2006年诺贝尔经济学奖得主菲尔普斯理论述评

本文介绍了2006年诺贝尔经济学奖得主埃德蒙·菲尔普斯的主要理论贡献。他在宏观经济政策跨期权衡分析、“黄金律”与经济增长、宏观经济政策的“短期—长期”分析、“自然率”、构建宏观经济学的微观基础,以及结构性萧条与繁荣等诸多领域进行了开创性的研究。菲尔普斯的理论和主张对西方经济理论和经济政策的研究都有十分重大的影响,对我国宏观经济问题和政策的研究有一定借鉴意义。     

云南少数民族地区可持续发展理念的形成和发展

在自然经济模式下,人们对资源的开发和利用十分有限,经济发展水平低,交流范围狭窄,因此,可持续性和生态平衡得以较好地维系。改革开放以来,特别是国家确立了建立社会主义市场经济体制的目标模式之后,少数民族地区的商品经济均有不同程度的发展,在国家确立了西部大开发和全面建设小康社会的战略目标之后,少数民族地区商品经济迅速发展起来。商品经济的发展对生态平衡和可持续性带来了前所来有的冲击,如何通过制度安排和技术手段来发展经济的同时保持生态平衡,实现可持续发展是少数民族地区经济发展面临的一个两难选择,为解决发展和保护之间的矛盾,云南少数民族地区可持续发展的理念便逐渐形成和发展起来。     

"自然债权"的"维权"--"过了诉讼时效"的债权人在债务人破产时能否实现权利

坚持以人为本的发展观是建设社会主义政治文明,推进依法治国的核心内容,是社会主义法律必须坚持的最高价值和基本精神。本文针对实践中的某一案例,提出了“自然债权”的“维权”问题。从“自然债权”是否真正消失“权利”、我国《破产法》的具体规定、以及法的价值等三个方面进行了系统阐述和分析,提出了“过了诉讼时效”的自然债权人在债务人破产时,也能实现自己实体意义上的债权的观点和建议。     

强自然垄断定价理论与中国电价规制制度分析

强自然垄断行业由于其定价方面的两难困境 ,需要规制者对其产品定价进行规制以在厂商利润与社会福利之间进行权衡。边际成本定价原则并不适合于自然垄断厂商。本文在规制定价理论以及激励规制理论的基础上 ,对中国电力定价问题进行了分析 ,认为电价改革的第一步应在发电环节中引入竞争的基础上 ,对不同效率类型的电力厂商设计不同激励强度的定价机制 ,另外本文尝试着对不同技术效率的电力厂商列出了不同激励强度的价格规制方案菜单     

Natural resources, capital accumulation and the resource curse

Early concern by economists for the effect of natural capital on economic growth gave way to complacency and neglect during the nineteenth century. Evidence has emerged, however, that since the 1960s the economic performance of low-income countries has been inversely related to their natural resource wealth. This relationship is not a deterministic one so policy counts. SEEA can help improve the policy and performance of resource-abundant low-income countries by reinforcing the rationale for the sound management of natural resources and also by providing an index of policy sustainability in the form of the net saving rate. This policy index, along with other measures such as a capital fund for sterilizing the rent, initiatives to increase the transparency of rent flows and the rigorous evaluation of alternative uses of additional public sector revenue can improve the efficiency by which natural resource rent is transformed into alternative forms of capital to sustain rising social welfare. Chad and Mauritania provide case studies to illustrate how SEEA and net saving can be used to diagnose policy failure and improve economic performance.     

人力资本价值、外部性与产权

人力资本价值包括使用价值和稀缺性价值,随着经济形态的演变,人力资本价值将上升,而且人力资本具有极强的正外部性,这是人力资本产权确立的重要基础.我国在进行物质资本产权制度改革的同时必须尽快建立一个有效的人力资本产权制度,以促进人力资本的形成和有效利用,这是我国在知识经济时代能否实现现代化目标、赶上发达国家的重要前提.     

The interactions between natural and physical capitals in the tourist lifecycle model

This paper presents a model of the interactions between natural resources and physical capital in the evolution of a tourist destination. The projected trajectory of the number of tourists approaches the classical lifecycle pattern. The post-stagnation phase is analyzed within the model, obtaining different patterns which depend on the impacts of physical capital on both demand and environmental degradation. The magnitudes of these impacts are determined by the type of tourism. An empirical application to the case of the tourist industry in the Canary Islands (Spain) is presented, showing that the model can represent the general characteristics of the post-stagnation phase of a tourist destination.     

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE THEORY OF NATURAL MONOPOLY

Abstract. This paper examines two important recent developments in the theory of natural monopoly, or more generally the theory of market structure. The first is a series of papers, involving Baumol with various co-authors, investigating the theory of industry structure, whilst the second is particularly associated with the names of Shaked and Sutton, and the relationship they develop between product differentiation and industry structure. The paper surveys and to some extent contrasts these two new approaches.
Baumol et al. 's contribution is seen to be in the area of clarifying the concept of natural monopoly, refining the definitions of multiproduct costs, and developing a notion of social efficiency applicable to industries where economies of scale are important. Shaked and Sutton employ a new definition of natural monopoly unrelated to market size and utilize information about consumers'income distributions to develop their notion of vertical product differentiation and natural oligopoly.     

苏联模式影响下的绿地资源管理——从历史 制度主义视角之“路径依赖”解读

历史制度主义是新制度主义中的重要分支，强调政 策是随着时间的推移而被制度塑造的，存在着“路径依赖”现 象，这意味着在过去制度环境中做出的政策选择影响现在的政 策结果。中国城市治理制度深受苏联模式的影响，若想理解以 及应对规划管理中存在的问题，首先需探索其历史。提供了一 种从规划历史切入分析的视角以更好地理解与解决规划管理中 的现存问题，进而构建具有我国发展特色的规划管理理论分析 方法。首先探讨了历史制度主义在制度分析中的应用及优势， 然后通过探讨与分析我国绿地资源管理现状证明苏联模式如何 通过“路径依赖”影响现在的绿地资源管理机制，将历史制度 主义分析方法应用于理解我国的规划管理实践中，在我国自然 资源部成立的改革大背景下提出相应政策建议。     

Assessment of regional trade and virtual water flows in China

The success of China's economic development has left deep marks on resource availability and quality. Some regions in China are relatively poor with regards to water resources. This problem is exacerbated by economic growth. Flourishing trade activities on both domestic and international levels have resulted in significant amounts of water withdrawal and water pollution. Hence the goal of this paper is to evaluate the current inter-regional trade structure and its effects on water consumption and pollution via ‘virtual water flows’. Virtual water is the water embedded in products and used in the whole production chain, and that is traded between regions or exported to other countries. For this assessment of trade flows and effects on water resources, we have developed an extended regional input-output model for eight hydro-economic regions in China to account for virtual water flows between North and South China. The findings show that the current trade structure in China is not very favorable with regards to water resource allocation and efficiency. North China as a water scarce region virtually exports about 5% of its total available freshwater resources while accepting large amounts of wastewater for other regions' consumption. By contrast, South China a region with abundant water resources is virtually importing water from other regions while their imports are creating waste water polluting other regions' hydro-ecosystems.
