained private sector activities under the repressive policies of Siad Barré's government has provided a functioning system to the economy. In small communities that achieved internal law and order, their economy boomed in an unprecedented free-market environment, and the no-government situation has proven to be far better than the repressive government institutions and policies of Barré's era. However, the economic expansion is chaotic and there is a strong new demand for an accountable and effective government that could provide essential public goods for sustainable economic development.     

Need for pragmatic regulation of markets: the takeaway from the recent financial crisis

Despite being in an increasingly globalized economy with markets located far and wide, regulatory authorities across national boundaries, while focusing on their own market yards, had been in the dark about what had been happening in markets across borders. If leveraging opportunities and opaque markets drive participants to chase, unregulated, too few goods, it surely will prove unhealthy for interconnected markets and economies. Clearly, appropriate regulatory actions alone can prevent greed-driven individual and institutional participants from building up collective irrationality in markets. This paper discusses various takeaways from the worst economic recession post-Great Depression from a regulatory perspective.

Counteracting Free‐Riding With Team Morale—An Experimental Study

This study focuses on a behavioral perspective to examine the detrimental effects of free‐riding on team performance, and investigates team morale as a key factor that counteracts the tendency of free‐riding among team members. Results of the empirical test imply that enhancing team morale can effectively reduce the scale of free‐riding behavior in project teams; in addition, controlling team size also provides help to constrain the undesired behavior. The two means can be carefully applied to project management during early stages of project development before the commitment of significant resources. Implications for both research and team practices are discussed.     

Exploring Negotiation Through Boundary Objects in Global Design Project Networks

Boundary objects have been shown to play an important role in sharing knowledge in and across firms. However, little research has examined whether boundary objects can facilitate emergence of common knowledge across national cultural boundaries. To examine this, we observed 1,428 design review interactions involving U.S. and Indian engineers. We quantitatively analyzed 419 interactions involving engineers and boundary objects and then qualitatively analyzed 67 instances of boundary object–mediated negotiation. We found that boundary objects can play a central role in negotiating complex design knowledge. We then induced a propositional theoretical model of boundary object–mediated negotiation in global design project networks.     

Causes and Cures of the Great Recession

The Great Recession was not a failure of free markets. Rather it was a classic example of the undesirable unintended consequences of government intervention, both through expansionary monetary policy and misguided attempts to bolster the housing market in the USA. Getting government out of banking is the best way to end the disastrous boom and bust cycles that have characterised the last century and a half.
