INTEREG: A Twenty-region Input–Output Model for Italy

Since the regional scale turns out to be the scale at which fiscal devolution is likely to be accomplished in Italy, and that at which trade and growth interdependencies as well as regional convergence can be most conveniently investigated, a new 20-region input–output model for Italy seems to be a useful tool of analysis. Although various regional and interregional models have been constructed since the 1950s, none has been implemented for the whole system of 20 Italian administrative regions considered in their tight mutual dependence; also, the pool approach has not been greatly favoured, even in situations where direct information on regional trade is lacking. The main purpose of this paper is to report on the structure of the model, the rather complex procedure used in the model construction and the adopted solution technique. Some space is devoted to the problems encountered in handling regional trade endogenously in an input–output setting and to a comparison between the pool approach, used in the Italian model, and other current techniques. The paper also reports on some preliminary results regarding the regional impact of fiscal policy.     

Through trade wars,East Asians finally learning to cooperate with each other?

ABSTRACT

In this paper, I examine the Sino-U.S. trade disputes from less-talked about angles: institutional differences, SOEs, hukou control and contemporary Chinese history. Based on these, I provide suggestions for future cooperation and improvement.     

A theory of reciprocity

People are reciprocal if they reward kind actions and punish unkind ones. In this paper we present a formal theory of reciprocity. It takes into account that people evaluate the kindness of an action not only by its consequences but also by its underlying intention. The theory is in line with the relevant stylized facts of a wide range of experimental games, such as the ultimatum game, the gift-exchange game, a reduced best-shot game, the dictator game, the prisoner's dilemma, and public goods games. Furthermore, it predicts that identical consequences trigger different reciprocal responses in different environments. Finally, the theory explains why outcomes tend to be fair in bilateral interactions whereas extremely unfair distributions may arise in competitive markets.     

转移支付与地区经济收敛

转移支付是政府调节区域经济的重要政策手段 ,本文分析了 1 994年新财税体制改革以后转移支付与地区经济收敛的关系 ,发现转移支付总体上没有达到缩小地区差距的效果 ;对转移支付决定的因素分析 ,则解释了现行转移支付不能缩小地区差距的原因 ,最后提出了相关的政策建议。     

辽宁沿海经济带地脉文化旅游开发利用的经验、问题与对策

地脉文化也被称为地脉和文脉，是一个地方旅游发展的基石。根据地脉文化与旅游产品关系对比可以将旅游开发分为两类四型：（1）旅游产品扎根于地脉文化发展模式 （根基稳固、主次分明）；（2）旅游产品脱离地脉文化发展模式 （左顾右盼、横生枝节）。本文根据这一基本原理对辽宁沿海经济带旅游发展及旅游产品进行了系统分析，总结了辽宁沿海经济带地脉文化旅游开发利用的经验、问题与对策建议。结果显示：辽宁沿海经济带的地脉文化基础有 “海” “滩” “宜” “河” “港” “城” “工” “农” “山” “史”十大方面。 “海” “城” “山”的旅游产品是辽宁沿海经济带各地当前旅游发展主要方向； “滩” “农” “史”旅游产品是辽宁沿海经济带各地当前旅游发展主要方向； “滩”“农”“史”正在发展； “宜”（宜人气候、度假资源）表面发展丰富，实际潜力巨大； “河”（河流、湖泊、水库） “港” （港口） “工”（工业旅游）是被忽视或者发展滞后的地脉文化资源。     

福建长崎区域经济合作研究

区域经济合作是国际经济一体化的趋势，通过分析福建与长崎区域交流与合作历史、区域经济现状、积极作用。提出加强福建长崎经济合作可以通过加强高层交往，推进农业、服务业、海洋经济等合作，共促两地经济发展，造福两地人民。     

生产集中、人口分布与地区经济差异

动、静态比较分析发现 ,我国生产的极化作用不高 ,人口的极化作用过低。我国地区经济差距的主要原因是生产向东部地区不断集中的同时 ,人口没有相应地向那里集中 ,造成核心发达区域生产与人口分布高度失衡。鼓励中西部贫困人口向东部尤其是东部核心区域流动 ,是解决我国地区经济差距的有效策略。     

论大科学时代的国际科技合作

随着大科学时代的到来，科学研究国际化趋势日益加强，本文分析了科技革命的新趋势、新特点赋予国际科技合作的新内涵、新方式，以及当前我国在国际科技合作中存在的问题，探讨在新的形势下如何更好的利用国内外两个市场、两种资源，提升我国的国际竞争力和影响力。     

联产品协同生产的成本驱动实证研究

实证研究证明，联产品生产的协同作用也是产品成本的驱动因素。协同成本的动因在于联产品的组成变量。在联产品协同生产过程中，所采取的基于非线性成本函数的边际成本计算法，应该是数理依据严谨、实务应用可行的方法。     

中国的经济发展战略与地区收入差距

本文认为 ,当前中国大陆各省区市之间发展水平差距的主要原因在于 ,重工业优先发展的赶超战略下形成的生产要素存量配置结构 ,与许多省区市的要素禀赋结构决定的比较优势相违背 ,从而导致大量的赶超企业缺乏自生能力。基于各省区市的数据进行的实证研究与我们的假说相容。
