中国西部省区市区域竞争力的评价、问题与对策

文章从资源环境、经济实力、产业市场、对外开放、基础设施、人力资本、科技创新和管理服务八大方面构建包括40个二级指标在内的区域竞争力指标体系,并在此基础上采用了基于主成分分析、层次分析两种方法的组合评价法进行了中国西部省区市区域竞争力的研究.通过计算中国西部11个省区市和东、中、西三大地带的区域竞争力组合指数,分析了西部与东部省市区域竞争力的差异性以及西部省区市区域竞争力存在的问题,最后提出了提高西部省区市区域竞争力的对策建议.     

Law and credit constraints in transition economies1

Using a survey of over 4,000 firms in 21 transition economies, this paper investigates how legal extensiveness (law on the books) and legal effectiveness (law in practice) affect availability of bank finance. Our findings suggest that both law on the books and law in practice are important, but that they impact firms of different sizes differently. Small firms appear to be the most credit constrained in countries with weak creditor rights and with weak contract enforcement, while large firms are the most credit constrained in countries with weak courts and unclear and inconsistent laws pertaining to firms’ business operations.

产业多元化：微型经济体国际比较

澳门产业多元化问题是内地和澳门特区政府以及学术界十分关注的问题。根据产业组织理论,对澳门以及和澳门类似的3个经济体——卢森堡、冰岛和马耳他的产业部门数量和各产业部门在整个经济中的分布进行了比较。使用就业人口和GDP数据计算出的熵指数和赫芬达尔指数显示,澳门的产业多元化程度低于卢森堡、冰岛和马耳他。研究也发现：导致澳门产业多元化程度低的主要原因不是澳门产业部门的数量少,即所谓的＂产业结构单一＂,而是各产业在澳门整个经济活动中的比重不均衡,即所谓的（博彩产业）＂一业独大＂。研究结论可为澳门特区政府制定产业多元化政策提供参考借鉴。     

Location factors of FDI and the growing services economy1

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has increasingly shifted toward the service sector. This change in the industrial composition of FDI and the non‐tradable nature of services may have altered the importance of location factors for investment decisions. To capture potential changes in FDI determinants, a contrasting sectoral analysis is performed. Based on FDI stock data from eight new EU member states for the period 1998–2004, we implement a dynamic panel approach allowing the speed of adjustment to the equilibrium investment level to vary across sectors. Results support our assumption that investment into the service sector, which is characterized by low installation costs, adjusts much faster to its desired level than manufacturing FDI. Thus, government interventions to attract FDI are likely to boost the service sector immediately while having a slower impact on manufacturing FDI. Furthermore, as services are mostly non‐tradable, FDI into this sector is largely based on market‐seeking motives while FDI in the manufacturing sector is also driven by international price competitiveness measured by real unit labour costs.     

从《中国文化与基督教的冲撞》译瑕看翻译的难度

通过阅读法国汉学家谢和耐(Jacques Gernet)所著《中国与基督教的冲击——一种文化冲突》一书可以发现,此书在翻译中存在很多不足,最主要表现在漏译、错译、中译文与原文意思相佐、缺乏原文的佐证等几方面。这就提醒人们,在做学术著作翻译时,译者不但要具备较高的外文功底,同时还应具备较高学识素养,尤其是对两国文化及其差异的掌握更为重要。同时还要求译者要对工作一丝不苟,耐心对照原文,以防漏译、错译,甚至意思相左等常见失误的发生。
