上市公司收购法律问题研究

公司资本自由流动,是市场经济存在并正常运行的必要条件之一。既然如此,公司的收购与兼并就必然成为一种经常性的现象。我国公司并购起步较晚,且公司并购的法律规定也不完善,存在范围界定模糊不清、概念混淆的问题,而且过于抽象,具体操作性差。文中将探讨上市公司收购的概念,界定其本质特征,并分析了目前上市公司协议收购中存在的问题,提出目前上市公司协议收购的立法建议。

What Would Korea-US Free Trade Agreement Bring?

ABSTRACT

This paper uses a computable model of trade to forecast the effects of the US–Korea free trade agreement on the manufacturing sector. The model uses the Eaton–Kortum methodology to explain intra-industry trade instead of the usual Armington assumption. It is parameterized using 2005 data for 15 industries and 53 countries. The results show that implementing KORUS would increase the US manufacturing exports to Korea by 56.9% and Korean manufacturing exports to the US by 18.9%. It would also increase manufacturing employment by 26,500 jobs in Korea and 34,200 jobs in the US. In addition, KORUS would lead to significant changes in the patterns of trade and production. The US and Korea would increase their specialization in the industries where they have strong technological comparative advantages. Finally, KORUS would increase welfare in both countries, but only modestly: by 0.27% in Korea and 0.013% in the US.     

China＇s Free Trade Agreements with ASEAN, Japan and Korea： A Comparative Analysis

The role of China in East Asia's recovery from the recent global financial and economic crisis highlights China's position as an engine of growth for this region. From the viewpoint of China, there are many potential gains from entering into free trade agreements (FTAs) with its neighbors, who collectively form a large and fast‐growing market. In this paper, we qualitatively and quantitatively assess the four main permutations of China's FTAs with East Asian major economies: China–ASEAN, China–Japan, China–Korea and ASEAN+3. We compare the effects of these FTAs on China's output and welfare. Our comparative analysis shows that China will gain from all three bilateral FTAs, while gaining the most from the ASEAN+3. Because forming a region‐wide FTA, such as the ASEAN+3, is expected to be gradual and difficult, China should continue to engage in bilateral FTAs as a medium‐term and alternative strategy. However, in the long term, China should pursue a region‐wide FTA.

An Analysis of a Rules-based Approach to Disciplining Export Credits in Agriculture

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the comparative static effects of rules-based disciplines for government supported export credit arrangements. The arrangements provide traders in the country offering the guarantees more favourable borrowing conditions. This may provide an advantage relative to rival exporters since the supported trader may offer better financial terms to importers. Rules that discipline implicit interest rate subsidies are appropriate when an importing country does not face liquidity constraints when borrowing. However, these rules may not be appropriate with liquidity constraints because of the potential for additionality and benefits for all exporting countries. Rules on benchmarks for insurance premiums are always appropriate because insurance subsidies unambiguously have the potential to distort markets.

“封口费”的法律性质辨析

当事人为了隐瞒某些违法行为或事实而给知情人一定的物质利益作为＂封口费＂。由于这种行为可能涉及刑事犯罪,或者其先前行为可能违法,因而往往受到公安机关的干预。但从民法的角度来看,这种给付与收受金钱的关系应界定为附义务的赠与,且由于其违反公序良俗而应视为一种无效的契约。＂封口费＂不应由公安机关＂追回＂,而应当按照不当得利进行民法上的处理。
