中国省会城市职能结构特征的比较研究

从城市职能结构类型、发展阶段和效益三方面比较分析了我国省会城市职能结构的特征,结论如下:①在省会城市中,制造业和建筑业职能仍然占据重要地位,科教文卫、行政、金融保险业、房地产业等职能地位亟待提升.②84.62%的省会城市第三产业比重相对于第二产业比重比率稳步上升.③省会城市职能结构效益整体状况得到提高,高效益城市所占比例增加,低效益城市所占比例减少.从变化趋势类型来看,效益上升型城市所占比例居于第二位,效益下降型城市所占比例最低,这也验汪了省会城市职能结构效益趋于提升的态势.     

区域经济视角下国内支线航空发展困境的成因分析

区域经济是一种综合性经济发展的地理概念,反映区域性的资源开发和利用的现状及其问题,尤其是反映一定区域内各种经济资源的合理利用程度。从区域经济的角度来看,当前中国国内支线航空发展陷入困境的成因,很大程度上是在于我们对支线航空区域发展布局的科学性和社会总体经济效益重视程度不够,没有从各地区的实际情况出发进行支线机场的规划建设。

A Note on the Labor Market Effects of Remittances in Latin American and Caribbean Countries: Do Thresholds Exist?

The labor market effects of remittances have long been examined in the empirical literature. To date, the results have been mixed: some authors observe a negative association between remittances and unemployment while others report that remittances increase unemployment. This study empirically examines the impact of remittances on unemployment using macroeconomic data for a sample of 18 Latin American and Caribbean countries. Specifically, the study tests whether there is a nonlinear relationship between the variables. Results suggest that when the remittance‐to‐GDP ratio is low, remittances have a positive and significant impact on unemployment. However, as they increase, remittances are negatively associated with unemployment. This suggests the possibility that estimations based on the assumption of a linear relationship between remittances and labor may mask the true relationship between the variables.     

International trade,risk taking and welfare

This paper shows that the gains from opening up to international trade are smaller when firms do not fully internalize downward risk. I develop a general equilibrium model with two key assumptions. First, when faced with adverse productivity shocks, employers can lay off workers without fully paying the social costs of their layoff decisions, a common feature of many institutions. Second, when opening to international trade, the elasticity of demand perceived by an industry increases. In this setup, I show that international trade induces firms to take more risk and (i) raises the equilibrium unemployment rate, (ii) increases the volatility of sectoral sales and (iii) increases welfare proportionately less than in the absence of the externality. Inducing firms to internalize the costs of layoff (Blanchard and Tirole, 2003) therefore appears even more important in a globalized world.
