新疆林木种苗产业的市场结构、企业行为与市场绩效

市场结构和行为对市场绩效的影响机制是解释产业发展的重要前因。通过实地调研,分析新疆林木种苗产业组织市场结构-市场行为-市场绩效内在规律。结果表明,新疆林木种苗产业市场结构属于垄断竞争型市场结构;相当数量企业生产能力效率较低;市场种苗产业的生产能力利用率不高,市场绩效低下。基于结论,提出从优化市场结构,调整市场行为两个方面进行产业政策调整,进而提高市场绩效。     

Measuring the effects of preservation on farm profits in a continuous treatment setting

Despite billions of dollars of public appropriations to state purchase of development rights (PDR) programmes, there has been limited evaluation of the effects of these investments on the economic performance of preserved farms. This article estimates dose-response functions to evaluate the effects of enrolment in New Jersey’s PDR programme on farm profitability. The generalized propensity score method in a continuous treatment setting is used to address selection bias arising from voluntary programme participation. Treatment effects are measured across treatment levels to determine whether farm profitability is affected differently across levels of programme participation. Our findings reveal that, relative to unpreserved farms, profit per acre tends to increase along lower treatment levels. The profit per acre of preserved farms in the 1–40% treatment range is, on average, $407 higher than that of unpreserved farms in the full sample. Positive profit differentials averaging between $317 and $472 per acre are also observed in the 1–20%, 1–40% and 1–60% treatment quintiles in the farming occupation sample. We do not observe statistically significant profitability differentials when treatment effects are averaged across all positive treatment values.     

Neo-institutionalism is not yet a scientific success: a reply to Barry Weingast

Barry Weingast agrees that the idea of liberalism was crucial for the making of the modern world, though in most of his comment he turns to his own writings making institutional change the crux. Yet institutions in Britain did not in fact change much, the changes had little economic oomph, and underlying property rights were good in numerous economies worldwide since ancient times. An ideational economic history works better: liberty caused our riches.     

Credit market frictions and political failure

We study how an excessively favorable regulatory environment for banks could arise even with a perfectly competitive credit market in a median voter world. In our occupational choice model with heterogeneous wealth endowments, market failure due to unobservability of entrepreneurial talent endogenously creates a misalignment between surplus maximizing reforms and reforms that are preferred by the median voter, who is a worker. This is in contrast to the world without market failure where the electorate unanimously vote in favor of surplus maximizing institutional reforms. This paper illustrates how market failure could lead to political failure even in the benchmark political system that is free from capture by interest groups.     

马克思、恩格斯的人权批判的双重维度及其启示

马克思主义通过对西方近代人权观的法哲学批判,指出了人权的历史性;通过对资产阶级人权实质的政治经济学分析,揭示了人权的具体性。人权是普遍性与特殊性、应然性与实然性、社会性与个体性的统一。

浅析自然权利冲突与协调

通过对自然权利相关概念的分析与界定,明确自然权利的提出绝对不是没有现实基础的单纯思辩,而是有一定实际基础的.它的现实基础讲起来很简单,日益恶化的生态危机让人的生存问题开始严峻起来了,一方面人们开始重视人与自然之间的关系问题,开始思索人在自然当中的角色定位问题;另一方面是人与自然之间的冲突问题,即自然权利问题.要解决自然权利的问题,建立人与自然的协调发展,实现人类与自然界关系的全面、协调关系是人类生存与发展的必经之路.

Staged venture capital contracting with ratchets and liquidation rights

This paper uses real options analysis to study later round financing in the presence of two standard venture capital contracting provisions: anti-dilution (ratchet) and liquidation preference. We argue that such provisions can preclude financing of a positive NPV venture in the case of a large follow-on financing relative to firm value. Liquidation preference contracting at multiples greater than one is not feasible in the later round if the financing is small relative to firm value. We highlight an interaction effect between the two provisions: increasing the liquidation multiple can help to avoid dilution and the need for the prior venture capitalist to waive ratchet provisions.     

日本掠夺东北森林资源对生态环境的破坏和影响 ——以松花江流域为例

日伪时期,松花江流域的森林资源遭受到日本侵略者的疯狂采伐。日本侵略者通过修建森林铁路将大量砍伐的木材运往国内,同时在东北地区开设一系列制材工厂以满足其战时需求。日本殖民者对森林资源的破坏严重影响了流域内的生态环境,造成水土流失加剧,旱涝灾害频发,大量珍贵动植物数量减少,松花江水质污染、空气污染严重,对战时乃至战后人民的生产生活造成极大危害。
