Public finance and the optimal speed of transition*

We develop a general equilibrium model that jointly considers the influence of capital accumulation constraints and of labour market frictions on the process of transition. We endogenize the economic and budgetary costs of different government policies and show that, early in transition, governments ought to subsidize state firms. Provided that intertemporal commitment is feasible, this policy limits the initial output fall, which relaxes capital accumulation constraints, accelerates transition, and increases welfare. Moreover, by resorting to indirect – instead of direct – taxes, governments can bring the path of transition closer to the first best. Yet, political pressures may induce a policy of suboptimal subsidization.

浅析90年代以来日本"流通革命"的原因

90年代以后日本流通业进入激烈变革时期，这种变革是二战以来的第二次流通革命。流通革命改变了日本流通体系和结构，流通企业和生产企业之间的重组日益流行，流通运营方式正在发生变化，因此流通革命将对日本经济产生重要影响。导致日本流通革命的原因很多，主要表现在价格破坏、定价体制改变、进口增加、购买方式变化、流通自由化、产销同盟和信息化等方面的原因。对这些原因及其背景的分析也反映了当今日本经济的概貌和面临的课题。

Managerial Equity Ownership and the Demand for Outside Directors

This paper examines the linkage between the use of outside directors and managerial ownership. We conjecture there are two linkages: the standard incentive‐alignment demand for monitoring when managers own little stock and an entrenchment‐amelioration demand when managerial stock ownership is high. As a consequence, we predict the association between managerial ownership and board composition will be nonlinear (U‐shaped if the entrenchment effect is sufficiently pronounced). Using UK data, we find that both quadratic and logarithmic models outperform the simple linear relationship assumed in prior research and that the substitution between managerial ownership and board composition is stronger than hitherto supposed.
