Bilateral political relations,space spillovers and the import expansion of China’s bulk commodity

The stability of bulk commodities imports is crucial to the development and stability of the country’s economy. Because its political attribute is more significant than other commodities, the trade of bulk commodities is more easily affected by bilateral political relations. However, there are only few studies examine the impact of political relations between countries and their spatial spillovers on bulk commodities’ imports. Based on “United Nations (UN) Voting General Assembly Voting Data” and “China Import and Export Statistics Data” from 1996 to 2014, this paper empirically examines the influence of the spatial spillover of China’s political relations with countries other than potential importing countries on the import expansion of China’s bulk commodity from the potential importing country. The results show that the improvement of bilateral political relations between China and other countries has a negative spatial spillover effect on the import of bulk commodities. However, this negative effect will be changed as China starts to establish a sound bilateral political relation with the potential importing country. Meanwhile, the more significant the political attributes of commodities, the greater the negative effect of spatial spillover. The import expansion of commodities with significant political attributes requires an improvement in direct bilateral relations.     

中国新型城镇化建设应通过产城融合来保障人的生存和发展

解决好人的生存和发展保障问题是以人为核心的新型城镇化的应有之义,传统城镇化出现“城市病”问题的根源在于人的发展对经济发展的让位。就业的实现和水平的提高在保障人的生存和发展中是根本性的、全面性的和可持续性的,推进产业与城市的融合发展可成为实现这一目标的突破点。文章认为,产城融合的新型城镇化建设必须在制度设计中植入和强化人的发展权理念;培育和扶持乡镇集体经济发展,推进农村社区建设和功能完善,创新农民主导的就地转移的新型城镇化模式;探索资源分配共享机制,促进城乡居民发展权的公平性与均衡性;优化城镇空间布局,在产业与城市的协调发展中增强人的发展的可持续性。     

丝绸之路上的陇右文化为唐人小说提供了丰富的素材

丝绸之路的开通为陇右文化增添了新的色彩,它是从三秦文化到西域文化整个西北文化带的过渡环节。是中华文化不可缺少的一部分。唐人小说的兴盛便主要得益于当时的文化环境,尤其是陇右文化地域的文化性格：尚武的精神特质、多元文化的开放性特征、质朴的情感特色。陇右文化性格为唐人小说作家的创作以及素材的选择都有一定的影响。陇右文化相互的认同和理解,为唐人小说添上了精彩的一笔,多姿多彩的陇右文化为唐人小说的创作提供大量的素材。陇右文化在唐人小说中的渗透,推动了唐人小说繁荣的脚步,同时也让我们看到了唐人小说所蕴含的陇右文化精神源远流长。

ABSTRACT

Economic theory predicts that regional wages will converge as transport and communication technologies bring labour markets together. An exploration of this transition from labour market segmentation to unification requires long-term evidence of nominal wages and cost of living by region. This paper presents new evidence of wages for male manufacturing workers and cost-of-living indices across 24 Swedish counties between 1860 and 2009. Our findings indicate that the Swedish regional wage differentials were a great deal larger in the 1860s than in the 2000s. Most of the compression took place between the 1860s and World War I, as well as in the 1930s and during World War II. Differences in expenditures on housing impact on our assessment of convergence in the post-World War II decades: the nominal measure declines, while the real one stays constant. Our concluding discussion engages with the assumption that before World War I, regional wage convergence was associated with labour mobility, spurred by improved communication and transportation technologies as well as by the implementation of modern employment contracts. In the 1930s and 1940s, in contrast, regional wage convergence can be traced to high unionisation and centralised collective bargaining in the labour market, two distinguishing features of the Swedish Model.     

成本节约的不确定性、效率抗辩与并购评估审查

横向并购可能给参与并购的企业带来成本节约而产生效率效应,同时也可能产生反竞争效应。在横向并购反垄断审查的效率抗辩中,并购企业只要能够证实成本节约的效率效应能够抵消反竞争效应进而增进社会总福利水平,就可以获得反垄断当局的批准。然而,成本节约及其实现程度具有不确定性,成本节约的不确定性不仅会影响消费者剩余和社会总福利水平,而且将对效率抗辩和反垄断当局并购审查的判定规则产生影响。本文以Cournot模型为基础,系统分析了成本节约的不确定性对于横向并购反垄断评估审查中效率抗辩、判定规则和预期消费者福利的影响,为反垄断当局在并购评估审查中如何考虑效率因素提供决策参考。

企业国际化与产业集群国际化比较研究

文章认为,经济国际化是当今世界经济发展大趋势。作为一个国家或地区经济国际化发展的主要载体,企业国际化水平或产业集群国际化水平正成为一国或地区经济国际竞争力的重要表现。文章通过比较分析指出,企业国际化和产业集群国际化之间有着共同的内涵和相互促进作用,但在先后次序、主体构成、风险和绩效等方面也有重要差别。     

宪政视野下宪法对国家干预市场经济权的规范

从宪政视野来看,国家干预市场经济权必须有宪法依据,并受到宪法的规范。外国宪法通常从权力的来源与权力行使方式、原则、义务和责任等对国家干预市场经济权进行规范。我国宪法在国家干预市场经济权的规范方面还存在一些问题,应完善宪法规则,以强化对国家干预市场经济权规范和促进经济法律制度完善。     

价格竞争:企业无可回避的选择

市场机制其实就是价格机制,市场的诸多经济功能,在很大程度上是通过价格竞争才得以实现的。价格 竞争是企业实施成本领先战略的市场体现。成本领先战略作为一种有效的竞争战略,对企业的规模和素质提出 了很高的要求,并以充分的、自由的价格竞争为前提。
