对当前加强财政监督职能的思考

随着社会主义市场经济的不断发展和完善，对政府部门依法行政的呼声越来越高，财政部门作为国家重要的经济管理部门，其运作的成功与否，关系到国发展和改革的成败，财政监督检查作为国家经济监督体系和国家宏观调控机制的有机组成部分，必须随着经济体制改革的深入和社会主义市场经济的发展而逐步完善并发挥重要作用，本就是在这一思想指导下，对当前如何加强财政监督职能作了一些思考。     

中国打造世界制造中心的路径依赖初探——兼论缓提"中国是世界制造中心"的口号

在中国制造业日益凸显其在世界市场中的重要性的今天，中国能否成为“世界制造中心”已成为各人士关注的焦点。本文分析了历史上几代“世界工厂”的成长过程及其在世界经济发展中的历史地位，总结提出了成为世界制造中心的五个假设。在此基础上，本文运用实证分析方法，结合大量的中国现实资料，检验了这五个假设，提出了中国目前不是任何意义上的世界制造中心的结论。论文最后提出了中国打造世界制造中心的基本路径，这就是抓住一条主线、从两个基础起步、处理好十大关系。

Ranking Journals Using Social Science Research Network Downloads

I use a new approach to rank journals, namely the number and percent frequency of articles a journal publishes that are heavily downloaded from the Social Science Research Network (SSRN). I rank 18 accounting and finance journals, and I identify five journals not considered by the two most recent major published ranking studies of publications by accounting faculty, namely (in rank order): Journal of Financial Economics, Review of Accounting Studies, Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting, Journal of Corporate Finance, and Journal of International Financial Management and Accounting. I show that financial accounting faculties are more likely to post their working papers to SSRN, and papers posted by financial faculties generate more downloads. I mitigate this bias in favor of the financial area by providing separate rankings based on authors in the financial versus non-financial areas.     

Disclosure of Private Information and Reduction of Uncertainty: Environmental Liabilities in the Chemical Industry

We investigate the potential uncertainty-reducing role of accounting information in the context of contingent Superfund liability valuation. We first develop theoretical arguments for the way reduction of uncertainty regarding these contingent liabilities is expected to affect security prices. Empirical proxies are developed for two types of uncertainty surrounding contingent Superfund liabilities: site uncertainty and allocation uncertainty. In a valuation framework, we then investigate whether financial statement disclosures and accruals reduce uncertainty and thereby affect security valuation. Specifically, we analyze the interaction of private information contained in firm disclosures and accruals with inherent uncertainty surrounding contingent Superfund liabilities. Results suggest that in a regulatory environment allowing substantial reporting discretion, firm-provided financial statement information affects valuation of contingent Superfund liabilities by reducing uncertainty. Further, we find that information revealed through accruals versus disclosures is differentially effective at reducing site and allocation uncertainty.     

Decentralisation and Management Accounting in Central Government: Recycling Old Ideas?

This paper examines the Next Steps development from both contemporaneous and historical perspectives. Specifically, it traces the reliance on a distinct model of management and accounting in Next Steps (1988) and its predecessors (FMI, 1982; and Fulton, 1968). This shows not only that there are a series of commonalities within the details of these various reforms of central government, over the past three decades, but also that these various reforms share foundations which are embedded in 'management thought' on best practice in the 1950s and 1960s. We identify contemporaneous studies in both management and management accounting which could have informed these reforms, and make suggestions for situationally specific means of improving management and accounting in central government.     

German managers'' attitudes towards Anglo-American accounting: Results from an empirical study on global accounting harmonization

The starting-point of the present paper are systematic differences between the answers of German corporate managers and professors in an empirical study by C&L Deutsche Revision AG (1995) on accounting harmonization. In this study, managers expressed themselves in all questions more positively towards current German accounting and more negatively towards US accounting than professors. The fundamental assumption put forward in this paper is that these differences are due to differences in the economic interests of the two groups. To test this empirically, hypotheses are deduced with regard to the accounting-related interests of the executive managers. The idea behind the hypotheses is that managers' answers to questions in the C&L Industry Study can be explained by structural features of their respective companies. The hypotheses are tested using multiple regression analysis. The results of the tests show that managers' answers can, to some extent, be explained by the suggested multiple regression approach. However, the answers to the rather general and abstract question (the preferred balance between the true-and-fair-view and prudence accounting principles) are much better explained than the answers with regard to detailed US-GAAP regulations. We must assume that the managers' attitudes towards concrete US-GAAP, which are directly related to corporate accounting practice, are influenced by a multitude of firm-specific and personal factors.

科学发展观和新自由主义发展观的论争

在我国的经济国理论界和社会公理论学界，如何科学发展，和谐发展，已经成为关注和讨论的热门话题。目前，中众争辩的问题，不是要不要改革，而是改革的方向之争，是坚持社会主义市场经济的改革方向，还是资本主义市场经济的改革方向，实质上是围绕科学发展观和新自由主义发展观之间的争论。科学发展观有三个含义即全面发展、协调发展和可持续发展，比较突出的有四个亮点。
