整合与超越:新全球化时代经济学范式探微

世界正发生着从"旧全球化时代"向"新全球化时代"的重大转变.伴随这一时代转折,建立在传统工业文明基础上的经济学正面临着研究范式的挑战,因为它已经不能适应以高科技为先导,以科技成果的商品化、产业化、国际化为特征的新时代所遇到的各种复杂问题.其研究范式急需进行整合与超越,交往实践观为其提供了新的视域和新的理论范式.     

经济开放度与货币政策有效性的实证分析

通过运用Karras建立的产出增长率和通货膨胀模型,采用向量自回归VAR框架,分析经济开放度对我国货币政策效果的影响。回归结果表明,无论是以M0作为货币政策的测度指标,还是以M1作为货币政策的测度指标,它们都反映出:在长期,经济开放度的提高会削弱货币政策的有效性;但从短期来看,经济开放度的提高不一定会削弱货币政策的有效性,有时反而会提高货币政策的有效性。     

我国区域经济波动的关联性分析

依据所进行的有关计量分析,在研究我国经济总量波动的区域特征以及区域经济波动的关联性问题时,不难得出如下几个方面的基本结论：区域间经济波动的内在关联性增强,但同步性却是减弱的;20世纪90年代前后国内中西部地区与东部地区经济波动的先行地位有着明显的轮替变化;与此同时,全国和各区域经济波动的周期长度延长,波动强度显著下降,且周期扩张动力显著增强。此外,各区域经济波动形态呈同化趋势,区域间周期扩张动力差异的扩大趋势也十分明显。     

我国寿险公司规模经济效应的实证研究

运用超越对数成本函数,对2005—2010年我国30家具有代表性的寿险公司的规模经济状况进行了检验。实证结果表明:无论企业规模如何,中资寿险公司均表现出具有一定的规模经济效应,并且其经营历史越长、规模越大,其规模经济效应越强;部分合资及外资寿险公司表现出具有微弱的规模经济性,其他合资及外资寿险公司则表现出具有明显的规模不经济性。     

The Federal Budget and Social Reconstruction

Automakers are facing a growing process of financialization that can be characterized by the preference to value capital through financial activities as more profitable than by productive activities. The aim of this article is to study the financialization of the automotive industry by analyzing the five largest automakers in the world: Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, General Motors (GM) and Ford. The profitability of financial activities was compared to that of productive activities; shareholder structure; share acquisitions; origin of top managers; compensation to executives; employee salaries; dividend payments to shareholders and employment. The results showed that increasingly more financial activities are fundamental to businesses dominated by major shareholders. Dividend payments have shown compliance to shareholder value maximization principles. Compensation to executives has shown that there is a layer of highly paid top managers, while in the workforce, salaries are below the average of the countries in which the automakers operate. The proportion of times that a CEO’s earnings outweigh the average earnings of less skilled workers is hundreds of times. Employment has been changing, with significant increases in China, for instance. This article aims to improve the knowledge of this important sector of world industry and contribute to development of economic sociology.     

浅论教育的经济效益

宏观教育学形成于20世纪60年代,宏观教育学对各国教育决策和教育实践产生了重大影响.宏观教育学直接研究教育的基础性、全面性、前瞻性、知识产生与社会经济的相互作用及其规律.集中论述教育的经济效益是宏观教育经济学的核心概念,从这一理论的兴起、发展和成熟三个阶段论述宏观教育经济学的研究发展过程,并就宏观教育经济学的研究对象进行全面阐述.而对教育经济效益的定义、内容及特性,以及教育投资对经济增长的计算方法做了剖析和比较.     

试论扩大民间消费与经济的发展——基于农村消费市场的分析

长期以来,我国的经济发展在很大程度上靠出口拉动,对国民经济增长贡献率最低的是消费。2008年金融危机以来,我国的贸易出口增速下降、顺差缩小、产品出口受到严重影响。拉动经济必须扩大消费,我国农村市场需求广大,对拉动消费及发展经济有重要的作用。     

Do global CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel consumption exhibit long memory? a fractional-integration analysis

In this article we use an autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average approach to measure the degree of fractional integration of aggregate world CO₂ emissions and its five components – coal, oil, gas, cement, and gas flaring. We find that all variables are stationary and mean reverting, but exhibit long-term memory. Our results suggest that both coal and oil combustion emissions have the weakest degree of long-range dependence, while emissions from gas and gas flaring have the strongest. With evidence of long memory, we conclude that transitory policy shocks are likely to have long-lasting effects, but not permanent effects. Accordingly, permanent effects on CO₂ emissions require a more permanent policy stance. In this context, if one were to rely only on testing for stationarity and non-stationarity, one would likely conclude in favour of non-stationarity, and therefore that even transitory policy shocks have permanent effects. Our fractional-integration analysis highlights that this is not the case.     

中国各地区就业质量测算与评价

基于公开出版的官方的统计年鉴数据,本文构建了一个包括了6个维度指标、20个二级指标和50个三级指标的就业质量评价指标体系,使用主成分分析法对中国大陆30个省份的就业质量状况进行了测算。结果表明,在2007年、2008年这两个年份,除少数经济发达省份外,全国就业质量的总体水平不高,大部分省份的就业质量指数较低;地区间就业质量差异明显,发展不协调;随着经济发展,地区间就业质量差异逐步缩小。由于就业环境改善是提高就业质量的基础,所以实现经济发展向高就业、高报酬、高消费型发展方式的转变,加快中西部地区经济发展,逐步缩小地区间经济发展水平的差异,是缩小就业质量差异的根本途径。同时,还应加强人力资本投资;切实保障劳动者权益,促进三方协商机制的实施;必须通过完善相关制度建立地区间、城乡间高效一体的劳动力市场,这是实现平等就业,促进和谐发展的必然选择。     

On the tourism-led growth hypothesis in the UAE: a bootstrap approach with leveraged adjustments

The emerging market of the UAE has chosen attracting international tourism as one of the main strategies during the recent decades in order to diversify its economy. The main goal has been to achieve sustainable growth without overreliance on the volatile oil sector. This article investigates the impact of tourism on economic performance in the UAE by using bootstrapped causality tests with leverage adjustments. The results show that the tourism-led growth hypothesis can be supported empirically. Thus, the conducted policy by the UAE government to promote international tourism for achieving economic growth might be considered as a sustainable strategy.
