中国区域经济发展水平空间差异研究

本文选取35项指标定量分析了我国经济发展水平的空间差异特征。我国发达型和较发达型省域少,欠发达型和落后型省域多,城市型政区发展水平高,民族型政区和少数民族集聚的省份发展水平低,长江三角洲、珠江三角洲经济发展水平高居全国前列。三大地带经济发展水平虽呈梯次展布,但反梯度现象同时存在,且东、中、西的差异主要表现为东部与中西部的差异。我国经济发展水平的差异以第三产业与外向型经济、居民生活质量表现更为突出。     

Growth effects of FDI in 80 developing economies: the role of policy reforms and institutional constraints

Theoretical and empirical literatures have identified several channels through which foreign direct investment (FDI) influences economic growth. This paper examines the impact of FDI on economic output growth per worker using aggregate production function augmented with FDI inflows, economic policy reforms and institutional constraints. The paper covers 80 developing countries over the period 1980–2006. We use panel data and employ fixed, random effects and GMM methods for estimation. Our results highlight the importance of FDI, policy reforms and institutional development for growth in developing economies. Finally, we demonstrate that irrespective of reforms and institutions, an increase in FDI affects output growth positively.     

The hydroelectricity consumption and economic growth in Asian countries - evidence using an asymmetric cointegration approach

ABSTRACT

This study examines the four commonly tested hypotheses in hydroelectricity consumption – economic growth literature for 12 Asian countries. Our results from a recently developed hidden cointegration technique uncover rich and significant relationships between negative and positive components of the variables under consideration. In particular, we find evidence to support the neutrality hypothesis in five countries (Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, Philippines, and Thailand), the growth hypothesis in four countries (India, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan), and both growth and conservation hypotheses in three countries (China, Malaysia, and New Zealand). These findings suggest that appropriate economic policies should be elaborated on the basis of the country’s specific hydroelectricity consumption–growth nexus. Finally, our new evidence suggests that the lack of stable relationship between hydroelectricity consumption and economic growth documented in previous studies for some of these countries could be due to the failure to properly account for the nonlinearity property in the data.     

Developmental Rent Management Analysis: Learning,Upgrading, and Innovation

In this article, I construct an original analytical framework, called the developmental rent management analysis (DRMA), for the analysis of rents and rent management. This framework is based on the premise that successful rent management depends on political and institutional arrangements to produce incentives and pressures for technical upgrading and innovation. This is because, while rents are created for a variety of purposes, rent outcomes — whether growth-enhancing or growth-reducing — depend on a set of political, institutional, and market conditions that take place formally and informally. Therefore, the key objective of the DRMA framework is to understand how a country’s politics, institutions, and industries are configured to incentivize and compel industrial upgrading. Thus, DRMA enables a broader and more complex understanding of the various factors at play in the process of development. I provide an illustrative application of the DRMA framework using the Vietnamese experience of adopting third-generation technology in the telecommunications industry.     

我国经济增长与环境质量关系的再检验

建立了经济增长与环境质量的关系理论模型,利用1985—2008年全国时间序列数据,通过相关分析、协整分析分别建立了工业三废与经济增长之间的回归模型,对经济增长与环境质量之间的关系进行了实证分析。结果表明:我国环境质量与经济增长之间并不存在EKC"倒U"关系;经济增长、产业结构、技术要素和污染治理都是影响环境质量的重要因素。     

城镇各阶层收入分配公平性的影响因素——基于PLS的分析

基于1978-2006年的时间序列数据,运用偏最小二秉回归(PLS)方法,对影响我国城镇各阶层收入分配公平性的因素进行了实证分析.鲒果发现,无论是从城镇低收入阶层的角度分析,还是从城镇高收入阶层的角度分析,有利于收入分配公平性的因素是一样的,即主要有经济增长率、第一产业就业比重、教育支出水平、政策性补贴水平等8种因素;而不利于收入分配公平性的因素主要有市场化进程、城市化水平、工业化程度、经济发展水平等13种因素.其中,金融规模和城市化水平对收入分配公平性的影响最为显著,经济增长率的影响最弱.     

绿色施工评价及其相关问题研究

首先分析绿色施工评价的研究背景,指出目前绿色施工已经在我国建设领域掀起热潮,但绿色施工的推行存在问题,并且缺乏对于绿色施工的具体界定。其次,界定了绿色施工评价的概念,并提出了绿色施工评价指标体系建立的原则,阐述了指标体系建立的思路,介绍了所建立的以四节一环保和经济性为主要内容的评价指标体系,提出了用层次分析法确定各指标的权重,运用模糊综合评价法进行综合评价的评价方法。再次,指出绿色施工评价目前存在的问题,并针对关键问题提出了解决方法。最后,对绿色施工评价的前景进行展望,提出了其下一步的发展方向。

江苏省区域经济增长的差异研究

以江苏省13个市域1978～2005年人均GDP数据为依据,分别采用标准差、变异系数、离差、比率分析方法研究了江苏省区域经济增长差异的时间特征及空间特征,同时提出了相关的对策建议。     

服务业外商直接投资与经济增长关系的实证分析——以江苏省为视角

在述评相关领域已有成果的基础上,以江苏省1992年到2007年的数据为样本,运用时间序列分析和滞后变量模型对服务业外商直接投资和江苏省经济增长的关系进行了实证研究。结果表明:江苏省GDP和SFDI均为非稳定的时间序列数据,但两者之间存在协整关系和正相关关系。
