促进就业根本在于转变经济增长方式

20世纪80年代以来中国经济的高速增长与巨大的失业压力同时并存,中国的经济高增长没有带来高就业,研究中国经济高速增长过程中的劳动就业问题,对实现中国经济可持续发展、促进社会充分就业和丰富经济增长与劳动就业理论都有重大的理论和现实意义。     

外商直接投资对我国就业的影响:基于面板VAR的分析

本文运用面板VAR方法研究外商直接投资对国内就业、工资的动态影响。研究发现，外商直接投资对我国工资水平的提高没有显著作用；对我国就业水平的影响有正向影响，但程度非常有限；外商直接投资的变动没有说明在岗职工工资和就业的扰动；动态地看，在岗职工人数对外商直接投资冲击反应总体上是负向的，尽管程度非常有限；而工资水平对外商直接投资冲击反应是正向的，但程度也是非常有限，但长期来看这种影响会越来越大。     

Dollarization, economic growth, and employment

Dollarization brought price stability and higher economic growth to Ecuador. Nevertheless, unemployment remained stubbornly high. Two opposing forces explain this result: sustained growth led to higher labor demand but price stabilization triggered substitution effects by cheaper intermediate goods and capital.     

An exploratory study of organizational flexibility in Malaysia: a research note

This note reports on an exploratory study examining the relationships between rules on employee behaviour and on management discretion and other aspects of organizations in Malaysia. Using the data from thirty-five Malaysian organizations, the authors highlight the differences between the implications of the rules for the two groups and their relationships with company performance.     

IMPORTATION AND INNOVATION

Importation of drugs into the US may soon become legal. Since prices of drugs are lower in most other countries than they are in the US, importation would result in a decline in US drug prices. The purpose of this paper is to assess the consequences of importation for new drug development. First, the author presents a simple theoretical model of drug development which suggests that the elasticity of innovation with respect to the expected price of drugs should be at least as great as the elasticity of innovation with respect to expected market size (disease incidence). Then, the cross-sectional relationship between pharmaceutical innovation and market size among a set of diseases (different types of cancer) exhibiting substantial exogenous variation in expected market size is examined. Two different measures of pharmaceutical innovation are analysed: the number of distinct chemotherapy regimens for treating a cancer site and the number of articles published in scientific journals pertaining to drug therapy for that cancer site. Both analyses indicate that the amount of pharmaceutical innovation increases with disease incidence. The elasticity of the number of chemotherapy regimens with respect to the number of cases is 0.53. The elasticity of MEDLINE drug cites with respect to cancer incidence throughout the world is 0.60. In the long run, a 10% decline in drug prices would therefore be likely to cause at least a 5–6% decline in pharmaceutical innovation. Evidence suggests that pharmaceutical industry employment would also decline (by at least 3.5–4%) in response to an exogenous 10% decline in drug prices.     

How the object of knowledge constrains knowledge of the object. An epistemological analysis of a social research investigation

A theoretical social epistemology, arguing for a 'relationalrealism', is developed as part of the internal work of the researchprocess in a social science investigation. It is suggested thattheorising the nature of knowledge interactions is fruitfulboth in developing an epistemology of the discipline and inenhancing theoretical analysis of empirical research. The paperargues that five different aspects of object constraints emergefrom the case study: structural characteristics (the 'maze');relations of force internal to the object; boundaries betweenknowledge systems; relations of scale; and 'interference' generatedby knowledge instruments.     

平衡就业结构以发挥我国的比较优势

改革开放20多年来,我国经济保持了持续快速增长。但近年来,我国的就业结构却出现了明显的不平衡。这种不平衡突出地表现在两个方面:一是大学生就业压力增大;二是部分地区出现“民工荒”现象。本文拟从这两个方面分别进行分析,并探讨如何平衡就业结构以进一步发挥我国的比较优势。     

国际贸易与劳动力市场:研究述评

近三十年来,国际贸易迅速发展,同时各国劳动力市场保持着一种动态变化,国际贸易对劳动力市场的影响不断加深.在这一背景下,国际经济学和劳动经济学领域的学者对国际贸易与劳动力市场的关系进行了大量的理论与经验研究,相关研究主要集中在三个方面:国际贸易对各国工资的影响、国际贸易对各国就业的效应以及国际贸易对劳动力需求弹性的影响.本文将从上述三个方面对相关研究进行回顾.     

香港、新加坡和上海国际金融中心的比较研究

本文以金融中心的功能定义为基准,以金融发展理论为基础,以金融系统功能分析为思路,对香港、新加坡和上海国际金融中心功能进行比较分析,探寻上海的比较优势和劣势。得出结论:从历史和现实来看,香港和新加坡在金融系统功能的诸多方面都超越上海,上海只是在商品期货方面处于领先地位;上海的最大优势之一是它和伦敦、纽约、东京一样有着强大的国家经济体作为后盾,近几年发展态势良好,有实现跨越式发展的能力:开放型、多功能是构建上海国际金融中心的趋势和方向。
