中国城市最低生活保障标准的比较与评价

认为名义最低生活保障标准难以真实反映各地区最低生活保障救助的实际效果,引入新的指标,对中国城市近年来最低生活保障标准和实质救助水平及其变化趋势进行比较,同时为政府有关部门对最低生活保障的政策选择和评估提供一个新工具。研究结果显示,名义最低生活保障标准较高的城市,如深圳、上海等,其实质救助水平并不高。     

中国流动性过多与外汇储备累积

本文以流动性的界定以及流动性过多原因分析为起点,试图探究并论证我国流动性过多与外汇储备过度累计两者之间的关系及其作用机制。通过2000～2007年时间序列数据的经验研究表明,中国流动性过多与外汇储备累积之间存在双向因果关系。因此,要解决流动性过多问题,短期而言要缓解外汇储备过度累积,长期而言,要在外汇储备管理体制、人民币汇率制度、外汇市场交易体系等方面进行体制改革,从根本上切断外汇储备与货币供应之间的被动联系。     

基于技术获取目标的我国利用FDI策略研究

当前,我国利用FDI的经济环境已经发生了巨大变化,利用FDI的主要目标是要着力发挥外资的"技术溢出效应",获取国外的先进技术。然而,由于我国企业技术吸收能力较差、外资企业不愿技术扩散,以及我国不利的外部环境等多方面原因,导致我国获取FDI技术的效果一直不明显。因此,必须从政府和国内企业两个层面着手,通过制定有利于技术获取的引资政策、营造高度竞争的市场环境、提高国内企业对技术的学习和吸收能力等措施,以促进技术获取目标的实现。     

Effect of Foreign Shareholdings and Originating Countries on Banking Sector Efficiency

We analyze how foreign shareholdings affect the ASEAN-5’s banking sector efficiency using stochastic frontier analysis. Unlike most extant studies, which compare the performance of local and foreign banks, we assess how foreign shareholdings affect bank efficiencies. We also apply resource-based theory to analyze whether the foreign shareholdings’ countries of origin matter. We find that foreign shareholders from more developed countries enhance the bank’s resource base. Those from Asia have the greatest effect, perhaps because of their proximity and familiarity. Moreover, excessive regulation stifles the host countries’ profit efficiency potential. Finally, foreign shareholding concentration potentially enhances efficiencies by reducing agency costs.     

探索支持个人本外币兑换特许业务的发展路径

个人本外币兑换特许业务自2008年试点以来,尤其在2012年国家外汇管理局对特许业务的管理办法进行修订以来,业务量和机构家数增长迅速。但与国际货币兑换公司相比,国内仍存在业务量较低、对银行的依赖较大、业务范围较窄等问题。文章回顾了该业务在我国的发展现状,借鉴成熟国际特许机构的发展经验,对促进我国特许业务发展提出相关政策建议。     

The relationship between networks,institutional development,and performance in foreign investments

This paper empirically examines the relationship between the external business network of a country business unit (CBU) of a multinational firm, its performance, and the unique institutional characteristics of the foreign market in which it operates. We develop hypotheses about the CBU network structure associated with operating margin given different levels of institutional development, and the categories of network contacts associated with CBU operating margin. We test the hypotheses using social network analysis in 54 CBUs in two different business segments within one multinational company. Results show that the CBU network structure associated with higher operating margin depended partially on the level of the country's institutional development, and that network composition related strongly to CBU operating margin. We identify implications for research. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

论外语在高等教育中的隐性功能

外语在高等教育中发挥着不可替代的作用,而对于外语教育隐性功能的研究略显薄弱,因此,加强外语教育隐性功能的研究,发挥其对大学生教育的效果。根据当代外语教学理论的发展趋势,本文拟就外语教育隐性功能的内涵、外语教育隐性功能的具体内容以及如何在高等教育中加强外语教育隐性功能等几个问题进行论述。     

合格境外厂商的可行性及制度设计

本文在研究分析合格境外厂商的可行性及制度设计基础上,对完善交割纳税政策、防控资金套利和过度交易等相关问题作了探讨,并提出实施合格境外厂商制度等建议:在策略和步骤选择方面,可以先行试点,取得经验,逐步推广;在选择品种方面,可以先选择全球惟一上市品种、后选择普遍上市品种;在参与主体方面,可以先境外生产厂商,后境外加工商、贸易商,基金、保险公司等;在参与方式方面,合格境外厂商可以先作为客户、后发展自营会员;在交易和交割的平衡方面,可以先重点考虑交易可行性、后疏通交割渠道。     

Foreign direct investment and employment: host country experience

This study investigates the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on employment creation and wages in Ghana. A simultaneous panel regression model is used in estimating the effect FDI has on employment and wages. The results of this study indicate that FDI has a statistically significant and positive effect on employment levels in Ghana, but has an insignificant effect on wages. FDI can greatly augment domestic efforts by creating more jobs in the economy. The results clearly demonstrate that FDI flows affect employment quantitatively, but not necessarily qualitatively. The study identifies other factors including, productivity, wages, sub-sector, and location as important in influencing employment levels. Also, productivity, labour union, firm size, sub-sector, and location are noted as significant in affecting wages in Ghana. The main value of this paper is in respect of the fact that it provides insight into the effects of FDI flow on employment from a host country perspective. The study recommends that FDI should be considered as an integral part of the Ghanaian economic policy in order to spur on economic growth.
