金融危机下对建立超主权货币问题的思考

在第二次全球金融峰会召开之际,周小川行长发表文章《关于改革国际货币体系的思考》,提出对特别提款权进行改造,使之成为全球最主要的储备货币。本文在此基础上,针对金融危机形势下国际货币体系内在缺陷的突显,提出了建立超主权货币的背景、意义、问题及相关对策。     

An economic impact analysis of the Korean exhibition industry

This study estimates the multiplier effect of the exhibition industry. In order to calculate the exhibition industry's total expenditure, consideration is made of three major sources of expenditure including hosts, exhibitors and foreign attendees. According to the summary of the economic impact analysis, the total exhibition receipts of US$645.7 million produced US$1.2 billion in output; 21 692 full‐time equivalent jobs, US$260 million in personal income for residents, US$577.4 million in value‐added, US$54.2 million in indirect tax and US$104.3 million in imports.

东亚货币合作的制约因素与政策建议

根据建立货币区的相关衡量标准,目前东亚地区还存在着经济趋同障碍、政治障碍、第N种货币问题以及缺乏区域性的超国家货币管理机构等制约因素.因此,现阶段尚无法建立东亚货币合作区.目前较为现实的选择是分阶段渐进推进东亚货币一体化进程,包括加强区域内的多边汇率政策协调、建立次区域货币区、最终建立东亚共同货币区.     

关于我国基本养老金支付能力影响因素的探讨

我国基本养老保险制度要可持续发展,必须要有充足的支付能力。本文从人口老龄化、历史债务、统筹层次、制度设计、基金筹集、待遇调整机制等十个方面对我国基本养老金支付能力的影响因素进行专门具体探讨,并结合实际进行相应分析。     

央行票据调控可持续性分析

央行票据是中央银行为调节商业银行超额准备金而向商业银行发行的短期债务凭证,是中央银行为调节商业银行流动性而出台的一项货币政策工具,其实质是中央银行债券。目前,央票已经是债券市场不可或缺的短期投资工具和流动性管理工具。但伴随中国经济增长趋势的放缓,央行票据发行规模的下降,央票是否继续存在的争论也由此而起。通过分析我国央行票据的发展情况及现状,对央票调控的利弊进行分析,并为央票存在的持续性寻求合理的理论支持。     

美国次贷危机对新疆出口贸易的影响

美国次贷危机不仅引发了全球金融市场的剧烈动荡和流动性匮乏,更波及到众多国家的对外贸易发展。作为世界上最大的消费市场,美国次贷危机导致本国经济低迷,在很大程度上对中国出I：1产生了负面影响,对于新疆出口贸易短期内影响微弱,但从长期看将会阻碍新疆出口增长。因此应大力推进新疆地产品出口,实现多元化市场战略以降低次贷危机所带来的负面影响。     

营业税改革对保险业影响的经济效应分析

本文结合全面开放的背景,运用战略性贸易政策的思路,引入保险公司、消费者、社会福利三项对象考察保险业营业税税制改革的经济效应,通过构建保险业营业税与社会福利模型,从理论上进行分析.基于此,应用我国保险业2001-2005年的数据进行了经验分析.主要结论为营业税的对福利总体影响并不确定,但若考虑保险业跨行业竞争力,当前降低我国保险业营业税是可行的.     

人民币汇率不构成出口补贴

美国对人民币汇率的指控,近期集中于人民币汇率构成对中国出口商和出口产品的补贴。根据世界贸易组织的相关规定和案例,判断人民币汇率是否构成出口补贴主要来自三个要素:财政资助、利益和专向性。首先,由于不存在提供补贴的主体,也没有出现政府资金向私人的流动以及政府未提供世界贸易组织所禁止的服务,因此人民币汇率不符合财政资助的要求;其次,由于全球各地人民币汇率基本一致,难以另行确定"自由市场"的人民币汇率,因此不能强行将人民币汇率认定为"被授予的一项利益";最后,由于所有企业使用相同的汇率,并且单纯以增加出口为由不足以充分证明人民币汇率与出口实绩相连,因此不符合专向性的要求。所以,人民币汇率不构成出口补贴。     

The sustainability of timber production from Eastern Amazonian forests

Although the regulations are imperfectly enforced, logging firms in the Brazilian Amazon are subject to forest management regulations intended to reduce environmental damage and protect future forest productivity. Additionally, voluntary best practices firms adopt to achieve environmental performance that exceed regulatory requirements are largely limited to reduced impact logging (RIL) systems that reduce harvest damage relative to conventional logging systems used by a large majority of firms in the region. Existing regulations combined with best practices may not be adequate to ensure sustained yields. This inadequacy is an important issue as Brazil implements an ambitious program of forest concessions on public lands. We analyze the profitability and environmental outcomes of best logging practices and proposed sustainability requirements. We propose two operational definitions of sustainability (the first focusing on sustaining stand-level timber volumes and the other focusing on sustaining species-level volumes within the stand) based on sustaining timber inventories across cutting cycles rather than on sustaining overall harvest yields. RIL is shown to be profitable for loggers and increase the timber available for future harvests. While volume predicted to be available for the second and third harvests are significantly lower than the available timber in the unlogged forest, the second and third harvests are projected to be profitable and have the potential for sustainability despite high opportunity costs. However, as harvesting is repeated into the future, results show the composition of the harvest shifts from higher-value shade-tolerant and emergent species toward a greater reliance on longer-lived, lower-value pioneer species. This shift may create pressure to expand the forest base under management in order to continue to supply high-value species or increase the risk of timber trespass in conservation units and areas under community or indigenous management.
