城市户外广告监管的多元互动

基于城市户外广告媒体监管机制的文献梳理和现实回顾,分析了城市户外广告的监管主体和监管机制,阐述了城市户外广告媒体监管的不确定性风险,即政府俘获造成寻租风险,资源开发造成产权风险,特许经营造成市场风险,并结合监管过程中的治理冲突,尝试构建城市户外广告监管的协作性公共管理系统。该系统以政府、行业与公众三方互动为输入,通过协作性管理的转换机制输出良好的广告秩序和经济效益,实现治理模式从单一垄断向多元互动模式的转变。     

西方公共产品私人供给研究新近发展——BBV理论及相关文献综述

西方经济学传统观点认为,公共产品由私人提供是无效的,因此,公共产品只能由政府来提供。然而,在现实中却存在着有效的私人提供的公共产品。对此,经济学家对公共产品的供给模式给予了重新思考。BBV理论为公共产品私人供给奠定了研究基础和指引了研究方向,博弈论和实验经济学为其研究提供了有效方法。

A Survey of Capital Budgeting Techniques in the Public and Private Sectors of a Less Developed Country (LDC)

ABSTRACT

This study surveys the capital budgeting practice in private and commercially-oriented public sector enterprises in the Sudan, an African Less Developed Country (LDC). The study attempts to fill a gap in the existing literature by documenting the capital budgeting practice in an LDC where the economic environment is different than the developed and developing counterparts and where public sector still plays a major role in the economy.

The study found a sizable number of commercially-oriented public corporations that do not use capital budgeting techniques in their capital investment decisions while the majority of private sector companies use these methods. Among the corporations that use capital budgeting methods, both in the public and private sector, the payback method (PB) is the most widely used method, followed by the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV) in the private sector and the public sector respectively.

The study also revealed additional factors such as cost, size, quality, experience and hard currency requirements that affect the capital budgeting process in both sectors. However, there are differences in the level of importance of these factors between the two sectors.     

Serious cartel conduct,criminalisation and evidentiary standards: Lessons from the Coal Vend case of 1911 in Australia

The criminalisation of anti-competitive behaviour such as price fixing has long been a feature of US antitrust law. Some European countries have introduced criminal penalties for price fixing while in others the matter is under debate. Australia introduced such laws in 2009. Of critical importance when considering criminalisation is the evidentiary standard expected in criminal prosecutions. A century ago, in the Coal Vend case, the High Court of Australia broke new evidentiary ground in applying forensic accounting and economic methods to examine price fixing. Subsequently overturned, much could still be learnt by policy makers and competition agencies from this case.     

Business history,global networks and the future of mobility

Globalisation raises serious concerns about ecological sustainability and social equality. This article proposes that business historians should write a usable past that is framed by the imperative of addressing these issues. The transport and communication networks that underpin global trade and travel offer an opportunity to narrate such a past. In particular business enterprises have historically helped to shape the ways consumers think about and realise bodily movement. By contributing to a genealogy of these mobility cultures, business historians can help to uncover the mythic traces that continued to shape contemporary public and policy understandings of global mobility.     

The role of implicit contracts: Building public works in the 1840s in Portugal

This article studies financial schemes for building public works in the 1840s. The study of the Portuguese case clearly illustrates the importance of implicit contracts with governments in peripheral Europe, shedding light on solutions for financing the provision of public goods. Building roads and railways seems to have been the fruit of an implicit contract behind the tobacco monopoly in a country involved in social turmoil and civil wars. Reputation effects are called to explain the relevant range of the partners' negotiations, to reject the traditional historiography based on wrong management and speculation in a period of savage capitalism.     

公众力量在城市社区可持续更新中的作用

政府及开发商通过权力与资本结盟的方式来推动城市社区的更新,公众参与和合作的作用往往被完全忽视.田子坊城市社区更新的事例充分证明,在单纯公众主事的城市社区更新中需要一个多方参与的、开放的更新模式,这种公众力量参与其中的城市社区更新模式是一种可持续的模式,对于今后的城市社区更新具有广泛的启示意义和示范价值.
