联合确定基数合约:对魏茨曼模型的一个改进

本文针对国内外委托代理理论主要局限于理论分析层面而实用性不强的特点,在概要评论有关利润基数确定的相关文献的基础上,通过对美国一家公司委托代理实际案例的研究,提出了旨在能够解决实际委托代理关系的"联合确定基数法"。文章分析了联合确定基数法与棘轮效应模型的区别和联系,以数学方法论证了联合确定基数法的若干命题,描述了公司利润基数确定的利益诱导机制,并对比分析了联合确定基数法与西方教科书中的"激励设计模型"。本文试图以联合确定基数法为核心内容的一次性动态模型,代替蕴含着讨价还价过程的多次性动态模型。     

Demand for the truth in principal–agent relationships

Consider the following puzzle: If earnings management is harmful to shareholders, why don’t they design contracts that induce managers to reveal the truth? To answer this question, we model the shareholders–manager relationship as a principal–agent game in which the agent (the manager) alone observes the economic outcome. We show that the limited liability (LL) of the agent, defined as the agent’s feasible minimum payment, might explain the demand for earnings management by the principal. Specifically, when the LL level is high (low), a contract that induces earnings management may be less (more) costly than a truth-revealing contract. This finding offers a new explanation of the demand for earnings management.     

论个人所得税的二元课税模式

由于综合个人所得税制在理论基础和实际征管方面都存在着难以克服的困难,发端于北欧国家的对劳动所得适用累进税率而对资本所得适用比例税率的二元个人所得税制就成为一种较为现实而理想的模式,在国际上正得到日益广泛的支持。我国近年提出的综合与分类相结合的个人所得税制模式近似于二元所得税制,应当作为个人所得税改革的长远目标,但还需对具体制度安排进行恰当的设计。     

城乡统筹发展的理论梳理和深入探讨

无论是马克思主义还是西方新古典主义或者发展经济学都从不同层面上深入探讨了城乡统筹的本质和关键内容。统筹城乡经济社会发展必须深入研究造成中国二元经济结构的一般和特殊性问题。总结中国城乡发展失衡的内在机理,除了中国特色的工业化道路诱致和加剧了城乡二元结构的产生,一系列配套政策的实施则固化了二元结构的现状。中国二元经济结构的转变,不仅要实现农业剩余劳动力的转移,而且必须全面解决“三农”问题以及城市与乡村、经济和社会的协调发展问题。     

Dual VATs and Cross-Border Trade: Two Problems, One Solution?

In recent years, two distinct but related questions have been raised with respect to value-added taxes (VATs). Concern has been expressed over whether it is desirable or even possible for both national and subnational governments in federal countries such as India, Argentina, and Russia to impose VATs. One reason for thinking that such subnational VATs are unlikely to be workable on a destination basis is the problem of cross-border trade. Of course, this same problem also arises within the European Union, where there is no EU VAT. Drawing upon Canadian experience, we argue that not only is it possible to have two-tier or dual VATs on a destination basis in a single country but that the existence of dual VATs may help deal with some of the problems of cross-border trade.     

服务代理企业知识吸收能力的概念及构成

知识吸收能力对服务代理企业培养竞争优势实现可持续发展有着重要的意义。从组织层次的角度来看,服务代理企业的知识吸收能力由三部分构成:个体知识吸收能力、团队知识吸收能力、企业知识吸收能力。     

基于家族念业推行“委托-代理”制的思考

家族企业在向现代化企业迈进的过程中，委托-代理问题一直未能得到有效解决。西方家族企业委托-代理制的成功运作，有效地化解了家族企业管理的缺陷，证明了家族企业推行委托-代理制的可行性。本文从分析家族企业管理模式的弊端入手，提出“委托-代理”制将是完善家族企业可持续发展的重要途径。     

The Fear of Exclusion: Individual Effort when Group Formation is Endogenous*

To secure their membership in a popular group, individuals may contribute more to the group's local public good than they would if group formation were exogenous. Those in the most unpopular group do not have this incentive to contribute. This may result in substantial differences in individual effort level between groups. Our model thus provides one explanation for the existence of group‐specific behavioral norms. A principal will prefer exogenous or endogenous group formation depending on whether he prefers high or low levels of the local public good. We analyze two stylized examples: social interaction in schools, and multiple‐task teamwork.     

The dynamic unsubstitutability of sterilization operations and neutral-intervention operations under dual exchange rates

The purpose of this paper is to examine whether neutral-intervention operations are a substitute for sterilization operations under the dual-exchange regime from the viewpoint of dynamic adjustment. It is found that both operations will generate quite different behavior throughout the adjustment process, although they are substitutable from the viewpoint of insulating money supply from the status of the current account. In addition, we also found that if the monetary authorities either intervene in the financial foreign exchange market or undertake sterilization operations in the open market, the dual-exchange regime will lose its insulation function to external financial disturbances.
