Spatial development policy: changing roles for local and regional authorities in the Netherlands

Implementation of spatial policy involves intervention in the land market. In the Netherlands local government also acts as a land developer. Due to an increase in activities in the land market by private actors and an increase in the geographical scale of economic and social processes, this practice is under threat. This paper analyses the background and evolution of Dutch spatial development policy during the last ten years, from the perspective of governmental directive function for spatial policy. It focuses on the multi-level governance between local and regional governments and between local government and private actors.

When do formal control and trust matter? A context-based analysis of the effects on marketing channel relationships in China

Formal control and trust are two typical governance mechanisms employed to safeguard business transactions. Yet the effectiveness of each mechanism for firm relationship outcomes remains unclear. Some relevant literature suggests that formal control and trust simultaneously can help secure transactions, whereas other research argues the two control mechanisms can substitute for each other. This study applies social embeddedness theory and differentiates strong tie from weak tie relationships. In so doing, it reveals the role of strong versus weak social ties in leading to parallel conclusions about the relationship between formal control and trust and their effects on relationship outcomes. On the basis of empirical tests in a Chinese marketing channels context, this study finds that the joint effects of formal control and trust on governing transactions depends on the relational tie that the focal partners share. Specifically, formal control and trust complement each other only in weak tie relations. On the basis of this new perspective, the authors offer theoretical and managerial implications for managing interfirm governance mechanisms in transitional economies such as China.

关于构建区域合作体制的研究——以法国为例

区域公共管理理论主要从制度建设出发,强调要确保地区经济合作的顺利进展,除了要采取相应的政策措施外,更需要建立大量的制度安排来约束与引导区域经济合作的良性发展.区域合作协调机制包括政府适度干预的协调机制、区域产业政策的协调机制和区域合作的功能性协调机制等等.     

一线金融监管的治理效应及其作用机制——兼论《证券交易所管理办法》的修订效果

近年来,加强以沪深交易所为主要依托的一线金融监管成为"转变政府职能、创新监管方式"的重要举措.本文基于2004—2018年沪深交易所处罚公告数据,探讨了一线金融监管的治理效应及其作用机制.实证研究发现:(1)由于沪深交易所天然的信息优势和治理效应,一线金融监管提升了上市公司的信息披露质量和内部治理水平,该作用效果受到被处罚次数和公示单位的影响.(2)机制检验表明,一线金融监管还具有外溢效应:可通过引发媒体和投资者的普遍关注形成有效的监管合力,从而实现共同维护资本市场秩序的目的.(3)2017年修订的《证券交易所管理办法》进一步强化了一线金融监管效果.通过上述研究,本文一方面丰富了金融监管、信息披露、内部治理效果这些领域的研究;另一方面旨在通过检验一线金融监管的治理效应,为政府职能部门"放松管制、加强监管"提供经验证据.

Technologie, Innovation und Corporate Governance

This article shows that empirical research supports the existence of a relationship between corporate governance and technological change. This relationship can be split into two parts: a strategic choice relationship, where governance impacts technological change, and a technological imperative relationship, where the reverse can be observed. These relationships modify the direct influences of technological change as well as corporate governance on economic success. Therefore, regulators should be aware that by shaping governance structures they also affect the competitiveness of corporations. However, since not enough knowledge is available to design optimum governance systems that would fit all sorts of corporate objectives, it is argued that corporations should be allowed to choose from a pre-defined set of governance structures without having to change the location of their headquarters. The proof for the existence of the two relationships in question is marred by numerous problems of measurement and analysis. Thus, substantial research into this field is suggested.     

The size and development of the shadow economy: An empirical investigation from states of India

Using the state level data from India, this paper investigates the size of the hidden economy in Indian states over the period 1974/75 to 1995/96. Our analysis has shown that after liberalization of the Indian economy in 1991/92, the growth in the size of the hidden economy has decreased on an average. Our results show that the growth in the size of the hidden economy is approximately 4% less in scheduled election years than in all other years. We also demonstrate that the growth is significantly lower in those states where the coalition government is in power. An increased growth of newspapers and the literacy rates translate to cleaner governance, e.g. to fewer amounts of shadow economy activities in the economy.
