上海自贸区发展融资租赁研究

融资租赁在发达国家已成为企业非常重要的一种融资工具,其交易规模仅次于银行信贷。融资租赁具有产融结合的特征,与上海自贸区服务实体经济的方向是一致的。上海自贸区成立后在放宽市场准入、加大税收优惠和提供金融支持等方面的制度创新促进了区内融资租赁的发展,但仍然存在一些制度瓶颈。为促进自贸区融资租赁的进一步发展,需要借鉴国外经验,进一步加大制度创新力度：统一融资租赁公司的政策和监管部门;进一步加大税收政策优惠;实现融资租赁机构的多元化融资和降低融资成本等。

The economics of rules of origin

Rules of origin of free trade arrangements limit the use of inputs from outside the preferential trade zone. A government negotiating a future FTAcan manipulate these rules in order to achieve national welfare objectives. The correct definition of rules of origin may help to enhance demand for domestically produced goods, promote national technological development, and maximize labour income. This paper proves that a more stringent rule of origin implies an increase of demand for the domestic factor if the substitution effect prevails over the effects caused by the decrease of the scale of operation in the domestic plant, and the reallocation of output between domestic and foreign plants. We further show that policy decisions regarding rules of origin that intertemporally maximize welfare and foster domestic technological evolution should be made at the greatest level of disaggregation that is feasible.

论民事诉讼中的证据共通原则——辩论主义与自由心证之协同

在民事诉讼中,为了获取胜诉判决,当事人通常会竭尽全力主张和举证。由于纠纷案件的复杂性、当事人以及代理人的诉讼技能参差不齐,当事人偶尔也会提出与己方主张相反,有利于对方当事人的证据。依据自由心证原则,在不违反辩论主义原则的情况下,法官可以通过证据共通原则做出自由的事实认定。证据共通原则是法官自由裁量权在证据认定程序中的体现,是民事诉讼中的一项重要的证据制度。

美国的新重商主义与中国的贸易政策选择

当今全球贸易的迅猛发展，使人民的生活质量明显提高，同时国家和社会也得到充足的收入。近十年来，中国经济一直以10％左右的速度增长，到2007年底进出口总额首次超过2万亿美元，达到21738亿美元，在国际社会引起不同的反响，西方社会特别是美国刮起了“中国威胁论”的妖风。在贸易政策中新保守主义抬头，这种新保守主义与传统的经济理论相背离，是破坏力极强的“新重商主义”，中国必须制定出有效合理的贸易政策来应对“新重商主义”的挑战。

The common external tariff of a customs union: Alternative approaches

The most prominent exception to the cardinal ‘most favoured nation’ principle of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) of 1947 is in its Article XXIV relating to Customs Unions (CUs) and Free Trade Areas (FTAs). This article required, first, the general incidence of the duties and regulations of commerce imposed by members of the CU with respect to trade with non-members shall not on the whole be higher or more restrictive than those that were applicable prior to the formation of CU or FTA, and, second, that substantially all the trade among members be free. Neither requirement was very operational, because the phrases ‘general incidence’ and ‘substantially all’ being difficult legal concepts to apply. The agreement of 1994 establishing the World Trade Organization (WTO) has made ‘general incidence’ precise by defining it import-weighted average of height of barriers but without offering any rationale for the definition. Now that preferential trading arrangements such as FTAs are proliferating, reform of Article XXIV is of importance. This paper describes alternative approaches to the central question of common external tariffs of a CU. Taking off from the work of Kemp and Wan who showed the existence of a common external tariff of CU that keeps the welfare of non-members unchanged while revising that of the CU as compared to the situation prior to the formation of CU, it characterizes such a tariff structure for two leading benchmark examples as consumption-weighted average of pre-union tariffs and subsidies in the member countries.
