经济适用房存在的问题及相应对策分析

住房一直是人们关注的热点,基于帮助低收入群体解决住房问题,国家推出了经济适用房政策.由于政策本身的不完善,经济适用房政策在取得成效的同时逐渐背离最初目的,忽略了低收入群体,易滋生寻租腐败.由政府制定低收入标准,设计兴建并最终分配经济适用房,可切实帮助低收入家庭解决住房问题,减少寻租腐败.     

我国网约车业态发展中的新问题与规制创新

网约车是共享经济时代出租车市场的新业态,其在给人们出行带来便捷和多样化选择的同时,也受到传统出租车行业的抵制,各国政府对网约车的发展都进行了一定规制。我国是第一个承认网约车合法性的国家,但相关政策实施效果并不尽如人意,网约车市场明显萎缩,一些细则难以有效实施,网约车规制需要进一步创新。网约车和传统出租车各有优势,网约车规制不能着眼于数量限制,而应促使二者将自身优势最大化以满足市场需求;国家要明确方向,地方则应根据实际补充完善,地方政府在网约车规制创新中应发挥积极作用;要通过政企联动实现对网约车的大数据“互联网+”监管,也应充分发挥行业协会作用,完善行业监管和自我监管。

Growth,deregulation and rent seeking in post-war British economy

Post-war political consensus about the need for government action to rectify market failure began to unravel in the 1970s, and even the need for prudential control of banking and finance began to be challenged by the start of the 1980s. Regulatory oversight was relaxed in the belief that emerging techniques in financial engineering would render irrelevant fears of sharp periodic downturns that have historically been the consequence of lightly regulated finance. The outcome of this new policy, embracing the idea of unregulated markets to deliver greater prosperity, is disappointing. We find that the average growth rate of UK GDP and output per person employed for three decades from the start of liberalization was no greater than that in the previous three post-war decades. Cyclical fluctuations were deeper. A remarkable feature of the second period is the sharp rise in income inequality in favour of the very top earners. An illusion of greater prosperity for a wider segment may have been created in the second period due to asset price bubbles and housing inflation.     

Did rent deregulation alter tenure choice decisions in the Czech Republic?

Our study is the first that explicitly links rent deregulation and the choice between owning and renting (the tenure choice) using household decisions over a 1‐year period. The rent deregulation process in the Czech Republic started in 2006, two years after joining the European Union. By design, the maximum regulated rent appreciation depended explicitly on real estate prices, which accelerated the pace of deregulation due to rapidly rising prices at the time. A unique dataset enables us to track the tenure choice of households from consumption surveys for subsequent years. The proportion of households that switched from renting to owning sharply increased among renters of regulated apartments. We show that this change was caused by the deregulation process. In contrast, rent deregulation makes owners and renters paying market rent less likely to change ownership status.     

Has Nguyen Phu Trong's Leadership Curbed Economic Reform? Economic Reform Trends in Vietnam

This paper argues how the features of Vietnam's political‐administrative system and their recent changes have affected economic reform, particularly reform of state‐owned enterprises. After the 12th Party Congress in 2016, the Party Secretary General Nguyen Phu Trong's administration has seemed to exaggerate its conservative and totalitarian‐looking rule in the political arena. In contrast, the economic reform policies introduced by Trong's administration seem more transformative and progressive. This paper suggests that this contradiction must indicate changes in the policies relating to the state management of economic entities and/or a disguised form of reform to retain state influence over economic management, both of which tend to end up with pervasive rent‐seeking practices.     

The Residency Discount for Rents in Germany and the Tenancy Law Reform Act 2001: Evidence from Quantile Regressions

Most countries show a residency discount in rents for sitting tenants. In the wake of strong rent increases and housing shortages, Germany implemented a reform in 2001 to curtail rent increases. Based on linked housing‐tenant data for Germany, this paper estimates panel OLS and quantile regressions of rents within tenancies. The results show that rents deflated by the CPI increase strongly from 1984 until the reform in 2001, and there is a reversal in the trend afterwards. Before the reform, there is a significant residence discount which decreases in absolute value with tenure. The reform reduces rents, in particular for expensive apartments and for new leases. There is no residency discount after the reform.     

Rising mass incomes as a condition of capitalist growth. Preserving capitalism through the empowerment of labor in the past and the present

Abstract

Capitalism is market-regulated production for profit. Net profit depends on net investment spending. Net investment spending ultimately requires rising mass incomes. Both the transition to capitalism and its continued existence require social embeddedness and labor having negotiating power. Such a configuration is not an inevitable nor automatic result of history. Rather, this configuration is regularly threatened, because capitalists are not interested in preserving labor’s strength. Labor supports said configuration indirectly by the wage struggle. Where negotiating power of labor does not exist, market relations do not lead to capitalism but instead to the shedding of labor, to marginality, and to relations of rent appropriation. Today’s marginality-ridden economies of the Global South have become competitive in lines of production which are important for the leading industrial countries; however, they are competitive not on the basis of low real wages but on the basis of enhanced opportunities for currency devaluation. The tendency of wage restraint, in both the Global South and West, increases the danger of global underconsumption. There are considerable residual difficulties in bringing labor with different historical and cultural backgrounds in the West and in the South together in order to strengthen labor against international big business

我国会计寻租的原因探析

在我国,一些企业为了自身利益,如为了保住上市公司资格等原因而进行会计寻租。会计寻租会导致会计信息失真,造成租值耗散或效率损失,严重破坏了市场的正常运行环境。为了维护良好的经济运行环境,可以通过改进准则制定的监督机制,寻求管制者与被管制者之间的均衡点,合理配置政府行政主管部门的事务管理权等措施遏制会计寻租现象。
