中国利用ICSID国际仲裁机制的立法思考

为有效利用ICSID国际仲裁机制,从立法上,可将我国能作为ICSID当事人的机关规定为"中央人民政府及经其同意的其他政府机构";在ICSID仲裁的争议范围上,应将除有关我国法律有效性的争议和中国法律解释的争议和国有化合法性争议外,其他争议均可考虑同意ICSID仲裁解决;在协议仲裁要件上,我国除在有关的国际条约中约定ICSID仲裁条款外,还可在与外国私人投资者的投资协议中约定ICSID仲裁条款.     

Testing for spatial market integration: evidence for Colombia using a pairwise approach

We examine the extent of spatial market integration in Colombia using consumer price index data for 153 consumer goods in 13 cities. An econometric analysis of the time‐series properties of all the possible city price differentials reveals that market integration tends to occur more frequently in unprocessed food products, as opposed to processed foods, other traded and nontraded products. The results also support the view that, except for nontraded products, the speed at which prices adjust to the long‐run equilibrium is slower for cities that are farther apart.

标准必要专利权人滥用市场支配地位的反垄断问题研究

标准必要专利在标准与专利的整合中应运而生并提升了知识经济效能。但是,专利标准化的同时也扩大了专利权人在相关市场的支配力,很容易产生专利权滥用行为,如不公平高价许可、不合理搭售、无正当理由要求反向许可等。以标准必要专利权人滥用市场支配地位为切入点,以高通案为例,分析标准必要专利权人滥用市场支配地位的反垄断问题,针对反垄断法体系,从立法与执法两个方面提出政策建议,为涉及标准必要专利的反垄断行政执法和反垄断诉讼提供借鉴。     

Cash policy and the bank-firm relationship

Bank health affects a firm's cash holding - a healthy bank can result in either more (because of the influential bank power) or less (because of precautionary motive) firm-level cash holding. Motivated by the contrasting views in the existing literature, this paper investigates whether bank policy determines firm-level cash policy. Using Japanese firm-level data over 2000–2014, we find that the difference in bank health effects stems from the firm's investment status. We find that healthy banks induce growing firms to hold more cash while declining firms hold more cash when borrowing from unhealthy banks. Furthermore, we find that banks with more liquidity also induce their growing borrowers to have more cash. Our results are robust to the endogeneity of bank selection. Our study indicates that bank-firm relationship can serve as an advance-signalling device for a firm's shareholder-wealth-maximizing investments and contributes to the literature that explains the cash holding puzzle.     

Park-PFI制度在日本都市公园建设管理中的应用——以南池袋公园为例

随着城市公园数量和面积逐年增加,公园管理负担日益加重。如何创新城市公园建设管理模式,有效减轻公园建设管理成本并提升公园活力是后公园时代面临的重要问题。日本的公园管理经历了由重“量”到重“质”的转变,其制度体系也在不断更新与完善。介绍了日本新型都市公园管理制度——“Park-PFI”的概况及其产生背景,并以南池袋公园为例,详细考察了Park-PFI制度在日本公园建设管理中的运用;探讨了该制度在城市公园建设管理与运营一体化模式创新、公私合作管理权责明确以及激活公园“准公共产品”与“公共资产”双重属性以促进公园活化并带动城市经济发展等方面对中国的启示。     

Corporate governance and the insolvency risk of financial institutions

We investigate whether shareholder-friendliness of corporate governance mechanisms is related to the insolvency risk of financial institutions. Using a large sample of U.S. financial institutions over the period 2005–2010, we find that corporate governance is positively related to the insolvency risk of financial institutions as proxied by Merton’s distance to default measure and credit default swap (CDS) spread. We also find that “stronger” corporate governance increases insolvency risk relatively more for larger financial institutions and during the period of the financial crisis. Lastly, our results suggest that shareholder-friendliness of corporate governance mechanisms is viewed unfavorably in the bond market.     

Gig Work and the Discourse of Autonomy: Fictitious Freedom in Japan’s Digital Economy

ABSTRACT

The introduction of ‘gig work’ has been accompanied by an official discourse which highlights the benefits for ‘gig workers’, especially as arises from the more autonomous nature of this particular type of employment. In contrast, this paper draws upon the cultural political economy approach to argue that the move towards gig work is more accurately conceptualised as an attempt to legitimate the further flexibilisation of labour markets within advanced industrial democracies, seeking to construct economic imaginaries that are best described as a form of ‘fictitious freedom’. In drawing on the cultural political economy approach, the paper explores the interaction between the structural, discursive and technological selectivities which have generated these outcomes. This is done through a discussion of the case of Japan, which is selected as a key case that highlights the tensions and pressures leading to the introduction of gig work in this way across the advanced industrial democracies. The article shows how gig work sees new digital technologies used in an attempt to increase productivity and thereby further growth, locking gig workers into low-skilled and low-paid super-fragmented tasks, whilst at the same time heralding the benefits that gig work can provide for a range of contemporary problems.     

恩格尔系数失灵的若干影响因素分析

文章所探讨的恩格尔系数失灵,是指恩格尔系数在中国现实情况下被低估而不能正常反映现实经济情况的现象。文章认为,导致恩格尔系数失灵的因素包括房地产价格上升、社会保障制度不健全、收入分配差距扩大、食品安全问题等,这些因素都会降低居民食物的显性支出。文章提出,恩格尔系数的划分标准是居民生活质量重要的评判依据,但不是惟一的评判依据。在实际应用中,恩格尔系数须结合GDP、人均GDP、基尼系数等指标一同搭配使用,才能更好的作为测定居民生活水平的依据。政府应通过宏观经济政策的规制,提高恩格尔系数对现实经济运行的解释力,弱化并消除恩格尔系数失灵的现象。
