我国原产地规则存在的问题与对策研究

原产地规则(Rules of Origin,ROOs)是国际贸易中的一项重要规则和各国海关管理的一项重要制度,它涉及到每一国家和地区的经济贸易利益,因此已成为各国对外贸易政策的重要组成部分。然而当美国、欧盟等发达国家、区域集团把原产地规则作为一种“灰色”的政策工具灵活自如地运用时,中国对原产地规则的运用却仍停留在最惠国和普通两栏关税税率的计征和进口国别统计上。由此引发了大量的他国歧视性地使用原产地规则的纠纷。中国制定和运用相对完善的原产地规则以抵御贸易保护主义、维护自身利益已迫在眉睫。     

刍议中小企业发展中的金融支持问题

本文从中小企业的融资特征出发，通过分析造成中小企业融资困难的两大因素(信息不对称和金融体系的结构)的解决方式，提出一个满足不同规模企业融资需求的多层级的金融市场体系，并且在中小企业这一层级的金融市场中，构筑多元化的金融体系，应是适合中小企业发展的有效的金融体系结构。在此基础上，对我国建立多层级多元化的中小企业金融支持体系进行了一些思考。     

生态文明建设背景财政扶持、林权改革对林业生产效率的影响

基于2000—2016年中国省际面板数据,利用DEA-Malmquist指数法对中国林业生产效率的区域差异和时序变化进行研究,运用面板Tobit模型检验财政扶持对林业生产效率的影响并验证林权改革对二者关系的调节作用。研究发现:在生态文明建设背景下,林业生产效率存在显著的区域差异;技术进步对于全要素生产率的提升起到重要推进作用;财政扶持与林权改革均对林业生产效率产生了正向影响,但林权改革并没有对财政扶持与林业生产效率的关系产生积极调节作用。因此,各省份应当通过加大政府扶持力度、优化投资方式、深化集体林权制度改革等措施促进林业生产效率提升。     

扶持林业的经济均衡观

林业的市场失灵源于其公共物品属性、效益外部性和弱质性,而市场失灵的后果使林业在市场中无法实现微观良性循环,即林业经济的不均衡。应用逻辑推理和直观定量的视角,重点剖析林业投入环节微观循环的前提性、基础性的先天缺陷,产出环节微观循环的微观补偿不畅性、萎缩性,并按照社会平均收益的回报或投资林业的机会成本与投资林业实际平均回报之间的差额,以及帕累托均衡原理,初步确定了能够维持林业经济均衡的对微观林业实行经济扶持的量的尺度与标准,进而提出实现林业经济均衡必须依靠国民收入的再分配和政府扶持的论断。     

林业职工自营经济金融支持问题研究——黑龙江伊春林区案例

当前,林业职工的自营经济是伊春市正在发展的一种经济形式。从伊春市发展林业职工自营经济中金融支持的现状出发,发现伊春市对林业职工自营经济的金融支持存在问题,为了增加就业、稳步推进林权制度改革以及经济与金融和谐发展,伊春市需要从构建和谐的金融生态环境、多层次的信用担保体系、各金融机构依据自身的比较优势来满足林业职工自营经济的融资需求。     

林业资源型城市经济转型扶持政策研究

资源型城市经济转型是一个巨大的系统工程,不仅要依靠资源型城市自身力量来完成,还需要中央和地方政府的有关政策扶持,林业资源型城市也不例外。论述林业资源型城市进行政策扶持的必要性。阐述一些西方国家针对不同类型的资源型城市的特点制定的一系列较为完善的扶持政策,如法国和德国主要依靠政府的干预,日本则通过产业政策对煤炭行业进行结构调整等政策促进城市经济顺利转型。在借鉴国外资源型城市转型扶持政策的基础上,提出促进黑龙江省林业资源型城市经济转型的扶持政策,即资源开发的补偿政策和衰退产业的扶持政策,及具体实施办法,以期促进林业资源型城市经济顺利转型。     

Technology gap,imported capital goods and productivity of manufacturing plants in Sub-Saharan Africa

This paper uses firm-level data from Ghana, Tanzania and Kenya to examine the effect of capital goods imports on domestic firms' productivity, and the role firms' technology gap plays in aiding the transmission of knowledge embodied in capital goods to domestic firms. The results show that increasing imports of capital goods and closing technology gaps have positive effects on productivity. Furthermore, domestic firms with technology standards farther from international best practices benefit more from capital goods imports. The results also imply that trade liberalization policy aimed at eliminating tariffs on capital goods will significantly improve the performance of technically incompetent firms in the African manufacturing sector.     

An investigation of problem-solving support and relaxation motivations on e-WOM

As a consequence of greater computer-mediated consumer-to-consumer communication within the firm's marketing communications, there has been a growing need to understand these digital interactions more explicitly. That is, we still know little about the exact extrinsic and intrinsic motivations that drive electronic word-of-mouth. The purpose of the paper is to better understand why members within community-based websites develop a need to exchange and/or develop a social bond within the community. Questionnaire data were gathered from 147 members of an online beauty forum in Australia. The findings highlight that those members seeking problem-solving support in combination with elements of relaxation will be more inclined to exchange with other community members and develop a social bond within that community. Marketing managers can capitalise these findings by strengthening problem-solving support systems and creating environments where community members can also relax and unwind to increase the exchange between members and also increase the social bonds within the community.     

Sustainable tourism planning and climate change adaptation in the Alps: a case study of winter tourism in mountain communities in the Dolomites

A vast body of literature suggests that the European Alpine Region is extremely sensitive to climate change. Winter tourism is closely related to climate variations, especially in mountain regions where resorts are heavily dependent on snow. This paper explores how to effectively integrate a climate change adaptation perspective with local discourses about sustainability and tourism, an increasing priority for policy-makers in the region and elsewhere. It reports on the development and application of a participatory decision support process for the analysis of adaptation strategies for local development of an Alpine tourism destination, Auronzo di Cadore (Dolomites, Italy). This experience significantly contributed to the idea that an efficient combination of modelling capabilities, decision support tools, and participatory processes can substantially improve decision-making for sustainability. The authors show that, in this case study, such a combination of methods and tools allowed for managing the involvement of local actors, stimulating local debates on climate change adaptation and possible consequences on winter tourism, encouraging creativity and smoothing potential conflicts, and easing the integration of the qualitative knowledge and the preferences of the involved actors with quantitative information. This contributed to an integrated sustainability assessment of alternative strategies for sustainable tourism planning.     

Understanding Event Sport Tourism Experiences of Support Partners: A Research Note

The purpose of this research reflection is to set the stage for a more detailed research agenda in exploring event sport tourism experiences of support partners (SPs) during events. Using photo elicitation, the article presents a preliminary empirical case study. Visual materials were assembled by three female participants to interrogate how SPs experience “spectator space” and explore the processes that produced those experiences, an area of study that remains relatively unexplored in leisure research. Initial findings show how waiting to see the triathlete can be anxiety-provoking, but the release of emotion when smiles are exchanged constitutes core activities of being there. However, there are more questions than answers, and there is a need for further inquiry. Suggestions for future research on the impact of serious leisure on intimate others are given.
