公租房小区的特征及治理

公租房小区有三个特征:一是租房者和买房者的混居;二是政府在公租房小区有着相当比重的经济利益;三是居民都是社会的收入中下阶层。公租房小区要避免变成贫民窟,其关键之一是中下阶层的居民能够也愿意参与到小区的治理中来。在此基础上,公租房小区的治理应该强调以小区居民代表为主体组成小区管理委员会,居民代表由居民大会选举产生,买房者的投票权高于租房者,政府代表拥有一定比例的投票权。     

国家审计在走向善治的国家治理中若干重要问题

随着经济、政治、社会的发展和民主法治建设的推进,国家审计在参与国家治理中的地位与作用更加突出。根据当前的经济、政治发展水平,基于国家社会发展战略,结合现有的审计体制,深入研究国家审计在国家治理中的功能、战略目标及主要任务,着力探讨为进一步拓展和深化国家审计参与国家治理以期达成目标和完成任务所应考虑的国家审计的效率和实施效果、国家审计的成本及预算约束、国家审计的培训和能力提升、国家审计的宣传与信息沟通以及国家审计的责任和业务边界等问题,具有极其重要的理论和现实意义。     

Corporate Governance and the Environment: What Type of Governance Creates Greener Companies?

We build on a stakeholder–agency theoretical perspective to explore the impact of particular corporate governance mechanisms on firm environmental performance. Our empirical evidence shows that several important corporate governance mechanisms such as the board of directors, managerial incentives, the market for corporate control, and the legal and regulatory system determine firms' environmental performance levels. These results suggest that these different governance mechanisms resolve, to some extent, the existing divergence of interests between stakeholders and managers with respect to environmental activities.     

Board Determinants in Banking Industry. An International Perspective

This paper explores the factors influencing the board composition of an international sample of commercial banks over the period 1996–2006. After considering the dual role of the board as monitor and advisor, our analysis shows that no one board composition is optimal for the banking industry and that any such recommendation could harm bank governance. Our results suggest that more complex banks that have a low ownership concentration and are headquartered in a civil law country should have larger and more independent boards.

保险公司治理特殊性分析——三家上市保险公司的案例研究

保险公司治理不同于一般上市公司治理,不是公司治理理论在保险业的简单应用,而是治理理论与保险行业特殊性的有机结合。本文基于三家A股上市保险公司案例,以保险公司经营的特殊性为逻辑起点,深入剖析了保险公司各治理要素的特殊性,建立了涵盖治理目标、治理原则、治理结构与机制、治理风险、治理评价和治理监管等要素的保险公司治理特殊性分析逻辑框架,提出保险公司治理的首要目标是解决股东和债权人之间的委托代理问题,而非经典的股东管理者以及大小股东问的委托代理问题。     

The hierarchy of roads, the locality of traffic, and governance

This study investigates the use of road networks both within and outside of home jurisdictions (city (or town) and county of residence) by analyzing GPS data collected in the Minneapolis—Saint Paul metropolitan area. The study tracked volunteers' travel behavior to determine which roads (and thus which class of roads) users chose to accommodate their travel needs. More than half of the travel on county roads and city streets occur outside of one's home city, but most travel is within one's home county. The average share of travel distance in the home county is more than 70% for both county and city streets. The high share, which does not account for non-residents destined for the county to work or shop, e.g., implies that the free rider problem on city and county streets at the county level is minimal. Of particular concern is travel on city roads in cities other than one's own. To the extent that this is to go to a destination in that city, that travel is also local. However, because city and county roads are typically funded by those jurisdictions from land-based sources such as property taxes, through trips with neither end in the city through which they are traveling are in a very real sense “free riders”, and pose a problem. With growing trip lengths and emerging economies of scale in road management, it may be appropriate to consider moving more roads from township, town, or city level to the county level of government.     

Family Capitalism within Big Business

Abstract

The article addresses central questions in the research of family business, corporate governance and the transformation of Swedish industry. The analysis is drawn from the example of the Wallenberg family in Sweden, an industrial dynasty of five generations. Ideas of ownership and overriding values are discussed in relation to pressures of change in international industries. In detail, the article deals with 1) the concepts of corporate governance, long-term active ownership and networking capacity and the chronology of successful family capitalism, 2) the pressures for change experienced in early post-World War II Swedish industry in general and in the three multinational companies in particular, 3) how the owners and top management of the three companies responded strategically to these pressures and 4) the extent to which the provision of capital was accompanied by industrial competence or if simple patience on the part of capital was sufficient.     

国企党建与法人治理结构协同性初探

国有企业具有营利性与公益性,社会主义市场经济下的国有企业与中国共产党的领导、社会主义制度建设之间存在着深刻的政治逻辑,因而国企党建成为中国特色现代国有企业制度下的一种制度安排.国企党建与法人治理结构理论上存在协同效应,国企党建的现实困境源于传统的路径依赖与体制惯性,公司制国有企业中的党组织应该创新路径,围绕中心工作,定位于服务型党组织,切实发挥政治核心作用,将自身政治优势转化为企业核心竞争力.
