Environmental problems and policy in the Single European Market

The paper analyzes the direct and indirect environmental impacts of the completion of the Single European Market, both internally and with respect to the Rest of the World. Moreover, the principles of environmental policy are described. The main conclusion is that if the European Community and the member states develop effective and efficient policy instruments the positive effects of the completion of the Single Market could substantially outweigh the negative impacts.

马克思企业理论和新制度经济学企业理论的比较

本文从企业的产生、企业的边界、企业的内部控制,以及分配三个方面对马克思主义经济学和新制度经济学的企业理论进行比较。马克思主义经济学用历史唯物主义方法将企业看作资本主义经济运行过程中的一个环节,揭示了企业产生和发展的原因,并精辟地分析了隐藏在物的背后的两大阶级之间的矛盾对立关系;新制度经济学采用逻辑实证的方法对企业进行分析,认为交易费用是决定企业产生及规模变化的重要因素,企业内部的控制和分配关系是由效率来决定的——这种将所有生产要素都看作是客观资源的分析方法,掩盖了利益分配的实质,从而忽视了人的主体性因素。     

城市边缘区与统筹城乡发展

城市边缘区是统筹城乡发展最适宜的空间地域和最佳的切入点,目前诸多因素制约城市边缘区发展,诸如:体制不顺与管理方式转换滞后,城市化推进与耕地保护两难,农村集体资产处置问题多等.因此,发展思路应定位于以城市边缘区为枢纽、统筹城乡发展.     

湘鄂渝黔边区域经济协同发展的政策研究

湘鄂渝黔边区域经济发展的特征表现为欠发达性、不协调性和不可持续性.按照区域经济学的基本理论,边区必须利用各自的比较优势,进行经济合作,协同发展.而就湘鄂黔渝边区而言,必须首先进行发展政策的协同,即:建立有力的区域发展协同机制以营造良好的发展环境,规范和协调产业布局,促进人才合理流动,实现区域全面、协调、可持续发展.     

跨境电商发展与传统对外贸易互动关系的实证分析

因便捷性强、低成本等优势,在外贸增长乏力的情况下,跨境电商逐渐兴起并成为拉动中国外贸增长的重要动力。本文在借鉴国内外文献基础上,从推动力和拉动力两个维度分析跨境电商和对外贸易增长之间的内在作用机理,选取跨境电商交易规模和进出口贸易总额两个指标,采集相关数据对两者关系进行VAR检验。结果显示,跨境电商发展与传统外贸增长之间具有双向因果关系,跨境电商交易金额的自然对数值每增加1%,直接拉动中国传统外贸交易额的自然对数增长约0.401%。最后,本文针对性地提出完善中国跨境电商发展的建议,期望能为今后有效促进中国跨境电商和对外贸易良性发展提供理论参考。     

Reclaiming the ‘L’ word: Leisure Studies and UK Higher Education in neoliberal times

Leisure is a major sphere of both private and public life. It is thus of concern that the identity and profile of Leisure Studies in the Higher Education curricula of the United Kingdom have declined in prominence over the past decade. This trend is not peculiar to Leisure Studies; the social sciences as a whole are threatened by a neoliberal economic discourse which increasingly informs Higher Education strategic management. The aim of this article is to investigate the impacts of the declining status of Leisure Studies as experienced by lecturers and researchers in the subject field. It is based upon a project commissioned by the Higher Education Academy in 2015. It was found that Leisure Studies faces two principal challenges. The first is to re-establish its status as a subject field within the social sciences, the second is to ensure it retains a relevance to leisure practice, particularly in terms of the management of its provision. The article proposes greater academic engagement in ideational ‘border crossings’ to advance thinking on leisure in the social sciences and to explore opportunities for collaboration within them. We conclude that Leisure Studies arguably suffers from a crisis of representation, as opposed to a crisis of relevance.

Unpacking Institutional Distance: Addressing Human Capital Development and Emerging‐Market Firms’ Ownership Strategy in an Advanced Economy

As latecomers to global business competition, emerging‐market multinational companies (EMNCs) utilize cross‐border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) to quickly acquire strategic assets, resulting in an improved competitive position. Advanced markets with well‐established firms and well‐developed market‐supporting institutions become particularly important destinations for EMNCs’ foreign operations. Institutional distance, which represents conflicting legitimacy requirements between the host and home institutional environments, is expected to be negatively associated with the foreign acquirer's ownership position. The current study examines a sample of EMNCs’ cross‐border M&As in the United States between 2005 and 2011 and reveals the unique nature of EMNCs’ ownership strategies. Taking both formal and informal institutions into consideration, our findings suggest that EMNCs originating in countries with lower levels of human capital development may have more urgency in seeking ownership control in advanced markets and are less influenced by the negative association of institutional distance in their ownership strategy. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
