基于循环经济闭环供应链的外部治理研究

随着生态危机加剧和环境保护意识的增强,许多国家都意识到发展循环经济的重要性,往往要求构建闭环供应链进行产品的回收,以便提高产品利用率。这里讨论了政府在构建闭环供应链中的角色和作用,通过模型分析了政府监管式外部治理的情况,以及参与式外部治理的情况。     

Brakes on Chinese Development: Institutional Causes of a Growth Slowdown

China has enjoyed spectacular economic growth since the 1980s. Economic models based on production functions typically suggest that China's rapid growth will continue at similarly high rates, but they ignore pressing structural and institutional constraints on its development. Among the problems identified in this paper, we point to an impending demographic shift that will greatly increase the number of economic dependents, the inadequate corporate legal foundation for indigenous private enterprise, and the discriminatory, defective and disruptive system of land tenure. These issues point to a pressing agenda of institutional reform to help China develop in future decades. Reforms have to concentrate on political structures, state efficiency, incentives to educate and train migrant workers, land tenure, and on private enterprise.     

A macro-framework for successful development banks

The large-scale failures of development banks in the 1970s and 1980s meant that they all but disappeared from the development agenda. However, there are still a large number of development banks worldwide that operate with various degrees of success. Some governments are also looking to re-establish such banks to address the shortage of finance for higher-risk market segments. To avoid a repeat of the earlier failures, government policy needs to be informed by an objective framework for the success of these banks. This article, based on economic theory and informed by case studies, outlines such a framework. It addresses the following six dimensions of these banks: enabling environment, mandate, regulation and supervision, governance and management, financial sustainability and performance assessment. Development banking remains a risky initiative but, managed appropriately, and using this framework, it can help achieve development objectives.     

The Board of Directors and The Adoption of Quality Management Tools

Abstract

The article examines the role of the board of directors in Local Public Utilities (LPUs). It aims at verifying empirically if a correlation exists between specific characteristics of the board of directors and the adoption of innovative arrangements addressing emerging needs of users and citizens (i.e. quality). By means of applying multivariate statistical methods to a random sample of sixty Italian LPUs, this study finds the relational capital of the boards affecting the take up of quality-oriented actions by LPUs. These results support the resource-dependence theory, neglected by mainstream literature.     

Governance for sustainable tourism: a comparison of international and Dutch visions

This study focuses on the role of public authorities in the governance of tourism for sustainable development at national level. Departing from an overview of international recommendations, it analyses whether those recommendations are reflected in the way public authorities influence domestic tourism in the Netherlands. The conclusion is drawn that, currently, the internationally recommended horizontal and vertical coordination of public authorities and their policies is missing. This is largely due to a design approach that follows from neo-liberal principles of governance, as opposed to the sustainability performance of the tourism sector. The paper then discusses the results of a survey carried out to map the extent to which Dutch tourism stakeholders would be in favor of adopting measures to improve coordination. It is concluded that, although there is support for more coordination, there is no converging vision on how specific aspects of it should be best organized. The paper highlights the need for multi-stakeholder debates that should consider the links between governance features and the sustainability performance of tourism.     

动态价值评估在汽车项目收购中的应用

本文从项目并购实例着手,对企业价值评估方法创新进行探讨。迄今为止虽已有许多企业价值评估方法,如账面价值法、重置成本法、股票和债券市场法、折现现金流量法、经济附加价值法等;但这些评估方法均无法以动态时效角度来评估企业的综合价值。当前价值评估在实践中有下述主要问题:(1)各种评估方法更多地停留在企业净资产或静态价值评估上,无法对动态价值变化提供有效的评估方法或体系;(2)现有评估理论和评估方法基于单一的、通用的、理想的企业价值环境,对企业价值变动的多元因素和复杂程度估计不足。为解决上述这些问题,本文根据项目实际操作过程,提出企业动态价值概念,拟建构一种可同时兼顾企业净资产价值、收益价值及动态价值多元兼顾的综合企业价值评估法,以突破传统方法仅能从单一角度或静态环境衡量企业价值的局限。     

关于构建基层央行廉政预警监测机制的探讨

建立科学的廉政预警监测机制,及时全面掌握有关廉政工作信息,对获取的廉政信息梳理归纳,进行定量定性分析,能够从中发现存在的漏洞和薄弱环节,正确分析和判断腐败行为的苗头和动向,研究解决问题的相关措施,对反腐败工作深入开展具有重要意义。本文结合基层央行纪检监察工作实际,提出了如何构建基层央行廉政预警监测系统基本框架和指标体系的思路,以及进一步提升基层央行廉政预警监测水平的具体建议。     

基于政策网络治理模式下的区域政府间合作

政策网络治理是政策网络理论与治理理论研究相结合形成的新的治理流派,是公共治理的一种新框架和新模式,代表着治理主体、治理工具、治理结构、治理机制的深刻变迁.随着全球经济一体化和中国加入WTO,中国经济的发展步伐的不断加快,在政策网络治理模式下的区域政府之间的合作正在逐步形成,但在进程中遇到的问题也日益凸显.面对这些问题,文章在政府合作必要性及存在问题原因分析的基础上,对地方政府间的合作进行了对策设计,以期提高区域合作的效果和水平.
