Orange County Bankruptcy: Financial Contagion in the Municipal Bond and Bank Equity Markets

We examine the spillover wealth effects of the Orange County, California bankruptcy announcement in December 1994 on municipal bonds, municipal bond funds, and bank stocks. This bankruptcy is prominent because of unprecedented losses and because it was caused by a highly leveraged derivatives strategy rather than a shortage of tax revenues and excess spending. We find contagion in the bond market with significantly negative abnormal returns for municipal bond funds without direct exposure to Orange County and for non‐Orange County municipal bonds. In addition, our findings suggest the contagion spills over to the common stocks of investment and commercial banks that deal in or use derivatives; however, the equities of banks unexposed to derivatives are not affected.

Quality Competition and Social Welfare in Markets with Partial Coverage: New Results*

We use a vertical product differentiation model under partial market coverage to study the social welfare optimum and duopoly equilibrium when convex costs of quality provision are either fixed or variable in terms of production. We show the following new results. First, under fixed costs, the social planner charges a uniform price for the single variant that just covers costs of quality provision. Like the duopoly equilibrium, this socially optimal pricing entails a partially uncovered market, but a smaller share of the market is served compared with the duopoly equilibrium. Second, for the variable cost case, it is socially optimal to provide both high‐ and low‐quality variants, but market shares need not be equal. This differs from the result in fully covered markets. Third, in the duopoly equilibrium, the quality spread is too wide under variable costs relative to the social optimum. Under fixed costs, the duopoly produces two variants, but quality is too low relative to the social optimum, which has only one variant.     

城镇化水平与农民收入的相关性研究

城镇化水平与农民人均收入存在着密切关系，即城镇化水平越高，农民人均收入越高；城镇化水平越低，农民人均收入越低。因此，要增加农民人均收入，就必须提高城镇化水平，特别是提高中西部省份的城镇化水平。文章主要运用统计学中的回归分析方法来阐述这一观点。

基于税基差异分析的企业所得税与会计制度协调与对策

所得税法与会计制度的差异是由税法目标与会计目标的分离所决定的,比较、分析、研究二者间的差异亦具有十分重要的意义。本文从理论上归纳出会计制度与企业所得税法间的差异,探讨了企业所得税及其与会计制度差异存在的问题,并对所得税改革与会计制度协调提出政策性建议。     

"按劳分配"在理论与实践中遇到的困难及其对策

文章在阐述我国个人收入分配制度确立的理论和实践依据的基础上，分析了“按劳分配”在理论与实践中遇到的难题，即“各尽所能”遇到的困难；劳动力成为商品与按劳分配的冲突；“劳”的理解问题；不同所有制、不同行业、不同职业、不同地区、城乡居民、高低收入群体收入差距不断拉大对按劳分配提出的挑战等，进而提出解决这些困难的主要对策。     

人力资本对非农就业收入的影响——基于村庄内外的视角

利用山西省2004年3 506名农村居民的抽样调查数据,比较分析了人力资本对劳动力村内、村外非农就业收入的影响。在进行OLS估计,考虑到可能出现的选择性偏误,使用Heckman二阶段模型进行纠正后发现,无论是在村内还是在村外,受教育年数对非农就业收入均有显著的正向影响;受过职教培训与劳动力村内非农就业收入具有显著的负向关系,但其对村外非农就业收入的促进作用却十分明显;拥有技术职称在村内取得了显著的收入回报;健康对于村内非农就业收入的影响并不十分明显,但在村外,健康成为重要的影响变量。     

社会收入信息系统与基尼系数测算结果的可信度研究

基尼系数作为衡量居民收入分配不均等程度的有效指标，其结果可信与否受到测算方法以及样本数据两个因素的影响。本文从居民收入样本数据角度出发，通过分析我国基尼系数测算结果与实际情况存在差异的现实及原因，认为提高基尼系数测算结果可信度的当务之急是构建一个能够真实全面反映居民各项收入情况的社会收入信息系统。
